"And we will be able to answer these questions. And as state secretary duffel is present and also the director of the financial administration is present, I would like to thank all of those involved. Internally and all of those who are sitting here at the top table who have been working day and night to bring about this favorable solution. And you're listening to Bloomberg radio, let's go back now to the press conference being held by members of the Swiss government in Bern Switzerland about the historic takeover of Credit Suisse group by UBS group. That would have been the best solution and we regret this because many thousand employees are going to be affected, but we are convinced that the employer is going to give them some certainty as quickly as possible. And that's our expectation that we know what's going to happen. The federal council also regrets and deep laws that the bank would use to be a showcase for Switzerland and part of our strong economy ended up in this situation. Still has many solid parts of the business. It's got a very good workforce and especially it's a well recognized Swiss bank but unfortunately the loss of the confidence of the markets and of the clients was something that was we were unable to stop but by the takeover by UBS we want to restore this confidence and they take over by UBS from the point of view of the federal council. It's the best solution possible, but this solution is also tied to risks. The risks for the government and for the taxpayers. For the financial harpers, the economy for our country as a whole, but also for the international financial stability is a lot lower than in any other scenario. Let me repeat. And the failure of a systemic irrelevant banker would have had the severe repercussions globally and in Switzerland and Switzerland needs to be aware of its own responsibility beyond beyond its own borders the federal council is convinced that the takeover of credit is by UBS is creating a basis for more stability, both in Switzerland as well as internationally. Irreparable economic turmoil in Switzerland and throughout the world. For this reason, Switzerland had to take the responsibilities beyond its and they caused some type of markdowns. But other than that, the business is so healthy and innovation is not going to be stopped. Well, Alan, I mean, you're now with prime time partners, right? You founded that along with that. Levy, who was the former SVP of SoulCycle, you're goal, your mandate as words to invest in early stage startups that bring products and services to individuals above the age of 60, which of course is 25% of the world's population. My question for you is, those are early stage startups that you're investing in. Would you tell them to bank at some mid and small sized regional banks going forward or were you encouraged them to be banking at the big ones? The JPMorgan's the citigroups of the world. I don't want to answer that question directly. But I would say that for the moment, I think they continue bank as usual. But remember, these early early stage deals, they're not doing too much banking. They're really the relying almost entirely on equity capital. All right. Going to leave it on that note. Alan, always good to get some time with you. And so appreciate it. Alan Patrick off is chairperson and cofounder prime time partners joining us via new zoom excuse me in New York City and his book is no red lights, reflections on live 50 years of venture capital and never driving alone. Did you know he really likes music? Cal, did you know Alan ran at 88 years old in New York City marathon last year? And he finished and he finished. He's pretty remarkable. Unbelievable. And so delighted to have him here. And just, you know, I feel like calm, right? Like it's not like the no, it's not good. It's got feel better now if you're talking to Alan yet. Our thanks once again to Alan Patrick off, Damien sasser Bloomberg intelligence, chief emerging market credit strategist there as well. Damien is back with us in our next hour. You're listening to Bloomberg business week. Up next, we turn to a different corner of the economy that always keeps a close watch on inflation and interest rates. The auto sector. And specifically, the car components market will speak with the CEO of publicly traded car parts dot com. So for me, the last three years have been about availability and trying to figure out a way to connect the dot between the supply and the demand. But today it's more about what value can we deliver for the customer and how can we be there for them in times of need? This is Bloomberg. By finma S and B, the federal government and both banks sustainable solution for the future. But to be found to report a successful implementation of the takeover announced today, the national bank is now going to make available comprehensive liquidity which can be drawn as needed. And let me explain this briefly. Both banks have unlimited access to the existing facilities of S and B, which is provided by monetary instruments over and above that and based on the emergency regulations of the federal council, phase three and UBS have a liquidity loan to the tune of overall up to a CHF 100 billion. In addition and based on the emergency regulations of the federal council to the national bank of Credit Suisse, this is connected to a liquidity alone to the tune of CHF 1 billion. The exact details of the alone is based on the public liquidity backstop and this is something that the federal council decided as early as 2022 the new financial instruments, the public liquidity backed up corresponds to the international standard. The financial stability board explicitly approved this as part of the framework in order. To guarantee the tube avoid the collapse of a positive potentially systemic bank, it was indispensable that we acted quickly and found a solution as quickly as possible. Its size and its global operations. It is considered a systemically relevant bank. And this means that the in case of its collapse, this could lead to financial repercussions, globally, and therefore also be very detrimental to the reputation of Switzerland. This reputation is vital for the wealth management business of the Swiss banking sector, as well as for its economy. The current solution provides that relevant functions are being maintained and this is access of households and SMEs on the deposits as well as the ability to draw on open credit facilities and also to roll matured to credit. It's about making liquidity available to the Swiss economy against this background. Measures were to be taken in order to avoid contagion and the collapse of a systemically relevant bank and to decrease the repercussions on the public. Through providing liquidity, it is ensured that both banks have the required liquidity, the national bank. Giving a liquidity bailout. To contribute to the stability of the banking sector. And it cooperates with the federal council and the finma. Thank you very much and now the chairman of Finn mar Marin Amsterdam. President and everybody on the top table ladies and gentlemen. Today, thanks to a joined effort of the authorities and the two large banks we were able to bring about the sustainable solution to an acute and very serious problem. This is a very important step. Which is to protect the depositors as well as the reputation of Switzerland as a financial hub. As of October 2022, the social media triggered rumors on massive outflows from Credit Suisse by its clients nevertheless, the bank met the regulatory minimum requirements both with regard to its capital as well as with a view to its capital.

