FILE - In this April 2, 2013 file picture Canadian singer Justin Bieber performs at O2 World in Hamburg, Germany. German officials say Justin Bieber will have to pay the bill for his monkey’s two month stay at a Munich animal shelter. A spokesman for Munich’s customs office says the cost of care, food and vet visits for Mally is several thousand euros (dollars). That’s, of course, what you might call “chimp change” for the global superstar. Customs spokesman Thomas Meister says Bieber has until midnight Friday May 17, 2013 to claim the monkey seized by authorities March 28 when the singer failed to produce its papers after landing in Munich on tour. Bieber’s management company has asked the shelter to place the 20-week-old monkey in a zoo but hasn’t talked with customs. If not claimed, Mally becomes German government property and will likely go to a zoo in any case. (AP Photo/dpa, Sven Hoppe,File)

Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff has ordered her government to stop confiscating farmland to create new Indian reservations, government officials say, a policy reversal with major implications for one of the world's top agricultural producers. Brazil has in recent decades set aside about 13 percent of its territory for indigenous tribes. Vast additional areas, including prime territory for the production of soy, beef, sugar and other commodities, are under consideration for possible transfer. REUTERS/Ueslei Marcelino/Files

Internally displaced Rohingya people dismantle their tents getting ready to leave their camp in Sittwe, northwestern Rakhine State, Myanmar, Thursday, May 16, 2013. Tens of thousands of displaced Rohingya people live in the plastic-roofed tents and huts made of reeds, and they distrust nearly any order from a government that barely acknowledges they exist. Even as rain and wind from the edges of Cyclone Mahasen began to pelt the coast near the city on Thursday morning, most people camped there appeared to be staying put. Some, however, were taking down their tents and hauling their belongings away in cycle-rickshaws, or carrying them in bags balanced on their heads. (AP Photo/Gemunu Amarasinghe)

The benchmark Nikkei 225 stock index rose to 15,139.56 early Thursday before falling back slightly on profit taking. It has gained about 75 percent since November in a rally linked to high hopes for Primer Minister Shinzo Abe's policies, which have been dubbed "Abenomics." Japan's economy enjoyed a stronger than expected recovery last quarter, growing at a 3.5 percent annual pace as the government stepped up public works spending and eased credit to encourage investment.
