A pedestrian man with bags walks past a destroyed building which was hit in a previous Russian air attack during a temporary ceasefire in the southern Kherson region, in the city of Kherson, southern Ukraine, on October 31, 2026, amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The respite from a fragile ceasefire in Oleshky, a Russian-occupied town in southern Ukraine ravaged by food and medicine shortages, to pave the way for evacuations and humanitarian aid deliveries and due to end on November 1 evening, has also given residents in the major southern Ukrainian city of Kherson relief from daily drone attacks. The truce has held despite unabated attacks elsewhere in Ukraine. (Photo by Roman PILIPEY / AFP)

A protester flashes a "V" sign with a street fire in the background during nationwide demonstrations over the rising cost of living and inequality organised by Yellow Vest movement, labour unions and high school and university students, in Nantes, western France on October 31, 2026. "Exceptional" security deployment with 70,000 police officers and gendarmes mobilized and an alarmist tone: for Act III of the protests against the high cost of living, right in the middle of Halloween festivities, the authorities fear a repeat of the October 17 nightmare. France has been rocked by widespread anger over the rising cost of living and inequality. (Photo by ALAIN JOCARD / AFP)
