:00:48. > :00:52.stable and effective government. Britain's European Commissioner,

:00:53. > :00:57.Lord Hill, resigns, with a warning about the path ahead. And at Euro

:01:01. > :01:06.for Wales to reach the quarterfinals. -- and own goal earns

:01:07. > :01:18.victory for Wales. Governments from across Europe have

:01:19. > :01:23.called on Britain to begin immediate negotiations to leave

:01:24. > :01:25.the European Union, following The six founding members

:01:26. > :01:32.of the EU said talks Here, the Vote Leave campaign

:01:33. > :01:36.insisted there was no rush. But Scotland's first minister

:01:37. > :01:39.Nicola Sturgeon said Westminster was in "political turmoil"

:01:40. > :01:42.and facing months of delay before Our political correspondent

:01:43. > :01:59.Ben Wright has our first report. Still in office, but losing power.

:02:00. > :02:03.David Cameron doesn't rule like he did. Defeated in his fight to keep

:02:04. > :02:07.Britain in the EU, the Prime Minister today watched an Armed

:02:08. > :02:12.Forces Parade in Lincolnshire while the EU demands decisions David

:02:13. > :02:16.Cameron is in no position to make. But for the leave supporters at this

:02:17. > :02:23.parade in Romford, a day to revel in victory. Lovely. Just what we

:02:24. > :02:29.wanted. Why is that? Because we remember the old days. And we don't

:02:30. > :02:33.like being bossed about. Very good, very confident we are out, really

:02:34. > :02:36.pleased with the vote. Happy as anything, happy we've got our

:02:37. > :02:40.independence back. Those who lead the leave campaign were keeping

:02:41. > :02:45.their heads down. Boris Johnson unusually quiet. Michael Gove

:02:46. > :02:53.alight. Hello, very nice to see you. But brief. The Prime Minister

:02:54. > :02:57.pledged to resign. Who's in charge? The Prime Minister remains in

:02:58. > :03:02.charge, the government remains committed to a big programme. We set

:03:03. > :03:06.out in the Queen's speech. We were elected just a year ago. In truth,

:03:07. > :03:10.politics is on hold. The Chancellor George Osborne has treated but

:03:11. > :03:14.hasn't been seen since Thursday despite turmoil on the markets. For

:03:15. > :03:19.government ministers who fought to remain, this is a weekend of serious

:03:20. > :03:23.soul-searching. But the consequences of Britain's division are coming

:03:24. > :03:27.into focus fast. Not least in Scotland, which voted to remain in

:03:28. > :03:30.the EU. The First Minister said she wanted immediate discussions with

:03:31. > :03:35.Brussels to protect its place in Europe. As Westminster is engulfed

:03:36. > :03:40.in political turmoil, and as a vacuum of leadership develops, I

:03:41. > :03:45.want to make clear that Scotland is led by a stable and effective

:03:46. > :03:49.government. As far as the EU is concerned, leave is leave. The

:03:50. > :03:54.British people have spoken and the answer is, we're out. And the UK

:03:55. > :03:58.should now immediately begin negotiations to go. But yesterday

:03:59. > :04:01.David Cameron said he would not trigger the formal process for

:04:02. > :04:07.leaving the European Union, that will be a job for his successor,

:04:08. > :04:11.expected in place by the autumn. So, what happens next? Today vote leave

:04:12. > :04:16.said the dust should settle over the summer and informal talks could

:04:17. > :04:21.start. There's very little evidence of a detailed plan. Leaving the EU

:04:22. > :04:25.will not be quick or simple. There are new trade deals to do and

:04:26. > :04:29.countless laws to unpick. I spoke to constituents and they said how long

:04:30. > :04:33.will it take? I said between 2-4 years. They were happy at the end of

:04:34. > :04:36.the process they would have an independent country. This place,

:04:37. > :04:40.Parliament, would be the sovereign government. A vote that split the

:04:41. > :04:45.country has left many delighted, the other half despondent. But the

:04:46. > :04:49.referendum itself was the easy part. Leaving the European Union is

:04:50. > :04:53.uncharted territory. Its impact on us, in the EU, impossible to guess.

