including niqabs and burqas worn by a few Muslim women in the country and ski masks and bandannas used by protesters The issue strikes at the intersection of religious freedom “Yes to a ban on covering the face,” is an ironic throwback to a time not long ago when violent extremism was a greater concern than the COVID-19 pandemic adding that it would unfairly stigmatize Muslims who wear full face-covering burqas or niqabs said it is needed to combat what they consider a sign of the oppression of women and to uphold a basic principle that faces should be shown in a free society The issue is one of three measures on national ballots in the vote culminating tomorrow — most voters in Switzerland cast ballots by mail — as part of the latest installment of regular Swiss referendums that give voters a direct say in policymaking Other proposals would create an electronic identification system to improve security of online transactions — an idea that has run afoul of privacy advocates — and a free-trade deal with Indonesia who have concerns about palm oil plantations on the archipelago The face-covering measure has come to be known colloquially as the “burqa ban.” It would put Switzerland in line with countries such as Belgium and France that have already enacted similar measures Two Swiss regions also already have such bans One campaign poster presented by the Swiss People’s Party — a populist right-wing group that is the leading faction in parliament and has strongly backed the measure — features a caricatured image of the scowling eyes of a woman in a niqab above the words: “Stop Islamic Radicalism.” A coalition of left-leaning parties have put up signs that read: “Absurd Fly Solutions secured its Maltese Air Operator's Certificate (AOC), #MT-86, on

Yeah, we don’t really know either, but according to the reactions in a recent YouTube video it must have been one exciting opportunity yet pretty cool meeting in the video above Images: Baro Barmettler via the Mirage III and F1 Facebook page it was for a taxi demonstration for the aircraft you can see six Corvettes flanking the fighter jet as it taxis down a runway This parade of sorts has quite a few spectators as cameramen and passengers hop out of cars to take pictures and follow the fleet there are some great picture opportunities for the Corvette owners next to the fighter jet While we aren’t quite sure of the purpose of this taxi demonstration or why the Corvettes were involved its an incredibly cool idea when you think about it Not only are these American cars in Switzerland they’re also being used to escort one of the finest fighter jets ever made why can’t we have stuff like this happen around here Build your own custom newsletter with the content you love

exclusive updates from the Power Automedia Network - The first PC-24 Super Versatile Jet took off on its maiden flight today at Buochs airport in Switzerland all of whom are directly or indirectly involved in the PC-24 project were on hand to applaud the business jet as it taxied for takeoff flew across central Switzerland for a total of 55 minutes The flight went exactly as planned with no problems The PC-24 is capable of exceptional performance and this maiden flight was a first opportunity to showcase some impressive credentials: the twin-engine business jet took off from runway 07 in just under 600 feet and climbed to 10,000 feet (approx where the two pilots completed a series of meticulously planned tests The maiden flight followed a route across central Switzerland – from Altdorf to Brünig via Engelberg He has already test flown countless aircraft types and has acquired a wealth of experience on twin-engine business jets Beautiful handling – the PC-24 flies just as expected – a real Pilatus aircraft!” by radio from the cockpit. Throughout the flight the PC-24 was accompanied and monitored by a PC-21 the PC-24 landing gear was not retracted on this occasion Twelve flight test engineers watched the flight from the ground as they kept an eye on a stream of real-time flight data received from the PC-24 these experts could have given the pilots crucial decision-making information: another means of ensuring the safest possible conditions for the entire maiden flight the PC-24 handling characteristics had been trialled and refined during numerous tests using simulators and models placed in a wind tunnel our two pilots were involved in these tests; their role during the maiden flight was to verify the accuracy of the theoretical assumptions. The first Swiss business jet“It’s an emotional moment for sure and another major milestone in the Pilatus and Swiss aviation history” “See our new business jet take off on its maiden flight is something we’ve worked very hard for that ‘Swiss Dream’ became a reality!“ The onlookers burst into another round of applause as the wheels of the PC-24 gently came into contact with the tarmac Paul Mulcahy earned more applause as he left the cockpit saying to the crowd that this is “a real Pilatus aircraft!” VP sales and business development for Pilatus Centre Canada “This is truly a milestone day both for Pilatus and for the business aviation community as a whole,” he said “The successful first flight of the PC-24 reinforces the fact that the program is on track with its FAA/EASA certification in 2017 Our customers are excited for their aircraft to fly the Canadian skies shortly after that.” A total of three PC-24 prototypes will be built and used to complete a rigorous test program of some 2,300 hours over the next two years Fewer than half those hours will actually be flown in Switzerland Certification and initial deliveries of the first aircraft to come off the production line are planned from 2017  Pilatus sold 84 PC-24’s in the space of just 36 hours at last year’s European Business Aviation Conference & Exhibition (EBACE) in May. The PC-24 is the world’s first business jet to be equipped with a cargo door as standard with takeoff and landing performance that allows the use of very short and even unmade runways The jet also boasts a spacious cabin with an interior which can be customized to accommodate individual customer needs Shortly before the cinema release of "Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning" Tom Cruise gives another insight into the filming The Hollywood star can be seen hanging from a biplane at lofty heights "Mister Impossible" Tom Cruise is busy promoting his latest film in the "Mission Impossible" series on Instagram the now 62-year-old does without stunt doubles and performs all the dangerous actions himself Videos show Cruise holding onto the wing of a biplane at 2,500 meters while the plane spins in the air The movie star is given quite a shake in the process The film "Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning" opens on May 21 Arnaud Démare (FDJ) won the bunch sprint at the end of stage four of the Tour de Suisse on Tuesday.  Démare out-paced rival Matt Goss (Orica-GreenEdge) in a close-fought duel for the line Tyler Farrar (Garmin-Sharp) came home in third Mathias Frank (BMC Racing) safely finished in the bunch to retain the overall race lead on a day where there was no change to the top ten of the general classification The stage's escape group consisted of Jens Voigt (RadioShack Leopard) Robert Vrecer (Euskaltel-Euskadi) and Olivier Kaisen (Lotto-Belisol) the trio were never truly let off the leash by the peloton and their advantage was pegged at well below five minutes Voigt and Vrecer left Kaisen behind and continued forging ahead but by the final 10 kilometres their gap over the Omega Pharma-QuickStep-led bunch had plummeted to only half a minute Vrecer and Voigt absolutely buried themselves to try and keep the peloton at bay towards the finish with Voigt's bike swaying from side-to-side under pressure from the German's characteristic pedalling style Voigt then attacked Vrecer in the final three kilometres as the Euskaltel man was quickly caught and went backwards through the peloton and the bunch made the catch with just two kilometres remaining Démare put himself in the ideal position on a tight right-angled bend a few hundred metres before the line to catapult himself to victory with five fourth category ascents packed into the final third of the day's 176km route from

