moved to the palace of westminster beginning at 8:00 a.m. eastern time. thank you very much for watching, i am wolf blitzer in the situation room. erin burnett out front starts right now. forcing the russians out, the ukraine counteroffensive has put russian forces running back home over the border and dissent in russia is growing with a warning from the kremlin. for a federal judge unsealing more of the affidavit investigators used to obtain a search warrant from mar-a-lago, we know that donald trump had documents with markings referring to human spies. queen elizabeth's lifelong love of horses, i will speak to a legendary trainer who had a friendship with the queen.

i am erin burnett. russia running home, the pentagon saying that russian forces are going back to russia over the border completely after stunningly effective counteroffensive by the ukrainians. the press secretary said the russians were caught off guard and some are in full retreat. >> we have seen a number of russian forces, especially in the northeast, cross over the border into russia. >> full on, our exclusive video from a town just liberated clearly shows how desperate russian troops were to get out. we have a report from a recaptured city, they left crates of equipment. they left weapons. they left the ukrainian take. leaving so much equipment behind. crucial equipment that will be

used by ukrainians against russians and it shows the desperate nature of russia. this is as evidenced of more defense -- dissent in russia, nearly 50 municipal deputies have signed a petition demanding the resignation of putin. when i mentioned this petition last night, we are at almost double the number of officials, making a very public and dangerous call. got doubled in 24 hours. some are paying the price. one official said several colleagues who are calling for putin to resign and be charged with treason were summoned by the police and they will have a trial. tonight, a suspicious headlight out of russia as a top energy executive met with putin weeks ago is said to have drowned in the sea of japan according to

russian state media. the latest powerful russian boss two died under mysterious circumstances, suddenly, he met with putin just weeks ago . nine russian businessmen have died since the start of the war in ukraine and 12 days the chairman of a russian oil and gas giant, an important company that traded on the new york stock exchange, he fell from a sixth floor hospital window, they said it was an accident, suicide from a hospital window. months ago, another oil executive was founded near moscow and state tv said he died from heart failure, this is the same company that came out against the war and the board released a statement calling for the soonest termination of armed conflict in ukraine. as for the kremlin, a putin spokesperson says criticism must remain within the framework of the law and saying there is a fine line and must be very careful. we have coverage in ukraine. melissa, what is the latest?

>> reporter: the latest is that the south, the counteroffensive appears to have slowed, up against the russians fighting back. it is here in this region that strewn military equipment of primary concern, ukrainians fearing that the russian soldiers who did not make it back across the border may still be in the region and they are worried about what attacks there may be here. it is about taking control of this kind of region, the 6000 square kilometers that have been taken, and keeping control of it. also trying to get help to those parts of the country that have been liberated. remember, there is fear and concerns among ukrainians about who may have collaborated and who is simply trying to survive. she is ashamed of what little she has, food given by the

russians. mainly rice, sugar, flour. for six months, she and her 35- year-old daughter were virtual prisoners of their apartment, too scared to go out, the medical help they need after an accident 15 years ago impossible to get. most people left, she says. only the poorest left behind living on what they can grow, apples and watermelon mostly. her empty refrigerator now her primary concern. enough for one month. she is embarrassed to show the world how empty it is. she tries to offer us some of the watermelon reserve she has just made before showing us around a towel liberated on friday after several days of

fighting. the shops are now closed. for six months, only affordable to russian soldiers. >> they mock people, sometimes they killed, there were so many of them and they were so young. >> reporter: the arrival of ukrainian soldiers a relief for them but almost too much to digest. >> there is psychological abuse and there is violence. for me, psychological abuse is worse. we were sitting in the basement for two days, and our husbands came and said our soldiers are here. it was tears of happiness. >> reporter: happiness of the change of hands but uncertainty still about how to survive and what the immediate future holds.