:04:54. > :04:56.Well as EU ministers meeting in Berlin called for the immediate

:04:57. > :05:00.start to negotiations on a British exit the French Foreign minister

:05:01. > :05:02.said there must be no "cat and mouse game".

:05:03. > :05:04.Meanwhile Britain's one representative on the

:05:05. > :05:07.European Commission - Lord Hill - in charge

:05:08. > :05:10.of financial services - has said he'll step down next month.

:05:11. > :05:14.Our Europe Correspondent, Damian Grammaticas, reports.

:05:15. > :05:16.Pointing the way ahead, Germany's Foreign Minister.

:05:17. > :05:19.Surrounding him, his counterparts from the EU's

:05:20. > :05:29.Today they demanded the UK begin the process to withdraw

:05:30. > :05:34.We need to turn the page, we don't want a vacuum, and

:05:35. > :05:37.it's important now that these negotiations between the United

:05:38. > :05:40.Kingdom start in good faith, but as soon as is.

:05:41. > :05:44.Angela Merkel said there was no need for talks to get

:05:45. > :05:48.She understood the UK needed time to appoint a new Prime

:05:49. > :05:51.TRANSLATION: Frankly speaking it shouldn't take for ever.

:05:52. > :05:56.But I wouldn't pick a fight over a short period of time.

:05:57. > :05:58.But in Brussels, Lord Hill, on the right,

:05:59. > :06:02.The UK's only European Commissioner announced his

:06:03. > :06:07.I think that it's not possible for me to carry on

:06:08. > :06:12.You have to listen to the will of the British people that has

:06:13. > :06:16.And I have been very clear that the right thing to do is

:06:17. > :06:21.Appointed by David Cameron, his position, overseeing

:06:22. > :06:25.financial services markets in the EU, was untenable.

:06:26. > :06:27.Lord Hill says before negotiations over the UK's

:06:28. > :06:29.separation can start, Britain needs a clear idea

:06:30. > :06:31.of the deal it wants to

:06:32. > :06:39.People clearly have to do quite a lot of hard thinking as

:06:40. > :06:42.to what approach they want to take in those negotiations, what economic

:06:43. > :06:44.model they want to have, what relationship

:06:45. > :06:49.future with the EU and with the single market.

:06:50. > :06:50.At the moment, I

:06:51. > :06:53.don't think the Leave side have done that work.

:06:54. > :06:55.It was clear throughout the campaign they didn't know the

:06:56. > :06:59.So I think they've got to put their thinking

:07:00. > :07:04.caps on and work out how they think things could be organised in future.

:07:05. > :07:07.Already, events are moving forward, the logic of Brexit and whether the

:07:08. > :07:09.UK officially begins the process or not, it

:07:10. > :07:10.seems clear decisions will

:07:11. > :07:20.Damian Grammaticas, BBC News, Brussels.

:07:21. > :07:27.As we've also been hearing, Scotland taking more concrete steps towards a

:07:28. > :07:31.second independence referendum. Let's get more with Scotland editor

:07:32. > :07:37.Sarah Smith. In Edinburgh. And with the hope of remaining in the EU?

:07:38. > :07:41.That would be the aim and Nicola Sturgeon certainly looks as though

:07:42. > :07:44.she's getting ready to have another referendum on Scottish independence.

