You're watching a special Newsround on an historic morning for the UK. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
I'm Ricky, live at Westminster, bringing you the massive news | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
that the UK has voted to leave the European Union. | :00:10. | :00:23. | |
I'm outside the Houses of Parliament in Westminster, | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
as children and adults across the UK wake up on a truly historic day. | :00:27. | :00:34. | |
It is very busy, there are so many journalists and camera people, | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
everyone is out here this morning, Nigel Farage was a moment ago. It is | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
busy because today is a huge news story. | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
The votes have now been counted after yesterday's EU referendum, | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
and the enormous news we're bringing you is that the has UK voted | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
to leave that club of 28 countries, the European Union. | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
Well, Theo Leggett, the BBC's Politics expert | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
Thank you for joining us. Tell us why this is such big news. Since I | :01:05. | :01:19. | |
was born, we have been members of the European Union and because of | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
that, a lot of the rules and regulations and laws that we live by | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
our not made here, they are made in Brussels in the headquarters of the | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
EU, and they affect so many aspects of our lives, where we can live and | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
go to school and work. That is all going to change. But we do not know | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
how it is going to change. We will speak to him later. We will be | :01:41. | :01:47. | |
asking you some questions at! I have been up all night, I have not had | :01:48. | :01:48. | |
any sleep, to bring you this report. You can hear the bongs of Big Ben | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
just behind me here in Westminster. After months and months | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
of campaigning, we will soon find out which way | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
the country has voted. Behind me is the Houses | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
of Parliament. There will be a lot of people | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
in there waiting really nervously tonight to find out | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
what that result is. They will be staying up | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
all night just like we are. Right now, all the votes | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
are being counted one by one at all the different centres | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
all over the UK. And at this one in Swindon, | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
the volunteers listened to dance music to help them count the votes | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
as quickly as possible. Everyone is counting far | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
quicker with the music on, It was quiet for a couple of hours | :02:38. | :02:39. | |
while the counting went on. Then around midnight, | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
Newcastle and Sunderland in the north-east of England became | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
some of the first places It was Remain for Newcastle, | :02:50. | :02:51. | |
but in Sunderland, a strong vote After that, the results | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
came in thick and fast. Voters have thought deeply | :02:58. | :03:10. | |
about this, many of them. Leaves are now headlined nearly half | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
a million, is that We are absolutely clear | :03:15. | :03:16. | |
now that there is no way It is getting a lot brighter, | :03:17. | :03:26. | |
the sun is starting to rise. The Leave campaign have done a lot | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
better than anyone could have thought and it looks like people | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
in the UK are waking up on this That is what has been happening | :03:36. | :03:53. | |
while you have been asleep. Theo is here still. I have gotten questions, | :03:54. | :04:01. | |
make them simple! Explain why voting to leave the European Union is such | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
a huge deal. Over here we have the British Parliament, where a lot of | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
our laws are made, but a lot of our laws are not made here, they are | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
made in Brussels in the EU headquarters. So that'll have to | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
stop now, we will be responsible for ourselves. It is a big change. Some | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
people are happy but other people are quite worried, why is that? Some | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
people think it is time we took control, some of the laws drawn up | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
in the European Union do not benefit us that much, and that we should be | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
responsible for ourselves. Look after ourselves. Are the people | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
think that by coming out of the European Union, we will be at a | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
disadvantage because the Europeans will not care about Britain. We have | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
some viewers here, thank you for coming here, Abdullah and Roumaisa, | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
you have some questions, is that start with us. Do you think that the | :04:52. | :05:00. | |
UK voted for leaving the EU because of the EU immigration and refugee | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
crisis? That is a really good question, and I think that was a big | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
part of it, not the only part but as you say there is a refugee crisis, | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
people from Syria and places like that are coming into Europe and once | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
they are here, they can pass all the way through without having to shore | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
-- show a passport. People on the Leave side were worried that those | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
people would come into Britain and end up taking up space in doctors | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
surgeries and schools. So they were worried. Is this the result of | :05:31. | :05:39. | |
people in the UK not using the vote? I do not think it is not using the | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
vote because lots of people dead, more than 32 million people voted. | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
-- lots of people did. But in the areas while where people were | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
expected to vote remain, fewer people turned out so might have had | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
impact. Have you got any questions | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
about what all this means? Go to Newsround online and let us | :06:02. | :06:03. | |
know, we'll put some of them to Theo We'll have plenty more | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
to tell you about right | :06:08. | :06:13. |
