France ramps up security for Olympics' river spectacle

France will deploy 35,000 security agents and the military to secure the 2024 Olympic Games opening ceremony in Paris.
The security measures aim to protect against threats like drone strikes, cyberattacks, climate activists, and anti-government protesters.
Spectators must pre-register for tickets to specific areas along the river embankments, separated from paying guests in premium seats.
The opening ceremony will showcase Paris' iconic monuments and the River Seine, but the event's logistics and security demands risk major problems if mishandled.
With 35,000 police on duty, the Olympics security operation will dwarf Britain's huge effort for King Charles III's coronation.
