BERLIN (Reuters) - Chancellor Angela Merkel and the leader of Germany's Social Democrats (SPD) will meet late on Tuesday to try to hammer out a "grand coalition" agreement in a decisive round of negotiations expected to last until far beyond midnight.

The final scheduled round of talks between Merkel's conservatives and the SPD begins at 7:30 p.m. (6:30 p.m. British time). They have a long list of unresolved issues to sort out that subordinates failed to agree on during a month of negotiations.
