Police asked to treat Euro final as an election

Police asked to treat Euro final as an election
Jul 9 2021 Share

With the Euro 2020 final match between England and Italy coming up next Sunday, the police have been asked to be on standby as establishments welcome guests ready to enjoy the match. Times of Malta was informed by deputy president of the Chamber of SMEs Philip Fenech that around 25 bars have reported bookings pouring in for the match. Fenech pointed out how important crowd control is during such events as tensions are expected to soar over the competitive aspect of the much adored game. 

Fenech explained how he asked the police to treat Sunday as though it were an election, providing detailed reinforcement especially in areas prone to crowd gathering. As many will want to get out of home to enjoy the match with others, this would mean far more intermingling. Establishments have health measures in place, but reinforcement is still necessary to mitigate any incidents due to Malta’s COVID-19 epidemiological situation.

The least polluted coastal region in Europe was revealed to be Eastern Scotland with a score of 7.22, with the higher the number, the worse the air quality.

Airly claimed to use sensors to provide an accurate listing for governments, media and businesses to use and tackle the issue of air pollution ‘head on’.

Laser pointer incident during England's match against Denmark prompts UEFA investigation
Jul 8 2021 Share

England’s historic semi-final win over Denmark on Wednesday has sent social media users across the globe into a frenzy for all the wrong reasons. While England made history by securing a spot in the Euro 2020 final, it was a green laser pointer in Kasper Schmeichel’s face that is making the headlines, with UEFA launching an investigation on the matter.

Schmeichel had a laser shone on his face the moment Harry Kane stepped up for an extra-time penalty, which Schmeichel saved but Kane managed to secure the goal on the rebound.

The European Football governing body has opening disciplinary proceeding, charging England with the use of the “laser pointer by its supporters”, along with an investigation into the lighting of fireworks by fans during the national anthem.
