I have a wealth of experience as a journalist working in Switzerland and enjoy producing videos, articles and podcasts on a range of subjects, recently focused mainly on politics and the environment. Born in the UK, I studied law at Nottingham University, then went on to attend the first-ever post-graduate radio journalism college in London. After working as a radio journalist in the UK and then Switzerland from 1984 to 1995, I returned to the UK to complete a post-graduate diploma in film at Bournemouth Film School. I have been working as a video journalist ever since.

Tennis ace Roger Federer will be part of the Swiss team competing against Portugal in the Davis Cup this weekend. The other team members are Stanislas Wawrinka, Stephane Bohli and Marco Chiudinelli. The five-match competition is being held in the Swiss capital, Bern, for the first time in more than 50 years. (Julie Hunt, swissinfo.ch)
