13. Breaking News: Berlusconi to Resign as Italy PM




Berlusconi to resign as Italy PM
Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi says he will resign on Tuesday, more than three weeks after his narrow election defeat.

The announcement, reported by Italy's Ansa news agency, came after his centre-right alliance failed to get its candidate elected as Senate speaker.

Italy's highest court has confirmed the victory of the centre-left coalition.

Mr Berlusconi had until now refused to concede, saying the vote was too close. He will be replaced by Romano Prodi.
