In an historic vote, British voters say they want their country to leave the European Union. We begin the show with a voice from the "LEAVE" camp. He's James Cleverly, a Conservative in the British parliament. And he tells host Marco Werman why he chose to support the campaign to quit the EU.

VIEW ON BREXIT FROM A POLE IN THE UK: Ever since Poland joined the EU in 2004, there's been this image of the Polish plumber descending on the UK to take British jobs.

Marco Werman speaks with Roch Dunin-Wasowicz is researcher at the London School of Economics.

The UK's vote to leave the EU has already sparked demands from far-right parties for referendums in other member states, including France and the Netherlands. It's not inconceivable that Brexit could spell the beginning of the end for the EU. Tara Palmeri, a Brussels based political reporter for POLITICO, is following the reaction and the political hangover in Brussels following Britain's historic referendum.

Brexit: The view from Brussels

After my story on Monday about how legendary Brooklyn pizzeria Totonno's is trying to rebuild and come back after super-storm Sandy, a lot of people said how charmed they were by the grand-daughter of the late Anthony "Totonno" Pero, Antoinette Balzano.  So here is an extended mix of the time I spent with Balzano, going around Coney Island, starting in front of Totonno's, going to the boardwalk, and returning back to the restaurant. We began by speaking about her grandfather.

This is part of a panel discussion on embedded journalism in Iraq and Afghanistan</a>] "(During the 2003 lead up to the Iraq invasion) we were going to bring all of the journalists that were going to go with us, and read them into the entire plan, weeks prior to the invasion.  And the reason this is done is, number one, they're going to be right beside us and deserve to know; and two, it was an extension of trust that says "We are going to let you in, and let you see everything that we're getting ready to do.  And we trust that you're not going to compromise the mission." - US Army Col. Richard "Ross" Coffman