:07:45. > :07:46.At a cabinet meeting here today they agreed to start preparing the

:07:47. > :07:52.legislation that would be necessary for that. Sturgeon will absolutely

:07:53. > :07:56.commit herself to having another vote until she's sure voters

:07:57. > :07:59.frustration in Scotland over the EU result will definitely translate

:08:00. > :08:03.into increased support for independence. The SNP are very well

:08:04. > :08:06.aware a Brexit actually makes the case for an independent Scotland a

:08:07. > :08:11.bit more complicated, it raises all sorts of new questions about

:08:12. > :08:14.currency and border controls. Nevertheless, Nicola Sturgeon says

:08:15. > :08:19.she does think a second referendum is highly likely. And already the

:08:20. > :08:22.Scottish Government is talking to European leaders about trying to

:08:23. > :08:27.find ways to preserve Scotland's place inside the European Union. If

:08:28. > :08:31.she can, she would like to have another vote within the next two

:08:32. > :08:39.years. At this question settled before the UK actually leaves the

:08:40. > :08:42.EU. Jeremy Corbyn has said he will stand again for the Labour

:08:43. > :08:46.leadership if his critics succeed in triggering a new contest following

:08:47. > :08:50.the UK's decision to leave the EU. Mr Corbyn gave a speech in London to

:08:51. > :08:53.set out how he thought the party should move forward. The Labour

:08:54. > :08:55.leader has been accused by some of his own MPs of not campaigning hard

:08:56. > :08:59.enough to keep Britain in the EU. The decision to leave the EU has

:09:00. > :09:01.sent shockwaves through the country and around the world,

:09:02. > :09:04.rocking financial markets As voters begin to absorb

:09:05. > :09:09.the effects of the result, and its repercussions for years

:09:10. > :09:11.to come, our correspondent Judith Moritz has been speaking

:09:12. > :09:14.to leave voters in Sheffield to get their reaction

:09:15. > :09:18.as events have unfolded. You get plenty of

:09:19. > :09:25.Spanish cherries to the But many here say EU membership has

:09:26. > :09:35.left a bitter taste. Most voted to leave,

:09:36. > :09:39.but not all believed it Even when I voted, I still thought

:09:40. > :09:43.we would remain in the EU. But I do have reservations

:09:44. > :09:48.and wonder, have I made the right Over at the fishmongers,

:09:49. > :09:52.the prospect of what lies ahead is I went to bed Thursday night

:09:53. > :10:00.thinking I'm going to get up and still be

:10:01. > :10:02.in Europe Friday morning. I was shocked, stunned

:10:03. > :10:03.and Sheffield is actually a city divided

:10:04. > :10:17.almost exactly in half. 49% voted to remain

:10:18. > :10:18.in Europe, 51% to Of more than quarter of a million

:10:19. > :10:28.votes cast here, there were Many Out votes were protest votes

:10:29. > :10:36.against the government, People coming in all

:10:37. > :10:39.the time and taking Do you think that

:10:40. > :10:44.will change now then Everything is gone,

:10:45. > :10:54.everything is going. You know, we need more putting

:10:55. > :10:57.in to get Sheffield on its Sheffield is still split,

:10:58. > :11:02.but here, just as in the country as a whole,

:11:03. > :11:07.it was the believers country as a whole, it was

:11:08. > :11:10.the Leavers who spoke loudest. Judith Moritz, BBC News,

:11:11. > :11:11.Sheffield. Well let's get reaction

:11:12. > :11:22.to that from our political We heard in your report earlier,

:11:23. > :11:26.this call from Europe to leave as soon as possible. We haven't heard

:11:27. > :11:31.much action here. What is likely to be going on behind-the-scenes? It

:11:32. > :11:34.was never the case if Britain voted to leave the European Union we would

:11:35. > :11:38.simply tear up the membership card and be. This was always going to be

:11:39. > :11:43.a hugely complex and lengthy process. There are reasons why

:11:44. > :11:47.politically it feels range the calm today. The first is that politicians

:11:48. > :11:51.on the leave and remain side are still absorbing the magnitude of

:11:52. > :11:55.what has happened. This is absolutely huge. The second is that

:11:56. > :11:59.David Cameron in deciding to stay in office another three months and not

:12:00. > :12:06.trigger that leaving process, to go 50, has bought everybody time to

:12:07. > :12:10.think. People in the European Union have been agitating, demanding

:12:11. > :12:13.Britain gets on with this and triggers article 50 immediately. I

:12:14. > :12:17.understand European Parliament will vote on a resolution saying exactly

:12:18. > :12:21.that next week. Well they can jump up and down this is a right for the

:12:22. > :12:25.UK alone to begin that withdrawal process. That's another reason it's

:12:26. > :12:29.quite quiet at the moment while everybody thinks. Another factor is

:12:30. > :12:33.that the Tory leadership contest is about to get going and contenders

:12:34. > :12:36.for that, I'm sure, are going to be thinking through the cause of that

:12:37. > :12:40.contest what sort of deal, what they want, they are going to make that

:12:41. > :12:44.case to the Tory party membership. This divorce is not going to be

:12:45. > :12:46.quick and I don't think it's going to be easy.

