Brexit: 1 Million Take to Streets to Call for 2nd Referendum
------------------------------------------------------------

In Britain, an estimated 1 million demonstrators filled the streets of
London Saturday calling for a new referendum on Brexit. The fate of
Britain's exit from the European Union remains in the balance days after
EU officials agreed to delay it at least until April 12, while Prime
Minister Theresa May attempts to convince lawmakers to approve a deal.
Political leaders addressed crowds at Saturday's protest. This is London
Mayor Sadiq Khan.

Mayor Sadiq Khan: "The British people didn't vote for the government to
gamble on our future. … You didn't vote for the national nightmare we
have. It's time to give you, us, the British people, a final say on
Brexit."
