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 Swiss-made Longines wristwatch, seen front and back, which belonged to Albert Einstein and that will be auctioned on October 16, 2008 in New York, is seen on this handout picture provided on September 8, 2008 by the Geneva-based auction house Antiquorum. His theories stretched the boundaries of space and time but Einstein himself favored that hallmark of reliable timekeeping, a Swiss watch. Geneva-based auction house Antiquorum said in a statement that the Swiss-made Longines wristwatch is expected to fetch between 20,000 and 30,000 US dollars (14,000 to 21,000 euros) when it goes under the hammer. The 14-carat yellow gold watch is not particularly remarkable in its design but the auctioneers hope its value will be exponentially boosted by the allure of its illustrious owner. The wristwatch was presented to the famous scientist by celebrated rabbi Edgar Magnin at a gala luncheon in Einstein's honour in Los Angeles in 1931.
