The Swiss Defence Ministry has been instructed to deploy as many as 6,500 servicemen if necessary.In effect Davos will be sealed off from the outside world during the forum. In both cases, most victims were women and children, Munich prosecutors said.A court in the former Czechoslovakia in 1962 convicted the man, now a German citizen, of those and other killings, and sentenced him to death in his absence. Historians identify the Slovak unit’s commander as Captain Ladislav Niznansky, who is believed to have fled to Germany after a 1948 communist coup in the former Czechoslovakia.. The Swiss government will deploy twice as many soldiers as it did last year to protect political and business leaders as they arrive in the ski resort of Davos tomorrow for the annual World Economic Forum. He is being investigated in the killings of 146 people in the villages of Ostry Grun and Klak in central Slovakia in January 1945. He is also accused of ordering the shooting of 18 Jewish civilians, who were discovered in their hiding places at Ksina, Slovakia, in February 1945.

He is not being investigated for the capture of the Britons and Americans.The man, arrested on Friday, is accused of having led a Slovak unit that hunted down resistance fighters when Slovakia was a Nazi puppet state during the war. An 86-year-old former commander of a Nazi-backed unit suspected to be involved in the Second World War massacres of Slovak civilians, including Jews, has been arrested at his home in Munich, prosecutors said yesterday.
The unit had also captured a group of British and US officers – and Joseph Morton, an Associated Press war correspondent, who was with them – on a behind-the-lines mission in Slovakia in 1944. They were executed at a concentration camp in Austria.The suspect, whom German authorities identified only as Ladislav N, is being investigated for possible charges of 164 counts of murder in what could be one of the last trials of Nazi-era suspects in Germany. But to manufacture refrigerators of high added value requires elevated human professionalism.”You might imagine the unions would be delighted Not a bit of it. “We want to learn more about [the management's proposal]” said one representative warily. “But to go back to the rhythms of the old days seems a backward step.”. Contrary to the myth, they make mistakes in the warehouse, bringing the wrong widgets to the conveyor belt; and a single blip in a robot brain can bring the whole production line to a standstill.As a spokesman for the company said: “Automatic production will continue to be made by machine.

Out with the robots, back in with the people.When a single line produces a wide range of products, they have to be repeatedly re-programmed. They were going to take over, remember? Lazy, leisure-addicted humans were going to cede more and more chores to the robots, which would take over and organise the world to suit their own convenience.
But now comes word from the Veneto region of Italy that the robot revolution was all a great mistake – or at least considerably over-sold.Visitors to the Electrolux-Zanussi refrigerator plant near Treviso in the 1980s used to watch amazed as self-propelling trucks trundled around the plant, scooping up components in the warehouse and bustling back to the production line with them, without a human being in sight.But the company has now informed the trade unions that it is investing €7m (£5m) to make dramatic changes to the way one-third of its plants work. Referring to the new investigation into the case announced by the Chief Constable, he added: “We will not be happy with an investigation by the [Police Service of Northern Ireland], we want it by a totally outside force.”The family’s solicitor, Kevin Winter, said the report was a “damning indictment” which had revealed “a litany of deficiencies and a mockery of a police investigation”.. The Browns were right in the complaint that they made to me.”Those involved in reviewing the original RUC investigation described it yesterday as dysfunctional and unprofessional, characterised by poor judgements and sloppy practice. One senior figure said: “I would give it two out of 10.”Sean Brown’s son, Damien, said publication of the ombudsman’s report had given the family “a very harrowing day – it opens up a lot of wounds”.
