Assad has said that taking the city of Aleppo from rebel forces would act as a springboard to 'push terrorists back to Turkey’
(AFP)
Syria's President Bashar al-Assad told Swiss public television, SRF, that fighting ‘terrorists’ in Aleppo was the only way of ‘protecting civilians’. He denied govement forces bombed hospitals indiscriminately and dismissed allegations of the army’s use of chemical weapons.
“According to the constitution, according to the law, we have to protect people, we have to get rid of those terrorists from Aleppo. This is where we can protect the civilians,” Assad told SRF in the interview broadcast on Wednesday.
"How can you protect them while they are under the control of terrorists? They've been killed by them, and they've been controlled fully by the terrorists. Is it our role to sit aside and watch, if that's how we can protect the Syrian people? We need to attack the terrorists, that's self-evident."

Care work third most-chosen apprenticeship for young people in Switzerland
(swissinfo.ch)
Who will be crowned the best care worker in Switzerland? With a looming staff shortage in nursing homes and hospitals, a high-stakes contest is a way to attract young people to the profession.
Rahel Pomaro’s face glistens with sweat in the bright lights as she prepares breakfast for her “patient”. On the other side of the glass, her friends and family watch anxiously, brandishing homemade flags and kerchiefs with her face printed on them. She glances at the clock to make sure she can finish all the tasks on her list before time is up.She’s a competitor in the second-ever national skills competition for care workers – people who assist patients in nursing homes, hospitals and home care settings.

Ambassador LeVine plans to hold talks with Swiss bankers
(Keystone)
Several Swiss banks have received a letter from the United States Ambassador to Be, Suzan LeVine, asking them not to shun US citizens who want to open accounts in Switzerland.
Many Swiss banks have frozen out US clients, and even closed down existing accounts, in the wake of a damaging legal battle with the US Department of Justice (DoJ) over tax evasion. Banks have not only dropped links to tax cheats, but many have also shued all US citizens, as the paperwork builds up along with the potential penalties for letting a rotten apple slip through the net.
LeVine plans to meet bankers to find a solution for tax compliant US citizens living in Switzerland. There are currently around 20,000 US citizens resident in the alpine country and many more with dual citizenship.
“Many US persons have expressed their conces to me about their lack of access to banking services in Switzerland,” LeVine wrote in the letter t

Switzerland has welcomed the official appointment of the new United Nations secretary-general, António Guterres, although media waed that he had his work cut out in the “most difficult job in the world”. He replaces Ban Ki-moon, who will step down at the end of the year.
The 193-member UN General Assembly on Thursday unanimously appointed the 67-year-old former Portuguese Prime Minister as the ninth secretary-general of the world body for five years, begiing January 1, 2017.

Three-quarters of the 20 states most affected by land grabbing are in Africa and Asia
(Reuters)
The worrying rise in foreign investors buying up land in poor countries is set to get worse in future, taking valuable resources from local populations. A report out later this month by a Be database into ‘land grabbing’ should dig deeper into the problem.
“The grabbing of agricultural land is really a kind of neo-colonialism,” says Swiss entomologist and agriculturist Hans Rudolf Herren, who has been awarded inteational prizes such as the World Food Prize for his work to stop famine in Africa.
“Wealthy states are getting hold of more and more valuable land in the poor countries, and in two-thirds of these countries, the local population suffers from hunger.”
Herren has for years been one of the inteational agricultural experts denouncing the new phenomenon of ‘land grabbing’. “These lands are generally put to use for agriculture on an industrial scale, for

The initiative demands the end of nuclear energy production in Switzerland by 2029
(Reuters)
Baing construction of nuclear power plants and limiting to 45 years the use of existing ones: that’s what a people’s initiative from the Green Party, to be voted on in November, proposes. It has not been endorsed by the cabinet or by parliament.
On March 11, 2011, dramatic footage from Japan showed the destruction caused by an earthquake and tsunami. The coastal nuclear power plant at Fukushima sustained severe damage. There was worldwide conce, and a few weeks later the Swiss govement aounced its historic decision that “existing nuclear power plants [in Switzerland] should be decommissioned at the end of their safe operational lifespan and not be replaced by new nuclear power plants”.
According to the govement, the lifespan of nuclear power plants, based on technical safety criteria, is “about 50 years”. This was too long for the Greens, who want to walk away from nuc

