We present branching fraction measurements for the radiative decays B+ -> rho+ gamma, B0 -> rho0 gamma, and B0 -> omega gamma. The analysis is based on a data sample of 465 million BBbar events collected with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric B factory. We find BR(B+ -> rho+ gamma) = (1.20 +0.42 -0.37 +/-0.20) x 10^-6, BR(B0 -> rho0 gamma) = (0.97 +0.24 -0.22 +/-0.06) x 10^-6, and a 90% C.L. upper limit BR(B0 -> omega gamma) < 0.9 x 10^-6, where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic. We also measure the isospin-violating quantities Gamma(B+ -> rho+ gamma) / 2Gamma(B0 -> rho0 gamma) - 1 = -0.43 +0.25 -0.22 +/-0.10.

    LHCb reports the first experimental evidence for the Bs0 to K- pi+ gamma decay with 3.5 sigma significance and measures its branching fraction ratio to the B0 decay in two mass ranges.
