France detains Russian fans as PM Valls vows expulsions (Reuters)

By Mathias Galante and Eric Gaillard NICE/PARIS (Reuters) - Prime Minister Manuel Valls said on Tuesday some football fans will be deported from France after violent clashes marred the start of the Euro 2016 soccer tournament, and a group of Russian fans was detained near Cannes on the French Riviera. There are fears the violence could spread at a time when French security forces are already stretched, as highlighted on Monday when a suspected Islamist attacker stabbed a French police commander and his partner to death at their home. "People will be deported after they have been sentenced as there are people who cannot remain because they are not wanted on our national territory due to their behavior," Valls told reporters.
