France on Thursday faces its first major security challenge of the Euro 2016 football championships with a giant open-air concert at the 90,000-capacity fan zone in Paris.

Unresolved strikes over labour reform have provided another unwelcome distraction to the showpiece event, with Paris scrambling to stop rubbish piling up in its streets.
