BERLIN, GERMANY - NOVEMBER 27: German Chancellor and Chairwoman of the German Christian Democrats (CDU) Angela Merkel talks to the media with Chairman of the German Social Democrats (SPD) Sigmar Gabriel and Chairman of the Bavarian Christian Democrats (CSU) Horst Seehofer (not pictured) about the three parties' coalition contract after signing it earlier in the day on November 27, 2013 in Berlin, Germany. The three parties worked their way through arduous negotiations on policy issues that concluded with a 17-hour overnight session last night in order to hammer out the final details that will make a new German coalition government possible. The agreement still requires approval by party delegates, which especially in the case of the SPD is uncertain.

Berlin: German Chancellor Angela Merkel says she understands reporters' questions surrounding her health after two incidents this month in which she was seen shaking at public events, but insisted: "I'm fine."
Merkel said Saturday at the end of the Group of 20 summit in Japan that included a long-distance flight and grueling negotiations with other world leaders that "I'm convinced, just as this reaction occurred it will go away again."
The 64-year-old appeared unsteady and was seen shaking at a ceremony in Berlin on Thursday. Last week, Merkel's whole body shook as she stood outside in hot weather alongside Ukraine's president. Merkel said afterward that she was fine after drinking three glasses of water, which she "apparently needed."