"Were concluded successfully and to bring about the solution was the objective of the federal council is the solid solution which the federal council welcomes and it is a suitable to stabilize the situation of CS and also to give the required guarantees to the financial markets for this merger to come to fruition additional decisions were required which we made today the federal council made available a guarantee to the two of CHF 9 billion in order to cover any risks and reduce them for UBS. This is about the potential defaults and losses based on a specific portfolio, which the UBS will take over as part of the deal. This guarantee will only come into effect if losses of the UBS exceed a certain threshold. It's like a file size backstop and insurance which only comes into effect if a certain losses were occurred and UBS first of all would cover those losses and then in the second instance the federal government would cover those losses and make available of this guarantee. Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me for the additional comments on the decisions taken by the federal council as early as Thursday. In order to guarantee liquidity, these decisions were necessary

The foreign desk with me, Andrew Muller is available every Saturday from midday London time, right here on monocle 24. It's nearly 21 21 in Tokyo 1221 here in London and 7 21 a.m. in a Washington D.C.. You are back with a briefing on a monocle 24. I am Marcus hippie. We're going to get the very latest on this federal council election now. Christophe lenz political editor of das magazine joins us now from the Swiss capital Bern. Christof welcome to the program. Could you first start by explaining how this election works? I think probably I have to explain how the government works in Switzerland because it's quite unique. It's kind of instead of one head of state. There is a team of 7 federal counselors who are equal. And for over 100 years, this team has been formed by the same rainbow coalition of all the major parties. The reason is that Switzerland, although quite small, is an extremely diverse country. The nation is not built around one language, one culture, one religion, one geographic entity, or one history. It is kind of a patchwork. So the founding fathers invented this team government in the hope that the team would allow for a balancing of all these differences. To avoid that one person from one region or one religious group suddenly holds all the power and that the minorities want out. And while the 7 members of the federal council, they are elected for terms of four years by parliament. The next general election will be in exactly one year, but this autumn to federal counselors decided to step down for personal reasons, and today parliament decided with whom they want to fill the vacancies. So who are the two new members of the federal council? Well, there is first Albert rusty. He's a 55 years of age. He's a representative for the Swiss people's party, which is the strongest party in Switzerland. He's from an agrarian background. He despises the European Union at the free movement of people, but he tends to be a polite and well mannered guest in discussions. So parliament trusts him to be a team player and to function well in this team government. And the second new federal counselor is Elizabeth bohm Schneider. She's 58 years of age. She's a member of the social Democrats, and she just as Albert rosti was raised on a farm and then she's still inhabits one. And are these surprises? I'm wondering when you've been in the newsroom as a political journalist how much excitement and energy is there in the air? At least the election of Elizabeth bohm Schneider was quite sensational. You know, I explained how in Switzerland the diffusion of power and the sharing of power within the government play a huge role. So whenever a seat gets vacant, there is kind of a national interior dialog going on about which group should have a go this time. And this goes far beyond party membership. It's about language, it's about gender. It's about how somebody was raised, which profession she has. Does this person have kids? And of course, character is very important when you have kind of a team government. And for all of these reasons, everyone thought this morning that Elizabeth bong Schneider's competitor, if a health talk from Basel, she would hold the better cards because she's a representative of Basel, which is like one of the economic powerhouses of Switzerland. She's quite close to the pharma giants Roche Novartis and lonza and she was everybody was expecting her to win because she could bring in kind of this economic background and she could help the government to keep Switzerland, stay open towards the globalization and trade with other nations. Just find a Christopher, can you try to explain what this change means for Switzerland now also domestically and internationally? Well, if you expect the new federal council to swiftly change course on fundamental issues, I think you're going to be disappointed. Nothing ever happens quickly in Switzerland. But I think it's safe to say that with the new government we are going to see a new opening with the European Union, negotiations about an institutional framework have been stopped by Switzerland a year ago. And I think everybody understands that market access for Switzerland is slowly deteriorating and that there is an ever growing chunk of EU law that Switzerland has to adopt without having to say about it. These problems have been apparent all along, but when you get to change two players in a team of 7, you can probably create a new dynamic. And maybe the new government will be ready to give up some sovereignty and accept an institutional framework for the partnership with the European Union. And then what I'd say secondly is what I already kind of mentioned with the competitor of Elizabeth bohm Schneider. I think we'll see consequences on trade policy. In part, because Elizabeth bong Schneider, with her farming background, appears to be skeptical of new free trade agreements and that threaten farmers in Switzerland. So I think we will not see much on this front like free trade agreements that Switzerland is currently negotiating with the countries of Latin America with the United States. It's always been an issue. Is there going to be a new round? But I think these projects will stay on ice for a couple of years now. Christoph lenz from dust and magazine. Thank you very much for this update. 1226 year in London, you are with the briefing. Enhance

"Now, as we're reporting in our headlines, the Finnish prime minister and her Swedish colleague actually met in Stockholm yesterday. Just tell us a little more about that because it was very much on the same subject. That's right. And I read about this in the finish in Swedish news, but as I have the Financial Times in front of me, it's also on the front page of DFT. So indeed, so prime minister sana Marin and prime minister magdalena Anderson met in Stockholm yesterday. Essentially, to talk about the security landscape in the Nordic countries and more specifically, to coordinate their respective timelines when it comes to the decision making process in Sweden and in Finland or NATO membership and also really coordinated timelines or the date when they would seek membership on prime minister marines part. So I think there are two aspects here. She emphasized the democratic process that has been established in Finland to make a decision. She noted very clearly that all stakeholders that are required all relevant policymakers in Finland are at the tables where decisions are being made regarding NATO membership. So there is a rather unconventional process that has been established in Finland. There's a parliamentary coordination group that cuts across all party lines. So there seems to be broad consensus. And again, a relatively participatory process within the parliament to ensure broad support and then to come to a decision democratically with the support of all political parties in Finland. And in her view, this is absolutely vital to ensure that in the event of any aggression by Russia doing the so called gray zone, the country would remain unified. But also, say, 5, ten, 20, 30 years down the line. We would avoid the situation of Finns. Kind of questioning this application period and why did we run to apply for NATO membership? So there, again, all options would be out on the table. They would be analyzed seriously by all political parties, and only then would Finland seek membership. So with all of this, she did, however, say that we're talking about days, maximum weeks, definitely not months when it comes to Finland. I just want to focus in on your beautiful city now I visited a couple of weeks ago. And I was very impressed as I always am by the transport system. Now the enzyme Z is talking about the transportation department. And in particular, Simone brander, tell us tell us about this. That's right. So on February 13th of this year, Zürich had city elections at the local level and then, of course, for the city council as well. The social Democrats regained their fourth seat on the city council and more broadly the greens and green liberals did ride the well. As well. So now yesterday on Wednesday, the city council distributed, the department among