Description
The SuperKEKB energy-asymmetric $e^+e^-$ collider has now started
commissioning and is working towards its design luminosity of
$8 \times 10^{35}$ cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$. The collisions will be recorded
and analyzed with the Belle II spectrometer, the construction of which is
on-going at the roll-out position. Highlights will include the outcome
of Phase I commissioning of the SuperKEKB accelerator, BEASTII background
commissioning and the most recent progress on the construction of the
Belle II detector.
