Visitors to New York's Times Square use umbrellas to shield themselves against the rain as they walk past the Armed Forces Recruitment Center. Before Election Day, politicians are expected to spend more than $1 billion to pelt voters with millions of cheap online ads, which can be tailored to a voter's most personal details — down to one household or even a single individual.

People inspect a damaged site after airstrikes on the town of Ariha, in Idlib province, Syria, on Thursday. Warplanes struck the town in a rebel-held enclave in northwestern Syria, killing several people, including some who were fleeing the attack, opposition activists and a rescue service said Thursday. The attack, believed to have been carried out by Russian warplanes backing a Syrian government offensive, also put a local hospital out of service, they said.
