Brexit: A Guide for the Perplexed - The cost of the divorce

How much will it cost the UK to leave the European Union? Chris Morris investigates with the help of a top divorce lawyer and an expert on the financial facts. He draws up a list of assets to be divvied up and the ongoing maintenance payments which may need to be made. It could add up to around £50 or £60 billion and the EU seems determined to extract payment. Will it all end in tears?

Producers: Shabnam Grewal, Chris Bowlby
Researcher: Dearbhail Starr.
