European leaders meeting in Brussels agreed to create space for 100,000 more refugees and migrants in reception centers along the so-called Balkan Route, which the multitudes have followed from Turkey to northern Europe.  Greece will create 30,000 spaces on its own; the UN will create another 20,000 in Greece and 50,000 more in the Balkan countries.  Nations will also be "discouraged" from moving the migrants over borders "without informing neighboring countries".  European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said, "Waving them through has to be stopped and that is what is going to happen."

A whale-watching boat sank off the coast of British Columbia in western Canada, killing at least four people.  Emergency people say nine people have been transferred to hospitals.  It's believed 27 people were on board.  This happened off Tofino Village on Vancouver Island in what locals said was a clear and sunny day, thus making it unlikely that the weather played a role.

Several people are still in hospital tonight after last night's high speed ferry accidents off Hong Kong.  The vessel was returning from the gambling city of Macau when it struck an unknown object in the water near Lantau Island.  It soon lost power and began taking on water, worrying injured passengers, some of whom waited on board for hours as the rescue effort unfolded.

Former Guatemalan TV comedian Jimmy Morales won the country's presidency by a landslide in a runoff election, after promising to clean up a government fouled with corruption.  "As president I received a mandate, and the mandate of the people of Guatemala is to fight against the corruption that is consuming us," Morales said.  His predecessor Otto Perez is awaiting trial behind bars, accused of taking millions of dollars in bribes in exchange for allowing businesses to avoid paying import duties. 

Conservative opposition candidate Mauricio Macri got an unexpectedly large share of votes in Argentina's presidential election, winding up in first place.  But Macri didn't get enough for a clear majority and faces a 22 November run-off against against Daniel Scioli, backed by outgoing President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner.   Scioli led the polls prior to the balloting and led the exit polls preceding the vote count.

Poland's conservative and Euroskeptic Law and Justice party sailed to a big victory in weekend elections.  It's the first time since 1989 that a party has won enough seats to govern on its own, without coalition partners.  And it's the first time since 1989 that there will be no left-wing party in parliament.  The Law and Justice party won on a combination message of higher child care benefits and tax breaks for the less well-off, coupled with a harder line on the EU and its welcoming attitude towards refugees from Africa, the Middle east, and South Asia.
