8:01 pm
this is cnn tonight. the entire world is following the circumstances of the uk's first day in 70 years without its queen. with the funeral still days away and the official coronation of king charles tomorrow, this may just be the beginning. we want to get back to don right now. how are you? >> reporter: i am a little chilly. we have gone from heat to downpours and now 57 degrees.
8:02 pm
it is interesting and good to be here to witness this. it is obviously a very sad occasion. it is mixed because you have a king. imagine being prince charles and all of a sudden you become a king of your country but only after you lose your mother. >> just think about that. the gravity of that moment. you are aware and everyone is aware. we see all of the flowers and the crowds and a woman kissing now king charles iii as he did a walk about. what is the feeling out there right now? there is a bit of a mixed reaction globally to monarchies in general. the idea of this revered figure , what is it like being out there? what is the atmosphere like? >> reporter: listen, i wouldn't say -- i mean, you do see people shedding tears but it is not absolute sadness. she was 96 years old.
8:03 pm
it is said that she was here and now she is not but as far as we know, her batteries just ran out. it was believed by people that were close to her, they said they did not believe that she would return in scotland, the place that she loved. she had some mobility issues so why would she come back when she is in her own paradise? there are mixed emotions here. people, quite frankly, they think that the monarchy is a relic of the past. that the country should move past it and others really like the tradition but think it should be modernized a bit more. of course, you have the issue of diversity. the past dealings of the
8:04 pm
monarchy, they have a lot to answer for and make up for when it comes to what had been done to brown and black people in the commonwealth. >> we will see a lot. the idea of the king having coronation tomorrow, it is a new era. we have heard the opinions of him in the past unlike from the late clean -- queen. people have tried to personify what they believe her emotions and thoughts would be and we will see a quite different scenario. so many people around the world are watching this and wondering about the focus. others know that there has been quite a fixation on the crown.
8:05 pm
when it comes to royal weddings, the idea of what has happened in the past, the more recent turbulence in the royal family, we are seeing a lot of reaction here. i can't help but think, here we are in the united states, talking about the transition of power. the difficulties and the shortcomings and the hurdles. here we had the last breath of the queen, a king rose to power. it is crazy to think about. how we are so different and yet, our history and maybe our futures are very much intertwined. >> reporter: listen, we are so different and not so different. we do have a monarchy and i would say this is the first reality show, certainly within the last decade or so. with diana, the mask dropped on the wall started to come down because diana was open about
8:06 pm
how she thought about the monarchy and her feelings were on display. her eating disorder and her husband who is now married to the woman that she said was the third person in her marriage. i think that was the first reality show, so to speak that we have seen. it played out in real time for us. think about what happened with harry and meagan. there's a lot to look at. there is a big tradition in power here. there is a constitutional role with people being sworn in and there is great tradition that the people respect here. we will see how far that carries into the future with william and his father, now king charles. >> don't forget to add "the
8:07 pm
third" so we can't forget that. we will have the king charles moment for quite a long time. thank you so much and get some rest. you are our eyes and ears on the ground. we love having your perspective and seeing the world through your eyes. thank you, my friend. good night. >> reporter: thank you. i want to turn out to nick robinson in scotland. he is our eyes and ears on the ground here, again. we are going to a place where many of us remember when incest diana passed. the family learned of her passing and we know this was a reprieve and a sanctuary and paradise for the late queen. just yesterday, they were there, receiving the word that she had passed and peacefully. nick, you have been there.
8:08 pm
we all heard and soon officially to be king charles iii, he was describing in a very emotional way, this is a moment that he in many respects was lamenting and not eager to have happen. i wonder from what it is like out there, what are you seeing? what are you understanding to be the emotional state of a family known as the firm. >> reporter: i think the hot mike moment is interesting. prime ministers historically, have spoken to the monarch about once a week. this was a private audience they would have with the prime minister showing up at buckingham palace. the queen's first prime minister was winston churchill, a towering and daunting figure for a young queen to be sitting with.
