Part I: discussion of recent papers/events

Part II: M. Grazzini. Abstract: I give a brief overview of the problems one has to face in doing fully exclusive NNLO calculations and I present an extension of the subtraction formalism that can be applied to compute NNLO corrections for a specific class of processes, namely, the production of colourless high mass systems in hadron collisions. I describe a numerical program that implements the new method in the case of Higgs boson production.
