Security has been ramped up in parts of Europe after a suspected terror attack in Belgium.

Two Swedish football fans were shot dead near the stadium hosting a Euro 2024 qualifying match.

The Tunisian man who claimed responsibility has been killed by authorities in a Brussels Cafe.

He'd identified himself as a member of the Islamic State.

Europe correspondent Gavin Grey told Kate Hawkesby that those hosting games are staying on high alert.

He says security has been tightened for the England-Italy game at London's Wembley Stadium, as well as the upcoming France and Scotland match in Lille.
