Mexico ramps up security as the FIFA World Cup spotlight approaches

Mexico is deploying nearly 100,000 security personnel — police, army and private security — across its three World Cup host cities: Mexico City, Monterrey and Guadalajara. Concentric security rings will surround hotels, airports and stadiums, backed by aerial surveillance and, in Monterrey, face-scanning robot dogs. Analysts note that cartel groups are unlikely to disrupt the tournament, as doing so would invite intensified law enforcement pressure. Protest movements, including striking teachers, may pose a greater challenge to authorities. Al Jazeera's John Holman reports from Monterrey, Mexico. Subscribe to our channel: bit.ly