bear in mind that those parts of the country are still under the subject of a media blackout and we had to be careful what we showed. there was a pulley station right next door where people were having their phones check to see if they have collaborated. this was a political regime that was in place for six months and ukrainians have to deal with, not only the fear of russians from without, but a newfound suspicion from within. >> they said 10 days and try to sweep the collaborators and how they are treated. it is just the beginning of something. thank you. let's go to former u.s. defense secretary, chuck hagel, thank you for taking the time. i want to get your perspective on where we stand. people here this blitzkrieg of a counteroffensive and they have hope for ukraine. let me show a map of where we

are, the areas in solid yellow are the areas that ukraine says it has reclaimed from russia, a significant amount of territory. obviously, relative to the entire front, it is a more than 1000 mile front. it is a small portion. the area is in kharkiv in the east, russia says it was outmanned in this counteroffensive by ukraine, 8- 1, that is usually significant because overall coming into the work ukraine had former -- less than 200,000 troops and russia had 1 million, ukraine had to move a lot of forces from elsewhere to the region which they cannot sustain indefinitely. with that perspective, will ukraine be able to hold these gains and continue this counteroffensive elsewhere? >> thank you, erin.

we don't know. there are two big dynamics among many dynamics that will play out. one, how the russians will respond to this. putin started this war , putin cannot afford to lose this war . you mentioned the reasons why, internal problems in russia, other reasons more significant than that. the second part is, your question about, did the ukrainians move troops into this area so that they had the ability for the blitzkrieg? i suspect they did. they had to move some troops. where they took those troops from, i don't know. this would have been a strategic issue and calculation that they made that whatever they had to do was worth it. they also would have good intelligence to show that the russians were weak in this

area. logistics have always been a problem for the russians in the last seven months. they continue to be a problem. >> you were serving as defense secretary when russia invaded crimea in 2014 and now the commander of the ukrainian forces has taken credit for the missile attacks that took out the russian air force airplanes and said there were more where that came from with the ambition to retake crimea. do you think ukraine could pull off a full victory as defined by crimea is back in ukraine? >> well, i think, again, it is an unanswered question. what the ukrainians are doing, from what i have seen, and maybe i have a little better educated understanding of all this than many, i don't have the specifics of the intelligence. i have not seen it.

what they are doing, with what they have got, with what we have provided them, the sophisticated weaponry from us, it has gotten better, plus our intelligence is much better that we are working with them on. and the ukrainian troops have gotten much better. all of those things say to me that there is a lot of possibilities here. when 2014 came and russia, they did not go into crimea, they were in crimea, they had a long- term contract with ukrainian government and they had troops there. but the ukrainian military just was not very capable. our special forces started training them in 2014, as well as other nato country forces. that has made a huge difference in their ability, their leadership, their capability as we continue to provide better arms, more sophisticated arms, and intelligence.

that has helped them. i have to give them a lot of credit for their strategies, how they are doing this, and they are being led well. they are learning. they are training. the training is good and it is getting better. there are a lot of possibilities. >> you have met putin , what do you make of his actions at this point? in the context of some of these headlights we are getting out of russia, some of the dissent, russian troops going back over the border. where do you think he is right now? >> well, he is a ruthless desperate. he always has been. he is smart. he is clever. if you want to know about putin, i don't have a great psychological profile of him, i don't know him that well, all you need to know is how he was framed and shaped in his mentality, and how he sees the

world. he was shaped and framed as a young kgb officer. everything he sees, everything he touches, is within the framework of how the kgb sees the world. you have a police state in russia. that is not by accident. he is clever. but he has liabilities. any dictator does have liabilities. once we have seen the last few days, which you have reported on, the turning in russia a little bit. why are we in this war? we are losing this war. let's get out of this war. i don't think that will stop suddenly. all the other strange happenings, the oil officials, the strange unexplained deaths. all of that is real and we have to understand this is a closed society.

we only know publicly what the kremlin tells us. but that is very dangerous. especially in a world that is so unstable. that means unstable in russia, not just the world. i think there is an anything possible scenario. >> i appreciate your time, thank you very much. a federal judge unsealing new information about the investigation into sensitive material at mar-a-lago, why did donald trump have documents referring to human spies? and the legendary horse trainer who bonded with queen elizabeth, what he wants you to know about his friend and their shared love of horseback riding. for a federal grand jury looking at donald trump's super pack which may be trying to defraud voters out of millions of dollars..

