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

0:00:12 > 0:00:14This lunchtime, the Prime Minister, Theresa May,

0:00:14 > 0:00:18will answer questions from Members of Parliament, after she made

0:00:18 > 0:00:20a really important speech about the future of Britain.

0:00:20 > 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 > 0:00:33Some other politicians, like the Scottish First Minister,

0:00:33 > 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 > 0:00:49Ricky's got this one.

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

0:00:53 > 0:00:54you will have heard a lot of...

0:00:54 > 0:00:56Brexit. Britain voted for Brexit.

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

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

0:00:58 > 0:00:59And probably a few...

0:00:59 > 0:01:00The European Union. Control.

0:01:00 > 0:01:02Immigration.

0:01:02 > 0:01:03Oh, and don't forget...

0:01:03 > 0:01:04The Single Market. Article 50.

0:01:04 > 0:01:06Exiting the EU.

0:01:06 > 0:01:09But what do they all mean?

0:01:09 > 0:01:10Let's start with Brexit.

0:01:10 > 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 > 0:01:19together that makes Brexit.

0:01:19 > 0:01:23So, what exactly is Britain exiting?

0:01:23 > 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 > 0:01:3328 countries who work together.

0:01:33 > 0:01:36The UK has been part of it for more than 40 years,

0:01:36 > 0:01:39but most people who voted thought that it would be better

0:01:39 > 0:01:42for decisions to be made in the UK rather than in the EU.

0:01:42 > 0:01:45So, how do we leave?

0:01:45 > 0:01:49By activating something called Article 50.

0:01:49 > 0:01:53Think of it as a giant red button -

0:01:53 > 0:01:55once it has been pressed, the process to leave

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

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

0:02:02 > 0:02:04Now, leaving the EU won't happen overnight.

0:02:04 > 0:02:06Loads of things need to be discussed.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09For example, how do we live and work with all the other countries

0:02:09 > 0:02:11in Europe once we've waved goodbye?

0:02:11 > 0:02:13Well, two of the biggest issues being talked

0:02:13 > 0:02:17about are immigration control and the Single Market.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19Let's start with the first one.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22Immigration - that's when people move to a different country

0:02:22 > 0:02:23to live and work.

0:02:23 > 0:02:26At the moment, people who are from the EU have the right

0:02:26 > 0:02:28to live and work here in the UK.

0:02:28 > 0:02:32The Prime Minister says she wants more control over our borders

0:02:32 > 0:02:35to limit the number of people coming to live here from overseas,

0:02:35 > 0:02:39and that means she's made a big decision on Britain's place

0:02:39 > 0:02:41in the Single Market.

0:02:41 > 0:02:42So, what's that?

0:02:42 > 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 > 0:02:49European Union to do business.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51There are rules that everyone in the Single Market

0:02:51 > 0:02:55needs to sign up to, and one of those is that people

0:02:55 > 0:02:58from the European Union have the right to come and live

0:02:58 > 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 > 0:03:12and that means the UK has got to make lots of decisions about how

0:03:12 > 0:03:15we buy and sell things, not just with Europe,

0:03:15 > 0:03:17but with the rest of the world too.

0:03:17 > 0:03:19So, there you have it.

0:03:19 > 0:03:22That's a lot of words.

0:03:24 > 0:03:25Next up, on Friday, Donald Trump will officially

0:03:25 > 0:03:27take charge of America.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29Leah has travelled to Trump's home city of New York

0:03:29 > 0:03:38to find out who he is, and what kids there think of him.

0:03:38 > 0:03:39Donald Trump is determined.

0:03:39 > 0:03:42I'm going to build a wall and Mexico's going to pay for it.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44Donald Trump is going to make America great again.

0:03:44 > 0:03:46God bless you!

0:03:46 > 0:03:49Donald Trump talks like this...

0:03:49 > 0:03:57Welcome to New York, the city that never sleeps.

0:03:57 > 0:04:03This is where Donald Trump was born, grew up and made a name for himself.

0:04:03 > 0:04:07But, despite that, many New Yorkers are not big fans.

0:04:07 > 0:04:09Donald Trump is a joke.

