    BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

    Palestinian relatives of the Salha family who were killed in an Israeli airstrike on their house, react during the funeral in the Jebaliya refugee camp, northern Gaza Strip, Friday, Jan. 9, 2009. Israel launched airstrikes across the Gaza Strip on Dec. 27 followed by a ground invasion on Jan. 3 to undermine the ability of the militant group Hamas that governs Gaza from firing rockets into the Jewish State. Some 750 people have been killed in the fighting, about half of them civilians, according Palestinians medical officials. Over 3000 have been injured, numbers that have left Gaza's medics overwhelmed.

    The Yamal-Europe gas transfer station near the Belarus town of Nesvizh, some 130 kms west of Minsk, is seen on January 9, 2009. Deliveries of Russian gas via Ukraine have been halted, but Poland is continuing to receive the bulk of its supplies via a pipeline running through Belarus. Germany still has access to Russian gas via Belarus and authorities say it also has significant reserves. Still the national energy agency has urged authorities to curb their dependence on Russian gas. Belarus has raised tariffs for the transit of Russian oil through its territory to Germany, Poland and Ukraine, under a government order which came into force on January 7 in a widely expected move.
