Colombia's Trade Minister Luis Guillermo Plata speaks to reporters in Bogota after the U.S. House of Representatives voted to delay a vote on a free trade agreement April 10, 2008. The U.S. House of Representatives voted on Thursday to indefinitely delay action on a free trade agreement with Colombia, a move the White House said it feared would kill the pact. Colombia has received billions in U.S. aid to help combat its guerrilla insurgency and cocaine trade and is Washington's closest ally in a region where left-wing leaders are touting socialism to counter U.S. free-market proposals.

Sport shoes are on display in a window at a store selling imported articles in Havana March 17, 2008. Since Fidel Castro first handed over power provisionally to his younger brother in July 2006 due to intestinal surgery from which he never fully recovered, calm has descended on Cuba. Officials insist Raul Castro will strive to improve living conditions without adopting the market socialism of China, though some Cuba watchers believe he will have little choice in the long run.

Israeli children walk through Kibbutz Kramim in the Negev desert March 4, 2008. Israelis abandoned the collective farms in droves as socialism fell from favour in the 1980s, urban centres flourished and many kibbutzim sank into debt as they struggled to weather hyperinflation, soaring interest rates and a broader economic crisis. Now, the kibbutz is staging a tentative comeback by embracing privatisation, reform and eco-friendly practices to attract young families looking for an alternative to the daily grind.