8:09 pm
there was always, during those conversations, a confidentiality. no prime minister would ever reveal the content of the conversation. yet, here is the monarch with the new prime minister who the queen had only just invited a couple of days ago. there is a camera there and that microphone picks up the very intimate words that you would never hear. the queen, over her time with 15 different prime ministers, was really someone who later prime ministers talked about giving them advice about encouragement and studying them through the difficult times of their leadership's. this is both prime minister and the king, king charles iii, he knew. we pick up a snippet of the raw emotion that king charles is going through with the loss of
8:10 pm
his mother. that is a daunting prospect and not just becoming king but the whole question of can he do it? can the people of king charles the way they loved his mother? he understands why and how they loved his mother but can he rise and aspire to that and be good for the monarchy and make sure that they are on stable footing and can endure -- let's think about it, we have had 1000 years of kings and queens in this country. can it injure and carry on? prince william, now the prince of wales along with the princess of wales, perhaps it is possible. they take their children to school. that is so different to what prince charles, now king charles
8:11 pm
, of course, experienced. he was in boarding school. the royals take their kids to school and pick them up at the end of the day. >> that is a very important point. that phrase you set up can he be good for the monarchy? that in and of itself, what is good will change and evolve with the times. you had a monarch for 70 years but a lot has changed. you pointed to prime minister winston churchill and we are talking about since the presidency of harry truman. what a different world we are in. we have to keep up with the times in order to maintain them. nick robinson, thank you so much. more on the late queen and the new king's message to england. up next, a late word tonight on the newest legal battle front. the justice department and the trump legal team are offering up names for the role of
8:12 pm
special master. they are making these vastly different arguments about how things should go. we will come right back to that.
8:13 pm
8:14 pm
this... is the planning effect. this is how it feels to know you have a wealth plan that covers everything that's important to you. this is what it's like to have a dedicated fidelity advisor looking at your full financial picture. making sure you have the right balance of risk and reward. and helping you plan for future generations. this is "the planning effect" from fidelity.
8:15 pm
8:16 pm
just about 90 minutes ago, we had brand-new filings from the doj and from president trump's legal team. each are responding to block the fbi from the documents that were seized. it is a criminal investigation. they agreed on a little. they happened to disagree on a lot. that cannot be the shock of the century. they have been going through the entire joint filing. we now have elliott williams and former fbi chief peter strzok. we will talk about these issues. what is in this filing and what are you learning?
8:17 pm
>> we see a lot of disagreement, obviously. for instance, the justice department wants us to be quick and when they want this to be done by october 17th. the trump team says what about 90 days or three months? how about never? we know the game. the government wants the special master to not look at classified documents and not to consider anything about executive privilege, which they do not believe is a thing. trump says the whole point is to look at executive privilege and to look at everything. those are two big places where the sides disagree. another thing that is interesting in the filing is, you see trump saying for the first time and maybe suggesting that they are trying to take the position that maybe not all of these documents are classified. they say that the government is
8:18 pm
presuming bee stings are classified when they are marked classified and it is up to the special master to decide whether these items are actually classified. i think that is a very interesting way to open up that area that we have all been waiting for them to do. trump has been thing on his social media platforms that they declassified everything but they have not taken that position in court. i am not sure if this is what they are trying to do or just trying to be coley with the whole situation to say the special master will decide. >> what a situation to be in. the idea of a special master that will get some sort of security clearance in reviewing documents quickly, if at all. should that person be in the
8:19 pm
