spoken voting for a british exit dubbed brexit with almost 52% of the votes choosing to leave the 28-member european union after being part of that union for more than 40 years. immigration at the forefront of the leave campaign making the argument for britain to take control of its boarders and its economy. taking back the country's national identity and culture. make no mistake this referendum is absolutely huge. this result to leave is mon ewe men us to. people calling it a political earthquake with the financial ramifications uncertain. the pound already falling sharply to its lowest level since the mid-1980s overnight plummeting against the dollar which will impact wall street and global markets when they open. the leave campaign hailing it june 23rd as britain's independence day. we are expecting david cameron to make a statement shortly. we don't expect him at this point to resign. >> what does this mean in terms of dipmatic and political ramifications? the eu is losing a power player here and there are effects on nato. what does this all mean?
2:33 am
>> exactly. britain is the fifth largest economy in the world. the second largest economy in the european union. you can imagine what the financial ramifications that will probably have. the minimum period after a vote to leave would be two years. so during that time, britain would continue to follow and abide by eu treaties and laws but not actually take part in any decision making. so it would take two years to divorce from the european union. >> there are some simple aspects that will impact americans traveling abroad. will we need a different passport traveling from england to the eu or a different visa? how will that work? any idea? >> well this won't take effect immediately. this will take a few years until they find out exactly how moving forward this would change, but ultimately, one of the main principles of being a member of the european union is, of course, this freedom of movement.

of acting as one nation and one country and being able to go to other countries in the european union without having a visa. so ultimately this will most likely change and as a brit traveling abroad to those countries moving forward, you'll most likely have to get a visa. >> lama hasan from london. we're already seeing ramifications in the markets coming out. asian markets were already down, uk futures and u.s. futures plummeting on the news, as well. and when the markets open is when we'll really start seeing it. >> our own rebecca jarvis said when the results came in, if the dow had been open at that point, it would have been an immediate 500-point drop. >> rebecca said there's only one word to describe it right now, and that is panicking. > take a look at "the daily mail" saying right now that we're out. >> i think this one wins for creativity.
