AP PHOTOS: A selection of pictures from the past week

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 features a conductor leading a military band at the National People's Congress in Beijing's Great Hall of the People; passengers are reflected in glass as they go through a security checkpoint at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport; and a migrant child with chocolate stains on his face smiles in his mother's arm at the northern Greek border station of Idomeni.
