Here's your look at 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 a protest against reforms to the retirement and pension system in Argentina, firefighters working to contain a wildfire in California, Afghan migrants and refugees arriving at a port near Athens, Palestinian protesters clashing with Israeli soldiers and features from around the globe.
