A CCTV operator who worked at Antrim Road Police Station in North Belfast

:00:00.:00:09.

has been found guilty of voyeurism for his own sexual gratification.

:00:10.:00:12.

50-year-old Ciaran McClave, from Newtownabbey, repeatedly

:00:13.:00:13.

followed the same woman and watched her through the windows of her flat,

:00:14.:00:16.

on a camera which was supposed to be monitoring an interface.

:00:17.:00:26.

BBC Newsline's Mark Simpson was in court.

:00:27.:00:30.

CCTV cameras are supposed to be there to protect the public

:00:31.:00:33.

But one of the operators at Antrim Road Police Station used

:00:34.:00:39.

Ciaran McClave, here in a baseball cap,

:00:40.:00:46.

was today found guilty of voyeurism for his own sexual gratification.

:00:47.:00:51.

He was also found guilty of misconduct in a public office.

:00:52.:00:56.

He worked in a CCTV suite similar to this one, monitoring 48

:00:57.:00:59.

The court was told that he directed the same camera at the

:01:00.:01:07.

same woman's flat for a total of 79 minutes over a period of 26 days.

:01:08.:01:13.

The camera followed her along the street and through

:01:14.:01:19.

She was filmed in her underwear at one stage.

:01:20.:01:24.

Two days later, records show the camera was repeatedly directed

:01:25.:01:27.

The camera was supposed to monitor a North Belfast interface.

:01:28.:01:40.

During the trial, Mr McClave denied the charges,

:01:41.:01:42.

They found him guilty on all eight of the charges which he faced.

:01:43.:01:51.

As the verdicts were read out, Ciaran McClave shook his head.

:01:52.:01:54.

Some relatives in the public gallery began to cry.

:01:55.:02:00.

He was granted bail until sentencing on 5th September.

:02:01.:02:06.

The Parades Commission says there's to be no new review of a decision

:02:07.:02:09.

on a contentious parade in Portadown this Saturday.

:02:10.:02:11.

Yesterday, the Commission reversed a previous ruling and decided

:02:12.:02:13.

a parade could not go into an area which Unionists call Victoria

:02:14.:02:16.

Terrace, but which Nationalists say is part of the Garvaghy Road.

:02:17.:02:24.

Tonight's statement is in contrast to DUP assertions

:02:25.:02:26.

after a meeting this afternoon with the Commission, that it intended to

:02:27.:02:29.

There will be more on that story straight after this

:02:30.:02:38.

There is a new deal on farm payments and rural

:02:39.:02:45.

development, which has been endorsed by the Stormont Executive.

:02:46.:02:47.

The Ulster Farmers? Union says the agreement isn't exactly what they

:02:48.:02:50.

had been hoping for, but they are relieved there won't be a sudden

:02:51.:02:53.

change to farm payments, which, they say, would have been a disaster.

:02:54.:02:55.

Farming is the biggest industry in Northern Ireland, yet owes a lot of

:02:56.:03:15.

thinking to the European subsidy payments. The main parties have now

:03:16.:03:20.

agreed to change how the money is shared out. The overall pot remains

:03:21.:03:24.

the same, but more of the cash will go to Hill sheep farms at the

:03:25.:03:29.

expense of lowland dairy farms, which could see their subsidies

:03:30.:03:35.

reduced by 40%. We are talking about the distribution of nearly ?2

:03:36.:03:41.

billion. People wanted clarity and we are delighted to be able to

:03:42.:03:47.

provide that clarity. The big element of this deal is the long

:03:48.:03:51.

period of transition. We have achieved the longest period of

:03:52.:03:55.

transition in the whole of the United Kingdom. Farmers in Northern

:03:56.:03:58.

Ireland will have the highest per hectare payment in the United

:03:59.:03:59.

