Lampedusa, gateway to Europe for Africa's migrants
October 21, 2019 - Lampedusa, Italia: A statue of Jesus Christ attached to a cross made of paddles in the church of Lampedusa. The Catholic church is involved in helping migrants who reach the island of Lampedusa from North Africa as part of its religious message of welcoming the stranger. Since the early 2000s, Lampedusa, the European territory closest to Libya, has become a prime transit point for irregular migrants from Africa, the Middle East and Asia wanting to enter Europe. In 2004 the Libyan and Italian governments reached a secret agreement that obliged Libya to accept African immigrants deported from Italian territories. This resulted in the mass repatriation of many people from Lampedusa to Libya between 2004 and 2005. From January to April 2015, about 1600 migrants died on the route from Libya to Lampedusa, making it the deadliest migrant route in the world. (Mehdi Chebil/Polaris) (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS)

David Beckham rallies troops and military dogs to support England's 2018 World Cup bid in Camp Bastion
David Beckham rallied British troops to support England's 2018 World Cup Bid at Camp Bastion, Afghanistan today (Sunday)
He joined 903 EAW (Expeditionary Air Wing), the team that manages Bastion airfield. RAF firefighters from 903 greeted him wearing Back the Bid 2018 scarves and waving a St.George's flag.
Only last week RAF firefighters were heavily involved in supporting their US counterparts fighting a massive fire at the neighbouring US base at Camp Leatherneck.
Sergeant Simon Marsh said: "We had 35 RAF firefighters and four RAF vehicles involved helping to fight the fire. It's a classic example of the British and the US working together."
He later distributed Back the Bid badges to the troops he met while touring the enormous camp in soaring temperatures.
Warrant Officer Steve Bowden said: "David's visit has helped us all get in the right frames of mind for the World Cup - he has really made us feel part of the excitement back home
"It's very easy and understandable that people here get detached from all the day to day events at home and we have thousands of England fans here."
"We'd all love England to be successful in their Bid for the World Cup in 2018 - to see the world's best tournament in our own country."
Beckham is the Vice President and Ambassador of the World Cup Bid 2018 and handed in England's official Bid Book to FIFA in Zurich last week.
On Saturday, the Royal ...

LAE, Papua New Guinea (May 25, 2011) Military personnel and civilians embarked aboard the amphibious transport dock ship USS Cleveland (LPD 7) swim during a morale, welfare and recreation swim call. Cleveland is the primary platform for Pacific Partnership, a five-month humanitarian assistance initiative that completed its mission in Tonga and Vanuatu, and will visit Papua New Guinea, Timor Leste, and the Federated States of Micronesia.

U.S. Navy 'swim calls' - 2016
When you're job is sailing the seas, the World is your swimming pool.
These amazing pictures show sailors and marines from the U.S. Navy taking part in what they call 'swim calls'.
Most recently pictured earlier this month (Feb) are those cooling off by jumping from into the Indian Ocean from guided-missile cruiser USS Antietam.
With the ship anchored, Swim Calls are seen as a refreshing break from the job of keeping high-tech battleships running.
The activity often occurs in warm foreign waters, such as the Mediterranean, Arabian and South China seas, the Indian and Pacific oceans.
Suffice to say, there will be people tasked with shark watch, from the ship and rigid-hulled inflatable boats.
Swimmers are able to clamber back onto the ship via landing docks or by climbing cargo nets.