the parties is very much akin to the federal council in Switzerland, where the members in the council get assigned to a particular department. No major changes apart from the transportation department that then the fourth city council member from the social Democrat Simon brander took over and in fact she's the first social Democrat leading this department in 14 years. And said, zooms in on her as a personality and as a politician in Zürich. So she was born in 1978 and has become known as the face and voice of the bicycle lobby in Zürich. So expectations are extremely high for her to increase bike lanes to support biking and pedestrians in Zürich. Perhaps at the expense of cars, and again, very much supporting public transportation in Zürich. And finally, when I was in Zürich, it was because it was a sort of staging post for us to go off to saint Moritz to interview the author ilia Leonard Pfeiffer, whose book grand hotel Europa comes out in English in a couple of weeks time will be focusing on him and the latest may addition of monocle magazine will also carry an interview with him on meet the writers. But the point is, the reason I'm telling you this is it was my very first encounter with ski slopes and a ski lift much to the amusement of my colleagues, but honestly, where did they think of Zimbabwean was going to have encounters? But this means that I do not understand the last headline you've sent. It says ski flying allowed for women ski jumpers. Don't even know. What does that mean? So as a thing I have to point to this story if ski jumping has ever mentioned in the newest sono exactly I picked up this in housing in Santa Marta finished newspaper. So the international ski federation ruled yesterday on Wednesday that women can essentially jump from ski flying hills. So in the sport of ski jumping, they're various types of hills or slopes. Some are longer or taller and some are a bit lower. And ski flying is, in a way, the longest and perhaps most dangerous one, where the distances are the longest. And women have not been allowed to compete in ski flying this far. They have been allowed to compete in normal ski jumping hills since the 2011 2020. 12 season in the World Cup and in 2014 in the Winter Olympics, they also were able to join the normal hill event in ski jumping. But since yesterday, they were allowed to join for this ski flying hills, which means that next year, during the World Cup season in vikas de Norway, 15 a female ski jumpers can for the first time ever join ski flying as well. Excellent. Go, women's ski fliers. Thanks. Talking to us from Zürich. This is the globalist on monocle.

"So it remains to be seen to what to what extent this new development will lead to, for instance, the release of prisoners and really disarming some of the rebel forces. Now, let's stick with the NSAIDs said, because this is a story that interests me personally, my last trip to Zürich had to be canceled because of COVID-19 regulations. But I understand that the federal council is going to meet today to discuss getting rid of all of those restrictions in Switzerland. What does the paper say about that? That's right. So the federal council will meet today and then the rumors have it. So that the health minister alum verse is essentially asking his colleagues or the federal council to lift almost all COVID-19 related restrictions in Switzerland. The only restrictions that would remain in place are the requirements to wear masks on public transportation and in hospitals, nursing homes and facilities of that sort. And very importantly, the federal council, again, if this goes through, would do away with the COVID certificate requirement, which has a restricted the mobility and access of unvaccinated people in Switzerland to restaurants to fitness studios and other indoor establishments. So if this goes through, it will be quite a drastic change and again, rumors have it that it would be rather quick to change already later this week. I mean, is the vaccination take up the big, I mean, I see that there have been protests anti vax protests. There have been various protests, but in fact, an impartially perhaps due to these COVID certificate requirements, vaccination numbers have been going up in Switzerland at some point, so it's the worst in Western Europe, but I think now it's almost 80% of people over the age of 12 that are double vaccinated. So definitely the situation in terms of vaccination rates has improved in Switzerland and then perhaps that gives the federal council on health minister versus some confidence in making these proposals. And is there broad support for that for the lifting of measures? There seems to be so the federal council often before they deliberate amongst themselves they hold consultations with the cantonal authorities and local authorities and they have the cantons and the cantonal governments indeed suggested this doing away of these restrictions and very importantly, what will not be discussed today, but is rumored to be discussed in the coming weeks and months is doing away with the quote unquote special situation under the epidemic act in Switzerland. And this would in a way bring us back to normal governance in Switzerland where the cantonal authorities would have greater say, for instance, when it comes to mask requirements, so again, there seems to be a lot of support at the cantonal level for these restrictions to be removed. Zürich, here I come. Welcome Joe Jaden. To the tags and zygote now and if you have survived COVID, you could live even longer. If you drink coffee apparently. That's right. So great news for everyone who was an avid coffee drinker and I know in Monaco, we love a good cup of coffee. So of course there are these always terrible rumors about coffee being kind of leading to heart problems. Dehydrates you it's things your teeth but targets and Tiger, in fact, reports on a recent and one of the first large scale studies where they've analyzed in this study was published in the European journal of preventive cardiology, so they looked at the data of nearly half a million people living in the United Kingdom so they looked at their MRI scans held data and then kind of cardiovascular issues and really wanted to study this association between coffee consumption and cardiovascular health and luckily to those of us who do enjoy a cup of coffee. They found that the coffee drinkers live longer. In fact, there's a 12% risk of death. And when you look at cardiovascular diseases, they are also less common at the rate of negative 17% and one's risk of stroke is also lowered by 21%. Now what's very important to keep in mind is that they do distinguish between what they call infrequent coffee drinkers. And then moderate slash light coffee drinkers, which means half to three cups per day and then heavy coffee drinkers, which is over three cups a day. And these health promoting effects pertain to this moderate group. So if you have a half to three cups of coffee per day, you should be good. And if you don't, if you drink so much coffee as I do, what happens then? Well, actually, the good news is that this study found out that actually if you drink a lot of coffee so if you belong to this heavy coffee drinker category, they're neither bad nor a good news or effect. So in a way, you can still be relatively happy that at least you're not doing too much damage. Again, I wouldn't say about stating one's teeth, but at least when it comes to cardiovascular diseases, you're not doing any harm. Right. Well, if you eat a lot of cheese, you may well get a cardiovascular disease, but apparently what it tastes like can be affected by music. Tell us more about this. Look, this is an interesting story. I read in helsing in Santa Marta. So the biggest newspaper in Finland is study being done at the university of turku, where exactly they studied the effect that music and soundwaves have on the microbiology of cheese. So they put 12 big wheels of cheese that normally would have been left by themselves to ripen for four months. They put in a place where they could essentially play music and sound directly on top of these wheels of cheese and they found out that it ripens their speeds up the ripening process and really changes the flavor. And then in this article, they also refer to an earlier 2019 Swiss research where they did similar research that they played music. And then it blind taste and in fact, the blind tasting found out that really the flavor of cheese changes. And what's different with this new piece of research is that they also studied the micro biological components of cheese and those do indeed get influenced by music. I wonder if it gets influenced in different ways, depending on what you play, does it go into that at all. Maybe it's got one reaction to classical and another to pop. Not actually does. So what it comes down to is the tempo apparently and that of course varies from one genre of music to another and the hope is that if you manage to speed up the ripening process, this could in the long term save energy, and then perhaps there's one curiosity in the 2019 Swiss resurgence. They found out the best emmental cheese is the one that got played the song we got it from here by the hip hop group a tribe called quest. So it can be rather specific. Extraordinary. Emily, thank you very much, indeed..

