That's all from us. Don't forget a first look at the

:00:00.:00:15.

A serving and a former police officer are among six people

:00:16.:00:18.

investigating the awarding of vehicle contracts in the PSNI.

:00:19.:00:22.

The arrests were made in counties Antrim,

:00:23.:00:24.

With more details here's our Home Affairs correspondent

:00:25.:00:28.

The PSNI operates the largest fleet of vehicles in Northern Ireland. Six

:00:29.:00:36.

men are being questioned. Four men were arrested in Northern Ireland

:00:37.:00:43.

and two in England. All are being questioned at Antrim police station.

:00:44.:00:50.

They have been arrested on suspicion of a range of offences including

:00:51.:00:55.

bribery and misconduct. It is not clear whether the offences are in

:00:56.:01:02.

to the purchasing of vehicles, the servicing of the vehicles, or both.

:01:03.:01:13.

It is understood that computers have been removed from the homes of those

:01:14.:01:20.

accused. The police now said it expects its officers and staff to

:01:21.:01:24.

behave professionally and with integrity at all times.

:01:25.:01:40.

A woman has told Belfast crown court that she's still

:01:41.:01:43.

receiving counselling two years after a civilian CCTV operator

:01:44.:01:45.

allegedly trained a camera into her flat in North Belfast.

:01:46.:01:51.

50 year old Ciaran McCreavie from Collinwood Gardens

:01:52.:01:53.

in Newtownabbey denies misconduct in a public office, voyeurism and

:01:54.:01:55.

The defendant was one of three civilian CCTV operators when the

:01:56.:02:06.

alleged offences were committed. They worked in a CCTV suite similar

:02:07.:02:15.

to this one. The accused denies directing a camera and zooming into

:02:16.:02:21.

the living room of a flat for his gratification.

:02:22.:02:27.

The prosecution said that in November the defendant saw the

:02:28.:02:38.

woman in a state of undress. He wilfully abused his position by

:02:39.:02:48.

watching the woman. Giving evidence a CCTV operator said

:02:49.:02:56.

he had checked various cameras, and he saw an image on one of the

:02:57.:03:06.

cameras with a person in underwear. He said, he had not seen

:03:07.:03:15.

anything so intrusive. He claims that the defendant smiled and walked

:03:16.:03:25.

off. The woman told the court that since being told about the alleged

:03:26.:03:30.

offences she had lived behind closed curtains.

:03:31.:03:40.

Attacks on horses are threatening to disrupt riding lessons for children

:03:41.:03:44.

Eight ponies at the Fort Centre Riding school in Maghera

:03:45.:03:50.

have been attacked twice over the last two weeks -

:03:51.:03:53.

some of them chased and jumped on, causing them to become stressed.

:03:54.:03:56.

The police say they have spoken to a number of 15-year-olds

:03:57.:03:59.

We do not want this charity to be impacted upon by anti-social

:04:00.:04:36.

behaviour. In February Catholic Church met the

:04:37.:04:41.

institution. Changes have been made to a plan

:04:42.:04:45.

for Northern Ireland's first major The scale of the ?1 billion project

:04:46.:04:48.

has been reduced in response to concerns from the

:04:49.:04:51.

fishing and shipping industries. Here's our business

correspondent Julian O'Neill. This fishing fleet has been made

:04:55.:04:55.

nervous by the prospect of a wind farm five miles out to sea. Huge

:04:56.:04:58.

wind turbines like these can be a navigational hazard. The industry

:04:59.:05:02.

argues it can displace fish stocks. The energy consortium has been

:05:03.:05:09.

assessing this area for two years. It is outlined in red. It has now

:05:10.:05:15.

been narrowed down further. The turbines will be confined to the

:05:16.:05:23.

zone marked in green. These will be bigger turbines. Bigger turbines

:05:24.:05:29.

have to be spaced further apart. It is a step in the right direction.

:05:30.:05:37.

The consortium says it also wants to minimise disruption to shipping

:05:38.:05:44.

lanes. The idea behind the project is to reduce our dependency on

:05:45.:06:19.

imported fuel and make us less to price fluctuations. Reducing the

:06:20.:06:21.

size of this wind farm will reduce its clout.

:06:22.:06:24.

Initially the giant turbines were going to produce 20% of the power in

:06:25.:06:26.

Northern Ireland. That has now been reduced to 10%.

:06:27.:06:30.

A number of issues were taken into account, including those from the

:06:31.:06:32.

fishing industry. What we are aiming to do now is carry on the

:06:33.:06:35.

investigation so that we can design a project that meets the needs of

:06:36.:06:38.

the project and the fishing industry.

:06:39.:06:40.

Getting this project operational is still many years away. Planning and

:06:41.:06:42.

other approvals are yet to be granted. The target date is

:06:43.:06:45.

2020. easyJet has apologised to passengers

:06:46.:06:53.

who suffered a delay of more than 12 hours yesterday

on the London Gatwick to They eventually landed this morning,

:06:56.:06:58.

having spent part of the night The plane couldn't land at Belfast

:06:59.:07:01.

because of a combination of maintenance work

:07:02.:07:05.

on the runway and foggy conditions. Some passengers have described the

:07:06.:07:07.

journey as a shambles. This is the first time I have done

:07:08.:07:23.

this connection and it will probably be the last. I have been flying for

:07:24.:07:28.

25 years. This is the worst ever experience.

:07:29.:07:35.

An oil rig which has been part of the East Belfast skyline over

:07:36.:07:38.

the past six months has now left the Harland and Wolff shipyard.

:07:39.:07:41.

It took several hours just to get out of the yard.

:07:42.:07:44.

The Blackford Dolphin rig was supposed to be refitted

:07:45.:07:47.

in just two months but it needed more extensive repair work.

:07:48.:07:50.

About 600 workers have been employed on the project -

:07:51.:07:54.

with around two thirds brought in from outside Northern Ireland

:07:55.:08:01.

Tomorrow on BBC Radio Ulster there's a broadcasting first

:08:02.:08:03.

for the Talkback programme as it comes live from inside the Laganside

:08:04.:08:06.

And here on BBC Newsline at 6.30 I will be presenting from Enniskillen

Here is the weather. It has been the warmest day of the year so far. It

:08:15.:08:39.

will be a mild night tonight. Overnight tonight the cloud starts

to build. By tomorrow morning we could be seeing scenes like this

gain. We could have a murky start to things. As they go through the day

:08:58.:09:06.

that should burn back the click. This high pressure system is keeping

:09:07.:09:11.

things still and calm. It will be a nice day across the UK. The Eastern

:09:12.:09:20.

side of England will be markedly cooler. A bright afternoon in

:09:21.:09:25.

Northern Ireland. Particularly inland. A very pleasant day. On the

:09:26.:09:33.

coast there could be cloud in the afternoon. Thursday has a different

:09:34.:09:42.

feel to it. It will be a cloudier day. But temperatures are what we

:09:43.:09:57.

would expect for this time of year. That is all for now. Goodbye.
