Theresa May triggers Brexit

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

Sadness for some, jubilation for others - both in the UK and in Europe. EU leaders say goodbye and warn that the future outside won't be rosy. We talk to politicians and hear popular reaction to today's drama from Sheffield and Dundee. And we talk to Lord Armstrong, the architect of Britain's entry into the EU about the journey he witnessed into Europe, and the growing disaffection which is now taking us out.
