Present status of the possible black hole microlensing events and the present understanding of high frequency quasi-periodic oscillations in systems containing black hole candidates (BHCs) are briefly discussed. The growing evidence for the presence of the event horizons around some compact objects is reviewed. Finally, the news from four individual objects (SS 433, GX 339-4, CI Cam and Cyg X-3) are presented and the updated list of BHCs, containing 49 objects is given.
