Abstract
The time-dependent CP asymmetries of B0 → π+π− and
B

$$ {B}_s^0 $$
→ K+K− decays are measured using a data sample of pp collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.9 fb−1, collected with the LHCb detector at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The results are

All results are consistent with earlier measurements. A combination of LHCb measurements provides the first observation of time-dependent CP violation in
