politicians than others. no one thought that the cisco 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 uh, we must have who we must when a boy 60. yeah. so who, what is the business paper? what she will do. nichols 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,
1:41 pm
right. but it just gets best when funds from both sides avoid each other, but i don't drive through the term. the district of the city with a tube of 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, she says the government should be tougher on the hooligans. they should double the sentences because it has to be a deterrent, especially when the attacks are taking place outside of the state of august was

killed far from the stadium. there wasn't even a match that day. his father are as has come pain since then for nationwide reconciliation between different groups of fans. thought in uh, general motors. there's no magical overnight solution for the problem of time violence. yeah. is it the everyone involved our whole society. we must come together in the name of change and yes, do you miss the 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 comp final will be played with out spectators. the air in islands are, were 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,
1:43 pm
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 strong against the crushing waves of the atlantic ocean. yeah. 24 year old chloe, 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 isolates or i'm a new c, i'm eco, 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 where and are there is an islands like this. the smallest of the 3 are in islands is famous for it. shipwreck framed by the sweeping cliffs of mo, have on the mainland of islands west to the 345 irish speaking people who lived here. there's no permanent police, no court. no,
1:44 pm
i'm do this, but there is close. you don't have any one 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 push the envelope for your sleeves and take purse, hailing from islands mainland chloe, fault for head job 3 years ago, off to fooling and 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 to lady though 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 fill the land. i got from my dad. now it's a lot, howard,
1:45 pm
you should 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 close understanding of mainland pumps 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
1:46 pm
lucky that we have chloe, you know, there's 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 often dine to chloe to sol, type disputes, and problems. for example, along the peer, despite being grunted 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 via and impending disaster. the over tell thing when i was driving down it just ways he's on the car and i was so this orientation for a few seconds i just stopped and said, oh my goal is,
1:47 pm
is your car move? what is the is it the way? so you know, think it was the most awful experience accounting and explain how bad that was. that's why chloe. is campaigning. politicians a why isn't a by the peer for enforcing walsh are about 20000 meters off on twice a day in summertime. our stock squares of funding this, and we need infrastructure to collect more rain, walter, 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, disguise limis after that. the skills will last, but the values chloe lives by have always been that there's a sense of community here, and i think a lot of people come to the items are, are, and items as a place of maybe healing or a place. so they can connect again even if they have their own family issues or
1:48 pm
they have stuff going on. the v lined cost of rugged initiated are the ones chloe has chosen to cool to have working together with the island is to overcome the challenges of this remote island to harness and to protect it side of standing beauty. it's a bit her sweet farewell fathers and husbands and north macedonia, leaving those 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, the claim. my god is up
