    • 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.

Actor Ewan McGregor (L) and friend Charley Boorman are pictured in this May 2007 publicity photo during their epic 15,000 mile motorcycle journey through 20 countries from Scotland to South Africa. McGregor and Boorman braved the specter of armed kidnappers and fierce hyenas when they set out on a motorcycle journey in Africa but what they encountered was quite different: little violence and curious kids. A documentary film, "Long Way Down," which shows just how peaceful their journey was, will enjoy a brief run in theaters starting on July 31, 2008, then appear on television on the Fox Reality Channel beginning on August 2, 2008.
