Had a chat about my management/leadership journey with an old friend. We learnt a lot about each other professionally! 30 mins you won’t get back but might find some of the tips useful or just interesting!

The team at 5 News would like to pay tribute to one of our own legends.

One of our longest-serving camera operators, Mark Vinall, has sadly died at home after a long illness.

Many of the excellent pictures you have seen on this programme over the past 20 years were filmed by Mark. He was brilliant at his job and a delight to work with.

Mark loved 5 News and we loved him. We will miss him dearly.

[Debbie Ramsay @Deb_ramz]

Thank you Caroline, Mark and Sophie for sharing just a little bit of Harvey with us.
You can watch the interview from 5pm tonight here https://t.co/7ds0Bn8fhr

[Dan Walker @mrdanwalker]

🚨Tonight on 5 News🚨

An EXCLUSIVE interview with the family of Harvey Willgoose.

Just over two months ago, 15-year-old Harvey was stabbed to death at his school in Sheffield.

His mum and dad, Caroline and Mark, and his older sister Sophie, talk about the pain of that day, his last words to them and the devastation of life without someone they loved so much.

They touch on their desire to campaign to keep knives out of our schools and the issue of absenteeism – which was a problem for Harvey.

The family are completely broken but they are determined that Harvey’s tragic death will make a difference.

Join us tonight, at 5, on 5

Chasing down the hawk hunters for @5_News - well done @RebeccaMbogoro @CallenderDevron

[Channel 5 News @5_News]

The man who caught the hawk that’s been wreaking havoc in the small village near Luton, told 5 News the predator chased him down his back garden.

Steve Harris luckily caught the bird in a cage and Alan Greenhalgh, who took the bird away, said it was "the right time at the right place".
