♪ hello and welcome to our viewers in the united states and

around the world, i'm becky anderson live for you at buckingham palace in london with cnn's special coverage, continuing coverage of the death of queen elizabeth ii. an hour from now britain's late queen is scheduled to embark on her final journey, leaving her beloved country home in scotland for the last time. the hearse expected to depart from balmoral castle for a 175 mile, six-hour trip to edinburgh. there she will be taken to the official royal residence, the palace of holyroodhouse. the king and queen consort will attend a church service in edinburgh for the queen on monday. on the following day quinn ses ann will accompany the queen's casket on a flight to london. the queen will lie in state at westminster hall for four days as the public pays its final respects to britain's longest

reigning monarch. her state funeral is september 19th at westminster abbey followed by internment at windsor castle. pomp and ceremony as her son charles iii was officially proclaimed the new king of the united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland in a centuries old accession ceremony. the prince of whales and queen consort signed the official document. and an extraordinary event, the king's sons, princes william and harry and their wives spent about 45 minutes with the crowd of mourners on the streets outside windsor castle. it was the first time the brothers have been seen together since june. let's kick off our coverage with cnn's isa soares who is in edinburgh with more, isa, on what we can expect in the coming hours. >> reporter: good morning, becky. the sun is out in what king charles iii called his mother's last great journey. what we do know is that the

queen's coffin is an oak coffin currently sitting at the ballroom at balmoral. it will be transferred by six of the gatekeepers to an awaiting hearse. an opportunity for those who served the queen to pay their last respects and final good-bye. it will begin on a slow six-hour journey through various points of scotland. it will first pass by ball lister, a small picturesque town where we were staying and where we met many of the people there who had stories about the queen as well as king charles and who saw her really as a neighbor, from ballister it will then go to the city of aberdeen, following on from done diaz you can see on your map and perth. it will pass the royal mile going past me to -- behind me as you can see st. giles' cathedral all the way downwards to the

palace of hollywood house where the queen will lie in throne room. it is the royal residence here in scotland. then on monday, becky, the coffin will be transported by a procession led by king charles iii and his family from the palace to st. giles' cathedral where she will lie in rest for 24 hours before then making that journey to london where you are, becky. >> isa soares is in edinburgh in scotland. thank you. i'm joined by someone who worked very closely with queen elizabeth ii, simon lewis is her former press secretary and we've been talking about and laying out what is the queen's final journey from balmoral, an estate that she absolutely loved. simon, you've spent time with queen elizabeth ii there. just reflect on how she felt

about the place and your thoughts. >> yeah, the late queen loved balmoral and she spent most of the summer and into the autumn there, but of course always working there, but a very different environment, very detached, away from the eyes of the media, away from everything other than, of course -- she loved the country and this beautiful sun tree side around there. i was lucky when i was appointed i was invited to spend a few days in balmoral with the queen and the royal family and on the first night they went off to have a barbecue, which is a famous tradition, prince philip cooking the sausages, seriously, and i was told we were going in the rain renge rovers and therea pause and the queen got in beside me. so i had to grip the wheel, we had a perfectly civil conversation, but the important thing about it, that's what they were like there, they were completely off duty and i got to know -- had never met the royal family before i joined the house, so spending that time with them and as an adviser once

you are inside you're genuinely inside. so i came back from balmoral thinking it's a wonderful place, feeling i had a better understanding of what the queen and prince philip and others wanted of me in my role. >> the following time you went up you allowed her to drive the range rover around the balmoral estate because as i understand it she loved to drive herself. >> and at some speed. >> and at some speed, absolutely. you have clearly gotten to know over the years former prince charles, now king charles iii. how will he cope with this role? >> well, he has been preparing for it for his whole life. i think what's interesting is as prince of wales he is probably the first ever for long professional prince of wales. he has an amazing team around him. he has his issues that he wants to promote -- or did want to promote and as king will no longer do that. i will say three things, he's enormously hard working, works day and night and is meticulous,

he has a great sense of humor like his late mother and third he has time for the people who aren't doing the important roles. he will stop and thank people, spend time with people who are actually behind the scenes, it's not a show, it's what he he is like as a person. i think that's what we will find with him. >> that's really important and certainly will be for him. as people who know him and you do, you will say that he has time for people. so the british public and those in countries around the world where he will be head of state also need to learn to connect with a man who perhaps isn't as -- i want to say accessible. the queen was actually not very accessible to anybody, but everybody felt they knew her, they could connect with her. how does he do that? >> well, i think the early signs are he does it naturally. i thought that walk about, this is a grieving son, the king, the newly anointed king, and he was spending time with people and connecting. so i think obviously there's