Also i've been a pentecostal service and There was some speaking in tongues. Stuff was very outside. I experience so that kind of stuff doesn't work for me. I'm i'm more comfortable. In a coptic orthodox church where the liturgy is in copped. Which is the arabic version of latin basically and arabic than i am at some of these other. Yeah okay. that's how. That's how. I feel catholic church like i don't i don't i feel a little awkward. The whole like kneel or sit down. And like i feel really i always really out of place. Your a whole or an entire service builds up to communion. You can't go. i can't go. So i'm like i'm going to the whole thing and i don't even get the treat at the end you know. Get a blessing.

"Like you sound like joey from friends tries to learn front. Sounds exactly the same to me about Yes last week here is slow on your course or by now. Goodbye i know quite a bit of profanity in russian. And i learned the profanity because when i was in college there was a guy who was a linguist and i were in. Rotc together he was a marine former listed was becoming an officer and he had taken a russian at the defense language institute in monterrey. Which you have to. If you're going to be like intel person yet take language there so learn how this all these colloquialisms and all these. i mean. just filthy filthy. So i those. I don't have any problem coming coming to mind. I don't know why i will. I will say because we never know. We may have some russian speaking listeners. And that would be offensive. Thank it'd be a soundbite though and no no no right russian words okay. So let's get back on top or begin. We never started. Okay so world communion you kind of gave the ordinance. Can you tell us how it came to be. So it started. In nineteen thirty-three at church called shady side presbyterian in pittsburgh pennsylvania. Why what. The story is one. That particular pastor decided to start it but then nineteen forty the federal council of churches as it was known then actually federal councillor federal council of churches of christ in america adopted it and so it became kind of national ecumenical not holiday but commemoration. Then it wasn't that was in the middle of world war two. Or i guess of at the beginning of world war two for us actually before the war for us but the world was quickly headed that direction so became a kind of a symbol of unity. Yeah in a broken world and now that federal council. I think it's called the national church council of churches googled some stuff i was just curious..

"Ms paul is a lawyer. As i mentioned in previous episodes She was elected as the green party leader in october. Twenty twenty and the green saw their share of the popular vote fall from six point fifty five percent in twenty nineteen to two point. Three percent fundraising challenges. Meant that While other party leave so while other party leaders. travelled widely in canada and searched for votes miss. Paul rarely left toronto center because they weren't able to fundraise enough for her to travel throughout canada's correct. That's by design right absolutely you know. They sat up failure right absolutely Because they're like oh. We thought that you'd be like our representation puppet right and she's like nah the don't work like that so The limited campaign effort followed silly women that you could retain your dignity throughout this women's the limited Campaign effort followed months of conflict between ms paul and members of the parties governing federal council which sought at times to oust her Also the greens only nominated candidates in two hundred and fifty two ridings. Not all i mean ouster on. There are trying to fuck with her. Basically damn yeah and so. The green zone only nominated candidates in two hundred and fifty two writings. Not all three hundred and thirty eight. The embattled green leader would have face a leadership review within six months as as is routine after federal election and would have needed to secure sixty percent support to keep her job. So i totally get it. Why she stepped down. You are trying to fuck with har- aloha that's a lot of work for a black woman. And the now that she this that she has lost then she'd have to deal with a six months review like a you know leadership review within six months. I get it. She didn't wanna go through that headache. What i mean. So it's is. I think it's for her mental health and sanity and just to kind of move forward and write that book book so before the election degrees lost their only seat outside british columbia. I'll be right back. I need to get my battery. My i need the plug. My laptop rookie shirley. I didn't even say anything. I spin and nice to meet. You just met this seven.

