Marrakech: devil lies in detail for Swiss

Dogon villages in Mali's Sahel region: Desertification and rising temperatures are making farming here increasingly more desperate. (Keystone) Swiss negotiators in Marrakech will strive to reach agreement on “robust and efficient” regulations for the Paris accord, the global treaty to combat climate change. But non-govemental organisations say more funding is needed for poor countries to fight global warming. The Paris Accord officially came into force on November 4 after it won the formal support of 55 nations representing at least 55% of greenhouse gas emissions. The deal, reached in the French capital one year ago, aims to slash greenhouse gas emissions by shifting away from fossil fuels to limit global warming to "well below" two degrees Celsius (3.6 Fahrenheit) compared to pre-industrial times. That is the good news. The bad news was the announcement from the Geneva-based World Meteorological Organization that carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere worldwide last year surpas SWI swissinfo...

Why the elite come to Switzerland for healthcare

Swiss luxury clinics are doing a roaring trade, thanks to a growing number of rich patients from abroad seeking medical help, detox or cosmetic surgery. (RTS/swissinfo.ch/jh) Wealthy clients from Russia and Asia are notching up bills of up to CHF7,500 ($7,589) per night in some treatment centres. Even public institutions, such as Zurich University Hospital, are sending marketing managers to trade fairs in Russia to tap into the health tourism market. The clients are believed to be celebrities, leaders of companies or inteational organisations, govement officials and heads of state, attracted by Switzerland’s state-of-the-art clinics and hospitals. The clinics also provide translation services and organise first class accommodation for their patients. Secrecy surrounds the clinics and Swiss public television, RTS, was not permitted to film at La Prairie in Montreux, the Klinik Hirslanden in Zurich, and other treatment centres in Leukerbad and Genolier.

Benefits of reducing emissions go beyond climate

The ProClim report "Spotlight on Swiss Climate" was presented in Be in parallel with the kickoff of the global climate summit COP22 in Marrakech, Morocco on November 7. (Keystone) A new report by the Swiss Academy of Sciences (SCNAT) highlights the economic and social opportunities that climate change adaptations can bring.  The report’s main message is twofold: firstly, climate change is felt especially keenly by alpine ecosystems, where warming is double the global average. Secondly, immediate and coordinated action at the political, industrial, and societal levels is urgent, but doesn’t have to be a chore: many economic and social benefits can come from taking steps to mitigate and adapt to climate change, the authors say. Published by ProClim, SCNAT’s climate change forum, in collaboration with the Swiss environment ministry and the Advisory Body on Climate Change (OcCC), the 200-page report entitled  “Spotlight on Swiss Climate - status and perspectives" was presented on Monda SWI swissinfo...

Is Switzerland prepared for terrorism?

Increased police presence at Zurich airport after the Brussels bombing in March (KEYSTONE/Ennio Leanza) An increasing number of large and well-known Swiss companies are insuring themselves again terrorism: Swiss Federal Railways, major airports and even the Zurich Opera House. Switzerland itself, however, doesn’t have a govement solution for major damages. In the view of Switzerland’s intelligence service, the country is not a primary target of jihad terrorism because it is not taking part in the military battle against the Islamic State (IS). Nevertheless, the danger of terrorism has also increased here since the terror attacks on Paris, Nice and Brussels. Terrorism is not only a human disaster but a financial one as well: the September 11 terror attacks in the United States cost insurance companies $37 billion (CHF39 billion). Insurers consequently cancelled all agreements and refused to insure terrorism risks going forward. The state had to intervene, forcing insurers by l SWI swissinfo...

How Swiss is the US electoral system?

The US electoral system may seem rather unique, but it actually has a lot in common with Switzerland’s brand of democracy. Here’s how they compare.

The report is presented by swissinfo.ch’s Susan Misicka. The original video was produced by Arthur Honegger and Jonas Bayona of the online news service of Swiss public television, SRF.