Kingdom. The transition to the payment over

:04:00.:04:17.

seven years is the longest in any of the regions in the UK so this

:04:18.:04:20.

will give time for the farmers to Agreement on farm subsidies only

:04:21.:04:40.

came after months of stalemate and instructions from Brussels.

:04:41.:04:44.

The mother of Caroline Graham, who disappeared 25 years ago,

:04:45.:04:47.

has urged anyone who might have information about what happened to

:04:48.:04:49.

Caroline's case was treated a missing person inquiry

:04:50.:04:53.

Detectives opened a murder inquiry two years ago

:04:54.:04:57.

They now believe she was murdered and secretly buried in Portadown.

:04:58.:05:04.

But they say there are still people out there who are

:05:05.:05:06.

Caroline's mother, Barbara, said the past 25 years have been

:05:07.:05:10.

It would be lovely to get her back, to give us closure, so we can move

:05:11.:05:27.

on. For the last 25 years, nobody has moved on. We just hope that

:05:28.:05:37.

somebody says something. We just have to keep going.

:05:38.:05:40.

Some school staff, including teachers, who thought they had been

:05:41.:05:43.

turned down for redundancy have now been told they can leave their jobs.

:05:44.:05:46.

The Education Minister, John O'Dowd, says he's identified extra funding

:05:47.:05:48.

to cover the cost. Earlier this week, it was revealed that a number

:05:49.:05:51.

of teachers who had satisfied all the Department's criteria for

:05:52.:05:54.

A small secondary school in County Fermanagh has been told it will not

:05:55.:06:02.

have to close, despite a proposal by the Catholic authorities.

:06:03.:06:04.

St Mary's High School in Brolla, near Belleek, has fought

:06:05.:06:07.

It currently has only 121 pupils, far below the recommended minimum.

:06:08.:06:19.

Residents in the area surrounding a Belfast landmark say they don't

:06:20.:06:21.

want their neighbourhood turned into a new Holyland.

:06:22.:06:24.

Their comments follow yesterday's announcement that a private

:06:25.:06:26.

developer has bought the old Belfast Tech near the City Centre.

:06:27.:06:29.

The company wants to convert it into student accommodation.

:06:30.:06:31.

Residents in the streets around this beautiful Edwardian building are

:06:32.:06:47.

nervous. They think a sudden influx of students could damage their

:06:48.:06:54.

community. Please see what has happened in Holyland and a warning

:06:55.:06:58.

lights go on. What happened there is planning after the matter. We are

:06:59.:07:03.

hoping to plan forward, do best track this, we can look it in the

:07:04.:07:09.

strap, sewage, parking, litter, before anything starts. If it gets

:07:10.:07:14.

the go-ahead, the developer plan to convert his listed building into a

:07:15.:07:18.

400 dead accommodation block the students. They said they had been

:07:19.:07:23.

watching, monitoring and researching this student accommodation market

:07:24.:07:27.

over five years and say they are aware of the ongoing issues in the

:07:28.:07:33.

Holyland, but they believe there are ?16 million investment will result

:07:34.:07:36.

in a high-quality product. The Belfast Chamber of Commerce say the

:07:37.:07:43.

move as positive. The people who live there will spend money, and

:07:44.:07:50.

those bins -- those businesses will benefit. Students are vital to

:07:51.:07:56.

regeneration. We have seen it in cities around the world, it is

:07:57.:08:01.

positive for the regeneration of an area. Getting the balance right is

:08:02.:08:06.

key. Having provided 25,000 student beds across the UK, the Welsh

:08:07.:08:12.

developers feel they can. Residents are hoping that there are concerns

:08:13.:08:13.

will be listened to. Now here's Barra Best with

:08:14.:08:17.

the weather forecast. We will continue to get outbreaks of

:08:18.:08:30.

:08:31.:08:33.

England and eastern England. They could see some heavier downpours.

:09:10.:09:16.

Further north, it be a decent afternoon across Scotland and

Northern Ireland. If you're out and about, it will not be completely dry
