European Championships go ahead in France despite terror threats says Francois Hollande
French President Francois Hollande has vowed the threat of extremism will not stop Friday's European Championship football tournament from being successful - even as intelligence chiefs revealed details of a deadly terror plot. Mr Hollande told France Inter radio that precautionary measures, including the deployment of a 90,000-strong security force, will ensure safety at the matches taking place in 10 French cities.
