Switzerland has just lived through its third-hottest June since records began in 1864.

Severe storms swept across central parts of the country last night, forcing Linkin Park to pause their Letzigrund stadium concert in Zurich for about 50 minutes.

Emergency calls to Geneva's 144 medical hotline rose about 60% over four days as last week's heatwave pushed temperatures to 37.

The damage caused by the storm on Monday evening in Geneva is becoming clear.

Physical punishment of children is banned from today.

The gap between Switzerland's wealthy and its middle class widened again last year, according to UBS's annual global wealth report.
