After more than three years of political wrangling, two general elections and angry protests across the United Kingdom – Brexit is here.
23-hundred GMT on Friday, the time that goes down in history. The hour the UK became the first country to leave the European Union, ending its 47-year membership of the bloc.
Britain has until the end of the year to reach a deal with the EU on their future relationship.
But many fear it will take much longer to reach a comprehensive agreement.
What does the UK stand to gain, or lose, from quitting the bloc?
And does it signal the beginning of the break-up of the UK itself?
Presenter: Nick Clark
