Bern

On October 9, 1874, a treaty was signed in Bern to establish a Universal Postal Union. It is this day that the whole world now marks as World Mail Day.

Switzerland has joined a string of countries launching challenges to Washington's new steel and aluminum tariffs at the World Trade Organization, Bern said on July 10.

Investigations have been launched into a banner that targeted President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan during a rally by the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) supporters in the Swiss capital Bern. 

Probes into the banner, which read "Kill Erdoğan" and carried a picture of a gun aimed at his head, have been launched both in Turkey and Switzerland, after Ankara reacted harshly against it. 

There are only a relatively few people who have access to the following rooms of the powerful and influential across the world. Others are less private but boast fantastic architecture and design.

Luca Zanier, a photographer “invaded” these rooms and took fantastic pictures to present them to us… “common people”.