something about the role itself, but there's something about him as a person, i think, that people are connecting with. it's early days obviously but i think the combination of that wonderful well-judged speech, the walk about, the accession council although obviously that was pure sort of process, i think we're seeing the king emerge. >> an awful lot of theatre that as well. finally before i let you go, you talked about the walk about. prince charles meeting people here outside buckingham palace. what about the boys as they are known, prince william and harry together with their wives yesterday in windsor. how important is that? >> i think it's what the british people wanted to see and i think at times like this and we are all parts of families, a grieving family comes together and i thought it was not just the right thing to do but perhaps let's hope it's the start of a new dynamic. often in these situations families reconnect in a different way, but certainly from the british people's point of view that is exactly what people wanted to see. >> very good to have you with

us. thank you very much. >> pleasure. >> what is a super morning here, sunday morning here in london. simon lewis for you. let's get you over to new york for a look at other news from around the world. allison cassock is standing by. >> great interview with sigh son. ukrainian flags are going back up in key towns and cities retaken from russia. coming up, we report live from zaporizhzhia on what looks to be an embarrassing defeat for moscow. ♪ go betty! let's be more than our allergies! zeize the day. zyrtec.

i'm alison kosik. in ukraine the last operating reactor at the zaporizhzhia nuclear plant has been shut down. that's according to ukraine's nuclear agency. the international atomic energy agency said last tuesday shelling damaged a backup power line supplying the facility. news at the plant comes as ukraine reports major gains against russia in the east. ukrainian troops on saturday rolled into izyum driving out kremlin forces after more than five months of occupation. izyum looks to be the most significant defeat for moscow since the battle for kyiv.

and as the blue and yellow flags went up in nearby towns, even pro-russian officials had to admit they were evacuating into russian territory. izyum could open up a new front against russian forces in the donbas. ukraine's president is already naming which cities could be liberated next. >> translator: the city in the donetsk region is still waiting for our flag and it's inevitable. ukraine always comes back. we show this clearly. the entire donetsk region will be liberated, safe and happy again, as it should be in ukraine and should be everywhere in our land. >> cnn's sam kiley is live for us in zaporizhzhia with the latest. sam, with operations at the nuclear plant shut down, do you know what that means for the safety of the facility itself? >> reporter: well, the whole idea is that this is because of the safety of the facility.

now, what's happened is that over the last few weeks the power supply to the nuclear power station has been intermittent, it has been frequently cut, forcing the authorities there to trigger the emergency backup system. now, that is predominantly diesel generators that generate electricity to run the cooling system for the nuclear reactors there. normally speaking that would be done by a cable or several cables being supplied into the nuclear power station by a nearby traditional power station, but because those have been cut due to fighting they have had to rely on these diesel backup generators. that has happened so frequently that as far as the ukrainian authorities are concerned and they would have done this in coordination with the united nation, they have two inspectors on the ground there inside the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, they have elected to close it down all together. that doesn't mean that it will symptom reacting, that's not something you can do with a nuclear power plant, but what

they can do is take it off the grid, rely now entirely on the backup systems, either its own capacity to generate power or the diesel generators to keep it cool in order to make sure that in their view it doesn't represent a hazard to the rest of the country. but this is a very dramatic development because its at peak this is a nuclear facility that provided 20% of ukraine's total generating capacity. that has been substantially reduced since the russians captured it on march 4th this year but it has still be supplying up until recently power into the ukrainian national grid. they will have to get their electricity elsewhere. what this does also do is in theory anyway prevent the russians effectively from stealing the electricity and trying to move it into their own network. >> sam, can you give us more details about the latest big wins for ukrainian forces? >> reporter: yeah, this has been

a very dramatic push in the north around kharkiv, effectively the second largest city in the country that was very heavily bombarded by russia in the early days of the war and nearly captured. since then it has been the scene -- that entire province the scene of extremely heavy fighting as the russians have tried to consolidate their grip on the east of the country, but the ukrainians at the same time is launching a counteroffensive in the south, pretty much at the same time, launched a counteroffensive in the north, too, splitting russian forces and very effectively conducting assault operations that in the last 24 hours have meant that the city of izyum effectively the main city on the route east/west between kharkiv and kramatorsk was held by the russians, now we understand it has been recaptured by the ukrainians in very dramatic move

in which many, many dozens of kilometers are being captured almost by the hour as these ukrainian forces have been pushing through. now, it's premature to say that this is a russian collapse of the military in that area. that is the sort of thing that the ukrainians are talking about and ultimately it will be their ultimately objective is to cause a collapse in russian ranks, to cause a rout and hopefully drive the russians out of the country. still a great deal of territory to be captured. >> thanks for all that great context. earlier i spoke with matthew schmidt the associate professor of national security at the university of new haven and i asked him about the significance of ukrainians entering the city of izyum. >> this has been a tremendous couple of days for ukraine.

