you'll need to take the dispose column out of the grouping if you don't want sums groupd by the individual dispose values
select count(*)
from table1
where dipose like '%sanctions%'
if you want the word "sanctions" to appear in the results, you can hardcode that
select 'sanctions' , count(*)
from table1
where dipose like '%sanctions%'
select count(*)
from table1
where dipose like '%sanctions%'

select 'sanctions' , count(*)

I will suggest the below query, though I must presume that the starting point (table design) is not really optimal for this query of queries...
select sum(case when dipose like '%sanctions%' then 1 else 0 end) santions_count
, sum(case when dipose like '%notices%' then 1 else 0 end) notices_count
from table1

if having the results in one row isn't sufficient you could unpivot them or do a simple union
(the unpivot is more efficient though)
select 'sanctions' , count(*)
from table1
where dipose like '%sanctions%'
union all
select 'notices' , count(*)
from table1
where dipose like '%notices%'
(the unpivot is more efficient though)
select 'sanctions' , count(*)
from table1
where dipose like '%sanctions%'
union all
select 'notices' , count(*)
from table1
where dipose like '%notices%'

an "unpivot" might look something like this with a dummy join
select x.str,count(*) from
(select 'sanctions' as str union all select 'notices' as str) as x, table1
where dispose like '%' + str +'%'
select x.str,count(*) from
(select 'sanctions' as str union all select 'notices' as str) as x, table1
where dispose like '%' + str +'%'
