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.

Eliot Spitzer (C) is congratulated by his wife Silda Wall Spitzer and David Paterson (L) on election night in New York in this November 7, 2006 file photo. Paterson would become the first African-American governor of New York if the current governor, Spitzer, resigns in the wake of allegations of ties to prostitution. Paterson, who is legally blind, was elected lieutenant governor in November 7, 2006 together with Spitzer. The New York Times said the governor, a Democrat and former state attorney general, was caught on a federal wiretap last month as he arranged to meet a prostitute.
With his wife Silda Wall Spitzer holding the car door, New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer arrives at his Fifth Avenue apartment, Monday, March 10, 2008, in New York. Spitzer, the crusading politician who built his career on rooting out corruption, apologized Monday after he was accused of involvement in a prostitution ring.
New York Governor Eliot Spitzer arrives to hold a news conference in New York City with his wife Silda by his side on March 10 2008 after it was announced that he has been involved in a prostitution ring. The report did not spell out Spitzer's alleged involvement, saying only that the governor had informed his most senior administration officials that he had been involved in a prostitution ring. Spitzer, a former New York state attorney general, is a first-term Democrat who pledged to bring ethics reform during his time in office. He is married with three children. Spitzer gained a name for himself while serving as attorney general for pursuing Wall Street transgressions and prosecuted at least two prostitution rings during his time in office.
