Pictures of the week

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 features scenes from a landslide in Sri Lanka; an imam comforting an Egyptian man who lost four relatives in the EgyptAir crash; and performers rehearsing for a tourism conference in Beijing.

This gallery contains photos published May 14-May 20, 2016.