And he has The psychology. The profiling if i could say of computer scientists and more than that at technology Free because picture Yep and so two to come we can come back to this bet. I had to make the historical chronology of his involvement to w to understand. So i went through this I think your auditors can really dig into this much more. Because is so much easier. I get into this file. I find new a new new papers. So i have shared with you many and i hope that they can use it for the chronology The global vaccine alliance has actually created a foundation in geneva under swiss law. And there are many ngos in geneva. You can create an joe. I can do one for you in england. Our this headline the federal council concludes a host country remain with the gobbly alliance global lions having taken into account that the task of the lines are of a state nature together with the preeminence of the public sector in its representation and financing the federal council invoking. The host state act decided to conclude host country agreement with the garvey alliance thereby conferring on the same privileges and immunities as those normally granted to an inter governmental organization. Delay terms. Does that sounds to me like basically when we say. We can't touch a diplomat in america because they're diplomat from another nation. They made garvey untouchable in switzerland that they are basically like a diplomatic group. That can't be touched. And yes absolutely i actually. That's the document that triggered my search because some undercover with a lower. Give me documents a look at this as They have total in unity. And i was finding more and more documents On the website of the swiss federal concentration of the swiss government would signatures and agreements between gabby swiss medic which is the idea of the us and So government gabby government gabby. Who made agreements. And i thought this is wrong. That's not right. And so. I read this paper and they have not only totally unique. They have not only total. Immunity have more immunity than member states. And the you can find a document on the the federal government Website that it's infringe on german and italian. It's our three national languages so you have to translate them but i can just tell you the points. They don't pay tax at all They can They have total immunity and more than member states because they don't need to declare anything whatever they do whatever. They spend whatever they have in their suitcases. Whatever when you know geneva an international city we have more meetings in the united in geneva than york yet to see how many agencies we have we have The world trade organization the international telecommunication union by the way or the ministers of telecommunication assemble the wto with ministers of health the iowa with ministers of labour the refugee with a mistress. Taking care of your life sheets so you can go on and on and they have everything here. They have the and it's very easy to access in geneva as an ngo once. You have your accreditation. So i have no doubt the had a facility of accreditation to the united nation. I'm represent Actually an american ngo academic since twenty years. So i know very well how operating and how you can do statements and how you can lobby and they can do this all the time so not. Only they had this very quickly but they had access to all the agencies all the ministers very easily and they became from an ngo that they created in two thousand six that created a found an ngo then a foundation from the foundation it became an international organization. That has more power almost than the united nations organization. Actually might my hypothesis is that they are higher as a melting national over. The government's there is a hidden governance behind the united nations. Clearly today Because they don't obey to the way member states can give a voice. Have you heard any minister of health having contradictory voice to what. Who does no. It hasn't been a huge sweden sweden. I think yeah sweden but they catch them up later with vaccine campaign. Because i was in sweden were nice. stuck on peace summit covet. It's now translated in english. So i can also give you that sits available. It was in december and we chose that because there was facility. It was easy to come there so when we came no mosque december. Everybody was locked down and that The professor techno which are invited to to open That day said to me a very strange message. He said i cannot common attend because there is a pandemic but he was had voice to say. There is no pandemic in sweden. So i could see. There was a change in the room. We occupied The day before we went to visit it and there were organizing the campaign of vaccination in sweden in december. So i think they thought okay. We lost that battle but we have no problem with the next battle and the king of sweden of two. We left his. You know they're using everybody they can that they can krupp. So the king of sweden said we have to get vaccinated so you get it there But i'm picturing in geneva then is do they have a complex. I mean is there. I mean there must be a large established base than because one of the questions we've been having on the high wire and i've said it i don't feel like my government is necessarily decisions are being made from inside my borders anymore especially with the size of what this pandemic has become. It's overridden all of our policies. It's taking away our freedoms it's kept us from being able to work. It's you know it's taking a right to make a living to walk down the street to breathe the air and we're all thinking. Where is this coming from the nfl. We hear about the builder burgers.

"Well i think you've got to keep in mind a couple of things here. Which is that people. Don't join the green party because of well. It's it's not true of everybody. But let me generalize a bit. It's more than just kind of casual affinity a lot of the time if your policies are pseudo green. There are options that are more likely to be successful. You know you can join the mvp you can join the liberals. These are political parties. That are more likely to see political success. You joined the greens like you're really something about what's important to you and you don't walk away from the things that are important to you lightly you know. The the more party is about specific issue. Like a 'cause if you will it the more i suspect it's tied up in your identity and it's not like you're gonna tomorrow say well i don't believe in kind of green politics anymore right you know. I don't believe in ecological justice taking a global approach to these things and so i don't think that people in general are inclined to quit political parties on mass because their identities are so tied up in them as we've discussed and increasingly so but i think that's doubly true when it's a party like the green party and so the fight then becomes internal for control of the green party like well. I'm not gonna let them get away with that. I think about the scene and office. Space with the character michael bolton. And he's like. Why don't you just go by mike. He's like why should i change. He's the one who sucks. So i think there's a fair bit of that and this is not done right. We've got a federal council. the greens executive council. I think maybe even within the federal council who is who is acting in this fashion and it has not concluded. And we've got an awful lot of reported but what's going on. I agree with carter. This is all just fucked. This is crazy. But but i get the sense after many weeks of reporting that the greens have an entirely different perception of leader. It's insane. It's not one that aligns with our federal election laws. It's not on that conforms with kind of practice. Or i would even argue best practice elsewhere. Like the leader leads. The leader has the support of the party. Has the moral support. I i just nobody on. Federal council has any kind of authority equivalent to the leaders and that they would be acting in this fashion. It's nuts that they would be considering reviewing her leadership than she just got too bad so sad. She's leader. Don't like it quit. That would be my suggestion to them right. They should all be quitting. The idea the idea they would be suggesting that she may not be a member or should not have membership is unreal. It is absolutely unreal and This is this has gotten so out of hand for the greens. I don't know what anybody is thinking. They're particularly like. I'm not trying to create a false equivalency or i don't know what their federal council's thinking i don't know what the president is thinking. I think the president thanks to the chair of a board and that that the.

