0:00:10 > 0:00:12Good morning, Jenny here with your Wednesday Newsround.

0:00:12 > 0:00:15This lunchtime, the Prime Minister, Theresa May, will answer questions

0:00:15 > 0:00:18from Members of Parliament, after she made a really important

0:00:18 > 0:00:21speech about the future of Britain.

0:00:21 > 0:00:23Mrs May announced some big decisions about how Britain

0:00:23 > 0:00:27will work in the future, now it's leaving the European Union.

0:00:27 > 0:00:31She also said Britain would leave a group called the Single Market.

0:00:31 > 0:00:34Some other politicians, like the Scottish First Minister,

0:00:34 > 0:00:36Nicola Sturgeon, are unhappy about the decision,

0:00:36 > 0:00:42which she says could be very bad for Scotland and for Britain.

0:00:42 > 0:00:43So what do "Brexit", "Single Market",

0:00:43 > 0:00:46and all the other words we've been hearing, actually mean?

0:00:46 > 0:00:50Ricky's got this one.

0:00:51 > 0:00:53If you've been watching the news lately,

0:00:53 > 0:00:55you will have heard a lot of...

0:00:55 > 0:00:56Brexit. Britain voted for Brexit.

0:00:56 > 0:00:57Brexit. Brexit.

0:00:57 > 0:00:58Brexit.

0:00:58 > 0:01:00And probably a few...

0:01:00 > 0:01:01The European Union. Control.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03Immigration.

0:01:03 > 0:01:04Oh, and don't forget...

0:01:04 > 0:01:05The Single Market. Article 50.

0:01:05 > 0:01:07Exiting the EU.

0:01:07 > 0:01:09But what do they all mean?

0:01:09 > 0:01:11Let's start with Brexit.

0:01:11 > 0:01:13No, it's not the name of a new breakfast cereal.

0:01:13 > 0:01:18It's simply two words put together, Britain and exit -

0:01:18 > 0:01:20together that makes Brexit.

0:01:20 > 0:01:24So, what exactly is Britain exiting?

0:01:24 > 0:01:28Well, last year adults in the UK voted to leave the European Union,

0:01:28 > 0:01:31which is a bit like a club, only this club is made up of

0:01:31 > 0:01:3428 countries who work together.

0:01:34 > 0:01:37The UK has been part of it for more than 40 years,

0:01:37 > 0:01:40but most people who voted thought that it would be better

0:01:40 > 0:01:44for decisions to be made in the UK rather than in the EU.

0:01:44 > 0:01:46So, how do we leave?

0:01:46 > 0:01:49By activating something called Article 50.

0:01:49 > 0:01:52Think of it as a giant red button -

0:01:52 > 0:01:55once it has been pressed, the process to leave

0:01:55 > 0:01:57the European Union officially begins.

0:01:57 > 0:02:01It's not really a red button, though, but it is very important.

0:02:01 > 0:02:05Now, leaving the EU won't happen overnight.

0:02:05 > 0:02:06Loads of things need to be discussed.

0:02:06 > 0:02:10For example, how do we live and work with all the other countries

0:02:10 > 0:02:12in Europe once we've waved goodbye?

0:02:12 > 0:02:14Well, two of the biggest issues being talked

0:02:14 > 0:02:17about are immigration control and the single market.

0:02:17 > 0:02:20Let's start with the first one.

0:02:20 > 0:02:22Immigration - that's when people move to a different country

0:02:22 > 0:02:25to live and work.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28At the moment, people who are from the EU have the right

0:02:28 > 0:02:30to live and work here in the UK.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32The Prime Minister says she wants more control over our borders

0:02:32 > 0:02:36to limit the number of people coming to live here from overseas,

0:02:36 > 0:02:38and that means she's made a big decision on Britain's place

0:02:38 > 0:02:41in the Single Market.

0:02:41 > 0:02:43So, what's that?

0:02:43 > 0:02:45Well, at the moment, the UK is part of the Single Market,

0:02:45 > 0:02:47which makes it easier for countries in the

0:02:47 > 0:02:50European Union to do business.

0:02:50 > 0:02:52There are rules that everyone in the Single Market

0:02:52 > 0:02:55needs to sign up to, and one of those is that people

0:02:55 > 0:02:59from the European Union have the right to come and live

0:02:59 > 0:03:01and work here in the UK.

0:03:01 > 0:03:04Theresa May says that the voters made it clear they didn't want

0:03:04 > 0:03:07the EU making those rules, and so Britain will be

0:03:07 > 0:03:09leaving the Single Market,

0:03:09 > 0:03:13and that means the UK has got to make lots of decisions about how

0:03:13 > 0:03:15we buy and sell things, not just with Europe,

0:03:15 > 0:03:19but what the rest of the world too.

0:03:19 > 0:03:20So, there you have it.

0:03:20 > 0:03:23That's a lot of words.

0:03:23 > 0:03:24Thanks, Ricky.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27Now, there's loads more info about Brexit and what the

0:03:27 > 0:03:30Prime Minister has announced over at Newsround online.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32To footie, and it was a very exciting night for fans

0:03:32 > 0:03:35of the FA Cup last night, as two non-league

0:03:35 > 0:03:36teams created a shock.

0:03:36 > 0:03:39Lincoln City beat Ipswich Town of the Championship 1-0 in their

0:03:39 > 0:03:42FA Cup third round replay.

0:03:42 > 0:03:45The drama was left until the 91st minute, when Nathan Arnold scored

0:03:45 > 0:03:51a well-deserved winner for Lincoln, who'll play Brighton next.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54And another non-league side, Sutton United, also made it through.

0:03:54 > 0:03:58They beat League One's AFC Wimbledon 3-1 in their replay.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00Tonight's matches include Liverpool's FA CUP replay

0:04:00 > 0:04:06against Plymouth Argyle.

0:04:06 > 0:04:08Where do you go after living in the White House?

0:04:11 > 0:04:13President Obama and his family move out this week,

0:04:13 > 0:04:15to make way for President Trump,

0:04:15 > 0:04:17and this is the house they'll be moving to.

0:04:17 > 0:04:19It's unusual for presidents to remain in the capital,

0:04:19 > 0:04:23but they're staying so Mr Obama's daughter Sasha can finish high

0:04:23 > 0:04:26school with her friends.

0:04:32 > 0:04:34part in the Puppy Bowl, including three dogs

0:04:34 > 0:04:35with special needs.

0:04:35 > 0:04:39A referee keeps watch over the game, and fouls include things

0:04:39 > 0:04:40like touching each other's tails.

0:04:40 > 0:04:43The game was being filmed and will air on US TV

0:04:43 > 0:04:47as an alternative to the real Super Bowl.

0:04:47 > 0:04:49That's all from the team for now.
