Tonight's 7 o'clock bulletin is certainly a better length than the earlier one - and the fact that it includes more real news makes the inclusion of the gypsies and singers slightly more forgiveable.
I'm a bit surprised they led both programmes with the drivers story - I was hoping it might have been bumped back a bit in the 7.

Was he paid in cash or anti-wrinkle cream, I wonder?

One of the pre-launch articles said that the 7pm would be longer than the 5pm bulletin
Perhaps there should be a greater differention in the bulletins, the 5pm being a faster paced...more stories one, and the 7pm with fewer stories, more guests? Seems pointless with 2 bulletins so similar so close together, yet the always plug the 7pm on the earlier one, yet the agenda is scarecely different enough for people to tune into both.

From the sky news press office - just thought I'd chuck it into the mix.

Natasha Kaplinsky, who was announced as the new face of Five News last October, will present all the major national and international stories of the day, with a particular focus on strong human interest items. The tone will be authoritative, yet relatively informal.
The re-launch comes just weeks after Five News was nominated as News Programme of the Year and also for Innovation, for its daily Your News feature, by the Royal Television Society.
Natasha Kaplinsky said: "It's really exciting to be launching the new look Five News. I think the new studio pulls off the trick of being totally state-of-the art, but also warm and inviting. There’s a great team here and I just can’t wait to get going”.
Five News Editor, David Kermode, said: “Our look is modern and exciting, feeling equally at home in daytime and evening peak. We’ve dispensed with the virtual, big screen grammar that has become ubiquitous in TV news. The design emphasis is on reality, energy and informality.”
Five’s Senior Programme Controller, News and Current Affairs, Chris Shaw, said: “We will be building our reputation for straight-talking, positive and innovative news reporting. I want Five News to be a news programme people actively enjoy.”
A new, contemporary studio, designed by leading set designer Chris Webster, replaces Five News’ current set and creates a warmer, friendlier and more intimate feel. Key features of the set include 64 cutting-edge LED lighting units, with five colour mixing, offering the Director the flexibility to create several colour looks within the set at the touch of a button. A layered effect in the background gives the set depth and a patterned “wallpaper” design effect adds texture.
The studio, based within the Sky News Centre, will also include a ‘desk slide’ cut into the rostra, a freestanding, illuminated Five News icon in the foreground and a raised acrylic rear projection screen showing the news image of the day.
Changes to the programme’s logo, graphics, titles and music help generate a fresh on-air look. The colours of the Five News logo have also changed: the “Five” is now a deep blue and the “News” is an ‘electric aqua’ colour. The colours also make up two interweaving bands in the new dynamic opening title sequence, and are also used for the programme's 'supers'.
Composer Julian Ronnie of Mammoth Music, whose credits include Skins and Vice has composed a new vibrant theme tune for Five News.
Five News will also have a brand new site within five.tv/news to coincide with the relaunch. Users can find all the latest breaking news, as well as regular blogs from Natasha in Natasha’s Newsroom, giving an insight into the stories behind the news. Your News also remains integral to the site and users can watch viewer contributions again, as well as the best of Five News.
In a further change, Five News’ lunchtime bulletin has moved from 1130 to 1230. The full Five News presenting line-up includes: Natasha Kaplinsky, Kate Gerbeau, Matt Barbet, Helen Fospero, and Asha Tanna.

I noticed the base of the camera in the frame on the bottom left at the end too - expected it to disappear.
Also, is that white box that appears some sort of modern day cue dot in the bottom left? what could that be used for? the weather? Any techies that could explain, perhaps?
You often see a small dot, or other indicator, at the edge of frame when you are running a sequence which starts "blank" and then keys over the output. The small indicator allows the director, vision mixer, VT Op/Designer/Playout person to know that the key effect is going to happen and set up correctly before it does. If the effect really did start blank it would be difficult to know if it was set up correctly - or just not set up at all...
(There are other reasons for a small dot to be used - if a closing credit crawl starts blank and the first credit crawls into frame a small white dot lets you confirm it is keyed correctly AND that it has started to crawl, or in some regions is used to confirm that they are soft opted out correctly whilst still showing network)

Heres the close, interestingly you can still see the camera at the very edges of the image, the endcap doesn't fully fill the frame.

I thought it was superb, if I'm really honest. I'm getting fed up of hearing people complaining about the content, it's quite a refreshing change to straight hard news bulletins (of which there are plenty if you are so desperate for it).
It isn't pretending to be anything it's not. Believe it or not, there are people who do prefer the types of stories covered. It's nicely filling in a gap which was previously not well covered.
I think the graphics, music and set are all great, too.
