:01:22. > :01:29.And we'll be looking at why 17 million people across the country

:02:06. > :02:07.to the BBC news at Six on what is unquestionably
:02:08. > :02:11.an historic day. The UK has chosen to come out
:02:12. > :02:14.of the European Union and set the country on a different path
:02:15. > :02:16.to the one it's known There have been scenes of jubilation

:02:33. > :02:39.as to who the next inhabitant The referendum result
:02:40. > :02:43.was close but decisive. The turnout was high -
:02:44. > :02:51.just over 72%. Our first report tonight
:02:52. > :03:04.is from our Political A gamble too far. David Cameron, a
:03:05. > :03:08.lucky politicians, whose luck just ran out.
:03:09. > :03:13.A vote he offered on our place in the world, a vote he lost.
:03:14. > :03:17.. I was absolutely clear about my belief that Britain is stronger,
:03:18. > :03:21.safer and better off inside the European Union.
:03:22. > :03:27.But the British people have made a very clear decision to take a
:03:28. > :03:30.different path, and as such, I think the country requires fresh
:03:31. > :03:34.leadership to take it in this direction.
:03:35. > :03:39.I will do everything I can as Prime Minister to steady the ship over the
:03:40. > :03:43.coming weeks and months but I do not think it would be right for me to
:03:44. > :03:49.try to be the captain that steers our country to its next destination.
:03:50. > :03:52.A defeat so big the consequences so complex, the Prime Minister and
:03:53. > :03:57.maybe his family too, have had enough.
:03:58. > :04:02.I've said before that Britain can survive outside the European Union
:04:03. > :04:06.and indeed that we could find a way. Now the decision has been made to
:04:07. > :04:12.leave, we need to find the best way. I will do everything I can to help.
:04:13. > :04:18.I love this country and I feel honoured to have served it. I will
:04:19. > :04:24.do everything I can in future to help this great country succeed.
:04:25. > :04:33.Thank you very much. But as that door close, what lies
:04:34. > :04:37.next? Chaos or opportunity? Boris Johnson, whose decision to push the
:04:38. > :04:45.Out campaign, gave it pulling power that might have made the difference.
:04:46. > :04:49.Shame on you Boris... He walked into hostility, not a victory parade as
:04:50. > :04:55.he left home this morning. The winning side, a campaign office, not
:04:56. > :05:01.a Whitehall address but maybe two wannabe primes.
:05:02. > :05:05.Michael Gove and Boris Johnson, eager to prays their friend and
:05:06. > :05:08.rival, David Cameron, and so mark the scale of the decision to leave
:05:09. > :05:13.the EU. To those who may be anxious, weather
:05:14. > :05:18.a the home or abroad, this does not mean that the United Kingdom will be
:05:19. > :05:23.in any way less United, nor indeed does it mean that it will be any
:05:24. > :05:28.less European. And I want to speak to the millions of people, directly
:05:29. > :05:34.to the millions of people, who did not vote for this outcome,
:05:35. > :05:40.especially young people, who may feel that this decision in so way
:05:41. > :05:45.involves pulling up a draw bridge or any kind of isolationism, as I think
:05:46. > :05:50.the very opposite is true. As we move forward we should be in no
:05:51. > :05:55.doubt that Britain is embarking on a new chapter but one that is in line
:05:56. > :06:01.with our best traditions. Now, we have a new chance to extend that
:06:02. > :06:05.openness even further. We can build a new, stronger and a more positive
:06:06. > :06:11.relationship with our European neighbours based on free trade and
:06:12. > :06:14.friendly co-operation. It was nearly 5am before the result
:06:15. > :06:18.was final. The British people have spoken, the
:06:19. > :06:22.answer is we are out. But an early push for out in
:06:23. > :06:31.Sunderland, had given a taste of victory to come.