0:04:09 > 0:04:12I've never said I was a perfect person, nor pretended to be

0:04:12 > 0:04:13someone that I'm not.

0:04:13 > 0:04:15Donald Trump is not my president.

0:04:15 > 0:04:19So, just who is Donald Trump, then?

0:04:19 > 0:04:22Well, for starters, he grew up in this exclusive,

0:04:22 > 0:04:28well-off area of Queens, in this very house.

0:04:28 > 0:04:31He lived with his mum and dad, Mary and Fred Trump,

0:04:31 > 0:04:34and two brothers and two sisters.

0:04:34 > 0:04:37At school, he liked baseball and misbehaved, but from a young age

0:04:37 > 0:04:44he always had big ambitions to be rich and powerful.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47These kids have big ambitions in life too.

0:04:47 > 0:04:50Like Trump, they are growing up in Queens, but life

0:04:50 > 0:04:53for them is very different.

0:04:53 > 0:04:56I feel ashamed that I'm from Queens now, because this type

0:04:56 > 0:05:00of man grew up here, while I grew up in a whole other way

0:05:00 > 0:05:02because I was raised to be respectful to people.

0:05:02 > 0:05:05It's ridiculous to think that we're going to be led by

0:05:05 > 0:05:07this man who's so closed-minded.

0:05:07 > 0:05:11At the same time, it is kind of unsettling that we have a big

0:05:11 > 0:05:13billionaire buffoon that is going to be our president.

0:05:13 > 0:05:15His attitude, I think, does tick people off,

0:05:15 > 0:05:21and I think it'll get in the way of what he wants to do for America.

0:05:21 > 0:05:25All I can say is you have to be hopeful because maybe, you never

0:05:25 > 0:05:29know, he could do something good.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32Donald Trump really made a name for himself up here -

0:05:32 > 0:05:33that's Trump Tower.

0:05:33 > 0:05:36Now, after taking over his dad's company, he became known

0:05:36 > 0:05:41for being a billionaire businessman and a reality TV star...

0:05:41 > 0:05:42You're fired.

0:05:42 > 0:05:44..not for being a politician.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47Good morning, America.

0:05:47 > 0:05:50Trump's unexpected rise to the White House is the top story

0:05:50 > 0:05:53on American's biggest morning news show.

0:05:53 > 0:05:57He doesn't talk like a politician and he's been able to plough his way

0:05:57 > 0:05:59through it because he says, look, I am not politically correct,

0:05:59 > 0:06:04and I'm not a politician, and I think to people watching him,

0:06:04 > 0:06:07those who like him, that is deeply appealing.

0:06:07 > 0:06:10His entire persona circles very much around being successful -

0:06:10 > 0:06:14I am a winner, I am a success, I am a self-made man, and so on.

0:06:14 > 0:06:17We have the best pizza in the world in Staten Island.

0:06:17 > 0:06:19And those are the qualities that appealed to the schoolkids

0:06:19 > 0:06:26in the area of Staten Island.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28When I was younger, me and my mum used to watch

0:06:28 > 0:06:30the Celebrity Apprentice all the time, and I realised

0:06:30 > 0:06:34the firmness in his talk and how he always wanted to get things done.

0:06:34 > 0:06:36I personally feel that he'll do quite well,

0:06:36 > 0:06:37especially on the economy.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39He is very aggressive in how he speaks.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41It's just his way of expressing how he feels.

0:06:41 > 0:06:43A lot of people don't express it that way -

0:06:43 > 0:06:46that's why there are not familiar and that's why they don't

0:06:46 > 0:06:47like it that much.

0:06:47 > 0:06:55He wants to protect us by making sure that we have a border.

0:06:55 > 0:06:58The President of the United States of America is one of the most

0:06:58 > 0:07:01important jobs in the world.

0:07:01 > 0:07:05Now, some people say Donald Trump isn't the right leader for America,

0:07:05 > 0:07:10while others say it's time for a new kind of politician.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13Now millions of Americans, and people all over the world,

0:07:13 > 0:07:19will be waiting to find out what happens next.

0:07:20 > 0:07:21That's all for now.

0:07:21 > 0:07:25Newsround's back this afternoon at 4.20.
