    • 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 man cycles past a Cuban flag in Havana November 5, 2008. U.S. President-elect Barack Obama's promise of change reached across the Florida Straits on Tuesday as Cubans said his victory over John McCain gave them hope for better relations with the United States and improvement in their own lives. Obama's campaign vow to ease the 46-year-old U.S. trade embargo against Cuba and his willingness to consider dialogue with the Cuban government were a breath of fresh air after almost eight years of tough talk and hard-line policies from the Bush adminstration, Cubans said.

  • This photo of a graphic taken on March 7, 2008 shows the KC-30 Production Center in Mobile, Alabama. A battle over a US Air Force tanker contract heated up on March 5,2008 with vanquished Boeing hinting it would protest and winner Northrop Grumman mired in corrections of "erroneous" information. The sensitive issue of job losses and gains on both sides of the Atlantic was highlighted in a testy panel hearing in Congress and dueling statements between the victors Northrop Grumman and its European contract partner EADS, which already is facing pressure from European unions. The Boeing Company had been heavily favored to win the contest to provide 179 new KC-45A tankers, an initial phase in replacing the air force's aging Boeing-made fleet.