:06:32. > :06:36.Brexit! Across the north of England in market and coastal towns votes to
:06:37. > :06:41.leave piled up and up. Wales chose out too, only sad faces for
:06:42. > :06:47.Remain-held London, Scotland and Northern Ireland. From tears to
:06:48. > :06:52.cheers they had been waiting so long to race, Nigel Farage, the first
:06:53. > :06:58.party leader to emerge up and early. It is a victory for ordinary, decent
:06:59. > :07:02.people. A victory against the big merchant banks and big businesses
:07:03. > :07:06.and against big politics. I'm proud of everybody that had the courage in
:07:07. > :07:10.the face of the threats, all that they were told, that they had the
:07:11. > :07:14.guts to stand up and do the right thing.
:07:15. > :07:18.As the Prime Minister said he was off, doubts spread about Jeremy
:07:19. > :07:22.Corbyn. #34r Corbyn what is your reaction to the prime resigning?
:07:23. > :07:27.Awkward, he now face as vote of confidence. The unions back him but
:07:28. > :07:32.many MPs believe he hung back rather than campaign hard.
:07:33. > :07:40.I campaigned the length and the breadth of the country on a party
:07:41. > :07:44.position to support remaining in Europe, recognising the deficiencies
:07:45. > :07:51.in the European Union, if tonight reform it. I made the points about
:07:52. > :07:55.jobs, environment protection. With you Remains smiles in Scotland
:07:56. > :07:59.could lead to another split as they warned with England choosing out and
:08:00. > :08:01.Scotland in, the SNP is calling for another vote on Scottish
:08:02. > :08:05.independence. It is a statement of the obvious,
:08:06. > :08:10.that the option of a second referendum must be on the table and
:08:11. > :08:14.it is on the table. People are coming to Westminster to
:08:15. > :08:19.witness this day, perhaps to make sense of what is really going on.
:08:20. > :08:23.In the last 24 hours we have decided to leave the European Union an
:08:24. > :08:29.institution that has been part of the fabric of our country sin the
:08:30. > :08:32.1970s. As a result, the Prime Minister resigned. There will be
:08:33. > :08:37.someone else in charge in Number Ten from the autumn and some of Labour's
:08:38. > :08:41.MPs are trying to force their leader, Jeremy Corbyn to walk away
:08:42. > :08:46.too. The First Minister of Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon, has said there must
:08:47. > :08:51.be a second referendum on the other union, the one between Scotland and
:08:52. > :08:57.the rest of the UK. It's not so much that this result has turned politics
:08:58. > :09:03.upside down but it shattered the established conventions.
:09:04. > :09:07.This flag will become a British souvenir, this one, the common
:09:08. > :09:10.standard. But our decision might trigger so much change, we may watch
:09:11. > :09:18.for years before the banner is final.
:09:19. > :09:25.The shock of today's result, not just in this building but throughout
:09:26. > :09:30.the country, it is palpable? It is. This result has changed so much and
:09:31. > :09:33.could change so much more. It is amazing when you think back that
:09:34. > :09:38.this referendum came about really because of a row within the Tory
:09:39. > :09:43.Party family that then the Ukip leader, Nigel Farage made the most
:09:44. > :09:47.of and over the years David Cameron felt inevitable to offer the choice.
:09:48. > :09:52.He did not think we would necessarily have the referendum but
:09:53. > :09:57.we did, and now in just one day, one decision, this has set off a whole
:09:58. > :10:01.lot of reactions, costing him his job, maybe costing the Labour leader
:10:02. > :10:05.his job, we will have to see about that but setting off a chain of
:10:06. > :10:10.reactions it is difficult to predict where it will end. It is as if the
:10:11. > :10:15.electorate did a spin of the roulette wheel, the ball is bouncing
:10:16. > :10:19.around and we don't know where it will land.
:10:20. > :10:23.The success of the Leave campaign was in part due to the strong vote
:10:24. > :10:26.in England to come out of the EU, where they beat the Remain
:10:27. > :10:30.Our correspondent Jon Kay has travelled across from Stamford
:10:31. > :10:32.in Lincolnshire to Dudley in the West Midlands -
:10:33. > :10:44.There's been a market in Stamford for hundreds of years but never a
:10:45. > :10:50.Friday like this. As traders set up, the UK's place in Europe was being
:10:51. > :10:55.dismantled. A result that left some nervous...
