Paris Olympics Security Measures Spark Controversy

Residents required to register online and present QR codes, while motorists face heavy restrictions and metro ticket prices double.

Paris residents living near the Seine will need to register online to have friends over to watch the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games due to major security measures.
Motorists will be largely banned from areas near competition sites, and will need to obtain special authorisation to access these areas during live events.
Residents and business owners will have to present QR codes at designated security stops to prove they live and work in the area.
The cost of single metro tickets will double from €2.10 (£1.82) now to €4 (£3.50) between July 20 to Sept 8 next year.
The security measures have been met with criticism, with some likening the QR code requirement to ID papers imposed by Nazi occupiers in World War II.
