  • An officer from the Atlanta Police Department puts his boot on a man's chest who is lying still in the gutter on the street. He and another person have been fighting in the downtown area and the officer has arrived in his patrol car after reports that a street brawl needed his interception. The officer's belt with a gun secured in its holster  can be seen from a low ground level angle. It is a desolate and sinister place and the lights from a passing car and the green fluorescent glow from a parking lot (car park) is in the background. The police officer needs to calm the violent situation, pacifying the two men before the matter gets out of hand and preventing him from causing more trouble, he places his weight on the thorax to pin the male on the ground.

  • A middle-aged man walks beneath the sign of the London Stock Exchange at their old premises known as the Tower.  The gent looks hunched as if with all the troubles of the world on his shoulders, a pessimistic view on the world. He makes a sorrowful figure with such a strong presence against the wall shadow. Three years after the so-called Big Bang in 1986, this location at the old Stock Exchange Tower became redundant with the advent of the Big Bang, which deregulated many of the Stock Exchange's activities as it enabled an increased use of computerised systems that allowed dealing rooms to take precedence over face to face trading. Thus, in 2004, the House moved to a brand new headquarters in Paternoster Square, close to St Paul's Cathedral.

  • Construction in the capital where The Pinnacle project is on hold on Bishopsgate in the City of London. Construction work has been suspended again on the Pinnacle in the City of London. Contractor Brookfield is understood to have been told to stop work following more funding concerns over the Square Mile's tallest tower. Brookfield restarted work last September after developer Arab Investments put together a new finance package. But a lack of a pre-let tenant has now caused further delays on site leaving Byrne Bros concrete cores standing idle. The Bishopsgate Tower, informally referred to as The Pinnacle, was to be a 288 m (945 ft), 64-storey skyscraper in the centre of London's main financial district.

It is composed of members of the Ulster Defence Association (largely those who once belonged to the now disbanded 2nd Battalion, C Company) and Loyalist Volunteer Force, most of whom are still part of the latter organisation.

  • A loyalist wall 300th anniversary mural in a protestant area of Belfast showing King William of Orange (the Dutch-born King Billy), the hero of protestant Northern Ireland whose victory at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690 ensured a protestant northern Ireland. The Battle was fought between two rival claimants of the English, Scottish, and Irish thrones - the Catholic King James and the Protestant King William - across the River Boyne near Drogheda on the east coast of Ireland. The battle, won by William, was a turning point in James' unsuccessful attempt to regain the crown and ultimately helped ensure the continuation of Protestant ascendancy in Ireland.

  • Using the Latin motto 'Quis Separabit' meaning 'Who shall separate us?' we see a detail of a political painting in a street off the Shankhill Road in Belfast, Northern Ireland. This Loyalist mural may have been drawn by a paramilitary artist, whose handiwork is the crest of the protestant Ulster Defence Association (UDA), the organisation behind many a sectarian action against neighbouring catholic supporters of the Irish republican Army (IRA). In loyalist areas, the red, white and blue of the British Union Jack is painted on kerbs, houses and railings to signify peoples' allegiance to the crown, having historically followed the 17th century activities of King William of Orange against Catholics..

  • Stopping work for a moment to pose for a portrait on the sea wall at Lowestoft, Suffolk, England, a team of the resort's lifeguards show their youth, fitness and bodies beautiful, displaying themselves in the sun of a fine summer day. There is only one female member but some are standing on the wall while others are seated in deck chairs, a ladder seat or on the hot sand near three sexy girls are are sunning themselves near a railing. Wearing bikinis one is not asleep but eyeing-up some of the alpha-male specimens  on show wearing only red shorts. Meanwhile, holidaymakers walk past with ice-creams. It is a bright scene and obviously a busy time for these safety experts when tourists forever get themselves into danger in the sea and surf. Currents here make for a hazardous experience for those unable to swim out of trouble.

  • Two serving soldiers in civilian suits but wearing the insignia and badges of the Royal Military Police (RMP), talk quietly together while poignantly paying their respects to the hundreds of markers that symbolise war dead. Crosses and poppies mark anonymous fallen British soldiers and other servicemen and women, all killed during recent conflicts. Dedications from loved-ones or simply well-wishers are written on the wooden crosses on the weekend that Britain commemorates those killed on active service in trouble spots and war locations around the world, the markers a laid on the grass of Westminster Abbey's lawns on Parliament Square, opposite the Houses of Parliament. Armistice weekend is largely held on the closest Sunday to the 11th hour of the 11th Day of the 11th Month, when hostilities famously ended in on 11th November 1918...

  • A woman police officer (WPC) stands with white paint plashed over her uniform during a public protest over the Poll Tax policies of Margaret Thatcher's government in 1990. It is dark and the trouble has been growing throughout the evening when the paint was thrown by unknown protesters. Angry crowds, demonstrating against Thatcher's local authority tax, eventually stormed the Whitehall area and then London's West End, setting fire to a construction site and cars, looting stores up Charing Cross Road and St Martin's Lane. The anti-poll tax rally in central London erupted into the worst riots seen in the city for a century. Forty-five police officers were among the 113 people injured as well as 20 police horses. 340 people were arrested.

  • While on ceremonial duties at the Queen's Buckingham Palace, members of the Welsh Guards prepare the finer details of uniform presentation at the Wellington barracks, opposite the Palace in central London, England. Buffing up their bearskin hats and brushing away any specks of dust from shoulders, they each help the other appear as near-perfect as they can before parading in front of thousands during the Changing of the Guard or at other times, during tropping of the Colour on the Queen's birthday occasion. Formed in 1915 by order of King George V,  have fought in every war since but are housed at the Wellington Barracks purely for ceremonial reasons, also serving on active duty in the world's trouble spots, where their professionalism is demanded by their British Ministry of Defence masters.

  • Standing late at night in the doorway of a Soho nightclub in Old Compton Street, London England, a bouncer provides security for his employer. Otherwise known as doormen or door supervisers, these usually hardened men offer a deterrent for anyone causing trouble inside ot out of licensed bars and clubs such as this. Lit from overhead spotlights, he looks menacing and capable of street violence - enough to urge troublemakers to move on quick. reflected in the glass is Ed's Diner a well-known eaterie in this street. Soho is known as a rather seedy but vibrant area of London's West End and late-night social disorder fuelled by excessive alcohol is pretty much normal.

  • Three women pass beneath the sign of the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI) in central London in 1991. With a passing red London bus in the road behind, it is a sunny, trouble-free day in the capital. But the bank was forced to shut its doors by the Bank of England amid fraud allegations and the closure lost about 20 local councils up to £30m in investments. (BCCI) was a major international bank founded in 1972 by Agha Hasan Abedi, a Pakistani financier. The Bank was registered in Luxembourg with head offices in Karachi and London. Within a decade BCCI touched its peak. It operated in 78 countries, had over 400 branches, and had assets in excess of US$20 billion, making it the 7th largest private bank in the world by assets.

  • 'Jesus said' Biblical quotations on a city church and bleak background tower blocks in the London borough of Southwark. Locals in these bleak south London streets may be uplifted by the words from the Christian scriptures, comforting the troubled with messages of humanity from the Bible, perhaps guiding Londoners incarcerated in the depressing 1960s tower block high-rises, homes to the poor and the dispossessed.
