June 12, 2023: Berlusconi dies at 86, Trump is ‘toast,’ Barr says if case is proven, Philadelphia bridge collapse, Kevin McCarthy, Ukraine

1. Silvio Berlusconi, the billionaire media mogul and former Italian prime minister who transformed the nation's politics with polarising policies and often alarmed his allies with his brazen remarks, died on Monday aged 86.

2. Former U.S. Attorney General William Barr defended Special Counsel Jack Smith's 37-count indictment against Donald Trump, saying if the allegations the former president willfully retained hundreds of highly classified documents are proven true, then "he's toast.”

3. Philadelphia motorists endured long, frustrating commutes along clogged roadways on Monday morning, a day after a tanker truck fire caused an overpass on a major highway to collapse, forcing the closure of one of the U.S. East Coast's busiest routes.

4. U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said he hoped to get back on the right track after a conservative revolt paralyzed the Republican Party's efforts to advance its agenda in Washington.

5. Ukraine said its troops had recaptured a fourth village in a cluster of settlements in the southeast, a day after reporting the first small gains of a counteroffensive against Russian forces.