A neutral eye on the US elections

Photo essay Cédric von Niederhäuse “I do not know if the people of the United States would vote for superior men if they ran for office, but there can be no doubt that such men do not run.”  Alexis de Tocqueville (1805 - 1859) “The mood is loaded, people are nervous, there’s something in the air.” Photographer Cédric von Niederhäuse spent the last year trying to capture America in an election year. Being Swiss helped open doors. First-hand encounters with people in small-town America, like a friendly National Rifle Association member at a shooting range, helped shape his understanding of polarisations within society. For von Niederhäuse, his Swiss nationality was a sign of neutrality and he was viewed as an “uninvolved observer”. After inteships at various Swiss outlets, von Niederhäuse applied to the Inteational Center for Photography in New York to study photojoualism.

Swiss photographer completes ‘E-bike diaries’ voyage

Luca Zanetti in Pato Canyon in Peru, which separates the Cordillera Blanca mountain range from the Cordillera Negra range. This road is considered done of the most dangerous in the world (Luca Zanetti) What kind of Latin America road trip would Che Guevara go on if he were alive today? He may have ridden an electric bike. That’s what Swiss photographer Luca Zanetti and friends have done with their just completed ‘E-bike diaries’ adventure.  The Swiss photographer swears he will never go on another adventure quite like it. The images are etched in his memory: smiling villagers, curious to see him riding by, the plains and the stunning mountains and roads that wind up and down the longest mountain range on the planet, as well as the smell of the rain-soaked soil and the sea breezes. "I was seen as a hero," said Zanetti, describing the welcome he received in towns and villages in the Andes, at 5,000 metres above sea level, after daily rides of up to 140 kilometres.  But whenev SWI swissinfo...

Bulgaria heads to polls in democratic first

Hadzhi Toshko Yordanov: "We want more democracy and less corruption" (Slavi’s Show) Bulgarians will vote for the first time on three electoral initiatives on November 6. Years of collaboration with Switzerland helped pave the way for this democratic precedent. The hideous grey complex I enter in downtown Sofia was built in 1981 in honour of Lyudmila Zhivkova, daughter of Todor Zhivkov, a dictator who reigned over the country for 30 years. The ghosts of this communist dinosaur still loom today, particularly in the dark, never-ending corridors where I take shelter from the rainy autumn day outside. Suddenly a heavy wooden door opens and a short man with long, curly hair appears in the corridor. “Welcome to the Slavi show,” Hadzhi Toshko Yordanov says, inviting me into his office. “This is where we organised the biggest collection of signatures in the history of Bulgaria,” he adds grandly.The Slavi show is a Bulgarian take-off of American late night talk shows.

Reports of death of minority language greatly exaggerated

Hands up who thinks creating bilingual schools outside canton Graubünden is a good way to keep Romansh alive (Keystone) Tough times for Romansh, Switzerland’s least-spoken national language. Not only is the Romansh chair at the University of Zurich under threat, but the official umbrella organisation complains that the language has been ignored by the national broadcaster. Just how serious is the situation – and what can be done? “Swiss language patriots up in arms – Romansh judged too expensive” was the headline in Zurich’s Tages-Anzeiger on September 9. The paper revealed that the federal technology institute ETH Zurich had decided to stop contributing money towards a Romansh chair at the University of Zurich. “A narrow-minded decision by a great institution which is betraying its own tradition on cultural issues regarding language,” Clà Riatsch, the professor who currently holds the 50% position, told swissinfo.ch.

Chemical disaster still burns in Swiss memory

Thirty years after a fire caused a major chemical spill near Basel, many open questions remain. The Federal Office for the Environment is awaiting the final report before issuing new safety guidelines. In the early hours of November 1, 1986, a fire broke out at a warehouse belonging to chemicals company Sandoz at the Schweizerhalle industrial area just outside Basel. Around 1,351 tonnes of pesticides and agrochemicals went up in flames. The accident tued the River Rhine red, killed thousands of fish and sent acrid smoke over the city. It was one of Europe’s worst environmental disasters and it made headlines around the world. See in other languages: 4 Marcus Müller, head of canton Basel Country’s crisis squad, told Swiss public television SRF that both companies and communities are better prepared today. “We’ve got leadership bodies at the company, town and cantonal levels.

