Human error caused Glacier Express crash

There has been intense criticism in the Japanese media that the Glacier Express started running again just two days after the accident

A probe into the derailment of a Swiss tourist train in which one person died and 42 others were injured has found the driver was going "too fast".

The driver of the Glacier Express train had been going about 20km above the 35km/h permitted level when the accident occurred on July 23.

Anglo-Swiss nurse recalls Live Aid role

Claire Bertschinger was an inspiration to Bob Geldof

This month marks the 25th anniversary of Live Aid, the historic international pop concert that helped raise millions for famine relief in Africa.

It had been the television news image of Claire Bertschinger, a young nurse on a remote feeding station in Ethiopia, doling out meagre rations to a line of thousands and grimly choosing the recipients that brought the world’s attention to starvation in Africa and inspired Live Aid.