"Adjust your volume. Take a nice deep breath in lead it out. Slowly and off waco. Well it's the beginning of july and that means it's time for our annual reading from the federalist papers written by alexander hamilton. John jay n james madison published as a series of tracks in seventeen. Eighty eight to support the ratification of the united states constitution. Let's pick up where we left off federalist paper number seventeen the insufficiency of the present confederation to preserve the union. The same subject continued written for the independent journal by alexander hamilton. To the people of the state of new york an objection of a nature different from that which has been stated and answered in my last address may perhaps be likewise urged against the principle legislation for the individual citizens of america. It may be said that it would tend to render the government of the union too powerful and to enable it to absorb those residuarity authorities which it might be judged proper to leave with the states for local purposes allowing the utmost latitude to the love of power which any reasonable man can require. I confess. I am a loss to discover what temptation the persons entrusted with the administration of the general government could ever feel to divest the states of the authorities of that description. The regulation of the mere domestic police of state appears to me to hold out slender allurement to ambition. Commerce finance negotiation and war seemed to comprehend all the objects which have charms for minds governed by that passion and all the powers necessary to those objects ought in the first instance to be lodged in the national depository the administration of private justice between the citizens of the same state the supervision of agriculture and of other concerns of a similar nature. All those things in short which are proper to be provided for by local legislation is therefore improbable that there should exist a disposition in the federal council's to your surp- the powers with which they are connected because the attempt to exercise those powers would be as troublesome as it would be nugatory and the possession of them for that reason would contribute nothing to the dignity t to the importance or to the splendor of the national government. But let it be admitted for argument's sake that mere wanted nece and lust of domination would be sufficient to beget that disposition..

"They were called the gordon. Riots they were actually anti-catholic riots and the local authorities were absolutely unable to control them and they wound up holding parliament hostage for considerable time until finally troops were brought into quell them and so this told the founders that you need to have control federal control over the area around Around the national capital in order to protect the national capital. Now that down in seventeen eighty three A more peaceful version of the same thing happened. The confederation congress was meeting in philadelphia and then and independence where they were meeting was suddenly surrounded by demonstrators. They were veterans of the revolutionary war. Demanding back pay and they were peaceful but there was an intimidating intimidation affect there and the The congress asked the pennsylvania authorities to remove them. Pennsylvania refused and the congress said we're not going to be subject to intimidation. They picked up where they left and they went to princeton. new jersey in princeton. New jersey became the national capital for about four and a half months so when that happened. Congress said we need a place where Congress can meet where the federal government can meet where they're not subject to that kind of intimidation. Now if you all think that this is just a function of the seventeen eighty. I want you to imagine a bunch of black lives matter and t for riots going on which the government of washington. Douglas commonwealth is unwilling or unable to quell. And yet those riots threaten federal institutions. Or i want you to imagine a situation where the state of washington douglas commonwealth decides. It wants to get more federal aid and so it or get. Some other law passed by congress and so it's police agencies start harassing members of congress until members of congress comply the proximity the near the nearness of people who live in dc already gives them outsize influence over federal policy. We don't meet need to increase that influence even more by giving them a by additional power in in in federal councils or by giving them a state of course because they would this would wheeled extra political influence over the process but Well isn't that the point seven twelve now there. Yeah i mean. I would imagine the people supporting this wouldn't mind if they were they'll say black lives matter on a matter deal riots that that in conjunction with the local authorities intimidated congress. You know there's another. There are a lot of other factors here to the bill. Itself that would opt dc statehoods called. Hr fifty one really recognizes that. They're not ready for statehood. Because what the bill does is it. Continues all kinds of federal subsidies to Was the district of columbia. Even though now a state so for example extra medicare payments extra payments to support their courts their judicial system all in recognition of the fact that they're really not a state and had no ability to be a state and they're not in a position to support themselves. They're dependency the federal government and they vote accordingly and that brings us if i can say to another point that the founders had in mind and that was that dependence shouldn't be making political decisions dependence when a dependent votes the dependent just votes the way the master votes and that gives two votes to the master. And you see this in d. c. twenty-third amendment was passed in nineteen sixty one. Twenty-third amendment gave the district of columbia. The right to elect three presidential electors. So do people voters in the district of columbia seriously consider the merits of the democratic candidate.

"Start with Stephen mcfeely he operates being be on Ireland's dingle peninsula in just before the pandemic head Stephen an interest in the hotel Oberland in October and Switzerland that's where he's had to ride out the first few months of the global lockdown good and. My goodness. My Irish friend is learning Spitzer dykes. Good here in the Alps where I've been for four months. Now in splendid isolation, my plan originally was just to come for February and March, but I've I'm still here right well, what does the vibe in Switzerland right now there's a positive vibe. The society is reopening. Tourism travel has started again just no we're on the same level as it was before we had two weekends where there was crazy crowds here huge big crowds from all over Switzerland everybody who was here was from Switzerland or had to be from Switzerland. They weren't necessarily all Swiss because there's lots of international people living in Geneva and Derek and whatnot but everybody from within the barger of Switzerland over with crowds, and then it just died and Monday to. Friday went back to being really really quiet. Okay. Well, this is sort of the very beginnings of the rekindling of tourism I would imagine it'll be people traveling with within their own countries first, and then traveling within Europe, and then finally international travel and transatlantic travel. Yes. That's exactly what we're seeing. The borders here have just reopened. So we're expecting Germans and some Austrians and maybe some French to come now also, I don't anticipate huge numbers like that would have been heretofore. One. Very noticeable thing in the Valley of course, there's no American visitors. As you know, the valley also is very popular with. Chinese travelers Indians many people from Dubai and Saudi Arabia would come here and they're not here this year. So there's a noticeable difference there. So the people getting the real cultural change would be the French speaking. Swiss. German speaking part of his Switzerland and not even leaving their own country exactly. Fifty percent of our guests. Last week were French speaking Swiss and it was the first time I've ever actually met those people and I would say to them. Are you French Swiss would say no, no, we are. All MOM and so I I learned something new immediately the K. The identify as swirl. They were saying exactly what you just said they said it's like we are in a different