[Quest:] Euro 2016 and the Olympics. A new study from Oxford University says this summer's Rio games are running vastly over-budget. Costs are expected to reach $4.6 billion, that's an overrun cost of $1.6 billion. If you remember when they got the Olympic games, they had an extremely low budgetary level. So it's 51 percent over budget. But its overall cost is still cheaper than the recent games. London actually went even more over- budget, London games 76 percent, because of the extra security costs ramped up at the last moment. London was 67 percent. Rio is only 51 percent. The protests against spending in Rio have continued on Wednesday. Public sector workers were out on the street, saying they're unhappy that the money is being spent on Olympics rather than schools and healthcare. Remember, the Olympics are just weeks away until the opening ceremony. And security is one of Rio's main concerns. Brazilian authorities, which have given more money, by the way, the federal government has given more money to the municipality of Rio only in the last couple of weeks because Rio itself is just about broke, are preparing for the possibility of a terror attack during the games. CNN's Nick Paton Walsh is in Rio.
[Nick Paton Walsh, Senior International Correspondent:] Rio dealing with the unthinkable. A terror attack on the subway. Brazilian special forces move in. The gunman taken down. This drill bolstered by training from French SWAT team specialists. And a little drama. [on camera]: They're hoping this won't happen but preparing in case it does. The threat against the Brazilian Olympics always hanging somewhat in the background. On display to the media to show that a country with virtually no history of dealing with terrorism is vigilant enough to hold a safe games.
[Lt. Gen. Luiz Linhares, Brazilian Ministry Of Defense:] There is not a specific threat. And you have to prepare for a great spectrum of threats.
[Paton:] are you screening the names of people who bought tickets?
[Linhares:] Always. Not just us. We have relations with the other countries. They're helping us about this. They are screening the names. They're screening the people who are visiting us.
[Walsh:] this is the contradiction here in Rio. With just weekends to go until South America's first Olympics, one western counterterrorism official told us that yes, the games are a target because they're a huge international sporting event. And ISIS do have foreign fighters still on the loose. But at the same time also maybe they're not. Brazil lacks of extremists networks that terrorists rely upon to launch such an attack. There has been one odd threat, however. One French ISIS fighter tweeting after the Paris attacks that Brazil was next. Several ISIS fighters seen in their propaganda speak Portuguese and they've launched an internet program speaking that language spoken in Brazil. Brazil's intelligence agency said in April that the threat and the number of Brazilians influenced by ISIS ideology had increased in recent months, whilst also insisting the games were not threatened. A country struggling with a difficult balance between vigilance and a warm welcome, headed into the unknown. Nick Paton Walsh, CNN, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
[Quest:] Keep an eye on this group of people. This is one of the fan zones, as the extra time is ticking away in Marseille. France appears about to defeat Germany to advance to the Euro 2016 finals. Germany has dominated much of the first half until their captain was booked for a handball in the 45th minute. I'll get out of the way so you can enjoy this. It's going to be any second now. This match is over. According to the clock we weren't quite expecting to see that. It looks like it's over. Everyone gets over excited. That is the wimpiest celebration that I have seen. Oh, maybe that's a bit better, they're getting more excited now in Paris. They certainly don't look jubilant beyond belief that they've just got through to the finals. Amanda Davies, I couldn't even tell when the match had finished, looking at those fans. You know how normally there's kissing, cheering, people start doing silly things with their clothes off. There was none of that in these pictures. What's going on?
[Amanda Davies, Cnn World Sport:] Richard, I think that might well be, because it's been so loud, that perhaps nobody could tell that the final whistle had actually blown. It's looked for the last 20 minutes or so that France would be going through to the final. I know you love a party. You might want to make a quick pop over here to Paris this evening, because you can probably hear the sirens behind me, the people will start piling out of the bars and the restaurants, and this is where the party moves from, from the fan zones it comes here. If Sunday's victory over Italy was anything to go by, anyway. So France coach, Didier Deschamps, has called on side there to write their owned chapter of history when they were taking on Germany this evening. He was part of the last French team to win a European championship in 2000. He's now the coach. It looks like the party is about to start as they put their place in Sunday's final against Portugal.
[Quest:] We could hear you beautiful. Thank you, Amanda Davis, who is in Paris. They must be why we couldn't see the fans getting themselves all beside themselves. A profitable moment after the break. Good evening to you.
