Pictures of the week

Highlights from the weekly AP photo report, a gallery featuring a mix of front-page photography, the odd image you might have missed and lasting moments our editors think you should see. This week's gallery includes: Spectators embrace on the playing field of the Stade de France outside Paris after explosions were heard nearby; a volunteer covers a large-screen TV showing images of Aung San Suu Kyi during a rainstorm in Yangon, Myanmar; and a Palestinian protester uses a slingshot against Israeli security forces during clashes in Ramallah, West Bank, following a demonstration to mark the 11th anniversary of former Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's death.

This gallery was produced by Patrick Sison in New York and contains photos published Nov. 6 - Nov. 13, 2015.
