well, hello and warm welcome to our viewers joining us in the united states and all around the world. i'm becky anderson live from central london overlooking the palace of westminster where thousands are lining up to pay their respects to queen elizabeth ii. live from cnn world headquarters in atlanta, i'm kim brunhuber with the latest on the war in ukraine and the special master appointed to review documents seized from donald

trump's mar-a-lago estate. a u.s. federal judge has finally appointed a special master to review the confidential and top secret documents seized by the fbi from donald trump's mar-a-lago estate. it could be a while before we hear much more about the investigation. a judge has set a november 30th deadline to complete the review and the justice department is expected to appeal a key part of the justice's order. cnn's sarah murray has details. >> reporter: special master chosen to sift through the thousands of documents the fbi seized from their search in mar-a-lago in august. he's a senior judge from brooklyn. he was chosen for the task put forward by the trump team. one that the justice department also agreed to. now this comes as the judge says

their criminal review. she said no ruling and it's not going to take the government at their word that the documents are classified. the trump team argued that they have the ability to declassify documents. she said she didn't believe there would be irreparable harm by pressing pause on this investigation and as part of the investigation saying first there has been no actual suggestion by the government of any identifiable emergency or imminent disclosure of classified information arising from plaintiff's allegedly unlawful retention of the seized property. instead and unfortunately the unwarranted disclosures that float in the background have been leaks to the media after the underlying seizure. now the special master has until november to complete his work. we are also waiting to see if the justice department appeals this ruling. sarah murray, cnn, washington.

president biden is calling out republican governors for sending migrants to cities run by democrats. the president spoke thursday at a gala put on by the congressional hispanic caucus. in his speech biden called the migrant relocation unamerican. here he is. >> instead of working with us on solutions, republicans have planned planted human beings as props. what they're doing is simply unamerican, it's reckless. >> in the last two days immigrants have arrived at vice president's chairs's residence and in cape cod in massachusetts. they're scrambling to find food and shelter. >> reporter: he was in san antonio, texas, yesterday along with 50 other venezuelan migrants. today he's in martha's vineyard. what did you think of this place? beautiful. gorgeous. the people are very friendly.

in texas he was promised help if he got on the plane no idea where he was going. there were three options, he says. washington, utah, here in massachusetts, whatever was available. the plane left and brought us here. it's a tactic we've seen in texas, arizona, and now florida. republican governors shipping migrants to so-called sanctuary cities and states with little to no notice. >> there's no low that these people will go. they'll keep going lower and lower, and they're willing to use humans, children, women, families as political pawns for their own gain. it is depraved. it is evil. it is wrong, but what makes america great is what we see here today, which is an island community and a state in massachusetts that's coming together to support the people here. >> reporter: a 27-year-old mechanic from venezuela says he's been welcomed with food, new clothes here on the island.

he tells us he made a difficult month and a half long journey for liberty, democracy and the promise of america. when you step on american soil, you feel at ease that you're here and well protected. you lose the stress of the journey we had to go through in seven countries. very stressful across all of central america. this parish house bustling with act activity. volunteers and organizers working to provide food, shelter and immigration services. >> we've got the bodies to do this. the biggest problem was the short notice. that was obviously intentional. >> reporter: just 20 minutes' notice says the airport manager, a deliberate move by florida governor ron desantis who is taking credit for the surprise trip. >> our message is we're not a sanctuary state. we don't have benefits or any of that. there are some sanctuary jurisdictions and that would be better. >> reporter: that message not sitting well with officials here

in martha's vineyard. >> we're going to come together and support whoever shows up here and we're going to make sure the people have the food, water, and shelter that they need. you know, ron desantis and republicans might want to play political games with people's lives. i believe that's incredibly inhumane to be using women, children, families as a political pawn. >> reporter: i want to give you a sense of what's happening here more than 24 hours after these immigrants were brought to martha's vineyard. this is saint andrews parish house. this is the only homeless shelter on martha's vineyard. it holds 10 people. it had to increase it to hold up to 50. lawyers who have been meeting with the migrants are starting to get a sense of where they are from, what their legal situation is. they say na all of them that they spoke to were told untruths and lies about getting on that plane and where they were going to go and what sort of resources would be here. so they're trying to sort through all of that. they also say that in the days

ahead, in a few days maybe, most if not all of the 50 immigrants who arrived here will move on to other cities across the country. back to you. in the coming hours president biden will meet with family members of two americans imprisoned in russia. former u.s. marine paul whelan has been jailed for more than three years on espionage charges. brittney griner was detained in february on drug charges. biden is meeting with the families separately. it will be their first time talking face to face. an administration official has said there's been, quote, movement but not a breakthrough to exchange the americans for a convicted russian arms dealer. some $600 million worth of new u.s. military aid will soon be on its way to ukraine. the package includes ammunition for the high mars rocket launcher but it doesn't include

