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.

A Gap Inc. clothing store is shown at the Cable Car turn in San Francisco, California August 21, 2008. Gap Inc said on Thursday that quarterly net profit rose, helped by higher profit margins, even as sales trends proved disappointing at its three chains. The owner of the Gap, Old Navy and Banana Republic chains said second-quarter net profit was $229 million, or 32 cents per share, from $152 million, or 19 cents per share, a ago.
GOLETA, CA - JULY 04: Firefighters watch flames of the Gap fire draw closer threatening to consume backcountry homes, many of which were rebuilt after being destroyed by a massive fire in 1990, as more than 1,000 wildfires continue burning across about 680 square miles of central and northern California, on July 3, 2008 near Goleta, California. The 5,400-acre wildfire threatens about 200 homes as it spreads through the chaparral-covered Santa Ynez Mountains in the Los Padres National Forest. Last week, President Bush declared a state of emergency for the entire state of California in response to the hundreds of fires burning since dry lightning storms crossed the state on June 20. Making matters worse for the more than 19,000 firefighters from 42 states battling the California wildfires, drought is wicking moisture from the vegetation which leads fire experts to fear a possible repeat of the firestorms of 2003 and 2007 that destroyed thousands of homes in southern California.
