Gareth Southgate believes England will be in a stronger position to win the European Championships following its delay by a year due to coronavirus .
The Three Lions were set to get their Euro 2020 campaign under way next week with a mouth-watering clash against recent rivals Croatia .

In addition to Kane and Rashford , Southgate will also be hoping to see improvements from the likes of Jadon Sancho , while keeping a watchful eye over the talents of Jack Grealish and Phil Foden - who is set to be handed his chance at Man City next season .

That was until the coronavirus pandemic forced UEFA to suspend the event until 2021, though Southgate feels the delay is a positive for England.

"We have got certain positions where we are strong and certain positions where we don't have that strength in depth.

Chartered surveyors Rebecca and Sam Harper say their new life in the woods has opened their eyes to what they've been missing in the hustle and bustle of London life
A high-flying London couple have spent lockdown living in a tree house in the Somerset countryside - and say they're happier than ever.
Rebecca Harper, 31, and Sam Harper, 32, from Fulham, escaped to the woodland tree house in the grounds of Sam's dad's and step-mum's house in East Harptree in mid-March, just over a week before lockdown was announced.
The couple, who have lived in the capital for a decade and work as chartered surveyors, initially planned to stay at the tree house for a couple of weeks but are still there over three months later after lockdown lasted longer than they expected.
And they admit friends have been astounded by their sudden change of lifestyle, with Rebecca, who now passes the days tending to their vegetable patch, confessing she struggled to keep a houseplant alive back in London.

"I wake up to natural light and spend my days tending to the vegetable patch then fill any spare time doing watercolour paintings and calligraphy.

thedailymirror--2020-06-10--Coronavirus riots like 2011 London disorder could erupt, SAGE expert warns

Riots could break out across the UK this summer as the effects of the coronavirus pandemic take hold , a scientific adviser to the Government has warned .
Professor Clifford Stott said there is a risk of disorder on a scale last seen during the London riots in August 2011 sparked by the police shooting of Mark Duggan .
He said urgent efforts must be made by police forces to quell any potential unrest in the neighbourhoods they serve .
The member of the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies ( SAGE ) sub-committee on behaviour said mass job losses and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ well as concerns about racial and economic inequality , may all be factors which could fuel `` confrontations '' in the coming months .
A possible divide between poorer and more affluent areas brought on by local lockdowns - if brought into force - could also have an effect , the professor of social psychology at Keele University , who has advised the Home Office on public order strategy , warned .
Speaking in a personal capacity during an interview with the PA news agency , he said : `` If the police @ @ @ @ @ @ @ relations now , there is a potential for serious and large public disorder to emerge this summer .
`` I think in the worst case scenario it 's not inconceivable that we could have disorder on a scale equivalent to August 2011 .
`` What we need to do is to make sure we start addressing the underlying causes now , so that the conditions that led to the 2011 riots are not in place should we get a precipitating incident .
`` Put simply , the most effective thing that the police @ @ @ @ @ @ @ beat . ''
Circumstances in the UK will change `` quite considerably '' in the coming months as a result of the coronavirus pandemic , Prof Stott said , adding : `` There are important issues about inequality that could , if not dealt with properly , feed into a situation in the future over the summer months where confrontations develop . ''
Localised lockdowns could become `` very , very problematic '' for police officers if the rules mean people living in poorer areas are more likely to face tougher restrictions than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Enforcement generally has become `` pretty impossible now to a large extent '' as lockdown measures are eased , apart from for large-scale public gatherings , the professor said .
The danger , he warned , is some of the gatherings are `` probably very likely '' to be groups of young men on working class estates which could then attract more police attention , adding : `` I think that could create a circumstance when lots of young men feel it 's unfair about what 's happening to them .
`` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that unfairness , it could create a breakdown in social cohesion , lead to a sense of unfairness in policing .
`` We know that those factors are often drivers for social conflict . ''
Growing concerns about the `` disproportionate '' use of Tasers against black people and those with mental health problems raised by the police watchdog last month as it investigated a series of incidents could also run the risk of becoming a trigger for unrest , Prof Stott said .
A rise in Covid-19 transmission rates forcing the country @ @ @ @ @ @ @ `` significantly economically disadvantaged '' could also `` increase dissent about the conditions of people 's lives '' , he added .
Asked whether the allegations over the Prime Minister 's chief adviser Dominic Cummings breaching lockdown could contribute to unrest , Prof Stott said : `` We are at a really , really pivotal time and the loss of trust and confidence that has been brought about by the Cummings affair has not assisted in maintaining that adherence , I think that 's quite clear . ''
Essex Chief Constable Ben-Julian Harrington @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' Council 's work on public order and safety , said : `` Police work within communities to tackle crime and solve problems - informed by conversations and active engagement .
`` Where there are tensions , we work with communities to address concerns and respond sensitively .
This will continue as restrictions continue to ease over the course of the summer .
`` We are also well prepared to respond to any rises in crime or disorder . ''

