Send us a textOn Inside Geneva this week, aid agencies count the costs of funding cuts. “I am most sad for all the millions of people living with HIV and affected by HIV whose lives have been upended. They have lost access to life-saving medication. They have showed up at clinics for support, only to find no one there to help them,” says Angeli Achrekar, Deputy Executive Director for the Programme Branch at the Joint United Nations (UN) Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS). The cuts are hitting women and girls especially hard.“Right now, a woman dies from a preventable form of maternal mortality every two minutes. That's unacceptable. One of the grants that the United States has just cut supports the training and salaries of midwives,” says Sarah Craven, Director of the Washington Office of UNFPA, the UN Population Fund. What will happen to local NGOs in crisis zones that relied on UN support?“I have to have hope. I am the leader of the Sudanese Red Crescent Society. I have staff and 12,000 volunteers behind me. So, I always have to be really strong and give hope to everyone to continue serving Sudan,” says Aida Al-Sayed Abdullah, Secretary General of the Sudanese Red Crescent Society.But could the cuts bring much-needed reform?“Sure, the humanitarian system isn't perfect. It can be inefficient and a little bit colonialistic at times. But it was delivering results. We were seeing actual progress. Now, in just a few months, decades of progress will be erased,” says Dorian Burkhalter, SWI swissinfo.ch journalist.Or will the cuts cost lives and cause more crisis?“We're so close to ending AIDS, full stop. Now, we could very well be turning back completely. All those years of work, dedication and progress,” says Achrekar.Get in touch!

According to the Federation of the Swiss watch industry (FH), Switzerland produces around 15 to 20 million watches a year — which is a minuscule amount that represents around 2% of global timepiece manufacturing. However, this is a clear case of quality over quantity. This tiny nation, as reported by the news outlet SWI swissinfo, commands more than a 50% share of the global watch industry in value terms, and more than 95% of watches sold for CHF 1,000 (just over USD $1,100) or more are produced by Swiss companies. Translation: Switzerland dominates when it comes to the luxury segment of the watch market. Watch enthusiasts recognize the cachet of the Swiss-made label, and the country reigns supreme when it comes to fine timepieces. So, if Switzerland dominates the luxury watch segment, which luxury watch brands dominate within that prestigious circle? Listen to this episode to discover the top 10 luxury watch brands, as told by the numbers.If you like what you're listening to please let us know!

But it just seems like the more global our problems are becoming, the weaker the UN is also becoming.' But is the biggest event of the year the US election? Nick Cumming-Bruce, contributor, New York Times: ‘It's hard to top the US election because it's already dominating the conversation on everything else that we've covered in 2024.' What could an isolationist America first strategy mean for the UN, and for the multilateral system? Dawn Clancy, UN correspondent, New York: ‘Pulling out of the Paris Agreement, or the WHO, threatening to cut funding, the US is the biggest funder of the UN, billions of dollars. So it's just going to be chaos and no leadership.' Are we on the verge of a new world order, without the guardrails of international law, or the Geneva Conventions?  Imogen Foulkes, host, Inside Geneva: ‘The world is changing, while I'm watching, in terms of our fundamental principles, the world is changing while I'm watching, and for a while I didn't even quite notice it.'  Join us on Inside Geneva for an in-depth discussion of 2024, and some predictions for 2025. Get in touch!

We'll give our take on the watches themselves, and how they play into a watch collection, but more specifically we focus today on the value proposition from Longines, and ask the question "Are you getting a good deal with a Longines watch?"   Subscribe to get new episode notifications (Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all other directories) and follow us on Social Media @strapandlink!   Show Notes: (1:11) - Longines Recap (5:46) - New Watch Alert: Rolex Yacht-Master Rhodium (18:47) - Mailbag (26:21) - Legend Diver (36:49) - HydroConquest GMT (43:09) - Mini Dolce Vita (54:24) - Master Collection   Please subscribe to get notifications when new episodes are released (Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all other directories) and follow us on Social Media @strapandlink!  

The world is marking an important anniversary: the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. After the Second World War, this was supposed to be our "never again" moment. The  Universal Declaration of Human Rights promises us the right to live, to freedom of expression, the right not to be tortured, to equality regardless of gender, race or religion. So how's that working out? Throughout 2023 SWI swissinfo.ch has been talking to the men and women who have led the United Nations' human rights work. In this edition of Inside Geneva, we highlight those exclusive interviews.Please have a look at this video interview of  Volker Türk, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.  Why does protecting human rights matter more than ever?Please sign up for our newsletter for Swiss Democracy.

