:01:10. > :01:13.an Armed Forces Day event in Lincolnshire. There to meet him, the
:01:14. > :01:16.Defence Secretary. People will say we now have a Prime
:01:17. > :01:19.Minister without political authority. He is in charge at the
:01:20. > :01:22.moment. The Prime Minister is in charge, the
:01:23. > :01:27.Government is committed to a big programme. We set it out in the
:01:28. > :01:31.Queen's speech. We were elected a year ago to continue dealing with
:01:32. > :01:35.the deficit, growing the economy, to create more jobs, and to invest in
:01:36. > :01:42.strong defence. The logic that you need a new
:01:43. > :01:46.captain to take the team forward, Team UK, forward in the
:01:47. > :01:52.negotiations, would be a healthier place. It is a sad day for all.
:01:53. > :01:57.David's legacy will live on. Now, do you recognise this man? And
:01:58. > :02:04.more to the point, have you seen him recently? The Chancellor, seen here

:02:13. > :02:15.the credit ratings agency, Moody's, downgraded the UK outlook to
:02:16. > :02:19.negative. We have heard nothing from George
:02:20. > :02:24.Osborne since the referendum, where is he? He spoke yesterday along with
:02:25. > :02:30.the governor of the Bank of England. There were warnings that there would
:02:31. > :02:36.be consequences from a Brexit. -- a Brexit vote. We have to work hard to
:02:37. > :02:40.get investment restarted in the economy and continue the successful
:02:41. > :02:44.record of job creation since you have seen since last year. Could
:02:45. > :02:49.this man be the Prime Minister by the autumn? He is the runaway
:02:50. > :02:57.favourite. But not all of his colleagues are head over heels about
:02:58. > :03:02.that. A senior Conservative who wanted a remain vote sate.
:03:03. > :03:09.Many have loved the notoriety and excitement but once you scratch the
:03:10. > :03:13.surface and ask the next question, a lot don't want a permanent ride on
:03:14. > :03:17.the big dipper. One thing that is certain about leaving the EU is this
:03:18. > :03:22.place will soon have a lot more power. A lot of huge decisions to
:03:23. > :03:26.makes a well. Whatever is in charge.
:03:27. > :03:30.Chris Mason, BBC News at Westminster.
:03:31. > :03:32.The Scottish Government is holding an emergency meeting
:03:33. > :03:47.She said Westminster is engulfed in you are toil. Holding talks with
:03:48. > :03:52.Brussels to protect Scotland's place in the EU, saying steps will be
:03:53. > :03:57.taken to ensure laws are in place to hold a second referendum. Nearly two
:03:58. > :04:01.thirds of Scottish voice wanted to remain within the EU.
:04:02. > :04:03.Foreign Ministers of the six founding members
:04:04. > :04:06.of the European Union are meeting in Berlin this morning to discuss
:04:07. > :04:08.the impact of the UK's vote to leave the EU.
:04:09. > :04:10.The President of the European Commission, Jean Claude-Juncker,
:04:11. > :04:12.says he wants to start negotiations about Britain departure immediately.

:04:17. > :04:23.In the capitals of Europe, the nations at the heart of the EU, its
:04:24. > :04:28.founding members were closing ranks today. In Berlin, foreign ministers,
:04:29. > :04:32.determined to preserve their union from the threats posed by Brexit.
:04:33. > :04:38.TRANSLATION: I think it is clear that we now have a situation that
:04:39. > :04:43.allows not for hysteria or paralysis. We cannot deteriorate, as
:04:44. > :04:47.if all of the answers were available, and we cannot, after the
:04:48. > :04:51.British decision, descend into inaction.
:04:52. > :04:56.If the photo shoot is staged, that is maybe as the shock of the UK's
:04:57. > :04:59.decision is still being felt. Brexit is not anything that anyone was
:05:00. > :05:04.preparing for. Across Europe there is a sense that discussions about
:05:05. > :05:08.the UK's withdrawal has to start soon. Nobody wants a vacuum now.
:05:09. > :05:12.This was Jean-Claude Juncker on German television.
:05:13. > :05:15.TRANSLATION: I have spoke tonne the British Prime Minister and
:05:16. > :05:19.established he wants to wait knoll October to have his successor hand
:05:20. > :05:23.over the letter to Brussels to explain the UK's decision. I would
:05:24. > :05:28.like the letter straight away. The British made clear that they would
:05:29. > :05:31.like to leave. While I don't want to accelerate the process, I want to
:05:32. > :05:36.get down to it quickly. And the position of the EU
:05:37. > :05:40.commissioner here on the right looks untenable. He oversees the financial
:05:41. > :05:46.markets, he may not be in charge of the area for longer. So events are
:05:47. > :05:54.moving forward, the logic of Brexit and whether or not the UK officially
:05:55. > :05:55.begins the process or not, it seems that decisions will be made without
:05:56. > :06:03.that decisions will be made without its input.
:06:04. > :06:10.I think that the meeting recently ended, what are you hearing there?