King Bhumibol of Thailand, who reigned for seven decades, died in hospital aged 88
(Keystone)
Thailand’s King Bhumibol Adulyadej has died at the age of 88, having ascended to the throne in 1946 to become the world’s longest-serving monarch. Early in his reign, he lived and worked in the Swiss city of Lausae.
“King Bhumibol discovered his passion for music in Lausae, first as a musician and later as a composer,” reads the book “King Bhumibol and the Thai Royal Family in Lausae.” The book contains the memories of Cléon Séraïdaris, who served the king’s family for 26 years.
Bhumibol Adulyadej lived in Switzerland on and off between 1933 and 1951, in a villa in the town of Pully near Lausae. He lived there with his mother, sister and brother Ananda Mahidol, who was king before him. The family often took holidays in cantons Valais and Graubünden.
Bhumibol was fascinated by photography, skiing, fast cars and nature. He received his baccalaureate at a canto

Fear of an excess of foreigners and isolationism: Donald Trump’s political profile is a Swiss invention.
By Michael Herma
Whenever the US election campaign lurches into new extremes – as is the case at the moment – people often ask: “Will this American trend engulf us, too?” The US is something like the centre of the world and is often ahead of the times. New topics and debates that cause a furore over there often find their way across the Atlantic to Europe and Switzerland.
Should we now expect “Trumpification” to reach us? It is actually the other way round. This megalomaniac mogul embodies the American oversize-culture with every fibre of his being. His political agenda, however, dances to a very European tune. He has unwittingly created a political profile in the US that is a Swiss invention.

ABB's YuMi robot can work, uncaged, alongside humans
(AFP)
It is hoped that robots can stem, or even reverse creeping deindustrialisation. An automated future is already becoming a reality in Switzerland.
Squeezed by the strong franc some Swiss firms have been moving production to cheaper countries since currency imbalances have made Swiss exports uncompetitive in many markets, particularly Europe. This was sharpened by the Swiss National Bank’s decision in January 2015 to abandon its defence of the franc.
The last great hope of Swiss-based industry appears to lie in the latest technological iovations, which can stem the exodus of factories: Robots that can work alongside humans, sensors that can detect potential defects in the production line and intelligent software that harmonise all the working parts – from construction and assembly to logistics and ordering new materials.

Over a century the percentage of over-65s has risen from 6% to 18% of the total population
(Keystone)
The Swiss population is extremely dynamic and much better educated than in the past, but it is also getting much older, new figures show.
According to the results of the 2010-2014 census presented by the Federal Statistical Office on Monday, the Swiss population has doubled in 80 years, growing from 4.1 million in 1932 to 8.2 million in 2014.
But the increase varies depending on the region and its relative economic strength. Zurich, which has a population of 1.5 million, is the most inhabited canton. It is followed by Be, with just over one million residents and Vaud with 760,000.
In 2014, there were around 100,000 more Swiss women than men. This is the case in most cantons, except for those in central and northeaste regions such as Glarus, Thurgau, Appenzell Outer-Rhodes and Appenzell Ier-Rhodes.

From the 1950s children bo in Switzerland with no clear biological gender were given surgery or hormones to assign them a gender. A scientific review in Zurich aims to shed more light into this dark chapter of medical history.

The idyllic communes Arth-Goldau in canton Schwyz
(RDB)
Nestled between deep blue Lake Zug, majestic Mount Rigi and the greenery of farmland and forests, the villages of Goldau, Oberarth and Arth in canton Schwyz look typically Swiss. Yet their citizens have a hybrid form of democracy that is almost unique within Switzerland.
Rather than voting with a show of hands, the archetype of democracy and method used in many of the nation’s over 2,350 municipalities, the people here vote by secret ballot. This is the case in nearly all 30 municipalities in canton Schwyz.
While larger municipalities usually have a parliament, most small and medium-sized ones hold public meetings twice a year so that residents can make decisions about the fate of their village. There, the local govement presents the issues, and the citizens vote on them. A raised hand signals approval.
But in Arth, this is only the case for the budget and other municipal finance questions. For other issues, the town hall

Swiss companies must comply with human rights and environmental standards when they operate abroad – or be brought to account before Swiss courts. This is the demand of the Corporate Responsibility people’s initiative that was handed in to the Federal Chancellery in Be on Monday.

Bubbling ozone gas through wastewater is one way to neutralise micropollutants – a growing environmental threat.

