After marathon talks, German Chancellor Angela Merkel reached an agreement with Interior Minister Horst Seehofer about key immigration issues, avoiding a possible coalition break-up. Seehofer dropped his threat to resign, and Angela Merkel in return promised to tighten controls at the Austrian border.
