Captain Virgil van Dijk insists Liverpool will strive for further improvement
Captain Virgil van Dijk insists Liverpool will strive for further improvementBy Carl Markham, PALiverpool captain Virgil van Dijk insists there is still room for improvement despite a near-perfect start to the season. But while Liverpool may have exceeded expectations in what was anticipated to be a year of consolidation and readjusting under new head coach Arne Slot following the departure of Jurgen Klopp, Van Dijk said the standards they set themselves meant everyone at the club wanted more. “That is all about working each day and getting better and working on things that we have to improve because there are still so many things to improve. Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has won 14 of his first 16 matches in charge. Cody was amazing again, Mo was outstanding, so good,” said Van Dijk.

What issues are likely to dominate the Irish general election?
The most contentious issue for the coalition Government will be Ireland’s housing crisis, which has rumbled on since the recession when investment in public services was slashed. The Government’s Housing for All plan, which sets out an aim to build an average of 33,000 homes a year until 2030, has been criticised as not ambitious enough and that the share of public housing is too small. Ahead of the 2020 general election, the Government’s official homelessness tally surpassed 10,000 people for the first time – now, 14,760 people are homeless. Childcare is another possible battleground, with almost all political parties announcing policies in recent weeks on how to make it more affordable and accessible. The difficulty in securing school places for children with disabilities has also become a prominent political issue in recent weeks.

Police chief warns of growing people smuggling threat as Channel crossings rise
Some 3,222 potential victims of human trafficking were rescued and 17,793 irregular migrants also identified as part of raids carried out at the end of September and beginning of October. “It’s not going to happen overnight, but it’s going to continue to be a massive coordinated effort by many partners”. It’s a growing issue.”The problem is “more than any one country”, he said as he told how the operation shone the “spotlight on the threat that human trafficking presents to the globe”. This led to three suspects being arrested after the National Crime Agency (NCA) found them living in the UK. In many of these cases victims were being “lured with false promises of employment and are kept there through intimidation and abuse”.