country it's very dramatic here it's different toossion either those on the do shut down it was really cool. They were very excited to see a different part of their own country. So that was wonderful. Now Stephen you own a hotel in Ireland in Dingle Peninsula and now you own a hotel in Switzerland in Loudoun valley two of my favorite places as a businessman working in both these countries how do you compare the support getting from the government and how the two governments are dealing with this crisis? Well, the difference is. Very. Big. I'm still on team. Ireland. So I want to be positive about my own country, but there's not a lot of support coming. Heretofore in Switzerland for example, within two weeks of the crisis occurring. The. Swiss Federal Council which is the Swiss government offered ten percent of the previous year's turnover and So that's quite a considerable amount of money and they offered that as a loan which was repayable over seven years. Zero percent interest. So they're not looking to profit from it and in Ireland we really struggled to get some assistance. And we got ten thousand euros of overdraft line of credit and but repayable at seven and a half percent interest in Switzerland. We got three hundred thousand. So it's quite a big difference there no-interest at all. No interest at all. Of course, Switzerland may have much stronger and deeper reservists than Ireland, but they were able to immediately come up with assistance very little bureaucracy paperwork, and they immediately got to help us in Ireland. The experience was just simply much different to the government really weren't as proactive for as immediate as were here in Switzerland. The roots here what's around her a lot less strict as well There is a two meter rule here, but I haven't seen anybody wearing masks very much, which is kinda shocking for me because I know in Ireland the whole north of is people should be wearing masks. People definitely are observing social distance. One of my friends said to me that the two meter rule has actually brought Swiss people closer together so. That is so insightful to the Swiss society. It's more difficult thing. It's more difficult thing for Irish people or Italian people are Spanish. Two meters distance than it would be for this people or maybe the. Scandinavians. I can see by home people are wondering. Is the Irish pub culture ever going to come back the way it was with social distancing whereas in. Switzerland. Here for me like I'm I'm in the Alps I'm surrounded by fresh air and. Of of lovely space and it's been a wonderful place to be stranded, I don't even want to complain about it because although I I was stranded here for four months. It was the perfect place I felt very safe. I might have felt different if I was in the middle of Zurich or something or Geneva but I felt very safe. I'd in the Alps and it is lovely and peaceful and quiet, and of course, that's what people are coming here for anyway

How Europe is responding to the coronavirus pandemic
"Want to start really by having a look at what is happening in this part of the world and certainly how countries In and around a Middle Europa at handled covid nineteen as pandemic some economic powerhouses. The United States of course the UK have had a bit of a miserable time. You could say but Germany and Switzerland are getting back on their feet and even in the last hour or so here in Zurich. We heard the country's main aviation hub of the national carrier. Swiss have outlined an incredibly aggressive relaunch plan. Of course if we go north to the border in Germany LUFTHANSA'S HOPING TO INC. It's bailout package to do a bit of the same well for more on this. I'm joined here in Zurich Rob Cox regular with us. When is the global editor of Reuters breaking views and on the line from start in south western Germany on a Rosenberg as also the line and she is head of Europe and the UK at the political consultancy Sigme Global? Welcome to both of you rob. I wanted to start. Do you think something is up? Maybe in this country I think also we look to Australia and certainly Germany as well as everyone starting to behave as a bit of a block at a time when everyone is supposed to be yes nice nice role in together are we moving into a period where people are maybe trying to score a few points. Released position themselves That look we are open for business. And we're moving ahead here. We're kind of in this competitive de Lockdown Mode. Where everybody you know? Calm countries like Switzerland which WanNa score high on the the Doing Business World business indicators and things like that and I think they have something like thirteen hundred. Us companies alone. That have offices or something here so everybody is trying to kind of to ease the ease travel. Do it in the right way. But also the same time to showcase that they've done a good job or a decent job of of battling pandemic of ensuring that their citizens have safe that that and doing it in a sort of you know an intelligent way And in some ways opening opening up the borders as a way to show that off now I think they're quite conservative. You saw you saw. The Federal Council was saying yesterday and in other countries. You know there are still this tension between the politicians as it were and the health professionals at still going on. We're still going to see that for quite some time. But there's definitely a sense of like like let's get moving again But the the the big issue though is you can't just apply what the Swiss do or the Austrians due to say London or Dublin or Perez and I think so. The worry is a little bit like we have these fights over tax policy right That you have this sort of race to the bottom in some ways and I think that's it's one has to be quite careful. So if the Swiss open up or the Germans and people say Look Frankfurt's open for business in Syracuse. Open for business. The worry is that these other guys. I don't know or London that engage a well. We better do it quickly. Problem is that there's no one size fits all for battling this pandemic Rosenberg. When you look from your side of the border but maybe across to Austria and Switzerland do you feel that may be an of course? Federal Council Minister over in Vienna yesterday front from Switzerland. Do you feel that the dock nations are starting to to get work in a bit of unison? Work as Mitteleuropa to say that we can together be the the engine that we can point direction. We know that this is a time of of not great central leadership. I'm not sure if there's really a cross border collaboration as as that. I think it's more happening more here. Is that individual states within Germany. I using this as an opportunity to profile themselves when you look at pandemics throughout history typically they benefit smaller entities smaller countries smallest state smaller city states. And exactly the same has happened in this pandemic and Jimmy Away is positioned the way is positioned also because of its highly federalized decentralized system which means you have sixteen individual states that can make their own lockdown and opening up decisions and these decisions currently being made. They're all over the place and I would say there's kind of a rather than we're in this together. I would say there's a little bit of a rivalry at the moment towards who can open up. Fossa who is more concerned with the health of individuals citizens than the others? So it's still pretty much an looking inwards would say Germany. Do you think that some of that also ladder is up though? I mean whether it's whether you're talking about Bio You're talking about no Don Volya that obviously people who are sitting at the Foreign Ministry in Berlin. There were trying to figure out. How do they put this into a concerted message Which they can put across globally? I get the sense. is certainly in Switzerland while the Swiss like to talk about being humble and they don't WanNa talk about having had a good pandemic you do get the sense here that they are trying to. Of course push their message. This is a country that is going to be open for business. If you need to come to Europe And hopefully do need to come to Europe to have a meeting. Then maybe you might consider coming here. I and I'm wondering if Berlin regardless of what it's doing with a federal structure with the states are doing they're trying to have some kind of unified message or no yes. Of course ultimately there's a lot of coordination still trying to be made on on the national level. Am