See how his camera captured it Associated Press the events that have taken place in the world in the last seven days.

New South Wales, Australia: Fiery fronts have no end

Shocking are the images that come daily from Australia, where the fiery fronts still turn huge areas to ashes. The flames also reached the city of Eden (which in Greek means Paradise), which is close to the range of Hell.

Firefighters in various parts of the country have launched evacuation operations and are urging citizens to leave their homes. The area of ​​New South Wales, home to Sydney and the capital Canberra, is the hardest hit, with firefighters working hard to put out the blaze.

Tehran, Iran - Baghdad, Iraq: The region smells of gunpowder again

The US airstrikes in Baghdad, which resulted in the death of Iranian General Qassem Suleimani, have created an explosive situation in the region. In his homeland, thousands of people gathered in Tehran to accompany him to his last home, but his funeral turned out to be a tragedy, as dozens of people lost their lives and the number of injured was almost the same.

At the same time, in Baghdad, despite the fact that the US and Iran seem to be choosing the path of de-escalation, Iraq, which has been shaken by years of conflict and discord, remains in the eye of the storm, with unrest continuing.

Guanica, Puerto Rico: A flower (even fake) blooms in ruins

More than half of Puerto Rico's population of 3 million were left without electricity, while thousands slept in the countryside after a series of earthquakes shook the country. The island is beginning to count its wounds, while Egelados has not yet calmed down. A painted flower on the wall of a collapsed school summarizes the picture after the great disaster.

Paris - Marseille, France: Dynamic strike in the fog and after music

The strike wave in France has not only not subsided after almost five weeks of mobilization, but has widened. In fact, 400 protesters controlled the entrance to the Gravelin nuclear power plant in the north of the country, while 40% of teachers participated in the demonstrations en masse.

At the same time, transport problems continue, with France largely "paralyzed". However, the participants in the strikes not only do not seem to be frightened, regardless of the weather conditions in Marseille, but they mobilize creativity, as in Paris, where the marches take place after music.

London, UK: Megxit shakes waters more than Brexit

The joint announcement of Prince Harry and Megan Markle that they are distancing themselves from their royal duties, fell like a bomb on the daily life of Great Britain, which was in the process of being reorganized from Brexit. However, it seems that Megxit is gaining as much interest for the general public of the country (if not larger) and will probably not know which "exit" to manage.

Kiev, Ukraine: Mourning and many questions about the air tragedy

The case of the air tragedy in Iran, which claimed the lives of 176 people, is evolving into a thriller. The news of the crash of a Boeing 737 of Ukraine International Airlines (UIA), shortly after its take-off from Tehran International Airport, shocked both Ukraine and the international public.

Initially there was talk of mechanical damage, but then the scenario came to light that a rocket hit the aircraft over the Paradise area. The relatives of the victims, who are still mourning the loss of their own people, are looking for the answer to how the tragedy happened.

Istanbul, Turkey: Shock in the Bosporus

A man who dived in the Bosphorus for the Holy Cross the Epiphany was pulled unconscious by Coast Guard officers and divers, who rushed at him when everyone understood what had happened. He was immediately offered first aid and underwent cardiopulmonary resuscitation before being taken to a hospital in Istanbul. His image is shocking…

Frankfurt, Germany: Like a thriller scene

A woman crosses the train tracks at a Frankfurt station, with fog covering everything. And for many people this scene may sound like a thriller, but for the inhabitants of the German metropolis it is a common image, especially in winter.

Neom, Saudi Arabia: A motorbike upsets real camels

The world's toughest motorsport race, the Dakar Rally, has now been moved from South America to the Middle East, with Saudi Arabia hosting this year's race. The scenery in the desert is impressive, with the motorized "beasts" breaking the silence of the desert, however, the camels, who seem to have been frightened at the passage of the motorcycle of the French Harley Herbst, should not agree with that.
