: Cranes are seen at BAE Systems Govan yard during a misty morning in Glasgow, Scotland January 14, 2014. The British shipbuilding industry has been through a turbulent time after defence contractor BAE Systems announced in November that it planned to lay off 1,775 ship workers across the UK. The cuts signal the end of more than 500 years of shipbuilding in Portsmouth on England’s south coast. BAE is set to continue constructing ships in Glasgow, but showy entertainment venues, museums and new housing blocks have replaced many of the shipyards that once lined the citys famous River Clyde. Long gone are the days when the area was an industrial powerhouse producing around a fifth of the world’s ships. Now Glasgow promotes itself instead as a financial and commercial hub although it still struggles with high unemployment. Picture taken January 14, 2014. (REUTERS/Stefan Wermuth)

: Nigerian musician Keziah Jones sits on a sofa between guitars during an interview with Reuters at his home in Lagos February 25, 2014. A new superhero is fighting for freedom, justice and the Nigerian way in the mean streets of Lagos. And – oh, yes – he can dance too. Meet Captain Rugged, the creation of Nigerian musician Keziah Jones. He is the inspiration for Jones’s latest “blufunk” album release and, unusually, the subject of a graphic novel published along with it. The idea, Jones says, is to show off Nigeria’s premier city to the outside world – as a place that is as arresting as Paris or London, yet also transformed by unshared oil wealth into a blight of shanty towns and homelessness.
