Doubts over US's new Swiss Ambassador
President Barack Obama is being accused of political cronyism, by nominating a major donor to the position of US ambassador to Switzerland. Donald Beyer is a well known car dealership owner in the state of Virginia, and Mr. Beyer himself was responsible for raising around $500,000 in donations for the Obama presidential campaign. From Alexandria, Virgina, our correspondent Daniel Ryntjes reports.
