The Eurovision Song Contest starts in Basel next week - and security is already being ramped up.
The Federal Customs and Border Security Office says there’ll be increased checks at the border and later today, the Basel government will unveil its security arrangement, which its describing as ‘pioneering’.
The main focus will on the Israeli contingent. There’s already been anti-Israel graffiti appearing in the city.
The Israel singer, Yuval Raphael, is travelling to Basel with her own security team.
Swiss security experts have told the press that their attention is on the ‘lone-wolf’ threat. Someone acting alone without any outside organisational help.