position to say that is classified or not? isn't that the purview of the government? not a special master? >> absolutely, it is. that is whether or not a special master is appointed. if they have things that are marked as classified or not, they have to presume that there could be unmarked things that are not classified. i agree and what stood out to me, the bulk of the government's filings said we disagree that the special masters is needed at all but at a minimum, these marked classified documents should be off-limits and should go directly to the risk assessment that the intelligence committee is pursuing. this was trump's chance to argue in a filing saying that he did magically declassify this to take some sort of stand to push back against what the government was saying and they did not do it. that tells me that i think they realize there is not a supportable argument to say that trump magically declassified it. i don't think they made a strong counter argument and i hope this does open the door for judge kanin to say,
8:20 pm
classified documents are off- limits. >> that make sense. bill barr said something similar about declassification and president biden about the idea of waving a magic wand. it makes sense in a way. you want to review privileged documents but the meat of the matter are the classified documents. is it appropriate to compartmentalize the way doj is trying to and say privilege? you got it. classified, a whole different ballgame. >> there is a simple way to make this go away. to segregate out and take out the classified documents and just have the special master, as a special master would do in virtually any other case, review things for attorney/client privilege. it is an easier left and does not require the kind of back and forth that i think is now
8:21 pm
opened up. the judge now has to rule on the justice department and their ruling. >> that back and forth, they actually anticipate having to do a back and forth. about who needs to review things and when. is it special masters first or us talking amongst ourselves? they anticipated all of this drama. >> they really did. i think they were ready for that. the most important thing they want is for the fbi to have the restored access to these documents. it is pretty extraordinary for what this judge did last week or, rather, this week. >> what day is it? who knows? >> i don't even know. the idea is that she has cut off access to these documents for the justice department and a part of the justice department at its core, that is their job, to investigate
8:22 pm
crime. one last thing i want to point out real quick, one of trump's nominees or the names that he suggested is raymond deary who served on the pfizer court. he signed one of the orders for surveillance on carter page. you can see what they are trying to do. they know that this is one of the orders of the justice department that they later withdrew because of serious errors and omissions. you can see that they are trying to find somebody that might have deep suspicion about the fbi. >> or maybe an extra grind. what do you make of that, peter? >> i am always curious when you have someone that has a background like this, even if there is some level of suspicion, the fact of the matter is he served on the intelligence court and was the chief justice and has experience in the national security context. i thought at least from the trump side of things, that was
8:23 pm
a pretty interesting nomination. it could be reinstated and certainly, he has the ability to look at a classified document and does not need to be brought up to speed. he has no experience -- >> i think the bigger issue is his wife is a judge on the 11th circuit court of appeals which is the court that would hear this case. it is a glaring conflict of interest. even if they could find a way to have her hear the case, it looks really bad. >> you don't think the optics is good, do you? >> also, trump's current lawyer. >> i get it, you want to win. but, paul, more than anyone else, the name of the attorney. it creates conflict and it is problematic. they put forward federal
8:24 pm
judges. >> they shopped for a judge? >> the republican nominees -- >> one of the judges was in fact, he had the majority opinion that blocked initially the house to piña and that was overturned but the point is, these are not by any stretch of the imagination, very liberal far left judges. they did roll in a way that trump would find favorable. >> this is why this is such an important conversation. is white breaking it down is so important. i think a lot of the talking points try to capitalize the fact that this will be nothing. there is no coincidence. thank you, all of you. i am impressed. thank you so much. back overseas, less than 24 hours after the death of his mother, the newest king gives the biggest speech of his life.

8:29 pm
at age 73, the oldest child of the queen elizabeth is now the oldest monarch to ever assume the british throne, king charles iii prepared his entire life for this moment. it is not a celebratory time for him by any stretch. the grieving son told the new prime minister more about that earlier today. >> keep everything going is what he pledged to do today, offering the people comfort while he himself mourns.