The cost of quitting nuclear energy

Is Switzerland ready to phase out nuclear power? Experts weigh in on the November 27 nationwide vote on the country’s nuclear plants. (SRF/swissinfo.ch) Banning construction of nuclear power plants and limiting the use of existing ones to 45 years: that’s what the people’s initiative from the Green Party proposes. This would mean that the stations Beznau I and II (in canton Aargau) and Mühleberg (Be) should shut down in 2017, Gösgen (Solothu) in 2024 and Leibstadt (Aargau) in 2029. Opponents fear that replacing nuclear energy will result in increased imports from foreign coal-fired power plants. Centre-right senator Behard Luginbühl claims there’s not enough renewable energy available today to make up for the gap. For Luginbühl and for many others abandoning nuclear energy requires more time. Rolf Wüstenhagen researches future energy at the University of St Gallen. He says the arguments of the opponents are too simple since Switzerland already imports electricity, bo SWI swissinfo...

Why big data is good for your health

Flesh and bones meet machines in a bid to improve healthcare (Keystone) At the University Hospital of Giessen and Marburg 6,000 patients are waiting for a diagnosis of their rare conditions. In a good year, doctors can only diagnose 1,000 of them. A Zurich-developed artificial intelligence system it’s now using can diagnose baffling cases in days. Most patients have spent years bouncing from one doctor to another, building up huge dossiers of medical notes. Rare diseases typically take at least five years to correctly name, and sometimes up to 30, by which time it can be too late for effective treatment. “This is an inefficient, costly business,” Dr Jurgen Schafer, who heads the German university’s medical team, said at a media conference at IBM Zurich in October. “The computer is not going to replace the physician. But with this amount of data, it is completely clear that we don’t need more physicians – we need more computer power.” Researchers at IBM in Rüschliko SWI swissinfo...

Switzerland’s endangered species on show

Rare Swiss breeds are being saved from extinction by the foundation ProSpecieRara. Every five years, animal lovers get a chance to see them up close. (Julie Hunt, swissinfo.ch)  The non-profit organisation was set up in 1982 to prevent endangered species of animals, crops, fruit and vegetables from dying out. This year, breeders of endangered animals gathered in a hall in canton Aargau to show the public why they believe it is important to preserve the different species. Many of the ProSpecieRara cows, sheep, goats and chickens are smaller than fast-growing farm animals bred on a large scale since the 1930s for meat, milk and egg production. However, the traditional breeds are often more robust, well-adapted to hostile terrain and harsh climate, and are happy with grass and hay. This means they are cheaper to maintain.  More than 3,000 people and institutions are involved in the organisation’s projects. Breeders’ organisations keep registers, which show how closely animals are re SWI swissinfo...

Swiss among European leaders for post office closures

In many places in Switzerland, the traditional post office is just a memory (Keystone) The Swiss Post’s announcement to close 600 traditional post offices follows a trend across Europe, although there are marked differences between countries. In detailed presentations released on Wednesday, Swiss Post said it “envisages a network of 800 to 900 traditional post offices by 2020”, down from the current 1,400. The exact number will depend on the outcome of discussions held with towns and cities and the nation’s 26 cantons. “It will avoid closing post offices without replacing them and will provide alteative solutions in all cases,” said an online statement. “By 2020, around 1,200 employees could be affected by changes. Swiss Post aims to continue to avoid redundancies.” European trend The announcement comes at a time of major overhaul of postal services across Europe.

The most calorific food festival ever?

Gruyère may be renowned for its cheese, but its double cream is also highly prized. It was presented in all its variations at the region's first festival dedicated to the dairy product.  Rain didn’t deter the many foreign and local tourists who gathered at the event in the town of Gruyères. Equipped with umbrellas, they patiently waited in long queues in front of each stand to sample the sweet and savoury versions of double cream. On offer: the equivalent of 300 metres (984 feet) worth of meringues, 40 litres of double cream, 1,000 strawberries and 1,000 raspberries. Double cream is a local flagship product, and contains at least 45% fat. It is in fact the fat from milk that artisan dairies remove before making their cheese. They say it is best tasted locally, as it is a very delicate product that needs to be eaten quickly and kept cold. Ten sweet and savoury dishes were prepared with the ingredient for the festival, ranging from mushroom casserole to cream tart, and were served a SWI swissinfo...