Two recent stories are reminders of the cultural and political importance of language in Switzerland Choosing to learn English as a second language makes sound practical sense in an increasingly global world however in Switzerland it is not that simple a country with four national languages (German has to juggle the practical benefits of learning English with the benefits that come from learning the languages of fellow Swiss German-speaking Swiss don’t speak regular High German as a first language They speak one of a number of dialects of Swiss German while reading and writing in High German At school they must learn High German before learning another language so a second language for them is in effect their third A recent story in the Geneva newspaper Tribune de Genève entitled: French-speaking Swiss discusses the Swiss People’s Party’s (UDC – French acronym or SVP – German acronym) announcement that they will add support for the teaching of French ahead of English in the non-French speaking regions of Switzerland to their legislative agenda The initiative is the work of the Nidwalden branch of the UDC and a “Yes” result would mean English would be taught in favour of French The drama began some time ago when a group of teachers and politicians launched an initiative to stop the teaching of two extra languages at primary schools in the canton of Zurich They argued that children are over burdened are losing interest in language learning and neglecting other important subjects Similar initiatives were then launched in a number of cantons however Nidwalden’s will be the first to reach the voting stage and the result could set a precedent The parliament of Nidwalden is against the initiative on the grounds it will impact on national cohesion and advises voters to reject the proposal UDC Nidwalden’s response is that teaching Swiss history would do more for national unity than teaching French Understandably the French-speaking Swiss (Romands) are upset by moves to delay the teaching of French at school in Swiss-German regions some on the Swiss-German side of the Rösti Graben the symbolic linguistic dividing line between French and Swiss German speakers argue that French speakers are holding them to a double standard Many Swiss-German speakers see High German as the first extra language they must learn French speaking children are not faced with this extra subject because they don’t speak a dialect at home Perhaps if the Romands were required to learn both Swiss German and High German on top of French at primary school they would have greater empathy with the learning burden on Swiss-German speaking children And while High German is taught as a second language throughout the French-speaking part of Switzerland (Suisse Romande) it is not always taught with much gusto Few primary school children in Geneva would be able to hold a conversation in High German Also some Lake Geneva-based expatriates are disappointed to discover how elusive the often-touted benefit of Swiss schooling is – that of trilingual children often regaled by their children year after year when asked how their German is coming along – a reminder of just how little progress they have made The Federal Council will be looking at the issue again in June In the meantime votes similar to Nidwalden’s are planned in the cantons of Zurich Just shows how populist and full of sheep the UDC/SVP actually are By subscribing you are agreeing to our Privacy Policy Previous Newsletters Copyright © Le News Sàrl 2014-2022 /
