Merkel enters coalition talks
The German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, is beginning talks with the pro-business Free Democrats on forming a centre-right coalition. Mrs Merkel's CDU/CSU bloc is back in power after a sweeping victory in Sunday's general election.

There are some long days of talks to come, but the shape of Germany's new government is clear.
Angela Merkel can dump the centre-left Social Democrats she has uncomfortably cohabited with for four years, and instead invite the pro-business Free Democrats to join her as a junior partner. Together they will have a comfortable majority in parliament. Ms Merkel described the result as amazing.
Her opposite number, Social Democrat Frank-Walter Steinmeier had a terrible night, his party battered down to just 22.5% of the vote. It was, he said, a bitter defeat.
