We report the status of the Heavy Flavour Averaging Group (HFLAV) averages of
the $\tau$ lepton measurements We then update the latest published HFLAV global
fit of the $\tau$ lepton branching fractions (Spring 2017) with recent results
by BABAR. We use the fit results to update the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM)
matrix element Vus measurements with the $\tau$ branching fractions. We combine
the direct $\tau$ branching fraction measurements with indirect predictions
using kaon branching fractions measurements to improve the determination of Vus
using $\tau$ branching fractions. The Vus determinations based on the inclusive
branching fraction of $\tau$ to strange final states are about $3\sigma$ lower
than the Vus determination from the CKM matrix unitarity.
