Construction safety: Russia

Day -803. ‪‎WorldCup2018‬.

Real journalists don't write an award winning column everyday, do they? I haven't written one yet, but I think I can still give myself the odd slower day.

So here today is a story from Fifa on the topic of safe working conditions at the construction sites of the stadiums for Russia 2018. It was on Fifa's website yesterday, a day after Amnesty International released their damming report on the conditions of construction workers hired for Qatar 2022. It is Fifa's staged feel good story, with unfortunate timing. Or is it Fifa irony?
