The past week has been full of events throughout the world, with each country having its own highlights.

For the United States, the presidential election which took place on 3 November has been marked with uncertainty over the outcome since four battleground states have yet to finish counting votes. 

The rest of the world continues its fight against the coronavirus pandemic, while continuing to postpone major political, cultural and sports events. 

Check out Sputnik's gallery to catch up with the most outstanding events of the past week.

© AFP 2023 / Jeffrey Groeneweg / ANPA photo taken in Spijkenisse, on 2 November 2020 of a Dutch metro train that was saved from disaster when it smashed through a safety barrier but was prevented from plummeting into the water by a sculpture of a whale tail. The driver of the train, who was the only person on board, was unharmed in the incident, which happened just after midnight at Spijkenisse, near the port city of Rotterdam. The front carriage was left hanging 10 metres (30 feet) above the water, propped up only by the giant silver-coloured sculpture -- called, improbably, "Saved by the Whale's Tail".
