Liverpool News - Virgil van Dijk returns to Liverpool training after illness - Duration: 5:10.

Virgil van Dijk is set to retain his place at the heart of Liverpool's defence as Jurgen Klopp gave an upbeat assessment of his fitness

The Holland international has been the outstanding performer in the Premier League this season and has only missed 35 minutes of Liverpool's title challenge, when he damaged his ribs during a 3-0 win over Southampton on September 22

There were concerns, though, that Van Dijk would miss the Anfield clash with Leicester City having been struggling with illness since Liverpool returned from a warm weather training break in Dubai — given the amount of injuries Klopp is juggling, it would have presented a huge blow

  Van Dijk's importance can also be gauged by the fact the two games for which he has not been selected in this campaign – Chelsea at home in the Carabao Cup, Wolves away in the FA Cup – have ended with Liverpool losing

Klopp, though, was positive about Van Dijk when he delivered a medical bulletin. The 27-year-old trained on his own at Melwood on Monday and is expected to join the squad this evening for their final session

Provided he comes through that without issue, he will be in line to start.Just as encouraging for Klopp was the fact that Gini Wijnaldum, who had a slight knee injury, and Fabinho – who damaged his hamstring against Crystal Palace on January 19 – are also expected to be in contention for the squad

'Virgil was a little ill but he trained yesterday, so we will see,' said Klopp. 'He will train today, so we will see

Gini trained, Fabinho will train today, Trent is getting closer and closer and it looks all very positive, but he will not be ready for tomorrow

Joe (Gomez) is a no.'Liverpool play after Manchester City for the first time since December 15 – seven matches ago – when they tackle Leicester but Klopp does not think there is a disadvantage for his team to go second

He expects Pep Guardiola's side, who face Newcastle at St James' Park on Tuesday, to win every game they have remaining and believes his own players should have the target of doing exactly the same if they want to become champions

'For me, (it makes) no difference,' said Klopp. 'If we win the game, we are not interested in other results

How can we change the approach? I said it a few times, I expect City to win every game

It makes sense that you think like this.'I expect City to beat Newcastle, but I will still watch it because we play Newcastle as well

I can only speak for myself, but I don't sit in front of the TV and think (damn) when they score or whatever

I really believe that you have to do your own work, your own job if you want to have something

'Don't be concentrated on other teams, it doesn't help. I expect to be one point up before the game tomorrow, and that doesn't bother me

'Of the benefits of Liverpool's trip to Dubai, Klopp said: 'First of all I'm really proud of the boys that we were able to do that in 2019! There was really nothing out there on social media? One little session, with Ox

'It was good that we could do that. But usually we would say now that we didn't have games, and having one game in that time would have been good even if it would have been difficult line-up wise

A few players couldn't be part of training until two days ago. So it was not perfect

'It was good that we didn't have to play, because that would have not been possible for a few players

Now we had a few days, but Leicester had exactly the same situation, so there's not a massive advantage

They could bring back Maguire after an injury in the last game, they could wait for one or two players

We have to see if they are really available for tomorrow.'

US NEWS | A First in Over a Century Only One State Has a Split Legislature The New York Times - Duration: 7:07.

US NEWS | A First in Over a Century Only One State Has a Split Legislature The New York Times

ST. PAUL — Days after nearly dying during cancer treatments, Hunter Cantrell, a 23 year old university student, made what seemed a quixotic decision: He would run for the Minnesota House of Representatives to plead for affordable health care for all.

To the shock of nearly everyone, Mr. Cantrell flipped a Republican held seat in the suburbs of the Twin Cities, and this month, he became one of nearly 1,700 candidates who took the seat of an incumbent in state legislatures across the nation.

The vast majority of the newcomers are Democrats, and as legislatures started new sessions this month, they were already shifting the debate in a number of states to liberal pledges made during their campaigns, including lowering health care costs, promoting gun control, and expanding access to college.

Republicans continue to hold majorities in most of the nations state capitals, as they have in recent years, but Democrats now control six new legislative chambers, including the Minnesota House of Representatives. Along the way, though, Minnesota — where Republicans hold a narrow majority in the Senate — became the only remaining state in the nation where control of a legislature is divided.

Even in an era of single party dominance in state legislatures, it is a stunning notion: It is the first time in more than a century that only one state has split control of its legislative chambers, and is one more indication of the depth of the nations bifurcated political sensibilities.