affidavit? >> reporter: this affidavit matches the information we learned previously in the litigation over the special master. but we do have a few things that we have learned from the newly unredacted portions of this. we learned that this subpoena that was served on the trump organization in june went back all the way back to january for video from those hallways, from the areas where these rooms, near some of the rooms where the documents were retrieved during the august search. over 100 documents, a lot mark hcs, si, other very highly sensitive pieces of information closely guarded by the cia, nsa, and other organizations. this is a document dated, something given to the judge before they approved the search warrant in august. >> you are learning more

tonight about the subpoenas. the doj subpoenas, the one sent to more than 30 people connected to donald trump. this flurry of more than 30 subpoenas. what can you tell us? >> reporter: one of the things we learned in looking at the language in the subpoenas, prosecutors are connecting the dots between everything from the violence that occurred after the rallies, the fundraising that went into the rallies, connecting it to the larger effort of donald trump and his allies to use fake electors for him to remain in office even though he lost the election. some of the key people we have previously reported on include people who were campaign aides, his lawyers, boris epshteyn, a close aide in the white house, and later on, is still working with the former president, he had fbi agents show up at his home, they gave him a subpoena

and copy everything on his phone. this gives you a sense of the extent to which the prosecutors are trying to connect everything back to january 6th. >> thank you. we have the co-editor in chief of just security and we have stephanie grisham, former donald trump white house secretary. donald trump has had documents, a portion of the affidavit they are unredacted, that had specific information about human spies, signals intelligence, how intelligence is gathered, sources and methods, and pfizer. what do you take away? >> those of the government's most sensitive intelligence programs, and what i take away is that it gave the government no choice. they had to go through the search to appear at mar-a-lago to get the rest of it. if they knew that kind of information was in the wild, it is so highly compromised and

just does not compromise the lives of the spies in the surveillance programs but may have chilling effects on other spies and confidential sources. it has crosscutting implications and shows the enormous national security risks and the assessment that must be conducted by the fbi and national intelligence that has been stymied by the judge's order. >> stephanie what stands out to you from the uncial part of the affidavit? >> with the surveillance video, that is a great move and it will be interesting to, hopefully, if we ever find out who was going into what door, on certain dates, if the doj had been asking for something and suddenly people were moving and being able to see who the players were. >> she mentioned the video, that was part of this, the affidavit says the doj asked for footage from security cameras in mar-a-lago near a storage room, they asked for

that footage going back to as early as january 10th of this year, six months of footage which would include the timeframe where they supposedly headed everything over and supposedly sign an affidavit saying they headed everything over. how significant is this that they have this footage and asked for those dates? smack the date frank is important, they gave us the quote in the subpoena, saying january 10th, 2022, eight days before the national archives shows up at mar-a-lago to a -- if the first boxes. we can see who was sorting out what they did not hand over to the national archives. we do know that there was something on the surveillance video that alarmed the justice department and that is what partly inspired them to do the search on august 8th. that is very important. we don't know how much of the video they got back. >> that is important, stephanie, you know mar-a-lago,

you know the former president. this part of me has a, he really had a security camera outside the door where you will be moving documents you said you didn't have? there is something strange about the whole thing but you have a specific perspective on this knowing him and knowing the location. what stands out to you when you hear january 10th and this footage? >> i agree that it will be important to see who was handling it. i am skeptical as i do not recall seeing security cameras around that area. we saw there is photos of a lot of the documents we found in his office and that will be an interesting -- are there security cameras? were there security cameras around his office were many documents were found? no matter what, it will be important to see who exactly was handling these items. >> thank you both very much. next, look at the live

bucketing down all day. that has not detered people. you see the avenue that leads to buckingham palace, down the street that it about 13 or 14 hours, the queen's funeral will begin the slow procession towards the palace of westminster where her coffin will be laid in state for hundreds of thousands of people to pass. look at these people braving the weather and camping out by the side of the road. there are people who want to pay their respects, everybody wants to pay respects to the queen. people i met earlier to see this as a historical moment that they want to be part of. other people who are absolutely committed to the idea of seeing the last journey of queen elizabeth to her final resting

