In this Tuesday, July 1, 2014, Indonesian presidential candidates Joko Widodo, popularly known as "Jokowi" gestures during an interview with a local TV station in Jakarta, Indonesia. Indonesia's presidential race appears to have tightened dramatically less than a week before the election with credible polling showing front-runner and former Jakarta governor Widodo having lost virtually all the formidable lead he had before his nomination.

Vietnam plans to build 32 new coastal patrol vessels, boosting its maritime muscle and surveillance capacities amid an increasingly tense territorial dispute in the South China Sea with its far larger neighbor China. Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung said the government would spend US$540 million on the new coast guard and fishery patrol vessels. The decision was made Thursday, July 3, 2014, according to a government statement released later the same day. (AP Photo/Vietnam Coast Guard, File)
