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.

US Danny Pate (Slipstream/US) (sixth placed) competes, on March 09 2008 in Amilly, Southern Paris, in the 4,6 km individual Time Trial prologue of the 66th edition of the Paris-Nice cycling stage race. The Paris-Nice, Europe's first major stage race of the season, begins today but the 66th edition may find the riders more frightened of the wrath of the sport's governing body for simply turning up than the 1,230 kilometres stretching out ahead of them. Since organisers Amaury Sports Organisation (ASO) controversially opted to hold the "race to the sun" under the aegis of the French Federation, and not the International Cycling Union (UCI) the flak has flown in all directions. Norwegian Thor Hushovd (Credit Agricole/Fra) won the prologue ahead of Spanish Spanish Markel Irizar Aranburu (Euskaltel-Euskadi/Spa) and German Stefan Schumacher (Gerolsteiner/Ger).
