    The CKM matrix is the only source of mixing among quarks of different generations in the Standard Model and provides a mechanism for CP violation. Testing this paradigm has been one of the most successful task of particle physics in the last decade, with an accuracy which has continuously increased in time, on both the experimental and theretical side. In this talk I review the current status...

    Hadronic Tau decays provide a unique opportunity to probe the coupling of the weak current to the first and second generations of quarks to an unprecedented precision. Recent results from Belle and BaBar extracting the CKM matrix element |Vus| will be presented.

    We report on i) the accuracy of the experimental inputs to Vus from precision measurements in the kaon sector and on ii) the sensitivity reached to the fundamental tests of the Standard Model, probing CKM unitarity and lepton universality.

    We report on recent results from BABAR and BELLE on leptonic decays of B mesons including: search for B -> tau nu, B -> l nu, and B -> l nu gamma. We also report recent results on B -> D tau nu.

    We will report on the status of the measurement and interpretation of moments in B->X_c l nu decays. We will also report on recent results from BaBar and Belle on radiative penguin decays of B mesons in B->X_s gamma.

    We present the update of the Unitarity Triangle (UT) analysis performed by the UTfit Collaboration within the Standard Model (SM) and beyond. Within the SM, combining the direct measurements on sides and angles, the UT turns out to be over-constrained in a consistent way, with some tension due to recently included contributions to the theoretical prediction of \epsilon_K and the updated...