it's hard to underestimate how important these gains are. they caught the russians by surprise, which is shocking because people were talking about the possibility of a breakthrough in this very spot, but the commanders weren't listening and frankly the troops that they had were unprofessional, were second tier in that region which is queen will lie it was chosen. the ukrainians now have to find the reserves to exploit the campaigns that they have made, to continue to push east and then to move south towards donetsk. that's really the key for them right now and we will see in the coming days if they have that. >> are the recent advances the result, do you think, of fresh western weapons, a change in tab particulars by ukraine, russia proving less durable than thought, or is it a combination of all of those? >> well, it's a combination, but i would highlight what i learned with u.s. army is that war is about politics and warfare is about people and

professionalism. what you have is the world's heretofore thought of as second most powerful military collapsing because as it turns out it's unprofessional on the inside. what happened in the east here in large part is you had second and third tier personnel in those front lines, you had officers who have been denuded in battle who are unprofessional and not paying attention to the signs. on the flip side you have a citizen volunteer army that's turned professional in a matter of weeks, that is exploiting the weapons that have been given to them by the united states and the west to great effect, but they're able to do that because they know why they're fighting and, therefore, they are fighting. the russians increasingly what we see from reports don't know why they're there and aren't fighting hard because of that. >> okay. let's look at it from the other side of the equation here. is there fear that russia could be more likely to unleash a weapon we haven't seen so far, for instance, either chemical

weapons or a tactical nuclear strike to turn the tide back in its favor? >> neither of those would turn the tide back in its favor on the battlefield, but i do think we're at heightened risk, really sort of a mass point of escalation right now for russia to turn and blame this on the west. what we see in the airwaves in russia right now, what we see with their bloggers, is that the narrative is very much now saying that it wasn't ukraine that pushed through here, it was the west, right, and ukraine is our proxy. now they're building up a narrative to attack into poland, into nato bases there or romania or somewhere. we don't know where, but it's unlikely that it would be request something like a tactical nuclear weapon or chemical weapons because that wouldn't help them much, but i think we have to worry about some asymmetrical attack, increased cyber attacks in the u.s. and europe, using oil as a weapon, gas as a weapon again as we move into the winter months

here in europe and some sort of sort of specialized attack because they don't have it on the ground to engage in a conventional attack that's going to do this for them now. >> our thanks to matthew schmidt for his expertise. cnn's coverage of the new royal era continues in just a moment with becky anderson. she will have more on funeral plans for the late queen and a look at a joint public appearance saturday by two royal brothers. stay with us. when we started our business we were paying an arm and a leg for postage. i remember setting up shipstation. one or two clicks and everything was up and running. i was printing out labels and sasaving money. shshipstation saves us so much time. it makes it really easy and s seamless. pick an order, print everything you need, slap the label onto the box, and it's ready to go. our costs for shipping were cut in half.

♪ 25 past 9:00 here in london, i'm becky anderson. we are about a half an hour away from the start of the funeral procession for queen elizabeth ii, her oak coffin will depart from here, her beloved balmoral estate in scotland, this morning there will be stops in edinburgh and then a final journey to london. on wednesday members of the royal family will walk silently behind her coffin in a processi from buckingham palace to westminster hall. the late monarch will then lie in state until monday september 19th when her funeral service will be held at westminster abbey. a historic ceremony at st. james' palace saturday morning officially proclaimed king charles iii as sovereign of the

united kingdom. also saturday the king's sons princes william and harry spent more than 45 minutes talking with mourners outside windsor castle along with her lives. it was the first time the princes have been seen together since the queen's platinum jubilee in june. emily nash is here with me live, a correspondent for "hello magazine." i think i'm right in saying that these couples haven't been seen in public together at a public engagement since march the 9th of 2020. that is pre-covid. how significant were those images yesterday? >> it was a huge moment, a real wow moment from the royal cress respondents i'm in constant contact with. i think it was a classy move on both sides because there's been so much speculation around this and much like at phillip's funeral this is not about them, this is not about the family dynamic behind the scenes, it's about honoring their grandmother and actually putting on a show of unity. i was told that the prince of

