This week, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer revealed more details on his plans to make spiking a drink a specific criminal offence as part of the government’s crackdown on violence against women and girls. During a meeting with police bosses, transport figures and hospitality executives in Downing Street on Monday morning, the Prime Minister said he hoped the measures would give people “the confidence to come forward”. He laid out plans for venue staff to be trained in relation to spiking, with a pilot to begin within weeks before a wider rollout next year. The government announced that 10,000 workers in the hospitality industry will be trained to deal with incidents by next spring as part of an expansion of a scheme piloted from December, to be rolled out from March of next year. But venues in Liverpool could go even further, with one veteran of the city's pub and nightclub scene saying the hospitality sector should be aiming to train all staff in preventing and handling spiking incidents. John Hughes is chairman of Pub Watch and Liverpool Nightlife CIC and he works with nightclub and pub owners in the city centre. John insists that while Liverpool is a safe night out, there is still more that can be done to tackle spiking - and he believes Liverpool can go beyond current government plans. Speaking to the ECHO , John said: "Any sort of training in licenced premises, it's no good just a handful of people knowing what to do. We see the training side of it in Liverpool as one of the main things [to focus on] and we don't want to just train frontline staff - we want to share that knowledge with everyone. "It is difficult to train everyone because of the nature of the night time economy. For some people these jobs are a part-time thing. It's also very difficult to get your messages over to all the staff, because of the business that we are in, when you want to speak to people they are in bed because they're working until the early hours of the morning." But despite the challenges, John said he thinks Liverpool should be aiming to go beyond the training measures planned by the government. He said: "In Liverpool we want to go beyond what the government is recommending. I think they need to do more for our industry because we are on our knees and in April with the rising costs facing businesses it's only going to get worse. It's tough out there at the minute." Part of John's work with Pub Watch and Liverpool Nightlife CIC involves giving out testing kits to customers in clubs and bars, which enable drinkers to check if their beverages have any unwanted substances in them. John is also working on designing a safety app which he hopes will be rolled out across the city's bars and clubs to offer free training for all staff, along with safety checks for businesses. He said: "The great thing about Liverpool is we are all working together so well." John also highlighted the city's 'Purple Flag' status, which is has proudly held for 14 years. The Purple Flag rating is like the Blue Flag for beaches or Green Flag for parks – which aims to raise the standard and broaden the appeal of town and city centres in the evening and night time. Detailing the planned national training scheme, Sir Keir told the meeting it would be “partly to spot what’s happening, but also to know what to do in the event that there is an incident in a venue”. Labour says the proposals are part of the party’s promise to halve violence against women and girls in the next decade – although home secretary Yvette Cooper did admit the pledge is “ambitious” and that the government has not worked out how to measure their progress as she laid out a string of reforms to overhaul policing at an annual summit with police chiefs last Tuesday. Home secretary Yvette Cooper said: “Spiking is a disturbing and serious crime which can have a damaging and long-lasting impact on victims. “That’s why today we are taking decisive action to prevent this devastating crime and to crack down on perpetrators, by introducing a new criminal offence for spiking and launching specialist training for thousands of bar staff nationwide. “People shouldn’t have to worry about the safety of their drinks on a night out. These changes are about giving victims greater confidence to come forward, and ensuring that there is a robust response from the police whenever these appalling crimes take place.”

Abdus-Salaam scored on a 22-yard run for a 23-8 lead in the third quarter and he celebrated by jumping into a snowbank bordering the end zone. The Broncos (6-6, 5-3 Mid-American Conference) blocked a punt for safety that started a run of 16 points in under four minutes. Abdus-Salaam scored on a 31-yard screen pass then Joey Pope recovered a fumble on the ensuing kickoff to set up Jalen Buckley's 15-yard TD run with 19 seconds before the half ended. Eastern Michigan's Delmert Mimms II scored two third-quarter touchdowns. The teams exchanged field goals for the only fourth-quarter scoring. The Eagles got the ball back with 2:18 remaining but on their first play Bilhal Kone intercepted a tipped pass. Eastern Michigan (5-7, 2-6) lost its last five games. Abdus-Salaam rushed for 135 yards and Buckley 103 on 19 carries apiece. Hayden Wolff threw for 126 yards and a score. Abdus-Salaam had 40 yards receiving. Mimms rushed for 127 yards on 18 carries.