8:30 pm
both in person and during his first televised address to his nation as the king. >> i speak to you today with feelings of profound sorrow. my beloved mother was an inspiration, an example to me and all my family. we owe her the most heartfelt that any family could 02 their mother. queen elizabeth was a life well lived. a promise with destiny cat and she is mourned most deeply in her passing. i know that her death brings great sadness to so many of you. i share that sense of loss beyond measure with you all. in our sorrow, let us remember and draw strength from the light of her example. >> imagine having to comfort an
8:31 pm
entire nation and really a realm while you, yourself, just lost your beloved mom. he will never serve as many years as his mom but he did bow to lead by her example. >> that promise of lifelong service, i renew to you all today. i too know and solemnly pledge myself throughout the remaining time god grants me, to uphold the constitutional principles at the heart of our nation. i shall endeavor to serve you with loyalty, respect, and love. as i have throughout my life. my life will of course change as i take up my new responsibilities. it will no longer be possible for me to give so much of my time and energies to the charities and issues to which i
8:32 pm
care so deeply. but i know this important work will go on in the trusted hands of others. >> it is expected for the british monarch to be apolitical so the king that was in environmental matters and other polarizing issues will now likely be much more muted. in the speech, king charles also bestowed his former title of prince of wales on his eldest son, william, who is now first in line to the british throne. his wife, kate, becomes princess of wales. she is the first to hold that title since williams late mother. the king also warmly mentioned his youngest son and daughter- in-law that chose to leave the country for a life here, in america. >> i also want to express my love for harry and meagan as
8:33 pm
they build their life overseas. >> this is a side we have never seen before. a son that lost his mother, talking directly to his late mother. >> to my darling mom, as you begin your last great journey, to join my dear late papa, i want to say thank you. thank you for your love and devotion to our family. to the family of nations that you have served so diligently all of these years. may flights of angels come to thy rest. >> he knew her far better than the rest of the world. may queen elizabeth rest in

in the coming hours, king charles will be formally proclaimed the new solver. the whole thing will be
8:39 pm
televised. the king has already taken on his duties, addressing the country in a time of grief, as she had done over seven decades. many are wondering what kind of king, king charles iii will be. we have sally smith and laura and the editor of put politics margaret, welcome to all of you. my diction is thrown off by all of the british accents so excuse me. let's begin with you, sally. there is a constant of queen elizabeth. people have known prince charles but who might he be as king, knowing full well that he cannot be as vocal about his opinions any longer and must be apolitical and very much behind the scenes. what do you think we can expect? >> i think stability.
8:40 pm
he has a prime minister that has been in office for two days which is astonishing. the queen represented stability, tradition, continuity, you can see those threads in his speech today. he mentioned tradition and i think he has spent his entire career and as he said, i will put my causes and charities aside and there are other people that can run them. he has been doing that gradually for probably about 10 years. he has been diminishing them although he has still been speaking out on climate and other issues that have been near and dear to his heart. he knows now that as a monarch, he must do what the government tells him to do. he cannot give a speech without the government approving it. very different from the way that he would have operated as
8:41 pm
prints. >> there is a natural tension because it is those things that could endear him to a world to the other 14 countries that are a part of the commonwealth realm where there are a lot of movements against the monarchies and they talk about becoming a republic. when you are champing issues about climate issues or the charitable work he has done and some of the words he used about respect and loyalty and flipping the script on the colonial days, he recognizes that he is up against a huge wave of public sentiment with millions of people around the world to think about the legacy of oppression and slavery and imperialism and to hold together and preserve the monarchy, he has to reset that. he has to slow down and change people's minds about what he represents. it might be hard for him to do that while he is walking that
8:42 pm
line. >> he has sort of negative power. he had more power as the prince of wales, really. he is a great believer in the commonwealth, which is not really threatened. that is 56 nations and he has been a real advocate for good government and reaching out to trust. he has not only been voicing things but has actually been doing things. >> yet, as you know, there are many nations in the realm that was much larger, you have many countries are pulling back for the reasons you talked about. they want to be independent and a republic. they could say we have had enough and there has been this constant. margaret and sally have made this point. in order to keep their
8:43 pm
relevance and the support, they have to evolve and recognize what is being said. >> in some ways, the comment that he can't say or do anything without the say-so of the government now kind of underscores the extent to which he is a figurehead. it will not be the case in the united kingdom any time soon that there is a discussion of doing away with monarchy but in australia, that conversation is happening. in new zealand that is already happening. barbados is on that road and jamaica is on that road. it is a bit up in the air. a slender majority would prefer to become a republic even before the queen's passing but i think his future is secure in britain but less stable in the commonwealth. i totally agree with you. in the realms, that is what i was going to say. i don't think the commonwealth