Artificial intelligence chatbots like ChatGPT generate remarkably human-like results. But how intelligent is it really? SWI swissinfo.ch visits Lab42, a new AI lab in Davos, which is deploying playful techniques to better understand the fundamentals of human intelligence.In addition to the annual World Economic Forum (WEF) gathering, Davos is home to several leading research institutes. The newest is Lab 42, which opened its doors in July 2022, an AI lab that aims to better understand the fundamentals of human intelligence. The experts working at the research institute in southeast Switzerland are convinced that decoding the human brain is the key to developing AI that can help humanity solve big issues like the climate crisis or finding cancer treatments.In the last episode of our "Exploring Science in Davos" series, we hear from the team at Lab42 about how they plan to develop human-level AI. Gamers participate in their research. Lab42 works as a hub, creating competitions and platforms where talented individuals and experts from all over the world bring their ideas to solve problems and exercises together in a playful way.This podcast is an audio version of the SWI swissinfo.ch video series with the same title.  Find out more about science research in Switzerland on www.swissinfo.ch/sciencePlease sign up for our Free newsletter on Swiss Democracy.  SWI swissinfo.ch is a public service media company based in Bern Switzerland.

When and where the next avalanche will happen is hard to predict. In a special cold laboratory in Davos, researchers simulate the effects of wind on fresh snow to better understand the mechanisms that trigger avalanches.For centuries, avalanches have posed a threat to mountain farmers and their livestock. With the development of winter tourism, roads, railways and hydropower plants, the interest in avalanche research and protective measures has grown.The origins of the WSL Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF date back to 1936, when a small group of researchers moved into a snow lab on the Weissfluhjoch summit above Davos. Today the institute monitors the conditions of avalanches throughout Switzerland, investigates the effects of climate change on snow cover and operates the national avalanche warning service.Researchers at the SLF study how snow is built up and how it changes under various conditions, how avalanches occur and how they move over the terrain. In this episode of "Exploring Science in Davos" we take you inside the institute's cold chambers.This podcast is an audio version of the SWI swissinfo.ch video series with the same title.  Find out more about science research in Switzerland on www.swissinfo.ch/sciencePlease sign up for our Free newsletter on Swiss Democracy.

Solar irradiance provides heat and light for life. It waxes and wanes with the cycle of solar activity, which currently cannot be predicted accurately. Solar storms can have a great impact on technology. In February 2022, a solar storm destroyed 40 Starlink satellites from Elon Musk's company SpaceX. Researchers in Davos are collaborating on several space experiments to find out more about solar physics.In 1904 the Prussian businessman Carl Dorno travelled to Davos with his daughter, who was suffering from tuberculosis. In those days the Alpine town was a health resort for tuberculosis patients. As an amateur meteorologist, he began to build scientific instruments with the aim of investigating how the climate influenced our health. This was the birth of the Physical Meteorological Observatory Davos (PMOD).In the early 1970s, the observatory also became home to an international calibration centre for radiation measurements, the World Radiation Center (WRC). The radiometers developed there are used by weather stations all over the world, not only on the ground but also in space. For instance, two instruments are on board the Solar Orbiter, a Sun-observing satellite developed by the European Space Agency (ESA).To make more accurate predictions about climate change, researchers in Davos need to better understand solar cycles, which last about 11 years. Why is there a lot of activity in some cycles and very little in others? Understanding these mechanisms also helps predict solar flares, which can interfere with technologies such as electricity grids, navigation and communications.In this episode of our Science in Davos series, PMOD/WRC director Louise Harra gives us an insight into the research with the Solar Orbiter instruments.This podcast is an audio version of the SWI swissinfo.ch video series with the same title.  Find out more about science research in Switzerland on www.swissinfo.ch/scienceHosted by: Jo FahyJournalist: Sara IbrahimJournalist/Sound: Michele AndinaPlease sign up for our Free newsletter on Swiss Democracy.

The small city of Davos in southeastern Switzerland, located at an altitude of 1,560m above sea level in the Swiss Alps, attracted tuberculosis patients back in the 1800s and 1900s after scientists discovered that clean mountain air had a positive effect on their health. However, with the development of antibiotics, the sanatoriums eventually lost their purpose. Today that same clean Davos air, marked by the absence of tree pollen, such as birch, oak or alder, minimal air pollution and extremely low amounts of indoor dust mites – presumably because of the cooler and dryer climate – is a draw for asthma and allergy patients seeking treatment in the town's clinics.Allergic diseases have become more prevalent in recent decades. They now affect more than one billion people worldwide, with estimates suggesting there could be up to four billion sufferers by 2050. While the reasons for this are not yet fully understood, experts believe several factors can contribute significantly to developing chronic diseases. Today we are exposed to many pollutants, such as chemical substances in our diet or cosmetics, worsening air pollution and microplastics.Thanks to the proximity to allergy patients and the ability to analyse various biosamples, Davos has become an ideal location for research and experiments in this field.As they pursue their exploration of the scientific side of the resort, Sara Ibrahim and Michele Andina visit the Swiss Institute of Allergy and Asthma Research (SIAF), where around 50 biologists, biochemists and physicians are working to understand what's causing allergic diseases and find preventive and curative treatments.This podcast is an audio version of the SWI swissinfo.ch video series with the same title.  Find out more about science research in Switzerland on www.swissinfo.ch/sciencePlease sign up for our Free newsletter on Swiss Democracy.

