By 4 in the afternoon, most men walking the streets of Sana'a are high, or about to get high — not on any sort of manufactured narcotics, but on khat, a shrub whose young leaves contain a compound with effects similar to those of amphetamines. Khat is popular in many countries of the Arabian peninsula and the Horn of Africa, but in Yemen it's a full-blown national addiction. As much as 90% of men and 1 in 4 women in Yemen are estimated to chew the leaves, storing a wad in one cheek as the khat slowly breaks down into the saliva and enters the bloodstream. The newcomer to Yemen's ancient capital can't miss the spectacle of almost an entire adult population presenting cheeks bulging with cud, leaving behind green confetti of discarded leaves and branches.
Pakistan's largest city has had a history of violence in recent years.
One major cause - sectarian disputes between majority Sunni and minority Shia Muslims - regularly rears its head.
In recent years there has been a spate of shootings, some of them sectarian, which have left many dead.
In 2002, there was a shoot-out between police and suspected al-Qaeda militants; two bomb attacks on foreigners, an alleged militant attempt on the life of President Pervez Musharraf, and the kidnapping and killing of US journalist Daniel Pearl.
And it was to Karachi that a journalist from the Arabic al-Jazeera television network was invited to interview two top al-Qaeda leaders.
The fact that al-Qaeda men were in Karachi rather than holed up in a tribal area may surprise some.
But in fact correspondents say militant suspects are probably less conspicuous in Karachi than even among sympathetic tribal groups in the north.
It was in 2002 that Yemeni national Ramzi Binalshibh, who claimed to have been one of the organisers of the 9/11 attack on the US, was captured after a three-hour gun battle at an apartment in Karachi.
Karachi is a densely populated port city, bursting at the seams. A 1998 census put the population at just under 10 million - but a more realistic figure is probably over 16 million.
The population is multi-ethnic, with about 500,000 new economic migrants arriving in the city every year - not just from the other provinces but also from neighbouring countries like Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka.
Filmed on the 1 November 09. Moving along one of the many canals in the Nad-e-Ali Valley in Helmand Province, Corporal Phillip Hodgson from Operational Mentoring and Liaison Team (OMLT) Four 2 YORKS, noticed something odd about the troops surroundings.
The locals we just passed all took off, said Cpl. Phillip Hodgson. So keep a look out for any enemy activity. It usually means we are going to be under attack soon.
After being here for five weeks, Hodgson and the rest of the OMLT have started to notice the subtle clues that help keep them on their toes while on patrol.
Its like a sixth sense you pick up when you are out on the ground, said Lieutenant Tom Dawson, the team commander. After being out here for a month you start to notice everything going on.

A great speech by George Galloway MP at the Bring the troops home protest on 24 Oct 2009 in London. He covers the Anti-Muslim sentiment in Britain which is a result of recent illegal wars.
At least 132 people have been killed and 520 injured in two car bomb attacks in Baghdad, Iraqi officials say.
The blasts hit the ministry of justice and a provincial government office near the heavily fortified Green Zone which holds many western embassies including that of the United States.
They came in quick succession at 1030 (0730 GMT) as people headed to work during the morning rush hour.
This is the deadliest attack in Iraq since August 2007 and comes three months after the US handed security control of cities to local forces.

The cost of fuel also is felt by street children on the streets in Nairobi Kenya.
As shown, the bomb bay of an RAF Nimrod aircraft at RAF Kinloss. The Nimrod, formed from the body of a passenger aircraft named the Comet, is to stop service and be chopped up at the end of the month.
Flying in its current form as the MR2 since the 1970s, the aircraft has come to the end of its service life.
No longer will the aircraft fly, the fleet will now be chopped up and moved to air museums, perhaps even being smelted and end up as razor blades or similar.