8:44 pm
will shatter. >> he is not totally powerless. there are three rights that still exist. the right to advise, to warn, to consult and behind the scenes, he still has some power. >> he still has those powers. they are almost passive powers. he does not have the power to advise, to say you should do this or that. the queen in her capacity to be consulted, she would say, do you think that is wise? have you thought about another possibility? >> not so productive to say this is what we are going to do. >> the monarch can't do that. it can be a sounding board. >> at the same time, each prime minister every week sits down
8:45 pm
with the monarch and keeps her -- now him, up on what the government is putting forward. that sounding board takes place weekly and there is a lot of subtle power that can be compared and not. >> now, you have somebody that is the constant and formally prince, about to be king charles and the brand-new prime minister. one of them has more seniority. >> two days. look at what is going on in britain right now. we have been talking about this for days and even before the queen's passing. the implications of russia's invasion of ukraine and this insane energy bill that makes what americans are dealing with completely manageable, that is one way to come in as prime minister and that whatever the constancy of a monarch is worth is now off the table also. i think for king charles, it is also a very unique opportunity
8:46 pm
to reset impressions of you from people. he has always been a reluctant figure. he is either misunderstood or feels that he has misunderstood. >> someone kissed him on the cheek in a covid era and he did not push back. >> it is just a time of huge change and uncertainty in the uk and to have a new prime minister and not just at the end of the queen's rain but that queens rain. she was the one constant in many people's lives. >> she really is britain's identity. 15 prime ministers have come and gone and she knew everything and had been everywhere and she can tell prime minister's things that she had never told anyone and
8:47 pm
they had never heard before. >> think of everything that has changed here and it is a fascinating time. i wish we had more time with all of you but thank you for your insight. thinking of changing times, we are heading to the big finish this weekend. this year's action is also the start of something. a historic generational shift that is unfolding on the court. we will talk about that, next. the hidden melodies s of train. the sacred spell of words. this art was looted. the power of a dinner table. a country on the brink. carving a path through the heart of philadelphia. a story of love and obsession. affirmations, etched in vinyl.

now to the u.s. open and
8:52 pm
designing close match going on right now. he won a fourth set tiebreaker now forcing of it sets. joining me now. the director of the author ash legacy project at ucla. so nice to see you this evening. you were at the open earlier tonight. this is a real crowd favorite. he is getting people to talk about some really important athleticism. tell me what you are seeing today?>> what is really exciting for me is the director of the legacy project is the manifestation is what he would have loved to have seen. it has been 54 years and he was the first african-american male to win. i tell my students he was the last african-american male. there were so many similarities between him and francis and their trajectory. it is a really exciting time
8:53 pm
for those of us familiar with the story of author ash. >> we are learning more about his story. his background is so unbelievably compelling. tell us about why it is.>> we will start with the fact that he was able to play tennis. he learned the game because his father was the groundskeeper for what was called the [null] park in richmond. the only place where he is african-american could play tennis in the city. the tennis court was in his backyard. he had that proximity. it is the same story. his father is the grounds manager for the tennis courts. they are integrated courts but he literally sleeps next to the courts. that is the exact same scenario we had.
8:54 pm
in 1969, he wanted to expand the range of people who can play tennis. stopping it from being a country club sports. they founded the national junior tennis league. he came up through the national junior tennis league. that is yet another comparison between the two of them.>> while you think about those manifestations, it really is unbelievable. the statue is still standing in richmond virginia. the idea of the stadium. there was a lot of excitement. regardless of whether or not he is successful. he has become the fan favorite in so many respects because of his passion for this export that is so transparently there.>> absolutely. like ash, he talks and emphasizes that he wants to be a role model for the generation after this. he also wants to be moving his
8:55 pm
family. this is not just about him as a athlete. moving forward. it is about his family. it is about his community. it has been so long since a american has even reached this stage. >> such a important point. it is always more than just about the game. it is about all of the different things. one of the few sports where the magnifying glass is on the particular person to carry so much with them on his back. we are all watching. thank you so much for your time.>> nice speaking with you laura. >> thank everyone here for watching as well. the coverage of the royal succession continues buckingham palace right after this. i felt all people saw were my uncontrolled movements.
