Pictures of the week

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 protester raising her fist amid tear gas during a protest in Tehran, Iran; ice castles in Canada, and a couple celebrating the new year in a beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

This gallery contains photos from the week of Dec. 30, 2017 to Jan. 5, 2018.
