Two local Olympic fighters are among three athletes found to have

:00:00.:00:08.

breached the rules by betting on boxing contests at the Rio Games.

:00:09.:00:13.

Michael Conlan from Belfast and Steven Donnelly from Ballymena

by the IOC's Disciplinary Commission.

:00:16.:00:21.

If Michael Conlan thought things couldn't get worse

:00:22.:00:31.

after losing his fight in controversial circumstances,

:00:32.:00:34.

The Belfast boxer has been found to have violated Olympic Games

:00:35.:00:39.

rules governing betting at the competition.

:00:40.:00:43.

The IOC Disciplinary Commission severely reprimanded three boxers,

:00:44.:00:47.

two from the Ireland team and one from Great Britain.

:00:48.:00:51.

In the case of Michael Conlan, it was found he had violated

:00:52.:00:54.

the rules and he was sanctioned with a severe reprimand.

programme and actively participate. During the interview,

:01:09.:01:10.

the committee said that Michael Conlan said that,

he had not read them so he was not Michael Conlan did not

bet on his fights. Ballymena boxer Steven Donnelly

:01:18.:01:36.

bet against himself in a welterweight bout,

:01:37.:01:38.

a fight that he subsequently won. He told the commission he had placed

:01:39.:01:53.

the bat without intending to cheat. Having been there myself as an

:01:54.:01:57.

Olympian, I have never heard about it before. Every boxer is an

:01:58.:02:01.

individual. None of the boxers were found

:02:02.:02:03.

to have tried to manipulate The Olympic sanctions aren't likely

:02:04.:02:06.

to have any major impact as both boxers have left the amateur scene

:02:41.:02:43.

Thomas Thompson, was given a three-year suspended sentence

:02:44.:02:46.

at Antrim Crown Court. Claire Hinton met him

:02:47.:02:51.

in 1998 at a church youth club when she was 13

:02:52.:02:54.

and he was 24 and married. She said what happened

I even contemplated suicide. Having to deal with this every day,

it became just too much for me. Thankfully, I am still here,

:03:48.:03:54.

and I am still fighting, every day. In court, the judge said that

Thomas Thompson had taken sexual advantage of a young

:04:10.:04:12.

she had no regrets about coming forward and encouraged other victims

:04:13.:04:18.

to speak out and seek help. The stigma around sexual abuse

:04:19.:04:24.

is that nobody talks about it. And, because it is not being talked

:04:25.:04:29.

about, perpetrators can get away with it, so I do not for one second

there were many adjustments It was difficult just to register

that we had actually lost the William that we had,

:06:36.:06:43.

but we have got the new one in his place with lots of different

:06:44.:06:49.

character, qualities, etc, but we are so thankful that he

:06:50.:06:53.

is still with us. On top of caring, there was another

:06:54.:07:05.

battle to be fought, with social services,

:07:06.:07:10.

to get respite. And it is a fight that Sherol

:07:11.:07:13.

wants to see simplified. It hasn't been easy,

:07:14.:07:16.

but I would just like and there has been some support,

:07:17.:07:19.

but it has been sparse. I just live, day to day, and have

we are the only part of the UK that doesn't have the rights of carers

enshrined in law, and we're hoping that soon we will change that

and we'll get the support of all parties here

with the weather forecast. Hello, good evening. After a day

:11:44.:11:56.

with temperatures above 20, it's all change tonight. Following from a

:11:57.:12:02.

band of rain early, some cooler, fresher conditions bringing some

:12:03.:12:06.

showers. Temperatures tonight around nine or ten. It will be increasingly

:12:07.:12:11.

lost to read. By the time we wake up tomorrow, we can see some gale force

:12:12.:12:17.

gusts. It will be a pretty blustery day throughout the day, driving

:12:18.:12:21.

those showers in. The good news is that, between the showers, there

:12:22.:12:25.

will be plenty of bright and sunny weather. Look at the temperatures.

:12:26.:12:31.

Today, we saw highs in the low 20s. Tomorrow, the middle teens is as

:12:32.:12:36.

good as it gets. There has been low pressure to the north of Scotland,

:12:37.:12:41.

driving those showers in. Much drier and warm are further south and east.

:12:42.:12:46.

Overnight Thursday and into Friday, the showers continue. It's a cooler

:12:47.:12:51.

night with temperatures in single figures. Friday, a fresher feel and

:12:52.:12:56.

showers continuing. Possibly a bit more in the way of cloud during the

:12:57.:13:00.

day, which will hold back temperatures into the lower teams.

:13:01.:13:07.

Come the weekend, once this low moves away, we open the door to some

:13:08.:13:12.

decent weather for later part of Saturday and into Sunday. Saturday

:13:13.:13:16.

afternoon will be perfectly useful once the rain starts to dry up.

:13:17.:13:19.

Sunday is actually looking like a rather nice day.
