24/06/2016 Newsround

Hi, I'm Naz, live in London on what's been a historic day.

After more than 40 years, the UK has decided to leave

I'm here with a special Newsround live from outside

It's been a huge day with the news that the UK has voted to leave

the club of 28 countries known as the European Union, or EU.

Just take a look kindly. There are hundreds of people still here. Lots

of media here from newspapers, TV, radio, lots of people here all

trying to get news of that special moment and that decision was

announced. I was also there and this is what happened.

This means that the UK has voted to leave the European Union.

This was the moment we knew that Britain

In the end, more adults voted to leave than to stay in

which left people who wanted to leave very happy.

David Cameron has just stepped outside.

It's been confirmed that the UK will leave the European Union.

The British people have voted to leave the European Union

I will do everything I can as Prime Minister

to steady the ship over the coming weeks and months.

But I do not think it would be right for me to try to be the captain

that steers our country to its next destination.

As you've just heard, David Cameron has told us

he is stepping down as Prime Minister,

but it won't be for another three months

so the Conservative Party has time to choose a new leader.

The decision to leave could have a huge effect

Scotland and Northern Ireland voted to stay in.

Now politicians in Scotland are talking about whether there

should be a new vote on independence from the UK.

I can therefore confirm today that in order

to protect that position, we will begin to prepare for

legislation that would be required to enable a new independence

referendum to take place if and when Parliament so decides.

There is a huge amount to work out before the UK can

Many people who wanted to stay are worried by the result

of this vote, as so many things are uncertain.

But for many of those who wanted to leave,

this is a day to celebrate taking back control.

Well, joining me now is Theo Leggett.

It's his job to explain politics for people like you

Theo, were you surprised by the result of the vote?

I have to admit, it was. I was a baby 40 years ago when we first

joined the European Union. I never seriously thought that we would

leave. I believe the opinion polls which up until yesterday said the

vote would be for domain. What about the prime ministers stepping down?

We heard from him just a minute ago. Was that uprising for you? Not so

surprising. Once he had lost a referendum that he had called, it

was a vote against his position and he had led the campaign, he couldn't

carry on. He had to hand over to somebody else who could carry on the

negotiations with 27 other countries to at where we go from here. The

decision means a lot of uncertainty. We have had lots of questions from

people back at home and we apologise that we cannot and saw all of them.

Jonathan wants to know why the younger generation don't get to

vote. Blame the politicians, Jonathan! They make up the rules.

There is a question that slightly younger people should be given the

vote so perhaps young people should stand up and say they want that

boat. Jacob who is ten from West Yorkshire asks, I'm going on holiday

to Spain in a couple of weeks. Will this affect the number of euros I

can get? I'm afraid it will because -year-olds are going to become more

expensive for us but don't worry, you will still be able to enjoy your

holiday. -- euros are going to become more expensive. We have some

more questions here. We will be the first country TV is the EU so how

can we guarantee that we will be financially stable? You said it

yourself. Nobody really knows what is going to happen is other are no

guarantees. Although we voted to leave the European Union, it will

take us a couple of years before we actually do so we can work out how

it will all function in that time so don't panic just yet. Who will be

funding our projects and staff because I know that Crossrail was

heavily funded by the EU? That kind of funding probably wants happen any

more. That comes from Europe and pays for broad temperatures but

don't forget, by leaving Europe we stop paying into the European budget

as well so in theory the British Government should be able to pay for

that kind of thing. My name is Ryan and I am curious to know how this

referendum will change the future of our students and our education? You

are 13 and you told me you plan to go to university. As part of the

European Union you have the right to live and work and study in the

European Union. It is possible but not certain that in the future you

might not have that right. Will have two wait-and-see. We have time for

one more. Who will take David Cameron's Place? At the moment it

looks most likely to be Boris Johnson because he has been leading

the league campaign. He is one of the more charismatic politicians in

the Government but other candidates could put their hands up as well.

Thank you, feel and you for joining us.

Well, Hayley's been to a school in Salford to find out

The adults of the UK have now voted that they want to leave the EU.

Well, I feel happy but at the same time I feel angry

because we pay ?350 million a month to the European Union.

Now that we've left the EU, we could spend it on health care.

We could be using the other countries for teamwork

and helping each other whereas now that we're on our own,

so we could lose a lot of things because of that.

How do you feel about us leaving the EU?

Most people who voted to leave were, like, over 65, and they won't have

to deal with the consequences in future generations.

I'm glad that we left the EU because the cost of

staying there we could spend on re-funding the NHS

I don't feel like I got enough information about it.

I'm a bit worried about the future for our generation

because we don't know whether it's going to change

I think that a lot of jobs will move away from the UK

so I won't get as good a job when I'm older

That's all we've got time for here at Westminster.

If you didn't have your question answered here, head online

where we have tried to answer as many as possible.

Thank you for watching and join us at the weekends where we will have

more of the news. Thank you for watching, buy buy.