:10:56. > :10:59.But James, delighted. This is Britain. We are Great
:11:00. > :11:05.Britain, that is what we do. We've been around a long time, we will
:11:06. > :11:13.sort it out, like we always do. In this rural community 06% voted
:11:14. > :11:16.Leave, like Robin, he is certain he is trading with Europe and it will
:11:17. > :11:20.not change. If we are buying 20% of products
:11:21. > :11:24.they will not turn around and say you can't have it. We'll get it.
:11:25. > :11:31.You are confident of a good deal? Not a problem. But as news came in
:11:32. > :11:36.that the financial markets were tumbling, market trader Bob, was
:11:37. > :11:39.getting worried. Your pension pots, investments,
:11:40. > :11:44.ISAs, that will take a battering, I think.
:11:45. > :11:48.8.20am, the Prime Minister resigns... Wow.
:11:49. > :11:51.Tracy cannot believe what is happening.
:11:52. > :11:56.I thought he would stay and help us all to work out what we need to do
:11:57. > :12:01.and make sure we are all OK. From Stamford to Dudley in the West
:12:02. > :12:07.Midlands, traditionally, Labour, nearly 70% voted Leave. Why did you
:12:08. > :12:11.vote out? The immigrants, stop them. Look at the schools, people cannot
:12:12. > :12:15.get kids in schools because of the immigrants.
:12:16. > :12:18.Some here concerned about the focus on immigration, like Valerie.
:12:19. > :12:22.I don't know where we stand. Worrying. Very.
:12:23. > :12:27.What are you worried about? The future.
:12:28. > :12:32.But in the Polish Delhi, Christina is not worried. She came here five
:12:33. > :12:37.years ago and works as a welder. Nobody is coming in here to tell me
:12:38. > :12:43.back to Poland. I don't think so. Miky wanted to remain in the EU. He
:12:44. > :12:47.said he feels betrayed by the older people voting to leave.
:12:48. > :12:53.I am shaking, this is the biggest change of my generation. It will
:12:54. > :12:58.impact our lives when we grow up. It will change education, everything.
:12:59. > :13:02.Normally it is difficult to get people to discuss people with
:13:03. > :13:06.regards politics on camera but today everyone was prepared to give an
:13:07. > :13:11.opinion. A country engaged, yet divided.
:13:12. > :13:15.There was turmoil on the financial markets as it became apparent that
:13:16. > :13:19.The pound saw its biggest one day fall on the currency
:13:20. > :13:21.markets for 30 years, before rallying slightly.
:13:22. > :13:23.On the stock exchange, more than ?100 billion pounds
:13:24. > :13:26.was wiped off the FTSE 100 - with banks and house builders
:13:27. > :13:28.particularly badly hit - before the Governor of the Bank
:13:29. > :13:30.of England announced billions of pounds of support.
:13:31. > :13:32.Our Economics Editor Kamal Ahmed has been watching how
:13:33. > :13:44.His report contains flash photography.
:13:45. > :13:48.After complacency, shock. After a quiet start, red ink covered the
:13:49. > :13:52.screens. The markets reacted with a quick word with Britain voted to
:13:53. > :13:59.leave the EU - sell. Anything that is risky. The pound fell, banks'
:14:00. > :14:03.stocks fell, tension rose. The governor of the Bank of England
:14:04. > :14:08.went public, trying to bring semblance of calm to torrid markets.
:14:09. > :14:14.We are well prepared for this. Her Majesty's Treasury and the Bank of
:14:15. > :14:17.England have engaged in extensive contingency planning, the Chancellor
:14:18. > :14:22.and I have been in close contact, including through the night and this
:14:23. > :14:28.morning. Today has been a difficult and
:14:29. > :14:32.turbulent day... Reminiscent of financial crisis of old, black
:14:33. > :14:37.Wednesday when Britain crashed out of the forerunner of the single
:14:38. > :14:40.currency, this time the pound fell further, investors seeing risk
:14:41. > :14:45.everywhere. Huge volatility in the foreign
:14:46. > :14:50.exchange markets with sterling down over 10% and stock prices falling
:14:51. > :14:55.pretty much everywhere, especially in the banks where the stock prices
:14:56. > :14:59.fell by over 20%. Very unusual. Lots of predictions of economic
:15:00. > :15:03.chaos, if Britain voted to leave the European Union. Well, some of those
:15:04. > :15:08.predictions will be tested. Today has seen falling stock markets, a
:15:09. > :15:14.falling pound, sometimes it can seem a little distant from everyday life.