wales, prince william was very clear that he want this had show of unity. he's reached out to harry with quite short notice, made the invitation and of course the sussexes were pleased to go and join them. and there was a slight delay, in fact, it had been due to take place 45 minutes earlier, i think there was a bit of scrambling behind the scenes but actually the result was this heart-warming gesture on both sides which i think does a lot to help the whole family. >> does it suggest that the conflict between the two is actually resolved at this point? that would be going too far, wouldn't it? >> i think it's the first step. look, there is a lot going on as we know there's potentially this book that harry is writing, a netflix series, a lot of things, a lot of water has gone under the bridge since march 2020 and there has been a lot of hurt on both sides as we know, but i think they have this unity in terms of both being the sons of the now king, they've both just lost their grandmother, they have so much in common, they are the only people really who understand what each other is

going through at this moment and i think it was really lovely that they made that gesture. >> the accession of the now king charles iii happening yesterday, the streets here behind us, emily, i know that you were here were absolutely packed with people. it was an odd sense, it was quiet, respectful and yet people were obviously very excited to get a shot of king charles iii as he moved between st. james' palace and buckingham palace behind us here. we expect to see crowds of people once again today and for the next eight days as we go through this period now, giving this country, the people this have country and those around the world who she was head of state for the opportunity to say good-bye. >> absolutely. this is a seismic moment for the uk and for other parts of the world because we have had this one person as an icon and as a common point of identity for 70 years and she's gone and i think

the palace are moving very quickly to not fill the void that would never be the correct way of phrasing it, but i think it's important that the king has been as visible as he has. i think we are going to see a great deal of him in the coming days along with other family members and they are out there at a point of time which is very difficult for them. really actually doing their bit to lift spirits. >> it's interesting. i mean, it may not be protocol to call it a void, to fill a void but you're right, effectively it's important that there is no vacuum. when i say it's important i think it is important for the people of britain that there is some continuity. you might say how important is this, how important are the royal family at the end of the day, they just play a ceremonial role. yes, i get that, but it's a role nevertheless and with the sort of issues this country has and countries have around the world

at the moment, certainly when you, for example, see william and harry out there, that lifts the spirits, doesn't it? this royal family does have a role to play. the question is what does that look like going forward? >> well, this is a huge question and i think the queen was always there at times of instability and uncertainty, particularly i'm thinking during covid. some of the public addresses she made were so poignant and so unifying. >> we will meet again. >> exactly. i think king charles now is going to take on that responsibility. i was surprised to hear from a lot of people who i know aren't particularly interested in the royal family or royalists were very moved by his address the other night. i think he still will have this ability to convene people and to offer reassurance at times of public crisis and i think that is a key part to the monarchy's role. >> this is a role finally that prince charles has been rehearsing for his entire life and the prince of wales now prince of wales, prince william,

will have known that this was coming. you get the sense and you've been covering the royals now for years and, you know, as a casual observer i've seen this as well, we've heard from prince charles, he said he's been dreading this moment, dreading the moment that his mother dies and also it's fair to say dreading what comes next. you got that sense from prince william in the past as well. now is the time they have to step up. >> absolutely. >> correct? >> and let's not forget these are two very determined characters, william and his father and they're very passionate about the causes they've been involved with over the years. for the prince of wales it will be a wrench to have to move away from his sustainable markets project, bringing people together from all over the world to fight climate change and things like that. it will be a wrench for him to have to turn his back on those, so to speak and now take on the duties of state. william, too, has the earth shot prize as his major project now and he's obviously focusing so

much energy on that at the moment. having to change responsibilities literally overnight. >> what you are talking about is the royal family needing to be apolitical. i think what's important on issues like climate change and the environment and the earth shot prize, for example, i think certainly in the uk these are -- i think it was tony blake who said this the other day these are i think consensus issues, these are easy issues to carry on, you know, putting forward than perhaps other issues that they might have been activists about in the past. let's hope that they get the opportunity to at least support this going forward. great having you. thank you very much indeed. busy times for royal correspondents these days. emily nash in the house for you. coverage of the new royal era continues in just a moment. straight ahead, commonwealth nations mourning the late queen elizabeth ii and welcoming her son to the throne. a live report from sydney after this.
