UK Prime Minister David Cameron says he will resign
Prime Minister David Cameron announced on Friday he will resign after Britons voted to leave the EU in defiance of his warnings of economic pain.
Cameron promised to try to "steady the ship" over the next months but said a new leader should be installed by early October.
"I do not think it would be right for me to try to be the captain that steers our country to its next destination," the British leader said outside his official Downing Street residence in London.

British celebs react to Brexit
British celebrities like JK Rowling, James Corden, and Hugh Lawrie among others weighed in their thoughts about the historic Brexit victory.
According to the BBC, Britain voted by 52 per cent to 48 per cent to leave the European Union (EU) after 43 years in a historic referendum on Friday. The referendum turnout was 71.8 per cent -- with more than 30 million people voting. This was the highest turnout at a British poll since 1992.
"Harry Potter" author JK Rowling, a staunch Brexit opponent, was mournful as she weighed in on the vote, offering her affirmation of the popular opinion that Scotland will now move to secede from Britain, reports deadline.com.
"Goodbye, UK. I don't think I've ever wanted magic more. Scotland will seek independence now. Cameron's legacy will be breaking up two unions. Neither needed to happen," Rowling wrote on Twitter in separate posts.

No matter the outcome, #Brexit polls demonstrate how quickly half of any population can be convinced to vote against itself. Quite a lesson.
