:00:00. > :00:07.Hi, I'm Naz, live in London on what's been a historic day.
:00:08. > :00:11.After more than 40 years, the UK has decided to leave
:00:12. > :00:27.I'm here with a special Newsround live from outside
:00:28. > :00:33.It's been a huge day with the news that the UK has voted to leave
:00:34. > :00:42.the club of 28 countries known as the European Union, or EU.
:00:43. > :00:50.Just take a look kindly. There are hundreds of people still here. Lots
:00:51. > :00:54.of media here from newspapers, TV, radio, lots of people here all
:00:55. > :00:59.trying to get news of that special moment and that decision was
:01:00. > :01:00.announced. I was also there and this is what happened.
:01:01. > :01:03.This means that the UK has voted to leave the European Union.
:01:04. > :01:08.This was the moment we knew that Britain
:01:09. > :01:15.In the end, more adults voted to leave than to stay in
:01:16. > :01:18.which left people who wanted to leave very happy.
:01:19. > :01:22.David Cameron has just stepped outside.
:01:23. > :01:29.It's been confirmed that the UK will leave the European Union.
:01:30. > :01:32.The British people have voted to leave the European Union
:01:33. > :01:38.I will do everything I can as Prime Minister
:01:39. > :01:42.to steady the ship over the coming weeks and months.
:01:43. > :01:46.But I do not think it would be right for me to try to be the captain
:01:47. > :01:49.that steers our country to its next destination.
:01:50. > :01:53.As you've just heard, David Cameron has told us
:01:54. > :01:56.he is stepping down as Prime Minister,
:01:57. > :01:58.but it won't be for another three months
:01:59. > :02:03.so the Conservative Party has time to choose a new leader.
:02:04. > :02:06.The decision to leave could have a huge effect
:02:07. > :02:14.Scotland and Northern Ireland voted to stay in.
:02:15. > :02:16.Now politicians in Scotland are talking about whether there
:02:17. > :02:20.should be a new vote on independence from the UK.
:02:21. > :02:23.I can therefore confirm today that in order
:02:24. > :02:27.to protect that position, we will begin to prepare for
:02:28. > :02:30.legislation that would be required to enable a new independence
:02:31. > :02:35.referendum to take place if and when Parliament so decides.
:02:36. > :02:38.There is a huge amount to work out before the UK can
:02:39. > :02:43.Many people who wanted to stay are worried by the result
:02:44. > :02:46.of this vote, as so many things are uncertain.
:02:47. > :02:49.But for many of those who wanted to leave,
:02:50. > :02:53.this is a day to celebrate taking back control.
:02:54. > :02:55.Well, joining me now is Theo Leggett.
:02:56. > :02:58.It's his job to explain politics for people like you
:02:59. > :03:09.Theo, were you surprised by the result of the vote?
:03:10. > :03:16.I have to admit, it was. I was a baby 40 years ago when we first
:03:17. > :03:20.joined the European Union. I never seriously thought that we would
:03:21. > :03:24.leave. I believe the opinion polls which up until yesterday said the
:03:25. > :03:29.vote would be for domain. What about the prime ministers stepping down?
:03:30. > :03:33.We heard from him just a minute ago. Was that uprising for you? Not so
:03:34. > :03:37.surprising. Once he had lost a referendum that he had called, it
:03:38. > :03:42.was a vote against his position and he had led the campaign, he couldn't
:03:43. > :03:45.carry on. He had to hand over to somebody else who could carry on the
:03:46. > :03:53.negotiations with 27 other countries to at where we go from here. The
:03:54. > :03:56.decision means a lot of uncertainty. We have had lots of questions from
:03:57. > :04:01.people back at home and we apologise that we cannot and saw all of them.
:04:02. > :04:05.Jonathan wants to know why the younger generation don't get to
:04:06. > :04:10.vote. Blame the politicians, Jonathan! They make up the rules.
