Euro 2016 Outside Source

This is Outside Source and we're live in Paris for the start

President Obama has endorsed Hillary Clinton is his choice to take over

from him in the White House. Following recent attacks in Paris

more than 90,000 police, soldiers and private security

agents are being deployed Those fans are here to see fantastic

football of course. One of our top commentators will be live with me in

a few minutes. We'll also have the latest

from on the EU referendum Two former Prime Ministers have

joined forces to give the case for Britain staying

in the European Union. And, as always, if you want to get

in touch at any time - #BBC OS. How could security not be the number

one issue at Euro 2016? Bear in mind the horror visited on the city last

year. Charlie Hebdo officers were attacked, the Jewish supermarket

were attacked, and then in November, the onslaught of the Paris attacks

by Islamic State. We have had the Brussels attacks and there is huge

concern, that when you bring large groups of people together, whether

at the base of the Eiffel Tower or games across the country, that risks

creating targets the people who would like to do harm. But the

authorities are adamant the tournament will go ahead. This is

one tactic I wanted to highlight for you. A smartphone up will warn of

terrorist attacks. This has been available for a day or so and can be

downloaded by anyone. It's a clever thing. It uses geolocation and can

tell a few close to emergency. There are also broader pieces of advice

for everyone coming to Euro 2016 in terms of precautions to take, how to

be aware of risks if there is a problem.

I'm here with Elie Tenenbaum, Research fellow in defence at IFRI.

This was inevitable, that security became so central to the tournament.

Absolutely, after the terrible year 2015, in December, we had the first

test and Euro 2016 was the next big move for security issues. We have

police, private security, soldiers, smartphone apps, but really, isn't

this about intelligence? That is the way to stop attacks. Of course. You

can always have, due to the way terrorists move now, you can always

have someone slipping into the way of a jihadists deciding to move. You

will need a very strong security system, just to protect you. If

intelligence fails. I want to talk about Nicolas Sarkozy. He says these

brands owners should not have been set up, they are creating a target,

it's a mistake. It's easy to criticise the government and say if

you didn't have been found since, people would just totally spread all

throughout the city. It would have been even more difficult to secure

these. At least the fan zones, you can note that this number of people

will be parked in this specific certain that you will be able to put

security there. Despite the defiance of the politicians and everyone here

in France, the attacks of last year have changed Paris and France. This

is a different tournament because of those attacks. People are more aware

of the threats. People are afraid to some extent. But people are still

enjoying the weather in Paris. People are starting to live with the

threats now. Thank you for your time. It really is a multifaceted

operation to keep this tournament is safe and is impossible to judge how

effective that will be until the end. We spoke to one person working

in intelligence who says he still believes that some point, someone

will try to do something. It's just a question of whether the

authorities have the necessary measures in place to stop that being

successful. We will come back in a few minutes and talk about the team

said, 24 of them. The tournament has got bigger over the last euros per I

want to turn our attention back to the campaigns in the UK on either

side of the referendum. In Northern Ireland, we have seen two former

prime ministers, Sir John Major and Tony Blair, joining forces despite

being from rival parties, to send a message that if you vote leave, you

risk undermining the peace process and not them. So John Major has said

the unity of the United Kingdom is also on the ballot paper. This is

Nigel Dodds of the Democratic Unionist party, saying talks of

threats are dangerous, destabilising and it should not be happening.

Let's bring in our PDC correspondence. Are you surprised to

see such an emphasis on Northern Ireland? They are trying to get

their message out everywhere. Both sides feel this is a very close

contest indeed so they want the campaign. What has been very

interesting is seeing political foes standing side-by-side, so John Major

and Tony Blair, deciding together on their campaign. And that is what we

have got the night with this debate going on behind me. It has been

pretty feisty. Seeing the First Minister of Scotland standing up

there with conservative minister, Labour MP, and on the other side,

you have got Labour and Conservative standing 12. We have had exchanges

about immigration, a huge issue during this campaign, and we have

also had a big argument about how much money the UK actually sends to

the European Union. The claim from the league side is it is ?350

million a week. That has been disputed by many people because

Britain gets a big rebate and a lot of the money comes back on farm

subsidies and other projects. But it's all about control. The message

the night from the people on that stage is it is all about control.

