Breakthrough in Germany Coalition Talks

Chancellor Merkel's party reached agreement on sticking points with the Social Democrats.

Chancellor Merkel's party reached agreement on sticking points with the Social Democrats. We get reaction to the proposals from Kai Whittaker, a politician with Mrs Merkel's Christian Democrats. Also in the programme, we have a report from Peru on a corporate scandal that helped bring thousands of people on to the streets of Lima to protest against their president. Sarah Dander from the London Boat Show tells us what has been driving growth in the industry, and we talk to Susie Goodall, the only female sailor taking part in this year's Golden Globe round the world yacht race. Plus we look back at the rest of the week's big business stories with Stephanie Baker from Bloomberg in London, and Henry Curr of the Economist in Washington, DC.
