    • 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.

A worker checks timber outside a warehouse in Dalingshan, China's self-styled No.1 furniture export town, October 13, 2008. The cost of labour and raw materials has risen sharply in China in the past two years, while the currency has strengthened against the dollar and the government has lowered or eliminated many export tax rebates -- all rendering exports more expensive. But one thing is certain: the outlook for exporters is worsening because of the global economic crisis, and many are now pinning their hopes on China's burgeoning domestic markets.
