A new month, a new week and new events give photojournalists the opportunity to capture the important moments that took place in the world. In Greece, February came in very cold, but the best days are coming.

Outside the Greek borders, the world moves as if it were in constant turmoil, with occasional moments of relaxation. We'll be highlighting these moments this week, while the last photo captures the look of the day.

Not much needs to be said about the photos below. They are concentrated in them what happened in the world last week.