:15:15. > :15:19.But the effects can be very real. Take holidays, they could become
:15:20. > :15:24.more expensive as the pound weakens but a weaker sterling could be a
:15:25. > :15:29.boost for exports. House prices could fall, good news for first time
:15:30. > :15:33.buyers and no move on low interest rates and probably will not be for a
:15:34. > :15:38.while. Ryanair, a prominent supporter of staying in the EU but
:15:39. > :15:41.with Brexit ahead, the tune has now changed.
:15:42. > :15:46.We won't be able to make new investments in the UK. Ewe will have
:15:47. > :15:51.a two year period of uncertainty. What businesses want is certainty.
:15:52. > :15:54.We will look at making our investments and have a greater
:15:55. > :15:59.degree of certainty in Germany, Italy, Ireland, Spain.
:16:00. > :16:02.A sunset or a sunrise? For some business leaders, time to focus on
:16:03. > :16:06.the positive. We have a choice to make, do we want
:16:07. > :16:12.a positive vision for the future, or is it all negative? If we go down
:16:13. > :16:14.the negative route, it is failure, down the positive route, we have a
:16:15. > :16:19.great opportunity. It was a long night in the City, the
:16:20. > :16:25.test now for the UK economy, can it flourish in a new world, outside of
:16:26. > :16:28.the European Union? Kamal Ahmed, BBC News.
:16:29. > :16:31.Our Business Editor Simon Jack is here, there are so many questions
:16:32. > :16:34.now about the immediate future, like what happens to our
:16:35. > :16:47.However dramatic or traumatic the day's defence work, life generally
:16:48. > :16:51.will pretty go on as it was on Monday morning. Your passport will
:16:52. > :16:56.still go on the same, your pensions and mortgages will still be paid.
:16:57. > :17:00.Some small differences, for example, petrol might get more expensive. It
:17:01. > :17:04.is priced in dollars and we are getting fewer dollars to the pound
:17:05. > :17:10.because of the Sterling plunged. Thomas Cook say they will shut down
:17:11. > :17:14.their online exchange, currency exchange, to make sure they have
:17:15. > :17:18.enough for high street stores. These things will take weeks, months, even
:17:19. > :17:23.years, to undertake. Some companies are saying we might look again at
:17:24. > :17:27.how we invest in this company. Airbus said they might review the
:17:28. > :17:31.investment in the UK. Some American investment banks say they might move
:17:32. > :17:37.people from the UK to Europe. But that will take a long time. People
:17:38. > :17:38.taking a pause now, checking for bruises but from Monday, life will
:17:39. > :17:42.go on. Shortly after 8am this morning
:17:43. > :17:44.David Cameron walked out of the door behind me to announce
:17:45. > :17:46.he was stepping down It was an emotional speech -
:17:47. > :17:50.he said while he will stay to "steady the ship" over
:17:51. > :17:53.the coming weeks and months, fresh leadership is needed
:17:54. > :17:55.to negotiate the UK's An exit, of course,
:17:56. > :17:58.the Prime Minister did not want. Our Deputy Political Editor Jon
:17:59. > :18:00.Pienaar looks at David Cameron's time as Prime Minister
:18:01. > :18:11.and who may replace him. What's happening in Downing Street?
:18:12. > :18:15.David Cameron has just resigned. An emotional moment. The crowd, at
:18:16. > :18:21.least those who wanted out of the EU, didn't mind a bit. Where's
:18:22. > :18:26.Boris? He will be on his way. We need all this cleared away so he can
:18:27. > :18:32.go straight in. Big man in, little man out. For the Camerons it ended
:18:33. > :18:38.in tears. Premierships often do. He take his last big gamble and lost. A
:18:39. > :18:43.respected predecessor put David Cameron was made of the right stuff.
