CNNW CNN Newsroom With Fredricka Whitfield June 25, 2016

Today in berlin, to discuss the terms of the socalled brexit. Nima elbagir is following the latest developments from london. So nima, the eu certainly wasting no time on the process. Now what . Well, now the meetings begin. The negotiations begin. On wednesday, the eu ministers are meeting. One of those meetings, Prime Minister David Cameron and his delegation will be present for, and one he wont. Because the eu in a very difficult spot. Eu leaders are in a very difficult spot. There is, of course, a lot of pressure on David Cameron to at least, perhaps not just for the sake of his legacy, but also for the sake of his country, to negotiate some attractive terms. The question is, with both france and germany facing elections next year and facing tlo local farright movements, if britain can do it, why cant we . And a very unpopular European Union across much of the mainland, in many of the grassroots territories, they will not be want to be seen to concede that much. This will not be a particularly pleasant end to his rule as Prime Minister, fred. Now, the concern, also, in the European Union is whether other countries will follow suit, of what, you know, Great Britain just did. How much of a worry is that . Well, weve seen farright leaders, like marie la penn in france, who of course have their own substantial popularity, its fair to say, among the same kind of demographic that is euro skeptic, but what made the british experience, the british experiment so dangerous for european unity is that it was called by the ruling party. And thats really what differentiates these calls were hearing now with what happened in britain. But, again, with those elections coming up, both leaders, both Angela Merkel and francois hollande, who is pretty unpopular right now, in france, are going to be dealing with the reality that this will have given weight to that European Union skepticism, and that sense that the European Union isnt good for the working classes in europe. And europe believed it and acted on it and why cant we . Fred . Nima elbagir in very wet, rainy kind of typical of london weather, but thats the way it is and fits the mood of lt a of people, too. Nima, thank you so much. Absolutely. All right, so many people in the uk are now facing doubt over the referendum outcome. Feelings of rebrexit, if you will. An online petition with more than a million signatures calls for a second referendum on the eu membership. Cnn business correspondent, samuel burke living me now from new york wither many on this. So samuel, the petition, whats the likelihood of its potential effectiveness. Reporter now theres this petition online that in the past few minutes has hit 1. 9 million signatures. This is on the official Uk Parliament white. And it only needs 100,000 signatures to be considered for debate in that parliament. And already a conservative member of parliament saying, hes answering the hundreds of emails and that they will, in fact, on tuesday, he says, consider a second referendum. But before people get their hopes up, know that David Cameron, the current Prime Minister, has said from the beginning, that there will not be a second referendum. But millions of people now signing that petition. Okay, it is really nerveracking for a lot of people there, and even abroad, you know, people were googling, what is the eu . They want to know more about, you know, in the wake of brexit, what potentially could happen. What are the dominant questions or dominant regrets people are expressing . Weve all had to get up to speed on our british terms and uk terms. But what was even more alarming, fred, is that people inside the uk. If you look at this list, i thought it was a okay when i first saw it online. Turns out its real. Its from google. The second most google led term inside the uk is what is the European Union . If you dont live in the United States and you dont know it we get that. But youre living there . Living inside the eu. My only hope for humanity is that people who didnt vote were googling this after. Okay, then theres twitter. And there are people who are expressing themselves in other ways that way. How . This gets back to that regretxit. People on twitter who saw what happened on the stock market, not just in the uk, in the United States, around the world, and are now expressing this regrexit. This woman said, i personally voted leave believing these lies and i regret it more than anything. I feel genuinely robbed of my vote. And one person on facebook saying, i made the biggest mistake in my life voting to leave. Now i regret it. Hes saying he regrets it because a lot of money that they paid to the eu was promised to go to the National Health care system, and already one of the leaders of the leave campaign is s saying, we cant keep that promise. So its almost, samuel, as if some people expressing themselves by saying, okay, i was on the bandwagon, because i was angry or upset about it too, but then, in my heart, i really didnt think it was possible. And now, it is possible. I think nima described it earlier, some people saying its like a very bad hangover. Hindsight is 20 20. I think when people woke up and saw what had happened across the globe, they regretted it. Tony blair, the former Prime Minister had wise words, many people who voted leave for the exit saw this as a protest vote, and it wasnt, im afraid. It was a decision vote. Yes, weve heard some people saying, well, i always thought that the Stay Campaign was going to win, so maybe i voted that way. But your vote is very powerful. And unlike the Electoral College we have here in the u. S. , every vote is counted in the uk. It comes down just to the numbers, nothing else. Not districts or anything like that. And ultimately, maybe that is the universal message, when so many people argue, whether it be this country or elsewhere, your vote doesnt count, this exemplifies, your vote does cou count. Boy, does it. It really does. Samuel burke. Thank you so much, in new york, appreciate it. All right, straight ahead, scotland overwhelmingly voted to stay with the eu and theyre not happy with the brexit results. The options that they are now weighing. Could they break away from the uk .

