German Parliament to Vote on Pension Bill
Chancellor Friedrich Merz's ruling coalition faces a key vote in parliament on a pension bill. A group of about 18 younger lawmakers from his own party has rebelled against the bill, which is due to go to a final ballot in the Bundestag at around 12:30 p.m. in Berlin. The move threatens to wipe out the coalition's majority of just 12 seats and deal another blow to Merz's credibility. Bloomberg's Oliver Crook reports.
