if britain left the eu, chesta and his parents would no longer have been eu citizens.sta doesn't understand why so many people in britain support the brexit. chesta: i think they said it's because europe is undermining their power or something. i don't think there's any reason for england to leave europe. >> martin gordon moved to berlin from london 18 years ago to work here as a music producer. martin: i didn't consider that i would end up being german as a result of having lived n berlin. and as you know, the english have a rather curious relationship with the germans. but i am. >> gordon received his certificate of citizenship a few days ago, after filling out numerous forms and taking a citizenship test. he also had to take a solemn oath. >> i had to swear not to overthrow the german constitution by force. >> gordon is familiar with german red tape. he even wrote a song about it a few years back, "only one dream per person." the song describ how germans would organize paradise if they were to run it -- very efficiently, of course. positive to say about his homeland

in the eu. host: as far as the united states financially, what should be expected long-term as far as this decision? we saw the initial reaction of the stock market. is this a continuing thing? beside the initial reaction, the uncertainty of what is going to happen with the eu/u.k. relationship. how will that unfold? that weighs on investor's sentiment and consumer sentiment. it will weigh on the dollar as well. all of that will continue to wait on the u.s. economy and the global economy for a long time to come. i don't expect the type of most we saw last week will continue to happen over and over again. we may see some more moves in the next several weeks. of move, i don't think we are in the same crisis. i don't expect that at all. host: visited him -- there are stories in a paper saying the eu setetting on this quick, or a more exaggerated timeline of the united kingdom or britain wants to, does that play into how it affects us? guest: absolutely. any uncertainty will cause business leaders t

/eu open skies agreement. on the national security front, the intelligence sharing between the uk and america is instrumental. the uk will have less access to greater european intelligence. kristen welker, how is the white house reacting to this? the president wasn't for the brexit. >> this is unwelcome news from the perspective of the obama administration. no doubt about that. we haven't gotten an official statement from president obama yet. he's currently out in california for an entrepreneurship summit. we got an initial reaction from the white house which reads the president has been briefed on the incoming returns in the uk referendum and he will continue to be updated by his team as the situation warrants. he plans to speak with outgoing prime minister david cameron soon. i anticipate we'll hear from him at some time today. of course, he needs to be quite measured in his comments. but, thomas, as you rightfully point out, this is something that the u.s. was hoping wouldn't happen. for all those reasons y

eu, we've had more problems. my view is if continue to base unthinking support for the european union and i think most american support for the eu is unthinking and pardon me, ignorant. it will continue to see more economic strains, which are inherent in the euro. it will continue to see rising liberalism and it will continue to see a weaker european u.s. trance atlantic link in the bargain because it will -- all of these developments will under mine nato. i don't think any of these things are in the interests of the nations of europe. i don't think they're in the interest of the united states either. i think the true interest of the united states are to return to the ideas, the american ideas that helped save western europe after 1945 and then saved eastern europe after 1989 which are the ideas of economic freedom, multi lateral cooperation for security and pros parity and support for a democratic national government, that was the basis of the american strategy in europe after 1945 and it worked. and you know wh

debt growing to eu averages of around 90%. beneath the surface, the uk's fine so long as it was connected to the rest of the eu. once it disconnects, people start to look at it in isolation. how strong is the pound? how big can the city be if it doesn't have the hinter land of an eu market with it. those doubts are going to start creeping in. the uk has relied hugely as well on foreign investment. the largest destination for foreign investment in the eu for ten years, including the chinese, who would hoping it would be its gateway to europe. that foreign investment, at least future foreign vest, is likely to be held back while people work out the deal is. >> that's impossible to quantify. >> this is the problem is we will not be able to quantify the loss. those who want to push and pushed for brexit, who are going to get this outcome, can point also to ideas of what might be there. but those who were leaving were pointing to lost gain can't be seen. and this is -- you know, it will take probably two to three to four years to s

we would be no longer part of the eu, but to trade with the eu, to have economic contact with the eu, they would be forced to implement european laws, and the only difference is they would not be able to take political part in deciding on these laws. alan: it is a german fallacy, that since the days of karl marx, who was a very german person, that economics determines everything. ulrike: it does. alan: europe was a tightly knit economic unit before the first world war, and they threw it all away, they destroyed this, and we have not recovered since. europe, europe is totally capable of self-destructing once the demons of european nationalism are unleashed, and this is what is going to happen if the, if the brexit people win. that's what i'm worried about. if germans sit back completely and say, they will have to take their method in, like the german medicine, likedrig --their the german finance minister said, you don't understand how everywhere in europe except for germany itself, people's blood begins to boil at that. this is what is destroying europe. derek: i would be with ulrike a

eu on the one hand and feeling that the eu is not french enough to a certain extent on the other. for a referendum and you just had marie le pen on. this is one thing. you can see this growing. i don't think we can expect a frexit any time soon. >> but it does strengthen her cause, doesn't it? she's consistently growing in time and do you think that brexit will ultimately have an influence on that movement in france and pushing it toward coming out of the eu? >> france is quite particular because the euro critical movements come from the far right and far left. on both sides you have very critical voices against the eu at the moment but when it comes to the national front in particular, it's true that our independence calls to have a referendum and maybe to leave the e ux has been boosted by brexit and this cause is becoming ever-more popular in france but at the same time i don't think that if the french were put in front of the choice of leaving or remaining in the eu, you would have the majority of people saying we want to leave the eu. >> there's a sense of responsibility of o

