Defence Secretary, John Reid

The Defense Secretary, John Reid delivered a keynote speech given at King's College London today. It mainly focused on British troops in Iraq and the continuing controversy over treatment of prisoners and civilians in their custody. He emphasised the need to understand the position of British troops and the fact they were operating on an 'uneven playing field of scrutiny'. Afterwards there was a small reception where he chatted informally with MA and PhD students. These photos were taken for King's PR, and although there were lots of television crews present, there was only one other photographer taking pictures, and that was David Sandison from The Independent.

Andrew Roth

Andrew Roth runs Parliamentary Profiles, an organization which researches and produces profiles of politicians. He has an incredibly interesting life story with many amusing stories to tell. Look out for his autobiography which should be hitting the shelves in the not to distant future.

Cartoon Protest, Danish embassy, London

Following the publication of cartoons deemed offensive by some members of the Muslim community, Denmark as become a target for much anti-western feeling. These protesters in London marched from a local mosque to the Danish embassy where they chanted for Denmark to be 'nuked' and 'bombed', whilst claiming that freedom and democracy ahould be abolished.

I wasn't overly pleased with the pictures, they're a bit boring, but I had a pretty rushed day-with press shoots in the morning and Diplo shoot after this.
