Irishman Kevin Mallon, who was arrested in Brazil over

alleged illegal ticket sales at the Olympic Games,

The former Olympic Council of Ireland president

This latest development came as the OCI confirmed that two Irish

boxers are being investigated over betting at the 2016 games.

Kevin Mallon, Dublin -based director of THD sports was arrested on the

day of the Olympics opening ceremony three weeks ago. Police said he had

hundreds of tickets earmarked for the Olympic Council of Ireland. The

HG did not have rights to sell Olympic tickets but said Mr Mallon

was holding them for collection by an authorised ticket reseller. He is

being held in the brains -- same present self of the former president

of the OCI Pat Hickey. Mr Hickey has refused any wrongdoing but has been

refused bail. Yesterday, Irish Foreign Minister Charlie Flanagan

agreed to make the family of IOC after they said they were gravely

concerned about his health and continued detention. They want to

express their concern about the safety of Mr Hickey, his mental and

physical health. He has a heart condition. I have no doubt that what

has happened to him, the manner of his arrest and the pictures across

world media had been so utterly humiliating to a 71-year-old man

that they are worried about the effect that might happen his

physical health. Earlier today, the Olympic Council of Ireland confirmed

that two Irish boxers at Rio have been spoken to about what they call

inappropriate betting activity during the games. No details have

emerged about what sports the bets were placed on. It is not illegal

for athletes or officials to place bets at the Olympic Games, but it is

against the rules of the International Olympic Council. Paddy

Barnes and Michael Conlon have told the BBC they are not the boxers

the BBC they are not the boxers involved.

There's been widespread condemnation of an attack on Jewish graves

There had been reports of a group of youths wielding hammers

and blocks in the cemetery on Friday afternoon.

Graves here from health as's Jewish community get back to the 1870s.

They are in a walled section of the city cemetery. There is still some

evidence of the drinking and drug taking that the police believe was

going on here. Council staff reported a small group of youths

surrounded by a much larger crowd. They used hammers and blocks to

smash an pushover almost everything they could find. There has been

extensive damage to 13 graves here in the Jewish section of the

cemetery. It is always walled off imprudently locked but it is still

not the first time it has happened. The police are treating it as a hate

crime and are appealing for witnesses. One

man comes quietly to look at the graves of his family and assessed

the damage. He finds for his grandparents and an uncle life. He

did not wish to be interviewed or identified but allowed us to film

him as he searched on. Then he followed Jewish tradition and placed

the stone on the broken grave of his father, the last person to be buried

back in this cemetery in 1964. My thoughts go out to the families of

those affected by this. This is an egregious attack. The reality is

that this is not an attack on the Jewish community, but on all of us.

I would encourage anyone with information to give it to police to

ensure that those people are brought to book. Belfast City Council has

spent money repairing the graves before, now there is more work to be

done. A security alert in South Armagh has

ended after Army bomb experts It was found yesterday evening

on Hall Road in Lislea. It's not yet known whether it was

a viable device or a hoax. Local people say the alert caused

considerable disruption. Around 17,000 members

of the Royal Black Institution have been on parade at locations

across Northern Ireland. The main event was held in Lisburn

for the first time since 2003. 107 preceptories from County Down

took part in the parade from Wallace Park to Barbour Playing

Fields. Other demonstrations

were held in Ballymena, Portadown, Loughgall,

Castlederg and Raphoe On to the weather now for the

holiday weekend, with Barra Best. We do have some glimmers of

sunshine, especially in the Eastern counties candidate. Overnight

tonight there will be the odd spot of wet weather, but it will be mild.

Tomorrow, we are expecting some rain to come into County Antrim and

County Down, lingering for a while but some heavy bursts. Tomorrow will

be mainly dry day with some sunny spells. So, added more wedding

counties Antrim and down, then not a bad day behind it so if you're

heading to botanic Gardens tomorrow it will be a case of keeping rather

than the umbrella. If you're travelling tomorrow, across Ireland

it is a good day with lots of dry weather. More unsettled and parts of

England, rain in the north-east of England, turning showery behind it.

Showers showers and eastern parts of Scotland tomorrow could be heavy and

thundery. Although there will be plenty of dry weather in England and

will speak odd shower is likely to pop up. Still warm in the sunshine.

For us, 18 or 19 degrees. Maybe 20 in some spots. On the north coast it

will be a little bit more cruel because of the breeze. In any

sunshine. Feel quite pleasant. As for bank holiday Monday April after

a dry start. Possibly some rain coming in from the west later,

making its way eastwards. The exact detail on that is a bit uncertain at

this stage. We will keep an eye on things and keep you updated. Stay

tuned to the forecast. BBC Newsline will be

back tomorrow at 6.50pm. From everyone here

on the programme, enjoy
