Brexit reporting from BBC World Service, Marketplace

While the U.K.’s departure date from the E.U. remains tenuous, audiences can expect the most thorough, in-depth coverage, context and analysis from the BBC World Service and Marketplace in the weeks to come:

BBC World Service

  • As the uncertainties over Britain’s exit from the European Union continue, Newshour will keep you up-to-date with the latest – reporting live from Westminster whenever there are big developments at parliament, and live from Brussels for the next E.U. Summit. We’ll also share reports from Ireland as its border to the north remains a major focal point.

Marketplace

  • Wednesday, March 27-Friday, March 29: Marketplace host Kai Ryssdal will broadcast live from BBC’s London studios to cover what will be one of the most significant events in the economic history of the European Union – the termination of the U.K.’s membership in the E.U.
    • Remotes from London will focus on  the big economic picture and the small moments – an immersive exploration of the timely tensions and questions intrinsic to the modern global economy: Who deserves what and why? How do we interact with each other as countries and individuals?
    • Kai will be on the ground with the decision makers, and the real people outside the studio, asking them to share their personal, emotional and humorous stories, and how they live, work, spend their money, think about their future – and how they’re making it in this new normal of global uncertainty.
  • Brexit coverage can also be heard on Marketplace Morning Report from the BBC World Service (5:51 a.m. ET) and Marketplace Morning Report (hourly, from 6:51-10:51 a.m. ET) on Wednesday, March 27 and Thursday, March 28.

Programming details are subject to change as news breaks, and the BBC will cover proceedings as they happen.
