the spots, the cities checked on some great cultural memorials to boot dw, travel. we got the this is focus on europe. i'm laura baba, lola, nice to have you with us. a recent landmark ruling at the european court of human rights could set a new president in the fight against climate change. judges rule that switzerland has violated human rights by not doing enough to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. the case was brought forward by a group of more than 2000 women. extreme weather events are becoming more frequent in europe as the deadline to meet the parents. climate agreement targets draws

closer. last year was the warmest on record and the united nations is sounding a red alert about global warming in the european alps. glaciers are melting and mountain flanks are eroding, and francis brace who are out a storm at tours through the valley and 2020, causing an avalanche of debris. and the devastation is still visible, says von or foods is trying to rebuild his life and his business. but he's bound by red tape money there, feel let down by authorities, whether warnings or regular occurrence and residents are bracing for another storm to hit the upper reaches of the royal valley or a disaster area. nature lovers ones for acquainted. the valley and adjacent mountain villages. but the climate crisis opened the way for storm alex, on flooding and destruction. was you of these

the innkeepers, there's been a food runs as pop up. i took this temper reset to embrace all yeah, we didn't share it as a far cry from a traditional french cafe. you much. that's a bonus. easy way of climate. you really horrific? almost. you said you were uncomfortable. the don't people are friendly, don't grew up. they don't give us any more. that is almost in early october 2020. the area around has pub in place. so i looked like this 2 days after the storm switched to a whatever it could carry. it will be plus small at 1st helpers and french television camera teams could only get as close as a neighboring valley cuz this social media meant to do this. you can go for about 48 hours, the people, the fraser, right. yeah. and surrounding villages were cut off from the outside world

or some of the collateral damage. so we can all of the buildings that are behind you were condemned to video who was going on. you know, many of the buildings are still uninhabitable. a local real estate agent receives customers in a container as does the post office the village swimming pool on the river bank is slated for demolition on stairs. one of food says he is not a load in sight. his former in for fear it might collapse the funds to see if i think it was the result of climate change. if you see a dark cloud a settled over the people of this valley, apple said everything was chaos still go to now. the anxious stress of the deal is terrible. whole company ridiculous. people get scared every time it rains on pushing the population of the valley is aging when they're alone,

or there's just 2 of them. all that kind of fight the water and the much the offer in the royal valley is still buried under a landslide. nobody's allowed to set foot on it. repair work along the river royal has dragged on for 3 years now. the, the, the palm own government tries to keep up morale with publicity videos claiming progress is being made for years after storm alex. meanwhile, extreme weather events keep coming and insurance claims have yet to be settled. residents express the resentment the forgotten ones of storm alex see the signs off and the insurance companies will pay for renovations, especially not for buildings close to the river. the risk is too great. but 74 year old pensioner maurice set from car is determined to stay despite the risk. if you can hardly manage the stairs to her temporary apartment,

she says. in your heading down to the police, come by regularly. every time we have a storm warning, in orange alerts, they come by and pick me up. since the flood her life has yet to return to normal servicing the screws. you read the for the 5 men to to psycho therapist, but i just can't get anywhere. it hasn't been possible in the end, i said to myself, the therapists are worse off than i am. there is no point to a good model of the brother printer and the storm warnings and just keep coming. if something were to happen again, if the whole house shakes, then i shake along with it that will get for me of it. show. what can i do then? guess what to do with that. she doesn't want to give up her beloved home. now every day she looks to see if the water is rising. innkeeper sanders bonus has long since

had to accept the new realities of climate change. and some of this to go out there, we are victims of climate change trying to show me quickly because it's happening faster and foster proposed even the next few years will be hard. and really for the shopping, i'm especially worried about the young people rather partial fellows living here in the valley. it will have dramatic consequences. going to be the most realized that's how much he said. there's bonus when his patients hardly even see the shade and police who really yeah, as a provisional solution anymore. at least if the next, whether disaster claims this one, it won't be such a sense of loss. they are known as ultras, or hooligans. fanatics who glorify violence in the name of sports, especially soccer incidents have been on the rise across europe for years now. some have been fatal in greece, heiress,

and melina cabinets 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 much deeper than the hooligans themselves. for every photograph of their son reopens old wounds. more than 2 years ago orest cabanas and his wife molina lost their son when he fell victim to a crime for for, for so i knew he always tried to support the weaker pupils at school, starving them up if you have anyone who needed help 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. 9 s folk

a month. you have to look at them when it came to fanatical fans. he kept away from them at the moment. get through your windows for me. what's, what's, what's the best phone? i mean and i mean, you know, 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 sight before the there's a memorial to all just 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

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, but the silence 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 dispenser. you will have a big problem. comment us. he'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 uh, we must have who we must win. boy. 60 yeah. so who, who did the business paper? was she who do you goes 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,

but it's best when funds from both sides avoid each other. but don't try 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 campaign 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, the non national appointment, but come on, us still says he's seen little progress in greece. violence continues to more 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 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,

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 korea 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, said the isolation, i'm a new say i need go for my mental health or well, it'd 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, 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 her job 3 years ago, off to 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 bitter land. i got from my desk. now as a lot,

howard 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 in a sheer 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 only let 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 on the national funds for an issue. we're very

lucky that we have chloe, you know, there's a young person, she's very good with computers and knows what's going on 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 grunted permission for a break 4 to 16 years ago, there's be no movement in the government to make it to reality. the island is fear, an impending disaster. the over tell 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 and said, oh my goal is, is your car move?

what is the? is it the wait? see? no. think it was the most awful experience attempting to explain how bad that was. that's why chloe. is campaigning. politicians on present 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 the candidate 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. 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

they have stuff going on. the v lined pos of rugged initiated are the ones chloe has chosen to cool to have working together with the islanders 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 in 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. in
