Austrian President to meet FPO leader amid speculation of government formation

Austria's conservatives say they will now enter coalition talks with the far-right Freedom Party, in a major shift in policy. The conservatives' newly appointed leader says he expects the far-right to be asked by the president to form a government. The pro-Russia Freedom Party won the most seats in September's parliamentary election but will need a coalition partner to govern. Chancellor Karl Nehammer announced his resignation on Saturday after coalition talks which did not include the Freedom Party, collapsed. Al Jazeera’s Alex Baird reports.