:04:11. > :04:13.There is a question that slightly younger people should be given the
:04:14. > :04:19.vote so perhaps young people should stand up and say they want that
:04:20. > :04:22.boat. Jacob who is ten from West Yorkshire asks, I'm going on holiday
:04:23. > :04:28.to Spain in a couple of weeks. Will this affect the number of euros I
:04:29. > :04:31.can get? I'm afraid it will because -year-olds are going to become more
:04:32. > :04:37.expensive for us but don't worry, you will still be able to enjoy your
:04:38. > :04:45.holiday. -- euros are going to become more expensive. We have some
:04:46. > :04:49.more questions here. We will be the first country TV is the EU so how
:04:50. > :04:55.can we guarantee that we will be financially stable? You said it
:04:56. > :04:59.yourself. Nobody really knows what is going to happen is other are no
:05:00. > :05:02.guarantees. Although we voted to leave the European Union, it will
:05:03. > :05:06.take us a couple of years before we actually do so we can work out how
:05:07. > :05:13.it will all function in that time so don't panic just yet. Who will be
:05:14. > :05:20.funding our projects and staff because I know that Crossrail was
:05:21. > :05:25.heavily funded by the EU? That kind of funding probably wants happen any
:05:26. > :05:28.more. That comes from Europe and pays for broad temperatures but
:05:29. > :05:32.don't forget, by leaving Europe we stop paying into the European budget
:05:33. > :05:37.as well so in theory the British Government should be able to pay for
:05:38. > :05:44.that kind of thing. My name is Ryan and I am curious to know how this
:05:45. > :05:49.referendum will change the future of our students and our education? You
:05:50. > :05:53.are 13 and you told me you plan to go to university. As part of the
:05:54. > :05:56.European Union you have the right to live and work and study in the
:05:57. > :06:02.European Union. It is possible but not certain that in the future you
:06:03. > :06:08.might not have that right. Will have two wait-and-see. We have time for
:06:09. > :06:13.one more. Who will take David Cameron's Place? At the moment it
:06:14. > :06:17.looks most likely to be Boris Johnson because he has been leading
:06:18. > :06:20.the league campaign. He is one of the more charismatic politicians in
:06:21. > :06:26.the Government but other candidates could put their hands up as well.
:06:27. > :06:27.Thank you, feel and you for joining us.
:06:28. > :06:29.Well, Hayley's been to a school in Salford to find out
:06:30. > :06:34.The adults of the UK have now voted that they want to leave the EU.
:06:35. > :06:38.Well, I feel happy but at the same time I feel angry
:06:39. > :06:41.because we pay ?350 million a month to the European Union.
:06:42. > :06:44.Now that we've left the EU, we could spend it on health care.
:06:45. > :06:46.We could be using the other countries for teamwork
:06:47. > :06:50.and helping each other whereas now that we're on our own,
:06:51. > :06:54.so we could lose a lot of things because of that.
:06:55. > :06:57.How do you feel about us leaving the EU?
:06:58. > :07:02.Most people who voted to leave were, like, over 65, and they won't have
:07:03. > :07:05.to deal with the consequences in future generations.
:07:06. > :07:08.I'm glad that we left the EU because the cost of
:07:09. > :07:11.staying there we could spend on re-funding the NHS
:07:12. > :07:15.I don't feel like I got enough information about it.
:07:16. > :07:18.I'm a bit worried about the future for our generation
:07:19. > :07:20.because we don't know whether it's going to change
:07:21. > :07:28.I think that a lot of jobs will move away from the UK
:07:29. > :07:30.so I won't get as good a job when I'm older
:07:31. > :07:40.That's all we've got time for here at Westminster.
:07:41. > :07:45.If you didn't have your question answered here, head online
:07:46. > :07:53.where we have tried to answer as many as possible.
:07:54. > :07:58.Thank you for watching and join us at the weekends where we will have
:07:59. > :08:01.more of the news. Thank you for watching, buy buy.