Minnesota may be the only place where lawmakers like Mr. Cantrell will be forced in the coming months to hash through both liberal and conservative political proposals to reach compromises. The state has become the lone state laboratory for testing whether bipartisanship — which has failed spectacularly on the federal level — can work in this moment.

Minnesota is a results oriented place, so the advantage will go to the party that is the opposite of Washington, D.C., said Pat Garofalo, a Republican and a representative in the State House. But if the Democrats propose crazy left ideas, with a split government, they wont become law.

To be sure, a mix of governors — including Democrats elected in Kansas, Michigan and Wisconsin, where Republicans control state legislatures — will add checks on some of the state capitals otherwise controlled by single parties. At least 12 states have governors of a different party than their single party legislatures. And a has created uncertainty in the Alaska Legislature, even as Republicans hold a numeric advantage.

But in the first weeks of the years new lawmaking sessions, some legislatures were already racing toward opposite visions, as those controlled solely by Democrats were busy pushing liberal measures and those ruled by Republicans were advocating conservative agendas.

In the opening days, Democrats who have vaulted to positions of full control in their legislatures Colorado, New Hampshire and New York , achieved parity Minnesota , or solidified their power California, Nevada and New Mexico, among others have wasted little time.

In New Hampshire, one of 18 state legislatures controlled by Democrats after both of its legislative chambers flipped in 2018, lawmakers have already in the House chamber over the objections of Republicans, and have voted to require every lawmaker to undergo sexual harassment awareness training. Up next, the Democrats say: a family medical leave bill.

In New York, where Democrats won full control of the Legislature, lawmakers have approved access to state financial aid and scholarships and another that expands protections for the states abortion laws.

In Colorado, where Democrats took the and already controlled the House, lawmakers have introduced bills to expand access to affordable health care, allow the importation of prescription drugs from Canada, and give 100 teachers as much as dollar 5,000 a year each to help pay off college loans.

And Democrats who now control the say they are seeking several measures that had been blocked or slowed by Paul LePage, the former Republican governor. Among them are Medicaid expansion and food stamps for asylum seekers.

In the 31 states that have Republican legislative control as well as Nebraska, whose single chamber legislature is officially nonpartisan but leans conservative , lawmakers were also pressing their advantage.

In Ohio, the Legislature is poised to once a fetuss heartbeat is detected, which could be as early as six weeks into a pregnancy. In Missouri, Republicans are considering a so called right to work law, even though voters rejected the idea last year. And Alabama Republicans are contemplating building more prisons.

We are in a time when there is a lot of division in our politics, and the divisions are along social, economic and geographic lines, said William T. Pound, executive director of the, a group that serves members of legislatures.

States in 2018 elected a historically diverse group of candidates, with more women than ever before seated in state legislatures — about 28 percent of the total. Women now in Nevadas Legislature and in Colorados House.

In all, 27 percent of members of state legislatures lower chambers and 32 percent of upper chambers defeated incumbents to win seats in November, according to an analysis by the , a nonprofit organization that provides policy guidance to governments.

In Minnesota, the only state with a divided legislature, the risk to each side is clear: If either party presses bills that stray too far from the center, they could fail to pass their agenda. But if lawmakers scale back their proposals, they might be seen as failing to deliver on campaign promises. And if Democrats, who control the Minnesota governors office as well as the House, try to force through liberal policies, they could be seen as overreaching in a state that is not wedded to either party.

Democrats, however, say they intend to be assertive.

We need to demonstrate that we are ready to take action to improve peoples lives and not be overly cautious, said Representative Ryan Winkler, the Democratic House majority leader.

Among the Democrats plans were measures for paid family leave, a public option health care plan, more early childhood education and gun control limits requiring background checks and red flag laws to temporarily take guns away in some cases; Republicans, who hold a two seat advantage in the Senate, have promised to block gun limits.

Mr. Winkler said that would provoke more anger, particularly among female voters in the suburbs, where Democrats flipped seats. There is now a political downside to not doing gun safety legislation, Mr. Winkler said. Suburban Republicans have to wonder how theyre going to survive if they are not going to cooperate with us.

But Mr. Garofalo, the Republican House member, said backlash against President Trump had caused the defections in the suburbs, and warned that a liberal agenda would send suburban women fleeing back to Republicans.

