A demonstrator kneels in front of police after President Donald Trump held a political rally in Phoenix on Aug. 22. Authorities were on high alert as thousands of people lined up in the triple-digit heat to attend Trump's first political rally since the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia. Protesters filled the streets of downtown Phoenix and engaged in shouting matches and a few minor scuffles with Trump supporters, but those events were generally peaceful. After Trump's speech the protests turned unruly as police fired pepper spray at crowds after someone apparently lobbed rocks and bottles at officers.
A man rescues an injured girl after Saudi-led coalition fighter jets rained bombs in Sanaa, Yemen on Aug. 25. The airstrike leveled houses packed with civilians, killing at least 14 people, including eight members of a single family.
The bombing was the latest in a significant escalation in the coalition's air campaign in Yemen. Over the past two years, more than 10,000 people have been killed and 3 million displaced amid the coalition's relentless air campaign against Yemen's Iran-backed Shiite rebels.
The Saudi-led campaign is seeking to restore Yemen's internationally recognized government back to power.
People stand along Las Ramblas at a memorial for victims of last week's attack in Barcelona on Aug. 24. Fifteen people were killed and more than 120 others wounded in Barcelona and the nearby town of Cambrils last Thursday and Friday.

An officer comforts a crying woman as about a hundred migrants were cleared from a piazza on Aug. 24.
Police said in a statement the operation was necessary because the migrants remaining in the piazza had refused to accept city-organized lodging and because of the risk of cooking gas canisters and other flammable materials. Authorities have said such raids to clear migrants from buildings and squares, at least four since July in Rome, are part of anti-terrorism measures.
Asylum-seekers, mostly women and children, who had been allowed to remain temporarily in a nearby building hung signs out of its windows saying "We are not terrorists," as some threw canisters into the street. They were also cleared out, and brought to a police station.
Rescuers carry 7-month-old baby boy Pasquale Marmolo from the rubble of a collapsed building in Casamicciola, on Aug. 22, after a 4.0-magnitude earthquake struck Italy's resort island of Ischia during the height of tourist season.
Dozens of firefighters worked through the night for 14 hours, sometimes digging by hand, to dig Pasquale and his two older brothers out of their home, where they were trapped alone after their father was rescued and their pregnant mother managed to free herself.
