Lot of new or updated results from BABAR: prepare the future ofCP violation analysis by measuring branching ratios (B+(+-0)DK+, B+K*+0, B0Ds+a-0(2), BX) and/or requested quantities (robtained with B Ds+ Xlightdecays). Factorization: OK in B X decays (+SU(3) flavor symmetry) OK in B0 Ds+ a-0 where a heavy particle (Ds) is emitted. New measurement of the Ds branching ratio, improve the relative error by a factor of 2 compared to the present value. Rules out the hypothesis of intrinsic charm in B mesons with upper limits on B J/ D and B J/ D. Study of the c0production in B decay : could be due to b ccs transition. Conclusion