Before 1960, broken bones were treated simply by using plaster casts or traction. Then 13 Swiss surgeons began rethinking fracture treatment: they standardised instruments, screws and nails, scientifically evaluated every operation, and started training surgeons. On their tour of Davos's scientific communities, Sara and Michele go behind the scenes to see what new technologies are currently being developed.The AO Foundation in Davos has been a leader in research into the healing of bone fractures for decades. Today, more than 100 scientists and PhD students from all over the globe work at the AO Research Institute Davos (ARI), which is focused on pre-clinical research. They study biomechanics and the biology of bones, discs and cartilage, and work on new surgical techniques, tools and devices, such as "smart" implants that measure bone healing in patients.Some of ARI's work depends on tests with live animals to ensure that studies are not affected by any hidden issues that would prevent the translation of a concept or implant to patient treatments. ARI recently set up a barn for so-called “specific-pathogen-free” (SPF) sheep. For sheep to be deemed SPF, they are separated from conventional sheep and kept in a purpose-built stable. However, the goal is to gradually reduce the dependence on, and even someday completely forgo, animal tests. Several projects at the ARI are aimed at achieving this.This podcast is an audio version of the SWI swissinfo.ch video series with the same title.  Find out more about science research in Switzerland on www.swissinfo.ch/sciencePlease sign up for our Free newsletter on Swiss Democracy.  SWI swissinfo.ch is a public service media company based in Bern Switzerland.

Read this statement: ‘If you are aiming to improve an area of your life, you want to use your time in the most effective and powerful way.' Do you agree with this statement? I'm pretty sure most of you will.  Unfortunately, a lot of people don't apply it when they are trying to grow. They… Just do what they have always done in the past Put their focus on the wrong things Don't spend time understanding and developing the most effective pathway forward This can lead to a place where their progress is slow and frustrating. In developing a growth pathway, we want to make sure we are using our energy in the most effective way possible so we can quickly create impactful change and continue to evolve down this path. I have a technique that I use when I'm trying to grow which massively helps me achieve effective and fast growth. In this week's video, I'm going to teach you how I use it and how you can apply it to the areas you want to grow in.

Nous sommes dans les années 1915 dans les rues de New York. Dans le Lower East Side, qui est à cette époque-là un quartier pauvre et malfamé, où s'entassent les émigrés juifs venus des pays de l'Est, on croise la route d'un garçon d'une dizaine d'années. Originaire de Pologne, il est arrivé en Amérique quand il avait 9 ans, sous le nom de "Maier Suchowljansky". L'histoire retiendra son nom anglicisé : Meyer Lansky. En 1931, Al Capone est écroué pour fraude fiscale. Meyer Lansky, devenu un des boss de la mafia Cosa Nostra grâce à son génie des mathématiques, a alors un déclic : pour que l'argent sale généré par les activités illicites du réseau n'éveille aucun soupçon, il faut le blanchir dans des entreprises légales. Avec son associé Charles Luciano, plus connu sous le surnom de "Lucky", Meyer Lansky va alors développer un empire des jeux d'argent, et transférer ses fonds dans une banque de Genève grâce notamment aux "porteurs de valises"…Les secrets de Meyer Lansky sont restés enfouis pendant des années. Pour remonter le fil de ses pratiques frauduleuses et comprendre qui a inventé le blanchiment d'argent moderne, les journalistes d'investigation Marie Maurisse et François Pilet sont notamment allés enquêter dans les dossiers des archives fédérales de Berne.Le podcast "Dangereux millions" vous raconte comment la Suisse est devenue la lessiveuse des escrocs du monde entier. Bienvenue dans le monde feutré du crime financier. Qui, dans cet épisode, nous emmène des casinos de Las Vegas jusque dans l'arrière-cour d'une banque de Genève. C'est là que la mafia américaine blanchissait ses billets verts."Dangereux Millions", un podcast coproduit par le média public SWI swissinfo.ch, le service d'information en ligne de la Société suisse de radiodiffusion, et Europe 1 Studio, avec Gotham City.Mots-clés : Meyer Lansky - Mafia - Genève - Suisse - New-York - Etats-Unis - Pologne - Charles Luciano - Cosa Nostra - Sébastien Guex - casino - Las Vegas - Cuba - Flamingo - Banque de Crédit International - Tibor Rosenbaum - nazisme -  Prohibition - Miami - Sylvain Ferdmann - Life - Berne - l'inspecteur Laperrouza CREDITS : Réalisation et composition des musiques originales : Julien Tharaud Direction SWI swissinfo.ch : Jo Fahy Direction Europe 1 Studio : Fannie Rascle Conseil éditorial : Susanne Reber Relecture : Virginie Mangin Archives SWI swissinfo.ch : Caroline Honegger Archives Europe 1 : Laetitia Casanova, Benoît Muckensturm et Sylvaine Denis Illustration : Kai Reusser Promotion SWI swissinfo.ch : Xin Zhang et Carlo PisaniPromotion et Diffusion Europe 1 Studio : Kelly Decroix et Eloïse Bertil