:18:44. > :18:48.He was one nation Conservative, looking for a tolerant nation. I
:18:49. > :18:52.don't think the fault is at his door, but our nation at this moment
:18:53. > :18:55.gone in this issue, is more fractured than we have seen it for a
:18:56. > :19:03.long time. David Cameron doesn't have the hardest upbringing, Oxford
:19:04. > :19:07.and the blue blooded Bullingdon set. He promised something fresh, like
:19:08. > :19:14.not losing again. Nothing and no one will stop us. He'd detoxified the
:19:15. > :19:18.Tory brand. In office, along with the Liberal Democrats, he led the
:19:19. > :19:21.first coalition since the war, winning a referendum in Scotland,
:19:22. > :19:26.and with the promise of a new deal in Europe, took a risk too far. We
:19:27. > :19:30.will give the British people a referendum with a very simple in or
:19:31. > :19:36.out choice. David Cameron is no thrill-seeker. He took gambles
:19:37. > :19:40.because he felt he had to. To hold power, under enormous pressure from
:19:41. > :19:43.Scotland or his own side in Europe. In ENT lost everything and Scottish
:19:44. > :19:47.independence is up for grabs again. His dream of leading a socially
:19:48. > :19:53.liberal one nation Tory party has died. His place in history spoiled,
:19:54. > :19:58.his crown passed on premature, but to whom? Boris Johnson is the early
:19:59. > :20:01.favourite, popular, but not now with everyone. Theresa May's hopes are no
:20:02. > :20:07.secret. Michael Gove denies the ambition. I hope we will have a
:20:08. > :20:10.woman in the final two. I think that's important in 21st-century
:20:11. > :20:13.Britain. Whether it's me or one of my other brilliant female
:20:14. > :20:17.colleagues, that's for the party to decide. I will not make any decision
:20:18. > :20:23.about that until we've had a rest over the weekend and had had a
:20:24. > :20:27.chance to talk to colleagues. After the palace today, part of the Prime
:20:28. > :20:31.Minister's routine. They miss it when they leave. Although David
:20:32. > :20:35.Cameron always said he could see a life after the premiership, he has
:20:36. > :20:37.lost something he loved, and the hurt is plain to see. John Pienaar,

:22:41. > :22:46.answer my question is indicative, you could say, of the aloof Brussels

:23:07. > :23:09.more uncertain. Here, the pattern of voting
:23:10. > :23:16.varied widely across And Scotland - which voted
:23:17. > :23:20.overwhemingly to stay in the European Union -
:23:21. > :23:23.is now "highly likely" to face In a moment we'll hear
:23:24. > :23:29.from Chris Buckler in Northern Ireland and Sian Lloyd in Wales,
:23:30. > :23:43.but first Sarah Smith Nicola Sturgeon always said that if
:23:44. > :23:47.Scotland is dragged out of the EU against its will, it could trigger a
:23:48. > :23:51.second referendum on Scottish independence. Will she actually call
:23:52. > :23:53.one? Only if she is certain she can win.
:23:54. > :23:56.This morning brought the dawning realisation that a vote to leave
:23:57. > :23:58.the EU might mean a vote on leaving the UK.
:23:59. > :24:01.Protesters who vowed to stay outside the Scottish Parliament
:24:02. > :24:05.until the country is independent, might not have to wait too long.
:24:06. > :24:08.Nicola Sturgeon says another referendum is on the cards.
:24:09. > :24:11.Scotland faces the prospect of being taken out of
:24:12. > :24:19.I regard that as democratically unacceptable.
:24:20. > :24:22.It is therefore a statement of the obvious that the option
:24:23. > :24:25.of a second referendum must be on the table.
:24:26. > :24:29.Are you confident that in the potential turmoil that
:24:30. > :24:31.could follow a Brexit, that those are circumstances
:24:32. > :24:35.in which Scotland would want to vote for independence?
:24:36. > :24:38.I think it is in my responsibility to seek the stability
:24:39. > :24:45.and the certainty that membership of the European Union gives us.
