This week protesters in Poland returned to the streets as a near-total ban on abortion came into force, Holocaust Memorial Day was marked around the world and a large tornado ripped through Alabama, in the U.S.

Meanwhile, Athens Zoo said it was on the road to extinction because of pandemic-related restrictions.

Here's how these and other stories from the week were captured by photographers around the world.