Breaking news out of West Virginia, where the news has finally stopped, but rescues are still underway at this hour, after record flooding left at least 26 people dead. West virginias governor has requested a federal disaster declaration for that state. Meanwhile, hundreds of people remain stranded. Some forced to get on their rooftops to escape the raging waters. The flood to violent in some cases and rising so rapidly, one resident says the streets at one point actually laooked more lik an ocean. Nick valencia has more on the deadliest flash flooding in the u. S. In six years. For the last two days, West Virginia has been pounded by heavy thunderstorms and massive flooding. Guys, watch out. This house exploded into flames and floated down the river. This family picked through the smoldering remains of what was once their home. I cant get the memories out of my head. Reporter eyepopping currents ravaged the Mountain State, leaving at least 26 dead on saturday morning. A day before, 4yearold Edward Mcmillian was playing behind his home when he was washed away by rapid floodwaters. His body was recovered from a nearby creek. This has been horrific. A nightmare. I mean, i theres no words can explain. Reporter its being called a thousandyear flood. The high terrain along the rivers in the southeastern part of the state is only making problems worse. When you add 9 inches of rain over just a short period of time, in the mountains, it causes the waters to come up very rapidly. Reporter the rising waters took out bridges and broke barges loose. Older people thats worked all their life for what theyve got and in one day, its all gone. Reporter hundreds of first responders, including 200 National Guardsmen have been deployed to help families like this. And they said the last thing they knew was somebody threw her a rope and then they never heard anymore. The stories there in West Virginia, just heartbreaking. We saw some very devastating floods late last year in south carolina. Earlier this year, it was in louisiana and houston. But whats happening in West Virginia right now seems to be the worst of it all. Lets update you on some numbers here. Nearly 20,000 people still without power. There are other local reports that put the number much higher. And we had somebody with the department of Emergency Management on just two hours ago, saying already, 300 water rescues, and at this hour, another 150 are still underway. Oh, my gosh, thats pretty significant. So, theyre certainly not out of the woods. We saw in some earlier images, a lot of the mud, receding water, but the flooding, the Rushing Waters is still very much a threat . The overflowing rivers, theres chances for popup showers, and some places, they had 9 inches of rain in less than 24 hours. Its really swelled these rivers, as high as 35 feet in some areas. So we have Brynn Gingras there and shes been reporting from the ground and the images just heartbreaking. You can see the mud everywhere. This flash flood is just going in, now receding, but water rescues still an issue. That flash flooding, that stuff comes in in an instant and catches you off guard and thats why it becomes so potentially fatal. All right. Thank you so much, nick valencia, appreciate that. Well, next, today a lot of scottish people are unhappy with the brexit results because most scotts voted to stay with the eu. So what will they do, next . A live report from edinburg, next. Dont tour tokyo. And please, dont do tokyo. Live in tokyo. Airbnb a place in shinagawa, or a loft in ebisu. Try toro. Try this. Be polite and slurp. Have yoshi tell you about the time he rode an ostrich. Act like youve done this before. Wherever you go. Dont go there. Live there. Even if its just for a night. Experience the thrill of the lexus gs f sport. Because the ultimate expression of power, is control. This is the pursuit of perfection. I accept im not the rower i used to be. I even accept i have a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. But what i wont accept is getting out there with less than my best. So if i can go for Something Better than warfarin, i will. Eliquis. Eliquis reduced the risk of stroke better than warfarin, plus it had significantly less major bleeding than warfarin. Eliquis had both. That really mattered to me. Dont stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. I accept i dont have to set records. But im still going for my personal best. And for eliquis. Reduced risk of stroke plus less major bleeding. Ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. Shoshow me more like this. E. Show me previously watched. Whats recommended for me. X1 makes it easy to find what you love. Call or go online and switch to x1. Only with xfinity. All right. Welcome back. Even though the uk voted to leave the eu, scotland overwhelmingly voted to stay. You can see all the blue on the map there. That indicates where the remain votes are. And now the Scottish First minister says its likely they will seek independence from the uk. But its not the first time theyve tried to break away. An independence referendum failed back in 2014. Our David Mckenzie joins me now from edinburgh, scotland. This is getting very confusing, isnt it, david . Were talking about scotland seeking independence from the uk, but does that mean it would remain with the eu . Reporter no, not necessarily, fredricka, because we really are in uncharted legal and diplomatic territory, yes, it is confusing. Let me try to break it down for you. Scotland voted to stay in the eu, as you showed there. England, to the south of here, voted primarily to leave the eu. So the scottish are angry that they say that their destiny is being forced, that its undemocratic, particularly the powerful first minister here, which is in charge of the local government in scotland and she is saying that very much on the table is to have a referendum here in scotland, seeking independence from a greater United Kingdom, and maybe that is a step towards remaining in the eu. But the eu might not want that, because they might want, not make it too easy for anyone to kind of break away and stay. But she says they will have meetings directly with eu diplomats in the next two weeks, to try to thrash out some of these incredibly difficult legal questions, but, you know, people im speaking to on the street here feel betrayed by england. Take a listen. We dont want to split from the union. But we have no choice. Sorry, im not being biased here. Im worried because i just talked, my grandson wanted to travel the world, and i just talked, travel the world. Theres that sentiment a great deal here. This generational issue that many of the younger people in england and certainly most of the people here in scotland wanted to stay in the eu, because of the opportunities for travel, for trade, for living and working throughout the 28member block. And so scotlands trying to do all it can to stay in, but it might be a very tricky and lengthy process. Fredricka . And would there be a potential timeline in their attempts . Reporter i think politically, youve got a few months where the Scottish Government can try to push through some kind of referendum, or at least announce a referendum while theres general chaos in westminster, that houses the parliament in the uk. So there is a sense that theres this window where they can try to find a way to stay inside the eu, but as i said before, the European Commission might not want to kind of make these options available, because then maybe other smaller republics can small to break away or stay. Its sort of just generally chaos right now, because this is an unprecedented situation. It is. Bringing lots of ruffled feathers. All right, thank you so much, David Mckenzie, appreciate it. A very rainy edinburg. All right, straight ahead, how donald trump is using the brexit results to his advantage. Thats next. whispers rock
