In this photo taken Friday, May 2, 2014 copies of Anne Frank's diary are on display during an interview with the Associated Press at Theater Amsterdam. Seeking to engage a new generation with the tragic story of Anne Frank, a major new play based on the Jewish teenager's diary opens Thursday, May 8, 2014 in Amsterdam. It's the first time a theatrical production has been forged directly from Frank's actual writings since the award-winning 1950s play that escalated her story, then little-known, to the world's attention. It's being staged in a purpose-built 1,100 seat theater that includes a replica of the secret apartment where Frank and her family hid from the Nazis in World War II. (AP Photo/Evert Elzinga)

This undated photograph shows one of the 14 new species of so-called dancing frogs discovered by a team headed by University of Delhi professor Sathyabhama Das Biju in the jungle mountains of southern India. The study listing the new species brings the number of known Indian dancing frogs to 24 and attempts the first near-complete taxonomic sampling of the single-genus family found exclusively in southern India's lush mountain range called the Western Ghats, which stretches 1,600 kilometers (990 miles) from the west state of Maharashtra down to the country's southern tip.

Philippine National Police chief Allan Purisima addresses the media during a news conference on the police' arrest of Chinese fishermen at one of the disputed Shoals, the Half Moon Shoal, off the South China Sea Thursday, May 8, 2014 at the police headquarters in Quezon, northeast of Manila, Philippines. Purisima said the government will investigate 11 arrested Chinese fishermen if they illegally entered the country or committed other crimes, ignoring China's demand for them to be immediately freed. China pressed the Philippine government Thursday to immediately release the fishermen and their boat, warning Manila not to take any more "provocative actions so as to avoid further damage to the bilateral relations." Philippine maritime police took the fishermen into custody Tuesday in a disputed South China Sea shoal.(AP Photo/Bullit Marquez)