It turned out to be riddled with errors.By KAREEM CHEHAYEB BEIRUT (AP) — In 2006, after a bruising monthlong war between Israel and Lebanon’s powerful Hezbollah militant group, the United Nations Security Council unanimously voted for a resolution to end the conflict and pave the way for lasting security along the border. But while there was relative calm for nearly two decades, Resolution 1701’s terms were never fully enforced. Now, figuring out how to finally enforce it is key to a U.S.-brokered ceasefire deal approved by Israel on Tuesday. In late September, after nearly a year of low-level clashes , the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah spiraled into all-out war and an Israeli ground invasion . As Israeli jets pound deep inside Lebanon and Hezbollah fires rockets deeper into northern Israel, U.N. and diplomatic officials again turned to the 2006 resolution in a bid to end the conflict. Years of deeply divided politics and regionwide geopolitical hostilities have halted substantial progress on its implementation, yet the international community believes Resolution 1701 is still the brightest prospect for long-term stability between Israel and Lebanon. Almost two decades after the last war between Israel and Hezbollah, the United States led shuttle diplomacy efforts between Lebanon and Israel to agree on a ceasefire proposal that renewed commitment to the resolution, this time with an implementation plan to try to bring the document back to life. In 2000, Israel withdrew its forces from most of southern Lebanon along a U.N.-demarcated “Blue Line” that separated the two countries and the Israeli-annexed Golan Heights, which most of the world considers occupied Syrian territory. U.N. peacekeeping forces in Lebanon, known as UNIFIL , increased their presence along the line of withdrawal. Resolution 1701 was supposed to complete Israel’s withdrawal from southern Lebanon and ensure Hezbollah would move north of the Litani River, keeping the area exclusively under the Lebanese military and U.N. peacekeepers. Up to 15,000 U.N. peacekeepers would help to maintain calm, return displaced Lebanese and secure the area alongside the Lebanese military. The goal was long-term security, with land borders eventually demarcated to resolve territorial disputes. The resolution also reaffirmed previous ones that call for the disarmament of all armed groups in Lebanon — Hezbollah among them. “It was made for a certain situation and context,” Elias Hanna, a retired Lebanese army general, told The Associated Press. “But as time goes on, the essence of the resolution begins to hollow.” For years, Lebanon and Israel blamed each other for countless violations along the tense frontier. Israel said Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force and growing arsenal remained, and accused the group of using a local environmental organization to spy on troops. Lebanon complained about Israeli military jets and naval ships entering Lebanese territory even when there was no active conflict. “You had a role of the UNIFIL that slowly eroded like any other peacekeeping with time that has no clear mandate,” said Joseph Bahout, the director of the Issam Fares Institute for Public Policy at the American University of Beirut. “They don’t have permission to inspect the area without coordinating with the Lebanese army.” UNIFIL for years has urged Israel to withdraw from some territory north of the frontier, but to no avail. In the ongoing war, the peacekeeping mission has accused Israel, as well as Hezbollah , of obstructing and harming its forces and infrastructure. Hezbollah’s power, meanwhile, has grown, both in its arsenal and as a political influence in the Lebanese state. The Iran-backed group was essential in keeping Syrian President Bashar Assad in power when armed opposition groups tried to topple him, and it supports Iran-backed groups in Iraq and Yemen. It has an estimated 150,000 rockets and missiles, including precision-guided missiles pointed at Israel, and has introduced drones into its arsenal . Hanna says Hezbollah “is something never seen before as a non-state actor” with political and military influence. Israel’s security Cabinet approved the ceasefire agreement late Tuesday, according to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office. The ceasefire is set to take hold at 4 a.m. local time Wednesday. Efforts led by the U.S. and France for the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah underscored that they still view the resolution as key. For almost a year, Washington has promoted various versions of a deal that would gradually lead to its full implementation. International mediators hope that by boosting financial support for the Lebanese army — which was not a party in the Israel-Hezbollah war — Lebanon can deploy some 6,000 additional troops south of the Litani River to help enforce the resolution. Under the deal, an international monitoring committee headed by the United States would oversee implementation to ensure that Hezbollah and Israel’s withdrawals take place. It is not entirely clear how the committee would work or how potential violations would be reported and dealt with. The circumstances now are far more complicated than in 2006. Some are still skeptical of the resolution’s viability given that the political realities and balance of power both regionally and within Lebanon have dramatically changed since then. “You’re tying 1701 with a hundred things,” Bahout said. “A resolution is the reflection of a balance of power and political context.” Now with the ceasefire in place, the hope is that Israel and Lebanon can begin negotiations to demarcate their land border and settle disputes over several points along the Blue Line for long-term security after decades of conflict and tension.

