Well, it's a year later than planned, but UEFA EURO 2020 is finally underway. The group stage has already given us some memorable moments: we saw Italy put three goals past Turkey in the tournament's opening match, we gasped when Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen collapsed while playing against Finland - our very best wishes to him - and naturally, we cheered on England as they started their campaign with a solid win over Croatia.

A high school in Southport, Merseyside received a hefty fine last month after a worker fell off a roof and sustained multiple fractures.
The incident in question occurred in 2018. According to shponline.co.uk, the man was getting some footballs down from the roof of the school's sixth form centre when he lost his footing and fell more than 3 metres before hitting the ground.
A HSE investigation found that there were no fall protection measures in place to prevent an incident like this. An edge protection system or anchor point could have kept the worker from falling off the roof, but no such precautions had been taken, and so the governing body of Christ the King Catholic High School and Sixth Form Centre were fined £10,000 and ordered to pay costs of £5,851.50.
Falls from height are among the most common causes of injury and death in the workplace. Employers must ensure that appropriate safety measures are in place before allowing staff to work at height.
