This was an surreal experience - driving into the centre of a wildfire and getting to see first hand the incredible work of the fire crews on the ground. Full report below.
5 News gains exclusive access to the frontline, joining a firefighting team as they perform an “incredibly rare and very dangerous” manoeuvre, as wildfires continue to rage and heatwaves persist in France.

An Afghan refugee has been sentenced to an indefinite hospital order for the manslaughter of a man who was killed while out walking his dog in west London. Dawood Safi, an Uber driver who arrived in the UK illegally six years ago, was in the grips of psychosis when he fatally stabbed street sweeper Wayne Broadhurst during a “ferocious” knife rampage in October last year.

This interview I’ll stay with me. The unimaginable pain these parents must be feeling. Full interview below.
Ryan Rudd, 28, was last seen on a night out in Selby on February 15. But it took two weeks for him to be reported missing from his army barracks - a delay his parents fear could erode hope of finding him. The Army are working with North Yorkshire Police in their investigation.

Musician and composer Nigel Kennedy is heading back out on tour! He reflects on his impressive career - first rising to fame in the 1980s and 90s, adding a modern twist to centuries-old classical music with his trusty violin.

Six years ago, Dame Vera Lynn died at the age of 103. Affection for the Forces' Sweetheart remains as strong as ever, and a treasure trove of her wartime mementoes is now going to be displayed at the Imperial War Museum this spring. @KNashTV

Celebs, friends, and family gathered for a memorial service for legendary novelist Dame Jilly Cooper.  The Rival's author was remembered by close friend Felicity Blunt and her husband Stanley Tucci as an extraordinary person, a brilliant writer and, of course, a little naughty.

Siobhán McSweeney has barely been off our screens... Not just acting, she's also a successful presenter - including the Irish version of The Traitors. She reflects on doing a science degree at university, but admits "acting got me in the end!" @siobhni | @KNashTV

A first of its kind study has found too much screen time is damaging many toddlers' ability to speak. The research has prompted the government to offer new guidance to families to try and put the brakes on the problem.

New road safety plans announced by the government will mean everyone over the age of 70 will have eye tests every three years if they want to keep driving. They're also planning to bring in tougher drink-driving limits for England and Wales.

The parents of a young woman, who died in supported accommodation, say more needs to be done to protect others in similar circumstances. 24-year-old Chante Lloyd-Buckingham had autism and mental health issues, and was found dead in her accommodation in East Sussex in August. Chante’s mother tells 5 News’ @KNashTV that they need to be “held accountable.”

This is a really important campaign by @ageuk to help others. Full story below.
Christmas is a time of year many of us get to spend quality time with our family and friends. But for many of the older generation, the festive season is a period of intense loneliness. According to Age UK, 1.5 million pensioners will be spending Christmas Day alone this year. @KNashTV has been hearing what that feels like.

A fitting tribute to a man we’ll miss dearly. A sad day for the 5 News family.
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.

Imagine being physically or financially abused by your own son or daughter. That's the reality for a shocking number of parents with grown-up children - according to new figures from the charity @wearehourglass_, shared exclusively with 5 News. Campaigners say the issue is often overlooked - and it's causing real harm. 5 News' @KNashTV reports.