What about trade? That has been a huge issue too how would Britain

trade with their rest of the EU if it was outside the single market?

They were asked the details. They would have access to the single

market. Says who? You are making it up! 21 countries, Angela, who have

done better at exporting services. Things are starting to generate in

the project there, don't you think? I am struck that they do this. There

is a member of that panel who has campaigned about the running

campaign, saying its miserable, negative and they -based, and fear

-based campaigning starts to insult people's intelligence. That was

Nicola Sturgeon! I agree with Nicola. At least it's not driving

around the country with a bus with a giant whopper painted on the side of

a bus. We will stay in the single market, says who? There is not a

single country anywhere that has access to the single market on the

basis we have access to the single market right now without abiding by

the rules of the single market. Norway and Switzerland have access

but they have to pay for it, they have to abide by all the rules have

no say over how they are made and they have to have free movement.

They are perpetuating a complete lie and you should not fall for it. It

is con. Both sides in this contest think it is very close. What we have

got now is different people making different arguments. On the remains

side, there is a left-wing argument, saying the reason for staying in is

because of work's writes, there is an argument about trade being put

forward by others, but both sides will be out there campaigning around

the whole of the United Kingdom for every single vote. Thank you very

much indeed. We will get extensive coverage of this referendum campaign

here. In the next few weeks, we will be live from Manchester, Edinburgh,

Kent, Westminster and from Brussels, so stay in touch with us. We will

bring you all manner of different coverage on an absolutely essential

vote for the UK's future. One of the BBC's top commentators is waiting on

the balcony because in a minute, we will get into the teams, 24 of them,

who I in France for 2016. We will also talk about the smallest country

ever to qualify for a tournament of this stature. See if you can work

out which team that is. Northern Ireland's police watchdog has found

there was collusion between police officers and loyalist paramilitaries

that killed six Catholics more than 20 years ago.

The men were killed at a pub in County Down in 1994.

The Police Service of Northern Ireland says it accepts

there was collusion and has apologised to the families

You may have seen me broadcasting from Cologne a few weeks ago and we

were there to understand the rise of the popularity for a far right party

called the alternative for Germany. And in France, it's

the National Front. It has been delivering results that

far exceeded the predictions of some. If we look at last year's

regional elections, they polled 6.8 million votes. This is a two round

system. In the first round, it polled incredibly well but that did

not translate into seats in the second round because voters on the

left, marketing pink, and voters on the right decided to vote tactically

to keep their seats away from the National front.

Overall, the the National Front took 27%.