:06:11. > :06:14.This is the first indication we are getting of a unified European
:06:15. > :06:20.response to the British decision. These six foreign ministers were
:06:21. > :06:23.talking tough. They say they expect negotiations on Britain's ex-out
:06:24. > :06:29.from the EU to begin as soon as possible. Immediately, in fact.
:06:30. > :06:34.Either, they say, David Cameron must take responsibility, trigger Article
:06:35. > :06:38.50 and get on with the negotiations, or, they say, intriguingly, that a
:06:39. > :06:42.new British Prime Minister must be found within days and the
:06:43. > :06:45.negotiations must begin. London, they say, have a responsibility
:06:46. > :06:50.beyond Britain, a responsibility, they are saying, to the future of
:06:51. > :06:53.Europe. Now this is where it is interesting, they say that there are
:06:54. > :06:57.European treaties that Britain must abide by those but what is not
:06:58. > :07:01.answered is what pressure they can bring to bear on Britain in the
:07:02. > :07:05.negotiations don't start. One Foreign Minister summed it up when
:07:06. > :07:09.he said we don't want this to turn into a game of cat and mouse.
:07:10. > :07:11.Interesting, thank you very much. Jenny Hill in Berlin.
:07:12. > :07:15.Jeremy Corbyn has said that he will stand again if a Labour
:07:16. > :07:17.leadership contest is held following the UK's
:07:18. > :07:22.Mr Corbyn gave a speech in London to set out how he thought the party
:07:23. > :07:29.The Labour leader is being blamed by some of his own MPs for not
:07:30. > :07:34.campaigning hard enough to keep Britain in the EU.
:07:35. > :07:41.Our political correspondent Chris Mason is with me now.
:07:42. > :07:49.These are extraordinary time, Chris. Are what is striking this morning,
:07:50. > :07:53.is that usually I'm in the business of attempting to provide answers.
:07:54. > :07:57.What we have now are questions as a result of the consequences of what
:07:58. > :08:02.happened in the last 48 hours. We have seen that in terms of the
:08:03. > :08:06.consequences for Scotland and what the First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon,
:08:07. > :08:10.has been saying about the turmoil she sees at Westminster and the hope
:08:11. > :08:14.for a second referendum. We see it in Labour and the Labour MPs asking
:08:15. > :08:19.questions about Jeremy Corbyn and his future. They are not knew but a
:08:20. > :08:24.new environment in which they are asked. Then in the short-term, the
:08:25. > :08:29.biggest question of all: Who will be our Prime Minister in a matter of
:08:30. > :08:33.months? That race has begun. We are to see a summer of the leading
:08:34. > :08:37.contenders fighting it out in order to replace David Cameron in what
:08:38. > :08:38.ultimately now is just a matter of weeks.
:08:39. > :08:49.Thank you, Chris Mason. Now to the matter of Fire Brigades
:08:50. > :08:51.Union. -- now to the matter of football.
:08:52. > :08:56.It will be the first time ever two home nations have met
:08:57. > :08:58.in the knockout stages of a major football tournament.
:08:59. > :09:00.As Wales take on Northern Ireland later in their European
:09:01. > :09:04.Thousands of fans are expected to travel to Paris where our sports
:09:05. > :09:11.We have two teams that defied expectations. Wales in topping the
:09:12. > :09:17.group to reach Paris, Northern Ireland in getting out of one that
:09:18. > :09:21.included Germany. It is sure to be a special atmosphere here later.
:09:22. > :09:23.Here are two countries desperate to stay in Europe.
:09:24. > :09:27...or Northern Ireland, these fans don't want their summer
:09:28. > :09:32.I think we're going to go the whole way.
:09:33. > :09:34.I think we've come this far, we might as well.
:09:35. > :09:37.The English fans expected to top the group so we just
:09:38. > :09:38.bought their tickets off them.
:09:39. > :09:41.Wales arrive in Paris as the favourites.
:09:42. > :09:43.Their tournament so far, a showcase for their
:09:44. > :09:47.Their only setback has been a defeat to England.
:09:48. > :09:48.The manager says lessons have been learned.
:09:49. > :09:51.We never played anywhere near our capabilities because we got
:09:52. > :09:56.caught up in a game, with the emotion of it,
:09:57. > :10:04.So that's what we needed to put right.
:10:05. > :10:07.Michael O'Neill, on the other hand, demands emotion from his players.
:10:08. > :10:09.Northern Ireland's togetherness has helped to get them here.
:10:10. > :10:12.He knows they will need that more than ever to stay.
:10:13. > :10:14.The words of wisdom for the team are simple.
:10:15. > :10:20.We've got so much out of this tournament, it will benefit us
:10:21. > :10:25.We've wrung every drop we can, I think, out of it
:10:26. > :10:28.For both countries, this will be their biggest football
:10:29. > :10:44.So, after a combined wait of 88 years to play in a major tournament,
:10:45. > :10:48.Northern Ireland face Wales for a place in the quarter-finals.
:10:49. > :10:50.That's it for now - just a reminder that the BBC
:10:51. > :10:53.News Channel will have the very latest on all the developments
:10:54. > :10:56.surrounding the EU referendum throughout the day.
