This week in pictures: Trump supporters in Capitol, snow record in Spain, waste islands in Bosnia

January 9th, 2021 Awake Goy

This week five people died after a mob broke into the US Capitol building while Congress met to certify Joe Biden’s win.

While in Europe, Spain recorded its coldest ever temperature ever at -35.8°C, floating waste was shown clogging a river in Bosnia, and the EU admitted a sharp rise in illegal sea crossings (with an overall drop in illegal migration).

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