The Republican billionaire is expected to appear in court from 3:30 p.m. in

INSECTS: With the arrival of fine weather, the cantons of Vaud and
Geneva are preparing to fight against the Asian hornet, whose number of

nests could explode this year. A call for nest reports has been launched

among the population of Vaud, while Geneva, "Swiss capital of the Asian
hornet", is organising its fight via a pilot experiment, according to the

Tribune de Genève.

Nearly 500 selective traps have been installed and telemetry will be used to

identify secondary nests that are difficult to find. Eradicating the species in

the region is unthinkable, says Gottlieb Dandliker, cantonal wildlife
inspector. "For the moment, we are doing our best to limit its population

and save time," he says.

the mountains, should undergo an aptitude test before the ski

mountaineering event, according to its former commander Marius Robyr.
"At the beginning, there are now people who don't know how to rope up, or

they just know how to put on the harness," laments the man who
commanded the Patrouille des Glaciers between 1990 and 2008 in Le

Temps.
