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.

New York Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly sits in his office under a painting of Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th U.S. President, during an interview, in New York, Tuesday Dec. 4 , 2007. Kelly chatted with ease about his law enforcement forefather, Theodore Roosevelt. Also about a new pet project, a "citizen satisfaction survey." And, of course, about a murder rate hitting historic lows. But when the subject turns to the buzz over whether he'll run for mayor, New York's top cop holsters his trademark crooked smile and cuts off the conversation with a polite, auto-pilot response. Heading the 36,000-officer New York Police Department, he insisted, consumes him.
