    • 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.

German chancellor Angela Merkel (R) and Liechtenstein's Head of Government Otmar Hasler leave after a welcome ceremony in Berlin February 20, 2008. Liechtenstein has come under fire in Germany after prosecutors announced last week they were investigating hundreds of people suspected of dodging German taxes by parking money in secret bank accounts in the principality. The probe, which has involved raids of homes and offices across Germany, has already led to the resignation of Deutsche Post Chief Executive Klaus Zumwinkel and threatens to claim other high-profile victims.
