The terror attacks which have hit France in the past 18 months should not weaken the country's bid to host the 2024 Olympics, President Francois Hollande has said.

President Hollande arrived in Rio de Janeiro on Thursday to promote France's bid ahead of the opening ceremony.

Several festivals have been cancelled in France this summer as they do not meet security standards.

On Friday, Lille said it was cancelling this year's Lille Braderie, a flea market which dates back to the 12th century, while in Paris an Afghan migrant was arrested on suspicion of plotting an attack on the capital.

More than 200 people have been killed in terror attacks in France since January 2015.
