the way for trump's almost certain acquittal in the coming days. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program after 3 years of high stakes political drama it's a voted to leave the european union britain is out of the block as the stroke of midnight in brussels time the u.k. ended nearly half a century of membership in the e.u. bragg's it is still not a done deal the 2 sides now embark on an 11 month transition period and the difficult work of finding the terms of a new relationship. ringing in the changes a recording of big ben dong in bret's it's at the prime minister's residence in

downing street but the country is still riven by the as you. know you celebrating britain's exit from the e.u. in parliament square did so with a fierce passion for some britain had been set free. expression really this week. this week. i think i'm for so-called brecht's it is like nigel for us who fought a long campaign to take the u.k. out of the e.u. it was an historic day the decades he held a minority view but with britain's exit he led the celebrations at the nation's departure. i made history. to try to move in the movie history of my. time but the nation is far from united in

joy at the move. e.u. supporters gathered outside the scottish parliament here in edinburgh and in other parts of the u.k. there was sadness a majority of scots voted to stay in the e.u. but their voice is being ignored in westminster. i think it's because i'm a 62 percent of us fortitude a man in europe cummerbund back that against our will is absolutely a disgrace. sorrow in brussels to him and in other cities on the continent too young. since rallied their future less certain and their vision of a nation at home in europe seemingly defeated. the need to create the think you can even think.

bret's it has exposed a huge division in british politics but the show of emotion and trying to listen in the u.k. on its point of departure from the e.u. indicates that the debate over its place in europe is far from settled. and joining me now is the that is their get mass we're standing by in london where it is day one after brags that bear get what is the mood like on the streets there . well sorrow these feelings that have been displayed last night is patriotic feelings by the bricks it is who feel that they have finally broken free and they're overjoyed but also the sadness of the remain as to where are holding candlelight vigils here next to parliament square while the rx tears were celebrating these deep feelings are not going to go away i think it's

a little bit like you are either for this one football team or for the other but there is no not much in between and for boris johnson to bring the country together it is going to be a big toss i brought you some newspapers also to give a flavor of what's going on the pro breaks a daily express is gushing patriotically saying our time has come then the sun that's also a break in paper. is looking more for it and saying make leave no it was so joining in with prime minister boris johnson's message of trying to move forward and bring the country together but indeed it's not an easy task for boris johnson and his government at all it is not an easy task indeed but you know he has promised to make brags that what he calls an incredible success here again so what are the next steps for the u k. he has a long to do list there is 1st of all their relationship with brussels he only has

11 months time to look forward look to the future in a new free trade agreement with brussels a lot of experts say that this is not enough time and that there is still a risk that the u.k. will leave the european union without india at the end of this so-called friends asian period which is going to last until the end of the year so there is still a huge danger that there will be huge economic consequences if that indeed happens to he has to work on that and he has to he has promised that he levels up the country say a lot of people in the north of england in particular voted for breakfast because they feel forgotten they feel somehow left behind and he has promised to put money into these regions huge infrastructure projects so there is a lot of work i had for boris johnson to do that and there's also a lot of a lot of work to be done because we have to say to him to heal the soul of this nation which has been so polarized by this issue does the prime minister appear to

have a plan. he hasn't really given any details we know that a lot of the remain is the pro europeans are very bitter about still very bitter about all the laws and the frwy you can paint as they see it and also about the brutality with which johnson has gotten rid of his enemies and of the pro europeans and his own party so yes there is a lot of work to do to get these people together and to really rally the old british you know. what the british always been good as being quite pragmatic and to get on with things so this is the best hope i think that johnson has at the moment in london thank you. and let's get a quick check of some other stories making news around the world police in chile have fired water cannon and tear gas at anti-government protesters in the capital
