In most cases it remained with the moment of terror, but 1 percent had to be resuscitated and 3 percent were passed out for a short time. “These numbers show how important it is that the population can not only swim, but also realistically assess dangers,” said SLRG spokesman Christoph Merki to the newspaper. The SLRG also warns of a decline in swimming skills. In 2016, 6 percent would have stated not to be able to swim, in 2024 it was already 8 percent.

Ex-boss Schwab submits a peace offer to the WEF

According to “Sonntagszeitung”, Klaus Schwab strives for the title of honorary president after his resignation as President of the World Economic Forum (WEF).

According to the report, Schwab wanted to work further advisory and help to fill the WEF top -class. The proposal stipulates that Peter Brabeck remains an interim president and Schwab no longer exerts surgical influence. It is unclear whether the proposal would be accepted, since the relationship between Schwab and Thomas Buberl, chairman of the WEF test and risk committee, is considered to be broken. The “Sonntagszeitung” also wrote that a possible legal dispute threatened if the WEF does not respond to Schwab’s suggestions because it still has financial claims to the organization. At the request of the “NZZ on Sunday”, the WEF did not want to know anything about such subsequent remuneration.

CS pledged Swiss mortgages

According to “Sonntagszeitung”, Credit Suisse secretly pledged central parts of its mortgage business years ago to investors. The newspaper, citing new documents from a procedure at the Zurich Commercial Court, reported that the bank had given urgently needed liquidity. The mortgage business was outsourced to a purpose company without the customers being informed. According to the report, the CS had suffered from financial difficulties since 2015, which were not remedied by capital increases. Despite the loss of the subsidiaries, the bank continued to financed dividends, bonuses and stock returns. When a downgrade on junk status threatened, the leadership tried to prevent publication.
