France 'tainted' by strikes and rubbish ahead of Euro 2016 kick-off

The mayor of Paris has promised to clear the capital's streets of rubbish after 12 days of strikes that left a smelly mess - and further clouded France's image as it hosts Euro 2016.

Unions remain determined to keep up strikes at the main Paris waste incineration plant, on commuter trains taking fans to the opening match, and on Air France flights starting on Saturday.
