JUST IN: Italian centre-right leader Silvio Berlusconi promised to support Prime Minister Enrico Letta in a confidence vote on Wednesday, staging a U-turn only days after he provoked a crisis by pulling his ministers out of the government.

Berlusconi abruptly changed course as dozens of rebels in his centre-right People of Freedom party prepared to vote for Letta. "We have decided, not without some internal strife, to support the government," the media tycoon told the Senate at the
end of a sometimes fiery debate.
Berlusconi's declaration capped a day that veered between high drama and what one centrist politician called a farce, as a flood of defections from his party persuaded the 77-year-old billionaire that there was no point in continuing resistance.
