Does Channel 5 not bother with the weather on their short updates anymore?

Looks as though Dan is doing this bulletin on his own now and CL has disappeared again? Could be completely wrong but it even appears the desk is smaller to accommodate one host!

Looks like only 3 sections were used. And not set up as '5' shape.

I seem to recall that 5 News winds down in the weeks before Christmas last year as well before going back to full strength in the new year.
However it's the bulletin that despite having Dan Walker on board continues to have stand-ins on a regular basis and a heavy use of freelancers.

Did signing Dan boost ratings at all?

My original point was that it looks as though he's now doing it on his own, with CL quietly having left. She's not been on in weeks.

From 24th August edition of Popbitch;
“It could have been so easy for Channel 5. As flagship presenters for ITV, the BBC, TalkTV and GB News have all become implicated in career-defining scandals, all it needed to do was keep its head down, its hands clean and take care of any issues that did crop up sensibly.
But no.
A leading anchor on 5 News recently raised a grievance against ITN over allegations of racism and a toxic work environment, providing a 200-page dossier of supporting material as evidence of their claim.
ITN's response? Taking that presenter off air.”

That missing presenter was on air during September (a month after the Popbitch item) which suggests she wasn’t taken off by ITN, and also that there may be some spin going on somewhere
