Standoff in Northolt

The scene at Wood End Lane this morning

Cordon ahead, blocking access to or from Whitton Avenue West

The world's media have gathered!

According to reports, there may be a disturbed person with dangerous substances, possibly a stockpile of petrol, and/or "dangerous aggressive dogs". For a proper report, try the Guardian Northolt standoff: armed police spend second night outside house.

Shortlist for the Willesden Herald short story prize 2016

Katy Darby, our judge for 2016, confirms that the shortlist for this year’s award, and therefore the stories to be published in Willesden Herald: New Short Stories 9, are as follows, in alphabetical order by title:

Title	Author
All That Remains	Rob Hawke
The Cliffs of Bandiagara	Catherine McNamara
Last Call at the Rialto	Daniel Waugh
Looking for Nathalie	Susan Haigh
Love and Hair	Olga Zilberbourg
The Mayes County Christmas Gun Festival	David Lewis
Supersum	Barbara Robinson
Twisted	Tracy Fells
Undercurrents	Gina Challen
The Volcano	Anna Lewis

(Update 3/11/2016: One story was withdrawn, and so the shortlist of ten has been updated accordingly.)

And now you will have to wait till the results event to find out who takes the prize for overall winner this year! We’re excited and can’t wait for the actor readings and the book. We’re hoping to meet some of the writers in London, if you can make it. Over the next few days, we’ll be working on the book cover art and details of the event.

Thanks to all who entered and congratulations to the shortlisted. It has been a privilege and an adventure reading the stories sent in, appreciating the painstaking art that has gone into them, and experiencing the never-failing wonder of the short story form.

Bob Dylan, Nobel laureate

Scarlet Johansson is lovely in this pseudo home movie, which gradually becomes more surreal and troubling, to one of the Nobel laureate's more melancholy tracks, from Modern Times (2006). The flickering image of a corpse on a bed and the old people with a photo album are among the saddest you could ever find in a "pop" video, and easily missed.

A polite suggestion

Polite suggestion for Hillary Clinton in tonight's US presidential candidates' debate, forget the handshake with Trump - grab him by the balls and twist! And shimmy.
