International news — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 21 September 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 76% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and why it has no browse page of its own yet.

6 posts held, back to 14 June 2026 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 page of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 6 posts for this entry, the most recent from 10 July 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
Measured directly from 1 video with a duration reading, out of the posts we hold for this channel — not this channel’s whole posting history, only the sample this register has actually read. An exact reading to the second, taken from the post itself rather than from Telegram’s own rounded chrome, so it carries no ≈ mark.
19 reactions across 5 posts, in 7 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 26.3% of them.

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 5 of the 6 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 19 reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 6 most recent posts we hold, published 14 June 2026 to 10 July 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.
🚉🎉 The ceremony to inaugurate the Gotthard Base Tunnel on June 1, 2016, drew a host of European leaders, including Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, French President François Hollande, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and, of course, Swiss President Johann Schneider-Ammann. The elite guest list underscored the importance of the project in linking the north and south of the continent. Ten years on, the Gotthard rai…

Online deepfakes are designed to vilify, mislead or sow confusion. Newer artificial intelligence (AI) tools have drastically increased the scale and scope of deepfakes. DeepStrike, a Cybersecurity company, says the number of detected cases surged from 500,000 in 2023 to more than eight million last year. The Swiss platform clickandstop.ch, which was set up to record cases of cyberbullying and child sex abuse, reveal…
The more civilians actively participate in hostilities, the more the line between civilians and combatants becomes blurred, says the ICRC. “In several of today’s armed conflicts, the ICRC has documented cases in which civilians were shot or detained because they were suspected of using their mobile phones to spy for parties to the conflict,” Tilmann Rodenhäuser, a legal adviser at the ICRC and co-author of the repor…

This is the story of two parents racing against time to find a cure for their son’s rare disease, while pharma turns a blind eye. Erik has asparagine synthetase deficiency (ASNSD), a rare neurometabolic condition with no available treatment. Because so few cases exist, major pharmaceutical companies have little incentive to invest in finding a cure. But Mariann Vegh and her husband, Balázs Karancsi, refused to give…

Happy Sunday, everyone! 🗳️🇨🇭 Today, Swiss citizens have rejected the right-wing Swiss People's Party proposal to limit the population to ten million. Voter turnout was high in urban areas amid uncertainty over the economic and EU implications of a "yes" vote, said gfs.bern analyst Lukas Golder. He added that French-speaking Switzerland decisively rejected the initiative. The second issue put to voters today, a ref…

Showing the 6 most recent of 6 posts we hold for @swissinfoenglish. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 17 September 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
