Anomalies in the heavy sector

Heavy flavour physics is well described by the Standard Model with the exception of some measurements which could be pointing to new physics. We briefly review status and prospects of $R(D^{(\ast )})$ and $R(K^{(\ast )})$ anomalies and also address the long standing tension in the $\mathrm{\mid }{V}_{cb}\mathrm{\mid }$ and $\mathrm{\mid }{V}_{ub}\mathrm{\mid }$ exclusive/inclusive determinations.
