9:37 am
and melina cabin. those lost their son to hooligan violence. his death has sparked renewed calls for authorities in the country to get a handle on the fanatics. but some believe the problem runs and much deeper than the hooligans themselves. every photograph of their son reopens old wounds. more than 2 years ago, all risk of banos and his wife melinda lost their son. when he fell victim to a crime. for for, for, for 9 he always tried to support the weaker pupils at school, starving them up with you, or anyone who needed help. and i thought he was an angel and i missed him very much. can. will you be brought up on august was killed because he was a fan of the wrong soccer team. hooligans from an opposing club beat him to death in broad daylight municipal commodity of to the bottom when it came to fanatical
9:38 am
fans. he kept away from them. if you might make it through your windows, for me, it was supposed to some of the best phone. i mean, and i mean, i remember i would warn him again and again. well, so he wouldn't get involved and incidents of levels again, i mean the base of site before the there's a memorial to ology is in the northern greek city of testimony. the 19 year old was sitting here with his friends. when the attackers showed up in cars, the hooligans asked which team they supported. then the punches and stabbing began . august led to death of the scene. a mix of sports and violence has long been a part of daily life in greece. but the brutality of recent years is unprecedented . 3 people were killed in 18 months. the most recent death came in december 2023. when police officer, your ghost, they gave you this was fatally injured by
9:39 am
a flare. there are 2 1st division soccer clubs and that's low nicky. sports journalist petty cristella says that's a recipe for trouble. the 1st step, he's been a victim of the violence himself. 20 years ago. he was attacked by mass sealants on the street. all his injuries were life threatening. 3 days earlier, he had received an anonymous call. she told me that the if for you will not stop right about this pearson. you will have a big problem. comment us. here's a silence were never caught, even though there were many security cameras at the scene. stella suspects that the influence wielded by big soccer clubs in greece reaches all the way to the police and politics. never investigate governments.

politicians than others. no one thought that the system stella says the media are involved as well. all you need to do is look at the countries soccer publications. their headlines are meant to rile up the fans. to the we must have who we must when they're boys. 60. yeah. so who, what is the business paper? what she will do. nickos condos has a 15 year old son who's a fan of the r as club. she wouldn't allow him to go to the stadium alone. condos is going to one of the clubs home games today, but he's always on the lookout for hooligans. gully that i am, you have to be especially careful when there's much is between local rivals like
9:41 am
but it's best when funds from both sides avoid each other, but don't try it through the term. the district of the city with the to the stadium is located to the live in a but also we give them minutes to but a riot police have already been posted in front of our a stadium condos has his personalized admission ticket on his phone as digitize, tickets have replaced printed ones. at least condos can get back into the stadium again. after the police officer was killed, the greek soccer association ordered matches be played an empty stadiums for 3 months. yet visiting fans are still not allowed in the stadium for security reasons . because condos team one to nail in the end, he says the government should be tougher on the hooligans. they should double the sentences because it has to be a deterrent, especially when the techs are taking place outside of the state of linux. thursday,
9:42 am
august was killed far from the stadium. there wasn't even a match that day. his father r s. has campaign since then for nationwide reconciliation between different groups of fans. thought in uh, jan on board. if there is no magical overnight solution for the problem of find violence, he has it there. everyone involved our whole society. we must come together in the name of change and he has to, he missed a non national appointment. but come on, us still says he's seen little progress in greece. violence continues to mar sports events. that's why this year, as in the years before the soccer club final will be played with out spectators. the aaron islands are where irish culture and traditions flourish. in this year is the smallest of the bunch with just a few 100 residents. when there's an issue to be dealt with, the locals turn to a woman who's managing the whole island. 24 year old chloe,
9:43 am
she moved over from the mainland, and the locals have welcomed her perspective as an outside are managing and this year is a balancing act between preserving traditions and ensuring the island doesn't fall behind the times. the issue is an outlying slice of irish rock holding strongly against the crushing waves of the atlantic ocean. yeah, 24 year old kind of a molly has taken on responsibility. many people her age would shy away from she came here to be the island manager. i don't find that city isolation, i'm a new see i need to for my mental health or world to be i'd rather be in a place where you feel connected. and i think that's what's really strong about. bernard ends on islands like this. the smallest of the 3 are in islands is famous, rich shipwreck framed by the sweeping cliffs of mo, have on the mainland of islands west to the 345 irish speaking people who live here. there's no permanent police, no court. no,
9:44 am
i'm do this, but there is close. you don't have anyone role of you might have time for the day was, you know, you go in and something happens. it's a funeral, there's a missing task. whatever it's going to be, you're going to put to involve your slaves and take pers, hailing from islands mainland chloe fault for head job 3 years ago, often folding in love with the islands during a brief internship. she'd be cold. a below in by the island is not someone who's lived here for generations. hey, 1st uh so agreeable the whole machine. well lady know who, which i am um you doing for the this is who i am, i guess just fall here. i'm at 12, but that's what i've been doing since i was 10 years old. trying to improve the deland. i got from my dad. now is
9:45 am
a lot harder to do because there's so many rules and regulations when it comes to the dispute is over was and land chloe. you can play a mediating role. she's not from an issue and can stay out of the islands internal politics that she manages the islands co op, which was set up in 1971 and is owned by the families. it turns money from selling fuel and pause and reinvest back into the community. every island comedy only has one vote, each on decisions affecting the island. the job requires chloe's clarity, diplomacy, and dexterity. i want to work for the lines and make sure it's the best place for them to live on for young people to come back to the island to say chloe's understanding of mainland politics means modernization. she's been able to pressure to sort of these to help access you and national funds for in this year. we're very
9:46 am
lucky that we have chloe, you know, is a young person. she's very good with computers and knows what's going on with the model and word and to bring goes to to the mother and lord once a month because he facilitates the national bank to come to the island. and there's a monthly visit from the police for people to make official reports. but when the god leaves, it's oftentimes of chloe to sole type disputes and problems. for example, along the peer, despite being granted permission for a break, 4 to 16 years ago, there's been no movement in the government to make it to reality. the island is fear and impending disaster. over time thing, when i was driving down it just ways he's on the car and i was sold this orientation for a few seconds. i just stopped, but i've said, oh my god is
9:47 am
a car move, what is the? is it the way so, you know, think it was the most awful experience. i can't even explain how bad that was. that's why chloe. is campaigning, politicians, or fries and a bite? the peer for enforcing walsh are about 20000 meters on twice a day in summertime, our stock squares of funding this and we need infrastructure to collect more rainwater and harvest ourselves to clean it on the order to reduce the carbon footprint. young woman manages the island well says, have pre dest esa, who lives on the island, the experience, you guess, in a co op, in a small community, is own matched really anywhere else. and if you manage to do that job well, then, you know, discuss limis after that. the skills will last, but the values chloe lives by have always been. there's a sense of community here, and i think a lot of people come to the items are, are in items as a place of maybe healing or a place. so they can connect again even if they have their own family issues or
9:48 am
they have stuff going on. the v lined pos of rugged initiated are the ones chloe has chosen to cold have working together with the island is to overcome the challenges of this remote island to harness and to protect insights. standing beauty, it's a bit her sweet farewell fathers and husbands in north macedonia, leaving the families to go work abroad. low wages and high unemployment have made it all, but impossible for many macedonia is to earn a living in their homeland. parts of the country are becoming deserted as opportunities and hope dry up corruption and a weak rule of law are fueling distrust in the system. sophia hasn't seen much of her father over the past year. she misses him dearly, and his absence is becoming a regular part of her life. sophia is waiting for her dad to come home. she's been waiting 8 months. in
