I will review the status of factorisation predictions for charmless hadronic B meson decays. In particular, I will report on recent progress in obtaining a full NNLO calculation, and I will elucidate how non-perturbative methods as well as experimental measurements can help to further constrain the theoretical predictions.

We report preliminary measurements of the Branching Ratio (BR) for the charmless rare decays B0 -> pi0 pi0, B0 -> eta’ K*(892)0 and B+ -> Kbar*0 K*+. We also report the preliminary results for A_CP for B0 -> eta’ K*0 and the longitudinal fraction for B+ -> Kbar^*0 K*+. Previous Belle measurements of the BR for B^0 -> pi^0 pi^0 are significantly larger than theoretical expectations and employed...

We present the results of a new search for B-meson decays to omega omega, and omega phi. These modes, yet unseen, are related to B -> phi K* decays via an SU(3) rotation. Their study can therefore provide information regarding the unexpectedly small value of the longitudinal spin component (f_L) measured in B -> phi K* decays.
We also report the first Dalitz-plot analysis of charged B mesons...

Charmless B hadrons decays offer rich opportunities to test the Standard Model. For example, CP violation in charmless charged two-body and three-body B decays provides ways to measure the CKM angle gamma and to
search for New Physics. Also, vector-vector final states provide additional interesting observables. Here, we present the latest LHCb results on hadronic charmless B decays putting...

I review the extraction of gamma / phi3 from tree-level B -> DK decays. In particular, I discuss the effects of direct CP violation in D decays and the ultimate theory uncertainty.

The datasets that the LHCb and Belle II experiments are expected to collect in the coming years will allow a 1-degree precision measurement of the angle gamma (phi3) using Bch->D(*)0K(*) decays. To reach this goal a number of subleading effects must be taken into account. We disuss these corrections, including the impact of D-Dbar mixing and possible CPV in D decays.

Quantum correlation results from D threshold data will be reviewed, with an emphasis and more details on the recent results.
Some key issues to address in the future are also highlighted.

A review of the Belle gamma/phi3 measurements from B->DK will be presented. Results using the ADS, GLW and GGSZ methods are presented, along with the combined measurement of gamma/phi3 from Belle.

We report on an updated combination of all currently available tree-level measurements of the CKM angle gamma at LHCb. For the first time we include results obtained from a time integrated analysis of B+ -> DK+, D -> KS0Kpi decays; and of B0 -> DK∗0, D -> K+K-, pi+pi-, K+pi-, pi+K- decays; and from a time-dependent analysis of Bs0 -> DsK decays. The results represent the world's best...

The next generation B-factory under construction at SuperKEKB / Belle II is targeted to collect an integrated luminosity of 50ab^-1, starting in 2016. This large dataset will open up a new era of precision measurements in flavor physics. This talk will focus on the potential for a sub-degree precision measurement of the least constrained angle of the CKM unitarity triangle, gamma, and the...