:12:47. > :12:49.And there's a special Newsnight programme on BBC2 at 8.30pm,

:12:50. > :12:52.so in just over an hour, looking at the implications

:12:53. > :13:02.That's Life after Brexit - on BBC2 at 8.30pm.

:13:03. > :13:09.Within the past hour Wales have made it through to the quarterfinals of

:13:10. > :13:12.the European Championships in France after Northern Ireland scored an own

:13:13. > :13:15.goal. Sports editor Dan Roan reports from Paris.

:13:16. > :13:20.These fans have made plenty of friends here in France, determined

:13:21. > :13:25.to enjoy every minute of the year rose having waited so long to play

:13:26. > :13:28.in them. With both Wales and Northern Ireland exceeding all

:13:29. > :13:33.expectations here, neither wanted it to end now. This, a piece of British

:13:34. > :13:37.sporting history. The first time two home nations had met in a knockout

:13:38. > :13:39.match at a major tournament. Northern Ireland started well,

:13:40. > :13:45.Stuart Dallas forcing goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey into action. Shortly

:13:46. > :13:49.after, Wales thought they had taken the lead but their joy was fleeting,

:13:50. > :13:54.Aaron Ramsey's effort ruled out for offside. Soon the favourites were

:13:55. > :13:58.back having to defend. Hennessy again saving, this time from Jamie

:13:59. > :14:03.Ward. Wales most potent attacking weapon, Gareth Bale, allowed little

:14:04. > :14:07.space in a half of few clear chances. Against the run of play

:14:08. > :14:11.they should have taken the lead after the restart. Ramsey's cross

:14:12. > :14:21.deserving better than this from Sam Vokes. Northern Ireland living

:14:22. > :14:24.dangerously. Bale denied by in form Hamilton Academical keeper Michael

:14:25. > :14:30.McGovern. Bale was about to make an impact, his cross devoted in by the

:14:31. > :14:33.unfortunate Gareth McAuley. Wales finally with the breakthrough.

:14:34. > :14:37.Northern Ireland tried to respond but had nothing else to give. This,

:14:38. > :14:41.a cruel way for their campaign to end. They and their fans will be

:14:42. > :14:45.sorely missed. It's Wales with their third win of this competition who

:14:46. > :14:50.continue to make an impression on the tournament in a way few thought

:14:51. > :14:54.possible. In defeat the Northern Ireland team have been given a

:14:55. > :14:57.standing ovation by their fans behind me 20 minutes after the

:14:58. > :15:01.match. Today really belongs to Wales. Think about this for a

:15:02. > :15:07.moment, they are in the last eight of Euro 2015 having waited 58 years

:15:08. > :15:10.to qualify for a major tournament. They are making the most of the

:15:11. > :15:13.opportunity and they will play either Belgium or Hungary on Friday

:15:14. > :15:17.night in Lille for a place in the semifinals. They are in the

:15:18. > :15:20.favourable side of the draw and Wales will now start to believe they

:15:21. > :15:26.can go all the way to the final here in Paris. In rugby union England

:15:27. > :15:30.have completed an historic series whitewash against Australia. They

:15:31. > :15:36.beat the Wallabies 44-40 in Sydney, the first time a touring side has

:15:37. > :15:39.beaten Australia 3-0 for 45 years. Elsewhere, defeats for Wales and

:15:40. > :15:42.Ireland while Scotland beat Japan. More through the evening on BBC News