longer range tactical missiles for the high mar system ukraine wanted. the u.s. has spent $150 billion since the russian invasion began. meanwhile, we're getting images of an alleged mass burial site found in northeast ukraine. ukrainian officials say it contains at least 440 graves near the city of izium. cnn hasn't confirmed who is buried there and who has died but president zelenskyy is pointing the finger at russia. ben we wedeman is joining us li. what more can you tell us? >> reporter: well, we originally heard from the police chief of the kharkiv region where izium is located, where this mass grave allegedly is located, who said that they believe at least 440 bodies have been buried there. now from what we understand, there are markings on some of

the graves that indicate that there are, for instance, 17 people from the momrgue have ben put there. otherwise, it's crosses with no names on them. it's not clear at this point who these people were, how they were killed. if you look at, for instance, previous instances where mass graves were uncovered, particularly in the town of bucha outside of the capitol kyiv where investigators found 458 bodies in a mass grave, 419 of them, according to the investigators, showed signs of being either executed, tortured to death or beaten to death. and i think this is an indication of perhaps what's going to be uncovered in this massive area of 8,000 square miles where the russians have been driven out by their ukrainians in the last two

weeks. keep in mind the russians control large parts in the city of mariupol on the southeastern part of the country, local officials loyal to the government in kyiv have talked about tens of thousands of people being so the details on this particular mass grave in izium are still unclear. we understand that investigators are going there trying to uncover what has happened. journalists are going to be taken there today so more details are coming, but the scant information we have certainly would indicate it is a mass grave. kim? >> we'll keep following this very important story. ben wedeman, thanks so much. appreciate it. ukraine was top of mind for vladimir putin as he met with his chinese counterpart in uzbekistan. the russian president thanked xi jinping for balanced position on the matter, but he didn't seem

to get the response he was looking for. the chinese leader on his first foreign trip in two years didn't even mention ukraine. instead he thanked russia for respecting its one china policy and emphasized economic ties and trade. in just a couple of hours now brittain's new king charles iii and his wife, the queen consort, will return to wales for the first time since he became sovereign. the king's relationship with that country goes back more than half a century when he took the title prince of wales. well, the long awaited details of queen elizabeth's funeral have now been made public, and it promises to be one of the most elaborate events ever held in british history.

this evening king charles will return from wales and will be joined by his younger sister and two brothers at a silent vigil at the queen's coffin in westminster hall in the palace of westminster behind me where mourners have been streaming through by the thousands since late wednesday. live tracker of the cue to get inside westminster hall shows it is currently nearly 5 miles long with an estimated wait time of 11 -- it's changing by the moment here. of at least 14 hours. cnn's nina dos santos is standing by in cardiff. let's get to nada bashir. 14 hours now the wait. it's a chilly morning. it's a bright morning, but it's a chilly morning. and as i understand it, people waiting very patiently. it means something to them just to be part of what is, nada,

this moment in history. >> reporter: yeah, absolutely. this is a moment that many people do not want to miss, the queen lying in state for four full days, until monday morning, the day of the funeral. it is really remarkable to see just how long this cue is. and it keeps getting longer. we've actually just had an update from the government just in the last few moments confirming that the waiting time is around 14 hours. they said the cue is currently in suffolk park. if the park reaches capacity entry to the cue will be pulled. so anybody in the cue right now may be waiting a little while longer. anybody who hasn't set off to join yet may be better off waiting because it is significantly longer than yesterday and the morning hours earlier today. there are those who have braved the cold weather over the overnight. we're joined by gray and ollie.

they've been waiting overnight. how long have you been in the cue for? >> we came down at half 12. what are we looking at, half 8, 9:00. >> overnight. >> it's been cold. i won't lie, it's been cold. great atmosphere. everyone is chatting. yes, not what we expected. i thought everyone would be quite solemn but, no, it's been really good. >> reporter: why was it so important to do this, to pay your respect to the queen? >> well, we were at the buckingham palace on saturday and over to windsor. it's for us to pay our respects and to obviously give the kids the opportunity to come down and obviously see what's going on and experience it for themselves really. >> reporter: you've had a very long time to wake and staying awake. how did it feel? >> good. >> reporter: are you tired? >> little bit. >> reporter: little bit tired? >> i've been staying up all night. >> reporter: how have you guys been keeping warm? >> pretty chilly and cold but it's been warm because it's

