Italy's Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte has resigned after accusing coalition partner Matteo Salvini of sinking the ruling coalition.
Addressing the parliament on Tuesday, Conte accused Salvini of endangering the economy for personal and political gain.
It comes after Salvini had tabled a no-confidence motion against the prime minister, withdrawing support for the populist government, after being in power for 14 months.
Italian President Sergio Mattarella accepted the resignation of Mr Conte and is due to begin consulting party leaders on Wednesday.
