The top photos of the week by AP photojournalists

On Jan. 30–Feb. 1, 2026, AP photo editor Jon Orbach curated a gallery showcasing images from the past week, published by the AP.
Against major debates, The Independent emphasizes the need for reporters on the ground, citing investigative work such as 'The A Word' documentary.
The gallery's selections include contentious beats such as reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, and The Independent invites donations to sustain reporting that lets journalists 'speak to both sides of the story.'
The Independent says it is trusted by Americans across the political spectrum and chooses not to lock reports with paywalls to support broad public access.
As a recurring weekly feature, the gallery presents 'top photos of the week', points readers to last week's edition, and asks donors to support continued reporting by The Independent.