like -- it's not dark anymore. >> reporter: are you all doing okay? >> yeah. >> reporter: still got a while to go? >> maybe so. i don't know. >> reporter: still a while to go, but as you can see, a lot of people here are very upbeat. it is a moment people don't want to miss especially for families. this is a moment of history and a lot of the people here said they want to share this moment with their children, with their families. there are stewards and volunteers keeping this going, keeping it moving. as those numbers get bigger, becky, it is expected it may slow down over the coming hours. >> yeah. they're never going to it forget that, are they. let's get you to nina dos santos. ahead of that, nina, he will be in wales. >> reporter: yeah, that's right. king charles is intimately familiar with wales because of

its crucial line in succession. he is the prince of wales and that title is being bestowed on his son, prince william. there are long lines outside of cardiff castle where things are going to culminate later on this afternoon. first we're expecting the monarch and queen consort to arrive. they'll have a prayer and reflection service and they'll head to the senate which is the world's parliament and they will culminate here. this is the final lap of the four stops, cardiff castle. the cues have been built up. i've been joined here by a family who's set off at 4 in the morning. why did you feel you had to come here? >> because it's history. history is getting made. wanted to bring the boys so they could see, be a part of it.

>> reporter: you're a windsor yourself by surname, any relation? >> no. >> reporter: how do you feel about the links between wales and the royal family? obviously this is one of the most crucial parts of the realm for the now king charles iii. >> i think it's important to be united as a kingdom even though wales has got its own independence and whatever, but i think it's important for them to be united. >> reporter: do you think people are united here in this crowd? there are -- there have been question marks about whether or not protestors might turn up here for a silent protest. how do you feel about that as somebody who's taken the time to come down from north wales to come and support. >> everyone has freedom of speech, that's their right but now is not the time while the country is in mourning.

>> reporter: what are your thoughts about queen elizabeth ii? i understand you come from north wales. the footprints of what happened and her visit there to north wales after that tragedy is still keenly felt there, isn't it? >> yeah. yeah, it's just really sad. she's been on the throne for 70 years. i think we all feel it. really sad time. >> thank you very much, claire. boys, you've got your flags, the welsh dragon. can you wave them? are you excited? >> yes. >> reporter: have a great day. i hope you manage to catch a glimpse of our new king charles iii and his queen consort. we're expecting, becky, for the king to leave wales in the early part of the afternoon to join his siblings for the vigil around his late mother's coffin. becky? >> nina dos santos in wales and nada bashire and they may get to

see charles and his siblings later when they get to file past the queen's casket. still much more ahead in our special coverage of queen elizabeth's remembrance. coming up, we'll be speaking with the ambassador to the u.k. about what this moment means for the middle east and the gulf, qatari ambassador. strike averted. this means nationwide strike will now not happen, at least for now. we'll have details next. plus, alaska is bracing for the strongest storm to hit in a decade. live after the break. stay with us. to destroy 5x morere plaque above the gumline than floss. for a cleaner, healthier mouout. listerine. feel the w whoa!

to begin. the source says president biden made a key call to negotiators warning of catastrophic harm if the deal didn't go through. here he is. >> this agreement allows us to continue to rebuild a better america with an economy that truly works for working people and their families. today is a win, and i mean this sincerely, a win for america. i want to thank you all for getting this done. >> the union's rank and file still needs to vote on the deal. their leadership is telling them the deal is just what they need. listen to this. >> this is monumental for our employees, our members. they deserve time off, time with their families. they deserve the ability to get medical care without having to worry about any kind of discipline policy or retribution. so we worked hard for that. >> a strike would have slammed the brakes on supply chains across the nation and would have been the first of its kind in 30 years.

people in alaska are bracing for what could be the strongest storm to hit the state in more than a decade. the national weather service is urging people along the coast to complete storm preparations soon as conditions will quickly deteriorate in the coming hours. the storm is what's left of typhoon mariubak. let's bring in meteorologist derek van dam. you've been tracking this. what exactly is heading their way? >> a behemoth of a storm. this is impressive. i want you to see it on the side of the tv screen here. all those tightly packed yellow lines or white lines. those are called isobars and it shows you the strength and depth of how impressive that area is. we have the strongest storm in over a decade according to the national weather service. it's potentially going to bring the worst coastal flooding in nearly 50 years rivaling some

the palace of westminster this friday morning. welcome back to "cnn newsroom." i'mbacky anderson. if you are just joining us, let

me bring you up to speed. right now the queen is lying in state. mourners from all over have come to pay their respects. the line is currently about five miles long with an estimated wait time of at least 14 hours. well, in the hours ahead, king charles and queen consort camila will travel to cardiff and wales. once there they will attend a service of prayer and reflection for the life of the queen. leaders from all over the world will attend her state funeral on monday. among them, officials from across the ghufl and middle east, a region that holds special meaning for king charles iii. the new king and his queen consort dipping their fingers at what is believed to be the baptismal site of jesus christ. then heir to the throne, his visit to jordan and egypt was