some of these eu rule, they are still in place. >> okay. we're going hear a lot of statements over coming days. and some of them will have some truth in fact. and some of them will be totally misleading. and i think let's take that on face value. fair enough. a lot of european law is now governing what's happening in financial markets. but the way it works is that legislation is now embedded in the uk legal framework. so if you are suggesting that come monday, suddenly financial markets in the uk are completely unregulated because of the referendum, complete poppycock. not at all. the rules are in legislation passed by the parliament in the uk. come monday the rules will be still be operating until there is any decision by our own national parliament to get rid of those rules. just to make that very clear. >> i'm just going to make a statement about the equity market, about those companies being traded on this morning. i would suggest it is very orderly. i think the action in the foreign exchange market has been extraordinary. as far as the

polls close own in the united kingdom's eu referendum.utcome is likely to be tight in a poke that could change european history. prime minister david cameron and his wife cast their votes early. his political future is on the line. he may not survive if britain walks out. time for a check of business news. investors certainly think they know what the result of this referendum might be. daniel winter is in our business desk with more in a story. daniel: they are betting on remain. it was less -- there is less than a hour to go before polling stations closed and what happens next is in the hands of the public. i support to remain has fluctuated, so has the result of britain's pound. you can seat right at the end hear an update as the sentiment -- uptick as the sentiment towards in has strengthened the ground. bookies are confident of fo in vote. investors seem to be putting their faith and remain as well. reporter: it settled back slightly to close almost 1.25% higher. that is a weekly gain of almost 5% of the biggest since december, 2011.

s relationship with eu and that contagion effect. but i think we have seen the sharpest falls we are going to see, not surprising given how one expected how the vote to leave was, and what was priced in the vote to stay. stephen: they were really caught off guard. the fall in sterling overnight was really dramatic. is there any chance they could be a benefit for some u.k. companies making the goods cheaper abroad? craig: of course it could. the pound actually fell extremely significantly shortly after midnight in the u.k. ofeaker pound because 85% the money is generated a broader a weaker currency could generate ae that could benefit the -- weaker currency could generate -- could benefit. stephen: thank you very much for your time. putting thi8úxúÑÑdqwueeewx [thunder] >> people are going to do things under cover of darkness, afraid of light, so if you come at midnight, i'll be there with my headlights glaring. if you are a democratic country with a constitution that has a bill of rights, you have to enforce those rights and peo

this is really the core group of the eu. and their number one priority today is how to make sure this does not happen again, that no other eu member is even thinking or taking steps toward leaving the union. and so that really means two things. one, they're going to be discussing how the uk will leave the eu as swiftly and as painlessly as possible. and the other is how to reform the eu from within, how to make it a more flexible union so that if one member doesn't want what others do, can they negotiate some sort of a better deal, more flexibility? those are the two issues they'll begin discussing today, but it really is the first step in a very long process of trying to figure out how to move things forward and to make sure that doesn't happen. >> and there are clearly fears about the european project and its future at this point. i wonder whether you're hearing what i am hearing, which is that because of that, it may be that britain can actually squeeze a better deal out of the eu going forward, an associated partner coun

"see eu later." susan, talk about what the actual unraveling would take, what kind of negotiations would be involved, when british voters would be able to see a final deal package of what the exit deal actually looks like. and then might there have to be another referendum that says okay, this is the real deal, it costs this much to leave? >> so there's an article in the european treaty called article 50. so what this vote now is supposed to do is david cameron is supposed to trigger article 50, which starts the process of the negotiations. they have two years to unravel all these laws. there are estimates anywhere from 55% to 70% of uk laws are based on european union laws. and they'll start to unravel and figure out how their trade would work. right now the eu exports 44% of their exports go to other eu countries. they're a big exporter. that means no tariffs, no trade barriers. that's all going to change. and the -- >> can i hold you right there? why would that change? why couldn't they just conti

that is rightly something -- elation chip with the eu. -- relationship with the eu.eporter: the opposition is facing open revolt from within. they are calling for a new leader. he incurred -- he encouraged his party to stick with him to give the british people stability. >> our country is divided and the country will thank neither those in front of me or behind for indulging in maneuvering at this time. reporter: earlier, the man in charge of britain's economy tried to spread calm and confide nce. >> it will not be plain sailing in the days ahead. but you should not underestimate our resolve. we were prepared for the unexpected and are equipped for whatever happens. and we are determined that unlike the years ago, britain's financial system will help our country do with any shocks and dampen them, not contribute to those shocks or make them worse. reporter: the lead brexit supporter also tried to quiet troubled waters. >> there is not going to be an emergency budget, tensions are safe, the markets have stable. it is all very good news. reporter: yet the london stock

over britain's exit from the eu. david cameron briefed other leaders on how the british people voted against britain's eu membership last week. he also explained his thoughts on exit negotiations with other eu members. cameron told reporters after the session that the leaders had constructive talks and that britain wants to build the closest possible reconciliatila the eu even after its exit. >> that decision to trigger article 50 will be for the next british prime minister and the next cabinet, i would suspect after they've made that decision about the outcome they want to pursue. >> it is the british government who initiates this divorce process. i mean, of course the notification. there's no need to speculate about this. if they need more time, we have to wait. i think it's not the best solution for the uk and for us as well. but in fact this is the only legal way we have today. >> leaders of the 27 other eu member nations excluding britain will discuss how to handle negotiations with the country on wednesday. >>>
