This week Europe saw protests against coronavirus restrictions as the continent once again found itself at the epicentre of the pandemic. 

Elsewhere, Azerbaijan took control of the first district Armenia agreed to cede as part of a peace deal to end hostilities in the Nagorno-Karabakh region.

Further afield, water cannons were used on anti-government protesters in Thailand.

This is how these and other key stories of the week were captured by photographers around the world.
