@EastCoast, @InternationalDesk, @ginnyfan, thank you for clarification , screencaps & excerpts! Completely forgot that the whole thing started from London in the evening!
They gave the new studio a nice run today by using it not only for a fancy backdrop (hello AC360), but also putting content and a guest onto its video walls.
=============================================================================================
On a separate note, in the CNNI schedule from 1 March 4am ET "CNN Newsroom" hour is no longer labelled as "with Max Foster and Bianca Nobilo", just "with Max Foster". Could be a glitch, could be a vacation, or could be a sign of changes to come. Bianca was last seen anchoring this hour a week ago, on 21 February.
=============================================================================================
Also there was a blooper at the end of QMB with Isa Soares substituting. She announced "The Lead with Jake Tapper starts right now"... immediately followed by "CNN Special report" - a European prime time repeat of yesterday's "The Will to Win: Ukraine at War" Special Report. I mean, they should have warned the anchors, shouldn't they? (Although it is still much better than CNN/US anchors who usually hand over to another show without any regard of the international viewers.)

All I can say is that backdrop was the same as usual. I remember that trick they did few months ago with Lynda Kinkade in the old-but-now-back-in-use CNN Studio 4 when it all looked like a flash studio until they did an occasional wide shot just before the ad break...
