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.

Opposition supporters hold signs depicting national hero Simon Bolivar as they protest against Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez's proposal of constitutional change in Caracas December 2, 2008. Chavez is gambling his future on a referendum to change the constitution so he can run for re-election, even though he lost a similar vote last year. Chavez's fortunes could also be influenced by falling oil prices, which would deplete the government coffers and could restrict funding for popular programs. The signs read "Respect the will of the people".
