Authorities trying to ensure safety at Euro 2016

Authorities in France say they're doing all they can to ensure there are no terrorist attacks during this Summer's Euros.

The competition gets underway this week and President Francois Hollande has admitted today that an attack is a possibility.

It comes as Ukraine's security chief says they've foiled 15 planned terrorist attacks on the soccer tournament.

A French national has been arrested in the country and he's accused of making contact with illegal Ukrainian groups to buy guns and explosives.
