PARIS/MARSEILLE (Reuters) - Police intervened to halt skirmishes involving British soccer fans and locals in the port city of Marseille overnight, just hours before the Euro 2016 championship opens in France. A police official said that two British fans were injured and four police officers slightly hurt in a string of incidents in the southern French city, one of several locations that will be hosting the month-long tournament. Paris, in contrast, hosted a massive music concert near the Eiffel Tower where tens of thousands of revelers danced late into the night, with no immediate reports of major trouble.
