    • 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.

Italian architect Francesco Stella poses for media beside the last remains of the former East German parliament building the Palace of Republic (Palast der Republik) next to the German cathedral in Berlin July 12, 2008. Stella won the rights to design a new 552-million euro ($715 million) baroque palace on the spot where the original 15th century "Stadtschloss" stood until it was destroyed in 1950. The historic site in the heart of Berlin, where the ultra modern East German communist parliament stood in stark contrast from 1976 to 1990, is being cleared of the final remains of the controversial 'Palace of the Republic'.
