The stories that led the day, ranked by how many independent outlets covered each one.

500 police officers in Frankfurt did not save the city from riots — hundreds detained, while fuel sales were restricted at gas stations in the Nizhny Novgorod region after a drone attack. As Europe deals with protests, Serbia arrested its head of criminal police, and Heidi Klum chose a severed hand costume for her Halloween party — apparently, the theme of the season is set.
