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.

People enjoy their dinner at Buddha Bar Restaurant in Jakarta December 4, 2008. The chaotic capital of the world's most populous Muslim nation is rarely associated with glitzy nightlife, but new venues in Indonesia's Jakarta may soon see it challenging more cosmopolitan centres in the region. The city of about 10 million, or many more if thousands of unregistered poor flocking in from rural provinces are included, has just become the first city in Southeast Asia to host a Buddha Bar, the hip Paris-based franchise of restaurant/lounges.

Argentine farm leader Alfredo De Angeli (C, bottom) sits with other demonstrators to block a road, while Argentine border policemen stand aside, on the outskirts of Gualeguaychu, some 240 km (150 miles) north of Buenos Aires, May 29, 2008. The Argentine government modified on Thursday its controversial grains export tax regime, making more small producers eligible for rebates and also lowering the tax rate when soy prices rise above $600 per tonne. A new tax on hugely profitable soy angered farmers, who have held three massive protests in less than three months, causing a political crisis for President Cristina Fernandez.
