In news from Europe, Austria’s three main centrist parties reached a deal Thursday to form a new ruling coalition without involving the far-right Freedom Party that won Austria’s parliamentary elections five months ago.

Meanwhile, Germany’s conservative Christian Democratic Union, which won last Sunday’s elections, and the center-left Socialist Democratic Party are launching coalition talks today. The far-right Alternative for Germany party came in second place, but all other parties have ruled out forming a coalition with the AfD.
