    • 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.

  • Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama gestures during a meeting with Belgian Prime Minister Yves Leterme, on December 3, 2008 in Brussels. China said on November 28, it was forced to react over a planned meeting between French President Nicolas Sarkozy and the Dalai Lama, after postponing a summit with the European Union. China decided on November 26, to scrap the summit scheduled for this week in France, which Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao had been due to attend. It directed its anger particularly at France because it holds the EU's rotating presidency and because Sarkozy has insisted he will meet the Dalai Lama in Poland on December 6. China has for many years opposed foreign leaders meeting the Dalai Lama, who it maintains is trying to win independence for his Himalayan homeland that has been under Chinese rule since 1951. The Dalai Lama in turn insists he only wants meaningful autonomy for Tibet under Chinese rule. From Getty Images by AFP/Getty Images.
