Huge garage chain with North Staffordshire site puts 700 jobs at riskA total of 86 sites are to close in the UKView Image The chain is preparing to exit the UK marketA major tyre and servicing chain with a site in North Staffordshire is preparing to exit the UK market after years of cost-cutting - putting more than 700 jobs at risk.

Sites earmarked for closure will continue operating during a consultation period, which is expected to run until April. He explained that competition and rising costs have left the company with "no viable path forward" to break even.

What we became known to be was a yo-yo team going from Two to One and One to Two. I just always tried to help the team any way I could,” he noted. After all, in Daly’s eyes, it is all about current and future Roscommon players believing they have every right to compete against and beat the top teams.

And their desire to keep going is what ultimately allowed them to pilfer a winning goal here. How refreshing it must feel for Slot to be on the right side of some late drama for a change. It says it all that Mac Allister's 97th-minute winner is only the Reds' second latest of the campaign. But it would be disingenuous to say this performance suggested Liverpool are ready to roar their way to the promised land of the Champions League.

Pakistan’s military killed at least 70 militants in strikes along the border with Afghanistan, targeting what it described as hideouts of Pakistani militants it blamed for recent attacks inside the country, the deputy interior minister said. Talal Chaudhry, Pakistan’s deputy interior minister, offered no evidence for his claim in an interview with Geo News that at least 70 militants were killed in the strikes. Afghanistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned Pakistan’s ambassador to Kabul to protest the Pakistani strikes. Hours before the Pakistani strikes, a suicide bomber targeted a security convoy in the border district of Bannu in Pakistan’s north-west, killing two soldiers, including a lieutenant colonel. In Islamabad, security analyst Abdullah Khan said the Pakistani strikes suggest that Qatari, Turkish and even Saudi-led mediations have failed to resolve tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