I dont think the Democrats will go what I would call the Bernie Sanders route, or it will be easier for us to take back the majority, he said.

Mr. Cantrell, the new Democratic State House member, sounded more concerned with delivering on promises he had made as he told his own health care story along the campaign trail in the suburbs around the Twin Cities, where many of the people he talked to said they had voted Republican in the past. A 10 day stay in the hospital had cost dollar 100,000. He was only able to afford it because he was covered by his mothers health care plan, he said.

He has called for an expansion to the states health care program for the poor, lower drug costs and more transparency in prescription drug prices. He sounded hopeful about his prospects, even in a divided government.

In some districts, people are feeling a sense of disarray and disorder and they want to return politics to the people and return to civility, he said. I believe there can still be a light and hope in politics and that we can have a politics that can unite and not divide.

Damascus condemns Turkish presence in north as breach of deal Turkey News Al Jazeera - Duration: 3:07.

Damascus condemns Turkish presence in north as breach of deal Turkey News Al Jazeera

Damascus says Turkeys presence in Syria breaches 1998 Adana deal, but Ankara insists deal gives it right to intervene.

Syrian President s government has condemned Turkeys military presence in northern as a violation of a 1998 protocol between the two countries.

On Saturday, the foreign ministry in Damascus accused Ankara of repeatedly breaching the Adana deal throughout .

"Since 2011, the Turkish regime has violated and continues to violate this agreement," a ministry source said, quoted by state news agency SANA.

The source accused Turkey of "supporting terrorists", using the governments term for both Turkish backed rebels and other armed groups including former al Qaeda affiliate Hayet Tahrir al Sham HTS .

It said Ankara was breaching the deal through "occupying Syrian territory via terrorist organisations linked to it or directly via Turkish military forces".

But Turkeys President has insisted the Adana Protocol gives his country the right to deploy troops in the neighbouring country.

Turkey backs Syrian rebel factions who control part of the north and has observation posts across rebel held Idlib province as part of a "" agreement signed in 2017 with Assads ally Russia, and Iran.

Ankara has threatened for months to launch a new offensive in northern Syria to drive out US backed Syrian Kurdish fighters.

It has twice led incursions into northern in 2016 and 2018. Since then, its forces and allied Syrian proxies have controlled a patch of territory on the border.

Ankara has repeatedly threatened to march on areas further east, where the US allied fighters of the Kurdish Peoples Protection Units YPG are in control.

The YPG is seen as an effective ground force by the US in the fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant , also known as ISIS armed group, but Turkey says it is linked to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party , which Ankara and Washington list as a terrorist group.

Washington last month it would pull its 2,000 troops from the country, leaving the scrambling to find a new ally in Damascus to avoid a potential Turkish assault.

On Friday, Erdogan said Turkey expected a "" to be created in Syria in a few months.

The Adana deal was signed in 1998 to end a crisis between the neighbours, sparked by the presence in Syria of PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan and bases run by the group.

argues the protocol provides Ankara with the legal ground to intervene in Syria against the PKK and its affiliates, because of the Syrian regimes failure to act against the group.

Damascus has regained control of almost two thirds of the country after intervened militarily in 2015.

 Ariel Winter doesn't love all of the attention she's received over her new svelte frame

 On Sunday, the "Modern Family" star shared several snaps with her boyfriend and fans couldn't help notice how slender the actress looked in her gray jumpsuit

 However, some thought Winter, 21, went under the knife.  "Nothing wrong with being honest and telling her we liked her better before 'the change' she was beautiful before she started chopping up her body and if me saying so helps one gurl out there to feel beautiful who's thinking of PS then its worth it," said one fan arguing with others in the comments

 Winter responded directly shutting down rumors she got any work done.  "I appreciate you wanting to help girls love themselves the way they are," she said

"But you are also kind of cutting someone (me) down which isn't what I think you were trying to do? I also didn't get plastic surgery

That is also not being supportive of women if you're just assuming something about the way they look

US NEWS | Couple leave Dont tip immigrants note after hearing American server speak Spanish Daily

A New Jersey couple left behind a racist note saying they Dont tip immigrants! after hearing an American waitress speak Spanish.  

