FILE - In this March 30, 2014 file photo, Australian Defense ship Ocean Shield is docked at naval base HMAS Stirling while being fitted with an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) and towed pinger locator to aid in the search for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, in Perth, Australia.

In this photo taken May 25, 2014, a protester holds a banner during an anti-coup demonstration in Bangkok, Thailand. The last time Thailand's army seized power, in 2006, some called it "the smiling coup." It was bloodless, and for a time, it was calm. Last Thursday, Thailand's army seized power again, overthrowing a popularly elected administration that won a landslide vote three years earlier. But this time feels much different.