I do think that Germany has certainly benefited from this Kobe crisis? It has turned a crisis into an opportunity and for a variety of reasons and I think Germany ultimately when you look at where Jimmy Stewart's just before the Kobe crisis it wasn't quite a weak economic position that was stagnation that was not enough of investment. Going on into key sectors of the economy that was all these arguments about stepping up fiscal stimulus and spending and constant pushback from the government that wanted to stick to strict fiscal prudence. All of this is different now. The government is saving business left right and center splashing out it's investing and the economy. The Gym Mindset has changed to away from Frisco prudence that was evidenced of course the supporting joint debt with other European nations. And so in a way. Jimmy's kind of taken an advantage from Kobe. In repositioning itself. And I think if you ask me what does Jiminy and the EU stand in one. Two years down the line. I think Germany will clear when I hear on that we just before we went on air we were talking and you just touched on Dublin Dublin. Of course as as essential in Europe which has done very very well at tech. But we're now in a moment right now we're of course. Companies are more mobile than ever. And certainly when you look at some of those players who are who are in Dublin. Of course their headquarters being On on the. Us West Coast yet. There is mobility They move around the going to look of course for the best tax breaks That are out there. Is this also time and again I mean. Certainly you see the power of the money that various spends on go and put your headquarters or least your your regional or European headquarters in Munich. For example do you see this kind of acceleration? Absolutely the ease of doing business index. This is this is going to be part of it. Everyone's going to look at how you did it during this crisis And I think and how quickly you were able to come out of it and I think come. Countries like like Switzerland Like some of the Nordic countries that have have done a pretty good job a relatively good job relative to France or the UK or Spain or Italy are so they're going to have a better pitch to make an a country like Ireland. Which is you know punches. Well above its weight when it comes to global headquarters for I say European headquarters for many of these TECH COMPANIES. The facebooks and people like that that is also

Number of coronavirus cases continues to grow in Switzerland
"We're waiting today the Federal Council of the Federal Council In a rather extraordinary move from burn last Friday you had four council members Standing up doing live broadcast of the country were expecting to hear from them at a later point today and everyone believes at that point. Switzerland go into proper shutdown a big rise in the number of cases in Switzerland announced today. Eight hundred. I need cases. And what's the mood like the moment? Well fortunately the sun is out. I think this is GonNa be the great savior for many of us throughout this Fortunately this part of the hemisphere moving into proper springtime. So you right now. I'd are set up here or there is There's there's life out on the streets There is there's been no we were talking about over the weekend. Poll everywhere pockets of panic. Panic buying I think there is that sense though that to shut down Is is coming now. What that will mean something different. We haven't seen the same type of situation That we've Does occur elsewhere in Europe. Shutdown down his so far meant that the people that is this is our closing but kiosks allowed to remain open. Gas Stations Banks can remain open. Post Offices Command Open But it does mean of course any points of large gathering That would be closed down botch will there be life that closing parks for example so there in other parts of Switzerland. There is life out on the street. It's just that they don't want mass gatherings in confined spaces were one thing. That could help a little in Switzerland. Is it civil defense system? Well absolutely and what? We're seeing right now That there's been talk that there will mobilize up to two thousand Troops at some point they. They're also looking at standing up. One of the four Military hospitals as well so these are large scale military hospitals six hundred staff in one battalion. So these are really like almost getting a proper regional hospital up and running so one of these will come online as there has been discussion this morning whether Lebron more online but also over the weekend are Marcus. Hippie is out here producing at the moment. He was talking to our colleague. Carlos stillbirth something else which exists your poll which is also civil defense as well so of course people can get called up Of course you know. Men of a certain age can make a choice If you want to to bear arms and you go into of course The military Side of things or is the civil side as well and there has been a simple call up even have someone working In our shop and cafe who got the phone call the other day It had to go and report in so We had a conversation With our car over the weekend whatever. Listen the civil defense system is a group of people which are neither part of the military service but they've actually been selected through the military recruitment to come in to help emergency situations so the civil defense system and the for example in Zurich. It's part of of the emergency organizations such as police or the fabric. They're part of this kind of emergency corpse and the civil defense system. What specialists that the people they have to regular ups and only get called in in case of an emergency. The system is designed for extreme emergencies. Of course this could be war but as well as national catastrophes may be an airplane. Crash could be a case there. Also other cases which to civil defense system comes in to help. One example is desire extre- Parade Big Techno Party in town where civil defense system helps and supports the existing Rescue services or maybe even the police how important and tell us police this system for Switzerland. The system is designed to come in to support and help. When when there's really big demand and in the past assessor quite well worked for example when we had stems overflowing or big national catastrophes so it's definitely still an important piece of emergency preparation and to what about. During the corona virus outbreak in southern Switzerland. To Civil Defense has already been called into support on transport to bring from A to B in the rest of Switzerland. Currently a special unit of the military has been called in but it could be that the government decides to further Colin more civil defense personnel collar. Silversmith talking to Marcus Hippie. Let's go back to Tyler. Briefly Airlines Tyler. Now warning that if they don't get state support on top of what seemed to be absolutely massive job losses in the cases of many carriers a great many of them could be broke within two months. Absolutely be. We've Seen Air Baltic courses the carrier for Lithuania Latvia and Estonia. They've completely Grounded their fleet Same situation with lots And of course probably those high profile stores Scandinavian Airlines Really keeping a couple of essential routes open letting in ninety percent of their staff not go but ninety percent of the staff Of course are also grounded as well then. There has to be then. Of course you know huge discussions right now Paul. I think this is the one thing that we're waiting for you on one side you have. You got the of leadership coming out and of course talking. But what are those medical measures What the containment measures that are happening? But I think a lot of this also needs to be done at the exact same time it but it needs to be sort of second third item when you have these failings of people's understanding from the microphone. Say by the way. What are we doing for for business? In general what do you do if you are a small business owner or a mid size business owner or even own airline it? What type of support is going to be there? And I think that's what we need to see. Certainly the speech writers and the advisors really talking to leadership about because we know this is awful. What is happening in terms of from certainly from from health issues? But I think there's also going to be a serious round of also mental health issues For anyone who sees their jobs under threat multiples editor-in-chief tighter play in