Lorena Bossi said the couple had been so friendly and kind as she served their table at Under the Moon Cafe in Bordentown on Thursday night. 

You could tell they loved the experience, the man even called me "sweet" and said "my suggestion was great," she wrote on about the incident. 

So Bossi was shocked to find, at the end of the night, that the couple had left a note on the back of her receipt. 

A New Jersey couple left behind a racist note saying they Dont tip immigrants! after hearing American waitress Lorena Bossi speak Spanish

Bossi pictured said the couple had been so friendly and kind as she served their table at Under the Moon in on Thursday night, so she was shocked when she saw the note

DONT TIP IMMIGRANTS!!! it shouted in big black letters. The word immigrants was underlined five times, and they had added three exclamation points for emphasis. 

I spoke to a coworker in Spanish at one point and the end result is me getting to read the back of the receipt, Bossi, who was born in the US, wrote. 

I couldt help but be sad, especially because this is my line of work and I rely on tips. 

Im sure they will be back and I will be just as kind to them as I was tonight because I dont have hate in my heart, she added. Spread love people! And dont be ignorant. 

Bossi signed the Facebook post with Sincerely, a proud Latina American.   

Santiago Orosco, the owner of the restaurant, also wrote about the incident on Facebook and said the couple were in their mid to late forties, shared a slice of cake, and had raved about the food, the decor, and the service. 

Bossi said she believes the couple left the note behind because they heard her speak Spanish to a co worker

Bossi was born in the US and is multilingual. Her family emigrated from Uruguay decades ago

Upon arrival, they seemed very excited about dining at Under the Moon, complimenting the ambiance, as well as all the recommendations that our server had made, he wrote.   

At the end of service, our server grabbed the check from the table, told the customers good night, and thanked them as they were leaving. 

It was only when Bossi was closing out for the evening and going through the sales receipts that she realized the customers had left a note on the back of their bill. 

The couple were true to their word they did not leave a tip behind. 

Orosco said he cannot find the couple because they paid in cash, which he called a cowardly move.  

I can only assume that they heard our American multilingual server speak Spanish to another employee, Orosco wrote. 

Your server, who helped create an excellent experience for you, who you discriminated against with written ignorance and no tip, is not an immigrant. 

Santiago Orosco, the owner of the restaurant Under the Moon pictured , said the couple were in their mid to late forties and had raved about the food, the decor, and the service

Orosco pictured center said there is no place in his restaurant for hatred, bigotry, racism, homophobia, discrimination and that he doesnt want the couple to come back 

She is of Spanish descent, born in America, and is multilingual. I am utterly shocked at this blatant ignorance.

Orosco said Bossis family had emigrated to the US from Uruguay more than three decades ago. 

Theres no home in my restaurant for hatred, bigotry, racism, homophobia, discrimination, he told . 

Its ignorance, plain and simple. And a sense of entitlement too. If anyone feels the same way, dont come back. 

Orosco, who believes racism has gotten worse for Latinos recently, questioned if the couple would have left a similar note at a different restaurant. 

My thing is, if she went to a Chinese restaurant and people were speaking Chinese, would she have reacted the same way? If people were speaking French or German, would she have left the note? he asked. 

My place is supposed to be a loving, cozy restaurant, and my family and I worked our a asterisk asterisk asterisk s off to get what we have today. We dont need that hatred here. 

Orosco, who came to the US from Argentina and worked his way up from a dishwasher, describes himself as a very proud immigrant 

Orosco, who came to the US from Argentina and worked his way up from a dishwashing position, describes himself as a very proud immigrant. 

He has owned Under the Moon Cafe for the last 13 years and recently opened a second location. 

We are extremely proud to be part of the community. I came to this wonderful country for a better future, which, with a lot of sacrifice, heartache, pain, and sweat, I have accomplished, he wrote in the Facebook post. 

My family has tirelessly worked to create a great life and I owe it to this country and all its opportunity America has always been great!!! . 

Immigration and cultural blending are what created this special country. I truly believe that immigrants are key contributors to our society. Also, I am gay, at Under the Moon we accept all people but not ignorance and discrimination.  

Orosco said that since posting about the incident, he has received an outpouring of support from the local community. 

Its to the point of tears to see such a support for me, my family, and the restaurant, he said. 

Its overwhelming but reassuring that theres these people out there. Theres much nicer people.
