Yahoo ends talks with Microsoft and strikes deal with Google
Summary from multiple countries, from articles in English

Google and Yahoo said Thursday that they had reached an agreement under which Google would deliver ads next to some of Yahoo's search results and on some of its Web sites in the United States and Canada. (article 3) Yahoo Inc. said Thursday that any chance of a deal with Microsoft is dead, even as reports emerged that the internet portal could be headed for an agreement with rival Google. (article 7) Yahoo Inc.'s efforts to revive takeover talks with Microsoft Corp. have reached a dead end, prompting the Internet pioneer to hire online search leader Google Inc. to handle some of its advertising sales. (article 4) The news disclosed Thursday caused Yahoo shares to plunge 10 percent as investors abandoned hope that Microsoft would renew a nearly five-month quest to buy the Sunnyvale, California-based company. (article 4) Yahoo (YHOO, Fortune 500) struck an online advertising partnership with Google (GOOG, Fortune 500) late Thursday that it believes is a better deal than hooking up with Microsoft (MSFT, Fortune 500). (article 5) Yahoo announced its decision to let Google handle some of its advertising sales late Thursday, just a few hours after revealing it unsuccessfully tried to persuade Microsoft to renew its previous offer of $33 per share. (article 9)
