Liverpool will host a trial event for the new Anfield Road Stand in the coming days as they seek to partially open the top tier before Manchester United come to town on December 17. The building work encountered major delays earlier this year when the firm in charge went bankrupt, forcing Liverpool to begin this season with the top tier of the stand shut.

Michael Cohen, who was once Donald Trump's confidant and self-described "fixer," is set to return to a courtroom as the star witness in Trump's $250 million fraud trial. Donald Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen, who was once Trump's confidant and self-described "fixer," is set to return to a courtroom in New York as the star witness in the former president's $250 million civil fraud trial. Cohen spent a decade in Trump's inner circle before becoming ensnared in his own legal problems, resulting in prison time and disbarment -- during which time he flipped to become one of Trump's most vocal critics.
