A Filipino man has admitted voyeurism after he hid a phone in the toilet of a mixed-use flat to secretly record one of the female tenants. Dubai Criminal Court of First Instance heard R B, a 29-year-old charted accountant, hid his iPhone behind a gown on the toilet door. Prosecutors showed the court video evidence downloaded from the phone. The case was the second of its kind to come before the court in the past two months. In March, a supermarket worker was sentenced to three months in jail after he made a secret recording of a woman using the toilet at work. He will be sentenced later this month. amustafa@thenational.ae

Five ways to get fit like Craig David (we tried for seven but ran out of time)
Start the week as you mean to go on. So get your training on strong on a Monday.
Train hard, but don’t take it all so seriously that it gets to the point where you’re not having fun and enjoying your friends and your family and going out for nice meals and doing that stuff.
Think about what you’re training or eating a certain way for — don’t, for example, get a six-pack to impress somebody else or lose weight to conform to society’s norms. It’s all nonsense.
Get your priorities right.
And last but not least, you should always, always chill on Sundays.
