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.

The leader of the opposition Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) party, Kizza Besigye, lays 07 March 2006 in Rubaga Cathedral a wreath on the coffin of a party supporter, who was killed in violence during the run-up to last month's presidential and parliamentary elections. Besigye was earlier found not guilty of a charge of rape by the High Court in the capital Kampala, which had been brought against him by the state. The presiding judge, Justice John Bosco Katutsi, the prosecution had failed to prove its case. Besigye recently lost the election to incumbent president, Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, and his ability to campaign in the run up to polling day was greatly affected by having to repeatedly attend the case in court. He is also facing a charge of treason along with 22 others, and the trial resumes 15 March 2006. AFP PHOTO / STUART PRICE. (Photo credit should read STUART PRICE/AFP/Getty Images)
