Everton’s Carabao Cup second round match against Mansfield was delayed on Wednesday to allow fans “safe access” to the new Hill Dickinson Stadium.

The match was scheduled to begin at 19:45 BST, but it was changed to 15 minutes as a large number of empty seats started to show.

Everton claimed on August 16 that the tie was “sold out” at the venue with 6, 000 traveling fans from Mansfield, which had a capacity of 52, 700.

Everton’s social media channels, including the fan services account on X, were overflowing with fans complaining about allegedly problematic ticketing issues the day of the EFL Cup game.

Physical tickets have been replaced by a digital app since Goodison Park moved to the new stadium, but some fans claim they haven’t received their match tickets by Wednesday afternoon.

Israeli official Alexandrovich skips US court hearing on child sex charges

A senior Israeli official who is accused of child sex crimes in the United States has missed a court hearing scheduled for his case, which raises the possibility that he may have fled to avoid being tried.

David Chesnoff, Tom Artiom Alexandrovich’s attorney, admitted to telling his client to not show up at the hearing in Nevada on Wednesday.

Chesnoff said, “He was told by me that he wasn’t required to be here.”

Judge Barbara Schifalacqua, who had previously been granted bail, quickly refrained from making the suggestion, stating that suspects released on bond like Alexandrovich must “make every court appearance.”

According to Schifalacqua, “I’m looking at his bond documents that indicate the court appearance that he was ordered to appear at was today.” Therefore, it is hereby denied that your oral, I suppose, request to waive him from making his present appearance here is pending.

Since Alexandrovich’s arrest was made public earlier this month, his case has been causing controversy and garnering national attention.

The Israeli official was detained on August 6, but more than a week later, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department announced an undercover operation “targeting child sex predators,” an incident that was not made public.

After being accused of luring or trying to lurch a child online to engage in sexual behavior, Alexandrovich was freed and allowed to return to Israel.

Due to the close ties between the US and Israel, it has become possible that he may have received preferential treatment as a result of his release without any travel restrictions.

However, President Donald Trump’s administration has declined to take any action, and Alexandrovich’s release has been described as “standard” by the neighborhood district attorney.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government falsely denied Alexandrovich’s arrest earlier this month, downplaying the incident.

Chesnoff made the suggestion on Wednesday that there was a deal he and the prosecution had going forward with Alexandrovich’s court appearances.

“My client is not here,” I said. The attorney informed the court that he was not going to be here and that we have an agreement with the state.

However, according to Schifalacqua, the district attorney’s office “has no authority to waive appearances” at an felony arraignment.

According to Schifalacqua, “nobody got a waiver from my court.”

Chesnoff and the court eventually agreed that Alexandrovich would appear remotely before the court the following week, on September 3, for his arraignment, which would include a formal presentation of the charges and a guilty or not guilty plea.

Schifalacqua warned of additional restrictions on Alexandrovich’s release, including a potential ban on using dating and social media sites with minors.

Sigal Chattah, the acting US Attorney for the District of Nevada and a Trump appointee, pointed the finger at local prosecutors as the outcry grew over allowing Alexandrovich to leave the country.

A liberal district attorney and state court judge in Nevada failed to require a suspected child molester to obtain his passport, which eluded his country, Chattah wrote on social media.

However, Steve Wolfson, the district attorney for Clark County, claimed Alexandrovich’s case was handled in a unique way.

Anyone who was booked on that charge can post that bail and be released without any conditions, Wolfson said in the Las Vegas Review-Journal earlier this month. “That’s what happened in this case.”

However, Richard Davies, a lawyer for the criminal defense team in Nevada, stated last week to Al Jazeera that the apparent lack of conditions for Alexandrovich’s release despite the seriousness of the charges was “fishy.”

The court ought to be concerned about safeguarding children both locally and globally. Therefore, it’s very unusual to permit this person to leave, Davies said.

One of the Real Housewives of London has revealed she was “pretty much dumped at the altar” in her twenties. Juliet Mayhew recently recalled the end of an engagement years ago whilst discussing her experience with rejection.

Juliet, one of the stars of the new Hayu show, claimed to be in a “pretty dark place” after a previous relationship ended. She attributes her support to her faith and loved ones.

On a podcast released today, the reality TV star, who is now in her 40s, discussed ending her relationship with her former partner, whose identity she kept secret. Juliet claimed she had a dream about getting married and was in her early 20s.

Speaking on the Rejection Rehab podcast, Juliet said that her parents, who have been together for more than 50 years, were role models to her growing up. She said: “You dream of being married and having children and a family.”

She continued, “I always believed that I was wise and wise in my decisions, y’know, and that I remained committed to my faith and morals and viewed him in the same way that my father was.” And I… I almost went to the altar, where I was dumped.

Juliet said that her “whole world collapsed”. She told podcast host Dr. Tom Flaherty that she had been “very young” and had “rose-coloured glasses”. After recalling accepting her partner’s proposal, she said: “I think so much about this decision comes down to your pride.”

She continued, “I had accepted the man I had fallen in love with.” And so, I follow through on my promise and my actions when I say I’m going to do something. Juliet asserted that it is her “integrity,” adding that she had already decided to change if she began to doubt or see gaps. These things must undoubtedly work together.

She continued, “It was heartbreaking for me to learn that he was cheating on me, I believe, two months before we were married.” And that caused my entire world to end like [we had already announced]our wedding].

Juliet claimed that the wedding was followed by an “amazing prelude.” She said to Tom, “Suddenly, boom, it was… he cheated on me.” Where did that leave me, exactly? Why wasn’t I good enough for him because something about me was so wrong with me?

She claimed that her bridesmaids had an “amazing” lunch to “celebrate” her on the day of her wedding. Juliet also made it known that one of her friends had been “so strict” after the breakup, and that she was encouraged to move on with her life.

Juliet claimed that the friend encouraged her to stay with her and told her not to contact her ex. She claimed that the pal had told her to “be who you are” and continue to follow her “trajectory.”

The guest referred to it as “the best thing anyone had done for her,” adding that “I had to go through the process of like when one door closes and another door opens.” She said, “I think I had to decide that I wasn’t going to look backwards in my mind. I anticipated what I would find.

Juliet claimed that her ex-boyfriend didn’t want to start dating again because she realized it was the “worst decision.” She continued, “That man was not for me,” but continued that he was a “wonderful man.” She continued, claiming that Anthony Mayhew, her husband, was the man who was in charge. She and Anthony have a family together, and they have been together for 19 years.