I'm here with Thomas Guenole, a political scientist

We try and understand the rise of the far right across Europe but are

there specific reasons for the popularity of the National front in

France? Not really. It's a global western European trend. It is a

massive xenophobic boost across the entire western Europe which is the

consequence of the economic crack. We had a crack in 2007-8, and years

later, we had more and more rejection of immigrants which is

classic. Is this xenophobic or understandable concern that many

people are coming into your country and perhaps it is difficult to

manage? In France and most European countries, if you look at it, we

don't have that much immigration apart from the migrant crisis from

Syria, but apart from this phenomenon, which helps the far

right Elektra lead, apart from that, we are not that much of a working

immigration country and noise the rest of Europe in fact. But what we

have is accumulated immigration during the past 40 years and people

make mistakes. They get confused between immigrants and being the son

or grandson of immigrants. I want to actually this is less about

immigration and more about feeling ostracised from the political

system, feeling like those in power just not looking after people

further down the chain? Definitely, but it can be combined. It

doesn't... It doesn't have to be this reason all the other one. If

you take Ukip, clearly, you have got something against the foreign world

and also something about wanting to vote against the system. They would

say they are not against the foreign world, they just want to change the

relationship with the UK. You have the anti-far right parties in Europe

who say they don't have problems with immigrants and foreigners. Not

a single far right party describes itself as the far right party. And

what about this exchange of views between the leader of the National

front and Karim Benzema, who said he was not picked for the French

football team because of racist reasons? It's another situation

during which you have a real problem in France, which is racism. It does

exist. We have the example over 60% of the French population think the

boot a relationship to the money, which is anti-Semitic. Today, for

example. On the other hand, when Karim Benzema says he is not a

football team because of racism, it's absurd. If you look at the

current soccer team, you have all skin colours. It's absurd to say

that. Thank you very much indeed. Karim Benzema is charged with

blackmailing another professional footballer. We have been talking

about security, protests, politics but did not spend that much time

talking about the football, so let's put that right. This tournament will

play out not just in Paris across the country. On the map, we have

marked the ten cities that will play host, from Marseille to the Lyon. I

have highlighted the Stade de France, where tomorrow's match will

take place. It's hugely symbolic the matches taking place there. Let's

look at the teams taking part. You would pick Belgium as the favourite.

Amazing players across the board. Many of them stars of the English

Premier League but that does not always hang together. There were

disappointments in the last World Cup and let's just say they are

picking up the Dutch mantra of not meeting expectations. A team that

does meet expectations as Germany, the current world champions. They

had a so-so qualifying months but nonetheless, they are Germany and

you would expect to see them at least in the semis in the final. A

couple of matches to pick out, France, Romania, lots of people

packing into the Stade de France, but another 90,000 will be below the

upper full tower to watch that one. And on Saturday night, a game many

will be particularly interested in, England against Russia. -- Eiffel

Tower. Interested to see quite what strikeforce Roy Hodgson picks. Let's

bring in,. You will commentate on lots of the games. Strange how

Belgium is ahead of everyone else in the rankings.

Fifa rankings are open to interpretation. But they won the

World Cup in 1998 and expect to deliver on himself. I remember

standing just where I was and looking up at the Arctic Triomphe I

sort Zidane's face. It was a wonderful place to be. What the

people of France want now is to buy into that feel-good factor once

again. One of our guests earlier... I can see you nodding in the

background. Why were you nodding? Will we see a repeat of what France

experienced in 1998? I have no idea but I was telling your football

expert that I had such fun in 1998. Even I watched the football! Even

me. We had such a big party and it was so unexpected. Apparently,

France itself did not believe it would win in 1998. It was

interesting to see that even in terms of communication, the way the

French communicated to the world, was new to me. They were saying, we

are welcoming the world. There were posters empower saying, be nice! It

has changed something in terms of welcoming the world. We are nearly

20 years later but it is not feel the same. I'm not saying the French

are not being nice again but we're not in the same mood. There was a

feeling in 1998 that there was turmoil but you look at them at the

moment and the issues the coach has the broken up with, national

security, accusations of racism, there is this bizarre sex tape

blackmail plot involving players, players who have missed out due to

drug issues, so it is been a very unsatisfactory build-up and yet he

is expected to win. And he has got a mouthwatering midfield. Let's talk

about the role changes. I am really interested in this, particularly

this changed the triple punishment? Traditionally you would get a red

card and a suspension and a penalty but not any more. In many ways, it

was the Royals were the rules. If you made this critical foul, then

you had to show the red card, despite any other side issues that

could be involved. They have weakened the severity of those

punishments. It is to keep 11 players on the pitch as long as

possible. That is what the global audience was the scene. On the eve

of this tournament, so many things going on in France, how do you feel

about your country? It's like waking up to have a party. It's like, by

the way, maybe we should have a party. It has not been quite a

wonderful party moment due to the strikes and everything, by the way,

there are the Euros and maybe we should have a party. I will let you

get on your way. Thank you very much for joining me have. Thank you for

your company and I will be back on BBC world News and BBC News Channel

tomorrow. I will leave you with the Eiffel Tower over
