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.

NEW YORK - SEPTEMBER 21: (L-R) Joe Girardi, David Cone, Whitey Ford, Yogi Berra, David Wells and Jorge Posada stand on the mound during a pregame ceremony prior to the start of the last regular season game at Yankee Stadium between the Baltimore Orioles and the New York Yankees on September 21, 2008 in the Bronx borough of New York City. The Yankees are playing their final season in the 85 year old ball park and plan on moving into the new Yankee Stadium across the street to start the 09 season.
Former New York Yankees, standing from left, Jeff Nelson, Paul O'Neill, Scott Brosius and David Cone pose with Yankees COO Lonn Trost, left, Yankees vice chairperson Jennifer Steinbrenner Swindal, center, and a group of Bronx high school students during a ceremony moving home plate from the original stadium to the new Yankee Stadium Saturday, Nov. 8, 2008 in the Bronx borough of New York.
(L to R) Three pitchers who pitched perfect games for the Yankees Don Larson, David Wells and David Cone appear on a video screen as they pull a lever to count down to eight remaining games at Yankee Stadium, in the fifth inning of the Yankees second game of their MLB American League baseball doubleheader with the Tampa Bay Rays in New York, September 13, 2008. This is the final season for the famous "House that Ruth Built," as the Yankee move to a new ball park across the street in 2009.
In this June 24, 2006 file photo, former New York Yankees player Joe Pepitone, left, hugs Darryl Strawberry as David Cone looks on at Old Timer's Day at Yankee Stadium. Strawberry said Tuesday that he thinks the Yankees' clubhouse is beset by bad chemistry that can be cured only one way: Derek Jeter needs to "embrace" Alex Rodriguez. (AP Photo/Bill Kostroun/file)