place. john, can you hear me? can we have a quick chat with you? i spoke to john earlier. how are you? how are you, john? you are knackered. i bet. how long have you been here? >> this is my fifth night. >> reporter: you came down here the day you heard the queen died and you have been temping ever since? >> i have. through torrential rain. i am soaking wet. i am tired. we are here to support her and give her a good sendoff, the best sendoff she has ever had. what she has done for people, that is why we are all here, to

pay our respects. >> reporter: tell us about why you feel you need to camp out all night to pay respects? >> she meant a lot to me and the whole world, she did her duty. she was there for the commonwealth. she was there for everybody. i am here to see her today when she comes out to buckingham palace on the carriage with her coffin. >> reporter: john, thank you very much, well done for camping out all night. it is an important day with hundreds of thousands of people here over the next five or six days who will turn out to pay their respects to the queen. >> absolutely incredible moment. bringing it all alive for us.

thank you, live from london. you see the dedication, he has been there six nights waiting for this in the pouring rain. i want to go to christopher anderson. inside the private lives of william imitate, harry, meghan. that was a moment, matthew is on the street, it is pouring rain, somebody comes out of his tent talking about having been there six nights waiting for this moment. that moment says so much, doesn't it? >> she was a member of their family. it is so british. that is the difference between everyone else. somebody asked me, i am thinking about the similarity between diana's funeral with

these oceans of flowers around the palace, and people in mourning. it is so very different, this is more celebratory, a life well lived. as you know, there will be this 38 minute walk behind the queen's coffin as it makes its way from buckingham palace to light in state in westminster hall. harry, william, charles did that behind diana. william and harry said they did not understand why people were crying in the street. they understand it is a different, it is respectful, but also a celebration of a life. it is not a tragedy. she was 96. >> but the sense of loss is

palpable and the fact that people would do this, camp out, it makes it tangible. i sit here as an american sharing a fascination with the royal family, yet, this is foreign to many americans. and what we will see, the hundreds of thousands of people converging to pay respects. is there anything you can compare this to? >> i was in high school when jfk was assassinated, in terms of pageantry, the moment when everything stopped and jackie kennedy arranged his funeral. all the world leaders gathered. everyone was stunned because it was in the wake of an assassination of a young president. in terms of pomp and circumstance, and history, there is a similarity between that event and this. >> thank you so much, i

princess anne calling it a privilege and honor to accompany her mother on her final journey, her only daughter, that is as we learn more about one of her lifelong passions, a passion she shared with her daughter, princess anne . >> reporter: a moment of silence at the racecourse as jockeys and staff pause to honor the memory of one of the most beloved patrons of horseracing, queen elizabeth. she rode her first course at the age of three, the beginning of a lifelong obsession. the first course she owned, shetland pony, peggy, was a gift for her fourth birthday

her grandfather. and then riding and racing became as ingrained in her dna as her royal bloodline. one famous american that share her love of horses was president ronald reagan, said to have asked to go riding with the queen during his 1982 visit to windsor, leading to these iconic images share the world over. more than half 1 million people were on hand to witness her first ever runner in the derby in 1953. four days after her coronation, her horse placed second that day. >> that is the ultimate dream. >> reporter: she bread and owned winners of every major race on british soil, more than 1000. >> many times i have watched for in the box and she is cheering like mad. she has the passion about it and she loves it. you can see that.

it is not a put on. >> reporter: her love of racing took her to the kentucky derby in 2007 where she and prince philip where the guest of honor. the horseracing event in the u.s., usually a place for people who want to be seen and show off in style, soft throngs of adoring fans lining the streets to catch a glimpse of her motorcade. she never lost her love of riding , up until may. six she rode on horseback during an annual trip in a ceremony and what riding for pleasure well into her 90s. in this video she is shown on a visit this year, inspecting a new foal and sharing a deep knowledge of her horses. she ignited a passion for riding and her children and grandchildren. a young prince charles fell in love with the sport of polo and her daughter, princess anne , became the first royal to