Are systems designed to remove micropollutants from wastewater treatment plants enough to protect lakes and rivers? That’s what the Swiss govement is betting on.
Many of us think nothing of flushing some expired medication, washing our faces with a fancy foaming cleanser, or attacking a mouldy shower with a heavy-duty detergent. But putting these substances down the drain can harm the environment, just like tossing litter onto the ground can.
Many pharmaceuticals, personal care products and household chemicals contain compounds called “micropollutants”. The term can describe microscopic traces of chemicals, or pollutants that are visible to the human eye, such as bits of plastic or foam under 5mm in diameter. They are also found in industrial fertilizers and pesticides.
Once they enter the sewage system, micropollutants make their way to wastewater

The Spanish-Swiss architect lives between New York and Zurich. In 1990 he rebuilt Zurich’s Stadelhofen’s station, transforming it from an unassuming transit station into a design that used his signature structures with fluid curves and skeletal forms.

The design for a new building by Calatrava was recently presented. The new office building, commissioned by the Swiss insurance company AXA Winterthur, will be integrated into Stadelhofen train station’s public space. A five-storey high glass building with a grass topped roof, it will also include space for use by the public to park up to 1,000 bikes. The building is expected to be completed in 2020.

Democracy must become much more diverse and involve greater experimentation, says Birgitta Jónsdóttir, co-founder of the Icelandic Pirate Party, whose platform includes direct democracy and greater govement transparency. The group could get its first taste of real power at the Icelandic parliamentary elections on October 29.

That is how I see democracy for 2030 and beyond,” Jónsdóttir told the audience at the Geneva Graduate Institute during a recent panel discussion looking at the future of democracy.

The free movement of people accord is in the line of fire as Europe battles with its migration crisis. But which European countries have more people leaving than arriving? We took a look at the data.
It's over 14 years since the free movement of people accord between Switzerland and the European Union came into force. Thanks to this deal, Swiss and EU citizens can study, work and retire in any EU country and in the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) zone of Norway, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Iceland.
The free movement of people is one the EU's four basic rights guaranteed by the accrord, along with that of goods, finance and services.

A short Instagram clip by a Brazilian travel blogger that paints Switzerland’s mountains in a dramatically stuing light has gone viral. A coincidence? Not quite.
The video begins unspectacularly. And that’s an important part of its success. After an unremarkable shot of someone stepping into the new pool at the Hotel Honegg over Lake Lucee, the viewer’s attention is grabbed by the range of mountains in the distance, and for a short moment the pool appears to become part of the lake way down in the valley.
This clip generated millions of clicks on countless platforms

A Swiss city that is closed in on two sides by Germany and France shows its efforts to do away with borders (SRF/swissinfo.ch/cp)
The underlying theme of the Basel 2020 Inteational Building Exhibition, “Growing together across borders”, is inspired by the particular location of Switzerland’s third-most-populous city.
Basel City, a canton in itself covering 27 kilometres (17 miles), shares more of its borders with neighbouring countries Germany and France than it does with the rest of Switzerland.

Town hall meetings in Switzerland are generally poorly attended, undermining their political legitimacy. Researchers have revealed details about a form of direct democracy with a long tradition.
Four-fifths of Switzerland’s roughly 2,300 municipalities, particularly in the German-speaking part of the country, hold regular town hall meetings. They are a key element of citizens’ participation in local politics and to some extent take the role of elected local parliaments.
But attendance has been decreasing over the past 30 years and young citizens are noticeably absent, according to political scientist Andreas Ladner of the University of Lausae.
In an article initially published by the German-language DeFacto platform for political and social sciences, Ladner shows that older citizens and long-time residents

The arts are one of the major beneficiaries of crowdfunding in Switzerland. But that isn’t to say that every project is successful – far from it. Without a good social media network, campaigns don’t stand a chance. Less popular art forms also struggle.
In 2015, Swiss users raised around CHF6 million ($6.1 million) for more than 500 arts projects via reward-based crowdfunding, or “crowd supporting” (see box), even though this particular means of fundraising is still in its infancy in Switzerland.

Only a third of all asylum seekers accepted by Switzerland have found work after seven years. Canton Graubünden is doing better than average with over 40% of refugees integrated into the job market. Part of the reason is Graubünden’s job coaching project.

After they have received their residence permits, the refugees are given a three-week trial period to try their hand at different careers. The coaches’ goal is to prepare them for the real job market as quickly as possible.

The next frontier in space exploration is usually left to govements and scientists to decide, but the European Space Agency (ESA) decided to ask ordinary citizens directly in a series of forums like this one held in Switzerland.
About 100 people came together at Lucee’s Transport Museum to exchange ideas on where space travel should head in the coming years and decades. The debate was the brainchild of Jan Woeer, the new director of the ESA. He felt that everyday citizens are the ones who benefit from space exploration through satellites that provide telecommunications and GPS, and therefore they should have a say in how their money is spent on such endeavours. On average, the ESA costs European taxpayers 12 euros (CHF13) per year.
