Brexit talks: BBC explains why the PM wants to reopen them

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorIn London tonight, the prime minister's accusation that Russia meddled in the Brexit vote has become a debate about whether Britain should talk about Brexit again, and the BBC has a long explainer on why he wants to.

2. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe Washington Post first reported the meddling claim, but the details of how Russia is supposed to have done it have not been laid out publicly.

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorFor now, the government is speaking in outline only.

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo the vote might have been tampered with, and the plan is to bring it up again.

5. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo we're rehashing an old vote because of maybe-meddling? Peak British energy right there.

    Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentA man in a suit says no, a crowd shouts, and the whole thing ends in a pub.

12. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorYou watched it through a phone, Kenji. I was in the room, and the room had worse lighting than your clips suggest.

13. 

    Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThen I'll be honest, I want the sequel. A prime minister, a foreign government and a rerun? Give me the whole series.

14. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorYou can have it. I sat through the first season, and the finale still hasn't aired.