:24:46. > :24:48.So, Nicola Sturgeon didn't say that she would definitely hold
:24:49. > :24:49.another referendum on Scottish independence,
:24:50. > :24:55.but she did say she thinks it's highly likely.
:24:56. > :24:57.She believes this Brexit will make Scots more likely
:24:58. > :25:01.But she will not set the date until she is sure.
:25:02. > :25:03.She knows she can't afford to lose another referendum.
:25:04. > :25:04.Don't assume independence is now inevitable,
:25:05. > :25:12.The 1.6 million votes cast in this referendum in favour of remaining
:25:13. > :25:15.do not wipe away the 2 million votes that were cast less
:25:16. > :25:20.And we do not address the challenges of leaving the European Union
:25:21. > :25:22.by leaving our own union of nations, our biggest market
:25:23. > :25:31.Voters remember being told less than two years ago that to stay
:25:32. > :25:34.in the EU they had to vote to stay in the UK.
:25:35. > :25:36.So many are now starting to think again.
:25:37. > :25:41.I believe in the Union, but I suspect this time round,
:25:42. > :25:51.I don't know, I personally know a lot of people who have audit
:25:52. > :25:54.I don't know, I personally know a lot of people who have already
:25:55. > :25:58.Another referendum could be at least two years away.
:25:59. > :26:10.As in Scotland, voters in Northern Ireland said they wanted to stay
:26:11. > :26:13.within the EU. However, it's the UK wide vote that matters and as a
:26:14. > :26:17.result people are having to address the questions raised in the
:26:18. > :26:25.campaign, like what happens to the Irish border? People in places like
:26:26. > :26:29.here in Newry, right by the border, are concerned about checkpoints
:26:30. > :26:33.returning. Stormont's First Minister said people shouldn't panic and
:26:34. > :26:36.there were opportunities for the economy. Irish republicans see
:26:37. > :26:43.opportunities as well, with a push for a second referendum in Scotland,
:26:44. > :26:50.they are pushing for a border poll, on Irish unity. That is not likely
:26:51. > :26:55.to happen soon with any certainty, but in Northern Ireland people are
:26:56. > :27:00.entitled to hold two passports, a British one and an Irish one. Today
:27:01. > :27:06.there has been a rush in many places, including in unionist areas,
:27:07. > :27:11.for applications for an Irish passport, which would remain a
:27:12. > :27:18.European one. Wales voted to leave the EU. 17 of the 22 local authority
:27:19. > :27:21.areas he wanted to go. They include many Labour strongholds, some of the
:27:22. > :27:26.poorest parts of the country that have shared in billions of pounds of
:27:27. > :27:33.EU structural aid in the classics teen years. Wales has been a net
:27:34. > :27:37.beneficiary of EU funding, but the economic guidance put forward went
:27:38. > :27:42.enough to convince people to stay. British wide issues including
:27:43. > :27:46.immigration, national security and sovereignty have concerned voters
:27:47. > :27:53.here in Wales to. But there will now undoubtedly be a scramble for
:27:54. > :27:57.funding here. The First Minister has called for a rethink of the Barnett
:27:58. > :28:00.Formula, the way in which funding from Westminster to Wales is
:28:01. > :28:05.calculated, to make up for the shortfall.
:28:06. > :28:07.If you'd like more information on how people voted in your area,
:28:08. > :28:09.you can find the details on our website,
:28:10. > :28:18.And I'm joined again by our Political Editor Laura Kuenssberg.
