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.

An elderly woman holds a candle as she attends a memorial ceremony at the Holodomor Memorial in Kiev on November 22, 2008. Leaders of four ex-Communist countries joined Ukrainian President Viktor Yuschenko on November 22, 2008 to commemorate the millions who died in a 1930s famine that Kiev calls an act of genocide by the Soviets. Saturday was also the fourth anniversary of the Orange Revolution, the mass street protests that brought the pro-Western Yushchenko to power, although little was done to mark the uprising, with which many have become disillusioned.

A woman and her child stand under a large tree as they listen during a visit by officials from conservation organization WWF in the village of Afiaso, Ghana Sunday Aug. 24, 2008. Years ago, no one thought twice about felling the rainforest around this village in West Africa. Afiaso, with 620 people, is on the border of Ghana's Kakum National Park, about 200 kilometers (120 miles) from Accra, where a 160-nation U.N. conference is discussing how deforestation and conservation fit into a new global treaty on climate change.
An undated handout photo obtained September 22, 2008, shows a reef that was under water 650 million years ago that Australian scientists said they had discovered in an outback mountain range and could provide fresh insight into early life on earth. The University of Melbourne researchers said the find could reveal fossils of the earliest examples of primitive animal life and also help trace the pattern of global climate change. The reef is believed to have existed for between five and 10 million years during a period of tropical climate squeezed between two major ice age events, said researcher Jonathan Giddings.

A student of the Geographic Institut of the Johannes-Gutenberg-University in Mainz (Germany) checks an air speed indicator atop of a test windscreen, which is fixed on the Rhone glacier near the Furkapass mountain pass (2429 metres/7969 feet altitude) in the Swiss Alps August 20, 2008. The students, directed by Professor Hans-Joachim Fuchs, are examining the influence of the windscreen on the temperature behaviour of the glacier, to check if it is possible to decelerate its melting process, caused by climate change.
