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.

Pakistan's President Asif Ali Zardari (2nd L), widower of former Pakistani prime minister Benazir Bhutto, arrives with his Afghan counterpart Hamid Karzai (R) for a news conference after being sworn in at the President House in Islamabad September 9, 2008. Zardari was sworn in as president on Tuesday, in what allies and investors hoped was a step toward stability after months of uncertainty.
Residents pass a billboard displaying a picture of Asif Ali Zardari (L), a presidential candidate and the widower of slain former prime minister Benazir Bhutto (R), in Larkana September 5, 2008. Pakistan's new president, almost certain to be Zardari, will have to contend with a host of critical problems including militant violence and an economy in crisis.
