German Chancellor Angela Merkel and her Conservative Party have struck a deal with Social Democrat rivals to open government coalition talks.
The attempt to try to revive the power-sharing agreement that's been in power since 2013 must be approved by SPD members next week.
The talks also agreed common ground on strengthening the eurozone in close partnership with France and driving forward with reforms in the European Union.
