Security Concerns and National Pride Amidst Olympic Preparations

As Paris prepares for the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games, arsonists have targeted France's high-speed rail network causing travel chaos.

The French government has mobilised its intelligence and security services in response to the "malicious acts", but questions are being raised over the preparedness for the games, and if a heavy security presence could impact the experience of the 11 million visitors expected over the next fortnight.  

On the Sky News Daily, host Niall Paterson is joined by our Europe correspondent, Adam Parsons, and Steve Park, an international security analyst who worked on security at the London 2012 Olympics, to assess the French response to the security threat.
