A mass brawl erupted in the Italian parliament during discussions over new tax laws.

The fight erupted when Leonardo Donno, an MP from the centre-Left Five Star Movement, tried to present an Italian red, white and green flag to Roberto Calderoli, the coalition's minister for regional affairs and autonomy.

There are tensions over new measures giving regions greater autonomy over how tax revenues are spent, which critics claim will make the south of the country poorer.

Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani expressed regret over the incident which saw one lawmaker leaving the chamber in a wheelchair.

It came as the prime minister hosted leaders including Joe Biden, Rishi Sunak and Emmanuel Macron at a G7 summit in the south of the country.