thedailymirror--2020-06-09--Radical idea to give every British adult £2,500 a year - at a price

Every British adult should be handed £2,500 a year in a radical overhaul of the tax and benefit a system , a report says today .
The plan would replace the current personal allowance and help to form a “ a modern safety net for all ” , according to a report by the RSA think tank .
It could rise to a £5,000 universal basic income combined with other benefits , the study says , The idea is among a series of recommendations from the report , A Blueprint for Good Work , by the RSA Future Work Centre @ @ @ @ @ @ @ braced for a devastating recession triggered by the coronavirus pandemic .
Others include replacing JobCentres with Swedish-style “ job security councils ” to help workers in troubled sectors like retail , where roles risk being taken over by computers or robots .
It also calls for employees in major firms to have stronger voices over new technology and restructuring , through “ democratic works councils ” , as happens in Germany .
Sick pay , holiday entitlement and pensions should be available to gig economy workers through a “ portable benefits ” system @ @ @ @ @ @ @ contracted workers , the study adds .
Future Work Centre head Alan Lockey said : `` Tackling economic insecurity is essential to securing Britain ’ s recovery .
“ That means getting cash to people now by turning the personal allowance into a universal cash payment , targeted help for the most troubled sectors , giving workers a greater say over new tech , stronger unions , and a new welfare settlement for gig economy workers .
“ The conversation about how we build a better future beyond the pandemic must begin now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will end in October .
“ The crisis can lead to positive change , but we need to be bold.
” The report also calls for government , opposition parties , employers and unions , to forge a new “ social contract ” .
Shadow Cabinet Office Minister Rachel Reeves said : `` Now , more than ever , we need a vision for a new social contract , built around social justice , good work , and security for all .
“ We can not go back to a world where so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ badly under-appreciated and undervalued – that is why this report and the ideas in it are so important .
“ I hope it will play a key role in the debate about the society we want to build after the pandemic . ''

The respected Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce suggests the cash payment - but it would replace the current personal allowance in Income Tax
Every British adult should be handed £2,500 a year in a radical overhaul of the tax and benefit a system, a report says today.
The plan would replace the current personal allowance and help to form a “a modern safety net for all”, according to a report by the RSA think tank.
It could rise to a £5,000 universal basic income combined with other benefits, the study says,
The idea is among a series of recommendations from the report, A Blueprint for Good Work, by the RSA Future Work Centre – and comes as the economy is braced for a devastating recession triggered by the coronavirus pandemic.

It also calls for employees in major firms to have stronger voices over new technology and restructuring, through “democratic works councils”, as happens in Germany.
Sick pay, holiday entitlement and pensions should be available to gig economy workers through a “portable benefits” system so they have the same access as contracted workers, the study adds.

“That means getting cash to people now by turning the personal allowance into a universal cash payment, targeted help for the most troubled sectors, giving workers a greater say over new tech, stronger unions, and a new welfare settlement for gig economy workers.
“The conversation about how we build a better future beyond the pandemic must begin now – we already know the furlough scheme will end in October.
“The crisis can lead to positive change, but we need to be bold.”
The report also calls for government, opposition parties, employers and unions, to forge a new “social contract”.
