The footballer, whose Vasco contract was torn up earlier this month, could have to pay a huge fine and the costs of Larissa's medical treatment if the accusations against him are found to be true. Payet's lawyer Sheila Lustoza said: "I'm surprised the case has been reopened, as it is based on information that was already out there. "But I am confident that the legal system will recognise my client's innocence." Payet left West Ham for Marseille in a £25million deal in January 2017 after falling out of favour with Hammers fans. The set-piece expert, who has 38 caps, pushed for a transfer after claiming he was homesick.

I moved to regional Australia because I thought it would be easier than living in a big city... but here's why it's not working out
A young woman struggling with the cost-of-living crisis has revealed how moving to the country for a cheaper lifestyle has backfired as there are no jobs available. Larissa, 28, said her conception of a hardworking but comfortable life had been shattered by the current economic conditions. She said in a TikTok video life was tough for those in their 20s and 30s and she often wondered 'what is the point?' She said many young Australians had been sold the idea they could go to university, get a degree and get a good job before being set for life. 'And that job is meant to pay for a house and maybe a holiday once a year, and maybe you'd have some kids,' she said. 'And that's like not happening now and you're kind of just like, what's the actual point of anything?' Larissa said she thought, by her age, she might have 'a three-bedroom house' and be 'thinking about kids and maybe be successful' in her career. The disgruntled Aussie was interrupted by a sound in the background of the video, saying it came from her landlord's grandchildren because she lived in a 'tiny studio'. 'And no, I don't live in Melbourne or Sydney. I moved regional to try and save money and there's no jobs out here,' she clarified. 'Anyway, it's kind of just made me reassess my whole life. Like what am I doing? Should I just go travelling? 'I'm the type of person to plan everything but I'm just kind of feeling like f*** it. Do I just do what makes me happy?' More than 3,000 social media users weighed in, many saying they felt similar impulses. 'We have a doctor and lawyer in the family and they can't afford houses in Sydney where they work,' one commiserated. '(I'm) in my 30's, I'm the highest paid person in my extended family, minimal debt, in secure employment and it's miserable,' another said. 'I still cant buy a house – local or regional – so we're using money to travel and see the world.' 'That's exactly where we are at. We are miserable in Australia at the moment,' a third wrote. 'I'm 27 with a degree and living in a studio too, working full time and just spent my Sunday morning on Seek applying for weekend work,' one woman agreed. 'Median wage is $75,000 average rent is over $700 a week. The country is cooked,' another added, quoting Sydney unit rental averages. Another added simply, 'Australia is broken'. 'It's a mince meat, cask wine future,' another joked. Others, however, offered some harsher advice. 'I'm mid 40s. I felt like that in my 20s. It's called being in your 20s,' one wrote. ''Should I just go travelling?' There's your problem,' another said. 'If you are 28 and you don't have at least 80k in your bank account to use as a deposit and or a career that will enable you to get a loan of $650k then it's your fault you are where you are now at 28.'

IRL hype: TwitchCon drops stream queens and meme kings into Rotterdam
ROTTERDAM, June 2 — A few metro stops from Rotterdam's Ahoy Arena, chatter is already flowing among gaming fans — TwitchCon passes swinging from their necks, animal ears perched on their heads. The Dutch city is hosting TwitchCon this weekend — the annual event run by United States streaming giant Twitch — where fans can meet their favourite creators and join the celebrations. 'I started during the lockdown and I just really like to put on the live stream while I'm working on cosplays or other things,' said Larissa, a 24-year-old Dutch woman, who came to meet the creator of the fantasy characters that inspire her. This is Larissa's second TwitchCon, and for the occasion, she is dressed as a half-cyborg, half-minotaur creature with green skin and bright red eyes. 'I've been meeting a lot of cool people here, especially when you're in cosplay. People recognize the cosplay and are like, oh, that's the same series I really like. So then you have also something to talk about already.' People attend the international event TwitchCon Europe at the Ahoy area in Rotterdam May 31, 2025. — AFP pic Electric energy Like Larissa, thousands of fans from across Europe turned out to meet their favourite creators and watch live e-sports events including Fortnite and Elden Ring, staged by Twitch celebrities. 'Most of the work that happens on Twitch is online, it's digital,' said Mary Kish, a marketing director at Twitch. 'You're streaming with other people, you're hanging out with your community for many hours a week. 'What happens at TwitchCon is the culmination of all of that goodwill and all of that joy in person at a con, and the energy is electric,' said the 39-year-old, who is from the United States. French streamers JL Tomy and Etoiles — who have 1.3 million and 1.2 million followers — were also among those in attendance. 'It's fun because there are lots of other partner streamers who are like me,' said JL Tomy, 28, whose real name is Toma Abdellaoui. 'I'm very much a homebody,' said the streamer, whose content focuses on GTA, Valorant, League of Legends and e-sports competitions. Attendees play chess during the international event TwitchCon Europe at the Ahoy area in Rotterdam May 31, 2025. — AFP pic Acquired by Amazon in 2014 for roughly $842 million, Twitch is the world's leading streaming platform for gaming, with more than 2.5 million hourly viewers on average. While gaming remains core to Twitch since its 2011 debut, the platform has broadened its reach, drawing in entertainment, sports and political figures, as well as livestreaming other major events. Kish said that Twitch's 'Just Chatting' category is now its largest non-gaming segment. 'There is a massive variety of other people doing other things. Like food and drink, where people are cooking... people who are showing their aquariums in their houses,' Kish said. Reflecting that diversity, visitors attended theatre workshops, built Lego models, or watched the annual Drag Queen show, a TwitchCon staple. TwitchCon's next North American edition is scheduled for October 17–19, 2025, in San Diego. — AFP