:28:19. > :28:26.It's been such a momentous day, the change that will affect not only the
:28:27. > :28:32.UK politically, but every aspect of our lives. How do you some up what
:28:33. > :28:35.happened? It's quite difficult. For a lot of people it might feel
:28:36. > :28:39.overwhelming because so many things have changed in a short space of
:28:40. > :28:42.time. First of all and more dramatically, somebody else will be
:28:43. > :28:47.in charge in there in three months. We have an idea of the runners and
:28:48. > :28:52.riders but we don't know who will eventually moving to run the country
:28:53. > :28:55.by the autumn. Second of all, most significantly, our relationship with
:28:56. > :29:01.our near neighbours will change completely. That might have big
:29:02. > :29:07.knock on effects for the rest of the political map of the continent,
:29:08. > :29:12.where 500 million people live. Sometimes politics changes inch by
:29:13. > :29:18.inch, maybe 100 yards by 100 yards. We forget that sometimes, perhaps
:29:19. > :29:22.only every few decades, there is a day like this, where the settlement
:29:23. > :29:27.does completely changed. The way we have been doing things, conventions
:29:28. > :29:31.go out of the window. I think one reflection, as we start to really
:29:32. > :29:36.absorb what has happened here, this perhaps is one of those junctions,
:29:37. > :29:41.one of those days, one of those moments, that in decades to come,
:29:42. > :29:45.people will look back and think, British voters really did change
:29:46. > :29:50.this country in a really significant way for good. Lara, thank you very
:29:51. > :29:52.much indeed. For a moment, let's pause on the politics and look at
:29:53. > :30:01.the weather. It certainly has been a funny old
:30:02. > :30:07.day, sunny for some, wet for others, and you might even have had both.
:30:08. > :30:12.Fluffy clouds in Derbyshire early but they brewed up over the Cumbrian
:30:13. > :30:19.fells. We saw torrential downpours in places, but some great photo
:30:20. > :30:21.opportunities. We have seen some lively downpours developing through
:30:22. > :30:26.the day, particularly across the north and West, torrential
:30:27. > :30:30.thunderstorms across the Highlands of Scotland in particular and these
:30:31. > :30:34.storms will rumble on into the evening. Showers carrying on into
:30:35. > :30:38.the night. Showers also in the western parts of the UK but many
:30:39. > :30:43.other places will become dry as we head into the early hours.
:30:44. > :30:49.Countryside spots will be down into single figures. It will stay rather
:30:50. > :30:53.great in Scotland. Some sunshine to be had, you might wake up to it in
:30:54. > :30:58.the central and eastern areas but showers will get going, starting to
:30:59. > :31:03.spread from west to east. No two days exactly the same. If you stay
:31:04. > :31:08.dry today you might get wet tomorrow and vice versa. Improving across
:31:09. > :31:11.Wales and western England tomorrow, touch and go in Glastonbury. Most
:31:12. > :31:15.downpours will be through the central and eastern parts of
:31:16. > :31:21.England. Up through the spine of England and into Scotland as well.
:31:22. > :31:23.Northern Ireland, mostly dry in the afternoon but quite cloudy and grey
:31:24. > :31:32.across the far north-east of Scotland. Into Sunday, and an
:31:33. > :31:35.approaching weather front spreading into western parts of England
:31:36. > :31:39.through the day. Many central and eastern areas, after a will fresh
:31:40. > :31:40.start will hold onto sunshine. After the sunshine it could feel quite
:31:41. > :31:43.pleasant. There'll be more on this momentous
:31:44. > :31:46.day with a special programme at 7:00pm on BBC One -
:31:47. > :31:48.that's The Big Decision In a moment we will join the BBC's
:31:49. > :31:52.news teams where you are but, first let's look back at the key moments
:31:53. > :31:56.of a day which has changed the UK, and its relationship
:31:57. > :31:58.with the rest of the world. The decision taken in 1975 by this
:31:59. > :32:02.country to join the Common Market has been reversed by this
:32:03. > :32:09.referendum to leave the EU. I feel like somebody has
:32:10. > :32:20.kicked me in the stomach. I mean, Europe is not perfect,
:32:21. > :32:22.but we are much better trying to influence it
:32:23. > :32:26.from within than without. 17 million people have said we must
:32:27. > :32:28.leave the European Union. The British people have made
:32:29. > :32:34.a very clear decision to take a different path,
:32:35. > :32:39.and as such, I think the country requires fresh leadership to take
:32:40. > :32:43.it in this direction. So, yeah, very disappointed
:32:44. > :32:48.with the outcome. This is Britain, and we are
:32:49. > :32:51.Great Britain, this is what we do. We have been around a long time
:32:52. > :32:54.and we will sort it out, I'm just glad we are out of it,
:32:55. > :32:59.and that's it,
