I agree it did go awry between 2005 and 2010 before they refound their form when they started introducing the branded programmes, is it just me it looks like the lower thirds has a drop shadow on the text and the logo but not the flipper.

When World followed News 24 in moving from an orange to a red clamshell in April 2005 (nine months after News 24), they only did so for the live generated titles - all other graphics remained orange, including titles for weekend summaries, The World Today and BBC News Extra. There was also a mismatch of orange graphics having a large BBC News logo and small BBC World logo, while red graphics were the other way round.
The 2007 graphics launch not only featured numerous elements outside the safe zone, with the graphics having to be altered multiple times over several weeks, but the ticker frequently broke down during the first two months of the new look and a red breaking news ticker not introduced for several months.
During the late-N8-era, the colour which the newsroom was lit for World News and World Business Report varied depending on the edition.
You complain about WBR retaining old titles, but neither the 2000, 2003 or 2006 WBR rebrands coincided with wider presentation changes.
This isn't to say that there hasn't been some sloppy presentation since the merger, but none of the actual issues are new.
The issue appears be with the sloppy presentation is that it has become more frequent since the merger rather than anything new.

It's what happens when TV becomes a race to the bottom.

Amateur hour doesn't do it justice anymore. This is worse than GBNews debut. Are there any adults left in the room,???

I liked how he calmly he credited her as if it was a normal report.

No apology for the f-bomb? It was a subtle one but definitely there

I think it's important to remember that this is a result of cost-cutting, coming about because of real-terms reductions in the licence fee by the government since 2010.
