on a big day for the UK, as the Prime Minister

:00:17.:00:19.

makes a big decision about the future of the country.

:00:20.:00:21.

The Prime Minister, Theresa May, has made a really important speech

:00:22.:00:25.

It's all about the big vote which happened last year for the UK

:00:26.:00:30.

A little over six months ago the British people voted for change.

:00:31.:00:48.

They voted to shape a brighter future for our country. They voted

:00:49.:00:52.

to leave the European Union and embrace the world. They did so with

:00:53.:00:58.

their eyes open. Accepting that the road ahead will be uncertain times,

:00:59.:01:03.

but believing that it leads to a brighter future for their children

:01:04.:01:04.

and grandchildren, too. The Prime Minister said she's made

:01:05.:01:07.

some big decisions about how Britain will work in the future,

:01:08.:01:09.

now it's leaving the European Union. She also said that the UK

:01:10.:01:12.

would be leaving something But politicians from other parties

:01:13.:01:14.

say that that decision The First Minister of Scotland,

:01:15.:01:18.

Nicola Sturgeon, said She said that coming out

:01:19.:01:24.

of the single market would affect jobs and the economy

:01:25.:01:28.

and that it was the wrong So what do "Single Market"

:01:29.:01:31.

and all the other words we've been We're going to need

Ricky for this one. If you have been watching the news

:01:43.:01:52.

lately you will have heard a lot of the word Brexit. Probably a fewer

the European Union. Control, immigration. Single market. Exiting

:01:58.:02:06.

the EU. What do they mean. Breaks it. It is not the new name of a

:02:07.:02:11.

breakfast cereal, it is two words put together, Britain and exit.

:02:12.:02:17.

Together making Brexit. What is Britain exiting? Last year adults in

:02:18.:02:22.

the UK voted to leave the European Union, which is a bit like club,

:02:23.:02:27.

only this club is made up of 28 countries, working together. The UK

:02:28.:02:31.

has been part of it for more than 40 years. Most people who voted thought

:02:32.:02:36.

it would be better for decisions to be made in the UK rather than the

:02:37.:02:42.

EU. How do we leave? Activating something called Article 50. Think

:02:43.:02:50.

of it is a giant red button, once pressed, the process to lead the

:02:51.:02:55.

European Union officially begins. Not really a red button, but very

:02:56.:03:04.

important. Leaving the EU will not happen overnight. Loads of things

:03:05.:03:16.

need to be discussed. How do we live and work with all the other

:03:17.:03:28.

countries in Europe once we have waved goodbye? Two of the biggest

:03:29.:03:32.

issues talked about our immigration control and the single market. The

:03:33.:03:36.

first one, immigration, that is when people move to a different country

:03:37.:03:39.

to live and work. At the moment people from the EU have the right to

:03:40.:03:42.

live and work in the UK. The Prime Minister says she wants more control

:03:43.:03:45.

over our borders to limit the number of people coming to live here from

:03:46.:03:48.

overseas. That means she has made a big decision about Britain's place

:03:49.:03:51.

in the single market. At the moment the UK is part of the single market,

:03:52.:03:54.

making it easier for countries in the European Union to do business.

:03:55.:03:56.

There are rules that everyone in the single market needs to sign up to,

:03:57.:03:59.

one of those is that people from the European Union have the right to

:04:00.:04:02.

come and work and live in the UK. Theresa May says the vote has made

:04:03.:04:05.

it clear they did not want the EU to make those rules, so it Britain will

:04:06.:04:08.

be leaving the single market. That means we have to make decisions

:04:09.:04:10.

about how we buy and sell things with Europe, and the rest of the

:04:11.:04:14.

world. Daily habit. That is a lot of words.