complete in the olympics, riding in the equestrian event in the 1976 montreal games. her daughters followed in her mother's footsteps, competing in the 2012 london olympics, winning a silver medal for great britain, something that delighted the queen. >> she found that she won the silver medal, she grabbed me and we were dancing around in circles. >> reporter: last week, two days after she died, a horse read by the queen won in baltimore, a gelding, a complete outsider, it was coming in sixth place and that it won, she would have loved that as she was a great friend of the sport as a competitor and a spectator. it will be interesting to see who in the royal family takes the reins of her horses. british media says it may fall to queen camilla because she is

a big fan of horseracing. >> thank you very much. monty roberts is a legendary horse trainer who had a friendship with the queen. thank you for speaking with us and sharing your stories of her. she was a lifelong equestrian in her private and public life. there was the famous riding with president reagan in 1982 at windsor castle. we have seen images. how passionate was she about horses and horseback riding ? >> well, ronald reagan had horses in training with me and i knew about him riding with the queen but i did not know she would call and want me to come over there. but it happened. it is very sad time for me to lose her. by the same token, i am

absolutely ecstatic about having the opportunity to know her for 35 years, a close connection for 35 years. before i was gone. i am 87 now. i have been blessed with that relationship. >> you talk about 35 years. it has been an enduring friendship, since she first invited you to windsor castle, but your friendship is about more than horses. what else did you bond over? >> well, the work that i have done in universities to get two doctorates in behavioral science has moved me to the posttraumatic stress area. i discovered that the horses helped me help people with posttraumatic stress. when her majesty saw that, and we set out her castle and wants to clinic of it, she was

overwhelmed by the good that horses did for people with a problem in their mind with posttraumatic stress. >> camilla is also an avid equestrian. i have a photo of you and her with the queen, london times reported that she will be the one taking care of queen elizabeth's horses. you know them both and after being friends with the queen for 35 years, how significant is it that she had this wish, she would want camilla to take care of the horses? >> isn't it amazing that i knew camilla when windsor castle burned? go back to that time, 1992 or something like that. now, sadly, the queen has been

encouraging me to pull camilla closer to the whole thing but i have not had a chance to do that but i have to get a hold of her and tell her how the queen has asked that she pick up the baton and continued his work. and when i am gone, we need people to continue with because country after country is coming forward with the need for help, not only with horses but people that are bothered with posttraumatic stress. >> what was it, do you believe, that made the queen care so much about ptsd? >> well, being born in 1926, the queen was quite aware of what the second world war was. she had a lot of people coming back to england when she was a young lady, that had

posttraumatic stress. remember, it is not a disorder, disorders do not heal, it is an injury that will heal. when she discovered that horses could help heal, you can imagine the celebration she had with herself. it was absolutely incredible. to show you how close we were, it is about 200 phone calls i made in the 35 years. not one time did she ever fail to come on the line on the other end. that is ridiculous, of all the things she had to do, and i can tell you stories that are off the charts, god is up there working to bring us together more closely. it worked. >> thank you so much for sharing with me and everyone watching, your special story. your experience with the queen.

tonight, donald trump getting ready to return to the campaign trail to support an election denier. trump will headline a rally for senate candidate jd vance in ohio this weekend. and it comes as trump's superpac is facing scrutiny for possibly using lies about the election to defraud donors out of millions of dollars. tom foreman is out front. >> don't concede when there is theft involved. >> they cheated in many ways. >> the simple fact is the presidential election was rigged and stolen. >> reporter: after the long storm of lies about the lost election, now comes a flood of subpoenas ss in trump land. with 30 recipients including a former campaign manager, form chief financial officer and former deputy chief of staff. none have responded to cnn's request for comment, but the move underscores the way a

federal grand jury is homing in on trump aides, advisers, and campaign officials. recently, that probe has also appeared focused on groups tied to trump, including the save america leadership pac, which raised more than $100 million on the back of those falsehoods. >> this is really serious because it's a huge amount of money that has been raised, and common sense tells us it's been raised off of a blatant lie. that's where it really becomes dangerous. because under the federal sentencing guidelines, because there is such a larger amount of money involved here, that could cause people to face serious jail time. >> reporter: the probe grew out of the justice department investigation into the january 6th attack. and based on sources familiar with subpoenas for former and current trump insider, it appears focused on three key questions. one, did team trump knowingly make false claims about the lost election? >> repeatedly told the president
