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.

Actors dressed as Santa Claus race on scooters past John Lewis department store along Oxford Street during a photo call to promote Christmas shopping in London in this November 5, 2008 file photo. From Britain to China, governments and retailers are dreaming up innovative ways to persuade people to part with cash that bankers won't lend. On the bright side, for the shopper who has cash to spare, Christmas looks like being a reasonable deal. The worry is consumers will simply pay off debts. And - sensing prices could fall yet further - some are holding back in the hope of scooping bigger bargains later.

Clinton's endorsement of Obama in a speech at the National Building Museum marked the beginning of efforts to reunite the Democratic Party after a long and divisive campaign battle that ended on Tuesday when Obama won the support of enough delegates to clinch the nomination.