Standing around 40ft from the hole on the 17th at Yas Links, Waring sunk an incredible put to claim a birdie and ultimately the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship. Suddenly, the 40-year-old had the biggest win of his career which saw him pocketing over $1.5m, securing a PGA Tour card and in contention for a place in next year's Ryder Cup team. A week later Waring tied for 16th place at the season-closing DP Tour World Championship after holding a share of the lead at one point during the weekend but his hot streak had moved him from 229th in the world rankings to 101st and he was named as part of Luke Donald's Great Britain and Ireland team that will take on Continental Europe early in 2025. "It's amazing what can happen and the last couple of weeks have been life changing to say the least," said Waring. "But this sport is like that - my coach said an amazing thing that it's '20 years of work to be an overnight success' which kind of sums it up really." Waring enjoyed a sparkling amateur career including winning the 2005 English Amateur Championship and captaining his nation in the Home Internationals but his 2018 title at the Nordea Masters had been his only win on the European Tour since qualifying in 2007. (Image: PA) "You very rarely get to see what happens behind the scenes," said Waring. "Yes, I won in 2018 but even in 2021 I finished second once by a shot and I've got within five shots of winning a couple of times. I was 66th in the world at one point and I was 22nd in the Race to Dubai in 2019 so I've had some definite highs but I've also had some lows with injuries. "Given all that what's happened over the last few weeks has been the absolute highlight of everything I've achieved so far." Despite the obvious financial advantages of his recent form it's the chance to test himself against the world best golfers in the US which really seems to be the pinnacle of his latest successes. "I've got full rights to play on the US PGA Tour now and to put it crudely I can earn more money but also win World Ranking points and that's how you get to play in the Majors," said Waring. "By finishing in the top 25 of the DP World Tour that automatically gets me into The Open and being in the top 100 in the world will get me into the US PGA. It's hard at the moment with the way the rankings work to get points when you play outside of the US and if you want to go and play those big tournaments the only way in is by playing in America and doing well. "You're playing against the arguably the best players in the world and that's where you want to be. You want to test yourself against the best and see where you're game is. I'm sure I'll learn a lot about myself." (Image: PA) Waring credits a lot of his success this season with making a move from England to Dubai last year. He said: "It helped me a lot, especially with travelling to Asia. From October though to May I was travelling though Dubai airport six or seven times anyway! "I've got a lot of friends out there now - I'm a really social person - and I'm playing on greens that are similar to those in tournament golf. I spent a bit of time in Tenerife in the winter trying to get myself ready for the start of the season but there's nothing quite like playing on the same surfaces that you're actually going to play on so it was a bit of a no-brainer for me to move here." Closer to home, Waring credits his beloved Wirral for fostering a love of golf in his childhood. helped by the fact he came from a sporting family - his mother Gill swam for England and his cousin Matthew Smith is a former professional tennis player. "I remember watching golf on TV and one of my earliest memories is watching Ian Woosnam win the Masters in 1991," he said. "I said to my grandad that I wanted to have a go and he took me up to Arrowe Park and that's where I hit my first golf shots. From there I joined Brackenwood Golf Club and it's such a sad story about what's happened there over the last few years. I'm actually president of the club there now and we're still battling away to get it reopen. "It's bigger than just a golf club, it's about the whole community around it and hopefully we can do something about it. "I joined Bromborough Golf Club when I was about 12 and that's where I met Alex Evans who is now my caddy. We've been best mates since a young age and now we get to travel the world together. "You've only got to see some of the golfers who come out of the Wirral to realise what a good place it is to start," Waring continued. "Mark Roe was from there back in the day and then you've got Matthew Jordan and a really hot prospect in Matthew Dodd-Berry. "The quality of courses on the Wirral and then up the coast with Birkdale and Hillside means it's a bit of a golden area and you can see that with the quality of the professionals we've produced." Despite now living in the Middle East, Waring still has lots of family on the peninsula and relishes coming back especially if it involves his beloved Liverpool Football Club. "My family are still there and I've got a really good group of mates in Wirral," he said. "I've always been a big Red and the first football game I went to was at Anfield although a lot of my friends support Tranmere Rovers and I did go Prenton Park and I always check to see how they're getting on." Come on GB&I 💪💪💪💪 pic.twitter.com/xYbZww0xlD The next exciting career landmark for Waring is his inclusion in the Great Britain and Ireland team which the golfer is hoping could lead on to even more honours. "One of the biggest dreams and aspirations of every golfer is to play in the Ryder Cup," he added. "There's something about team golf and representing a nation no matter who it is. I represented England Golf and was always very proud to play for my country and the fact I've been given the chance again against Continental Europe is nice and then there's the thing it could lead to and that's the Ryder Cup and the chance to play alongside those big players and that is a goal for me. "I know it's going to take a lot and I'm going to have play myself in and get a wildcard and I'm going to have to play some great golf to get in but that's all part of the battle and hopefully I can learn what I need to learn in January from some of the more experienced lads in these situations and build my season around that."