significant being the first overseas tour by a senior member of the royal family since a start of the covid-19 pandemic. the king's affection for jordan, like his mother's, well established. here a 2015 meeting with abdullah ii. >> i have no doubt in my mind that this friendship between our two royal families, between our peoples will continue to flourish, prosper and get stronger by the day under his imagine guess city, king charles iii whom we've had the pleasure of welcoming in jordan. he knows jordan and many friends in jordan. >> reporter: over the years he's taken hundreds of documented meetings. the crown prince of bahrain. the amir of qatar. oman as sultan.

egypt's president and the list goes on. >> there are an awful lot of very senior relationships that have a bit of history to them, which i'm sure will help, as it were, going forward when it comes to re-establishing those relationships now that he is king. i don't particularly see, you know, all that much changing in the sense that the middle east will continue, i'm sure, to be a key part of his portfolio. >> reporter: his visit to that holy site in jordan, however, an example of the king's affinity with the middle east going much deeper than mere diplomacy. he's long had a keen interest in islamic art and culture having studied history, archaeology and anthropology at the university of cambridge. most recently he spent time learning arabic so he can better understand the koran. he's toured ancient sites.

>> how else can we heal the divide between east and west. >> reporter: although christian, he's made reaching out to the muslim community a corner stone of his public service. he serves as a pat tron of the oxford center of islamic studies. >> for king charles the search of his spirituality and then to look out for commonalties with other faiths has been very important. in his first meetiajor lecture spoke about the indebtedness the west has to civilization. that might be a fact well known to historians, but for him to stand up and say this i think reminded people that we are talking about the universe of civilization to which all people have contributed and from which all people can benefit. >> reporter: indeed, the king sees himself as not just

defender of the faith but also as a protector of all faiths. a bridge traversing the western and arab worlds. so while the queen's passing signals the closing of a chapter, charles's track record in the region suggests a new one is just beginning. >> if you're a regular viewer of cnn, you know i'm normally with my team in abu dhabi in the uae. british relations have been warm. in 1972, shortly after the treaty of friendship was signed, the first qatari ambassador was given an escort to buckingham palace by her majesty's guard in a horse drawn carriage. the queen made her first visit in 1979. in 2010 windsor castle brought

out all the pageantry. the queen offered this in her welcoming speech. >> as old and valued friends, you are particularly welcome. i very much hope that you, your family and all the people of qatar will always look upon the united kingdom as a home from h home. >> joining me here now is qatar's current ambassador to the united kingdom. those images we saw were back from 2010. we have pictures of the current amir meeting the queen, but in may, as i understand it, he was one of, if not the last foreign dignitaries to meet with the queen at windsor castle. >> as far as we know he is the last who met her majesty at windsor castle. it is a special occasion every time a member of the royal family, especially our amirs,

would have any engagements with the u.k. it would be an important point to meet her majesty and engage to build on the long standing relationship we've had. >> someone described it quite aptly as the canopy. the relationship is sort of the canopy under which relations are built to a certain extent. just think about that enduring relationship. >> well, the relationship with the u.k. has gone well over a century and the engagement with our monarchy, our royalties has been an essential corner stone of that relationship with the two countries. her majesty, the queen, represents this constancy for everyone. i mean, she opened the very school that the amir has attended in qatar in 1979. you just mentioned earlier that she has made that state visit to qatar. so it just maintains and sits above all this political change that happened below the

monarchies, so to speak. and this occasion of her passing represents this unity that brings everyone together, including her monarchy. >> let's talk about king charles. one of his key pillars is the amount of tolerance, inclusivity strongly supportive of the muslim communities. he has a huge admiration for and interest in islam. and how do you see this new era and that relationship between the royal family here and yours in qatar developing under what is a new monarch? >> extremely important. i mean, his understanding of our part of the world is a crucial aspect. i think that will just build on the momentum that already exists between the gulf and the u.k., to have a monarch who has that level of understanding is crucial and i think it will just propel the relationships even further.

>> while king charles doesn't make policy, these trips are important obviously diplomatically. the u.k. and qatar have built robust defense ties in the past. the royal navy airport will be providing security for the upcoming world cup this year. how important has the royal family been in building that? i want to get to the bottom of that because, you know, it's -- they -- they rein, they don't rule. they don't govern here. this is more of a symbolic relationship, isn't it? >> it is a symbolic relationship, but one that offers a lot of strength to the nation. i mean, to have this symbol of unity. for us it's also important to have people we can engage with on a longer term basis. while we have these commercial ties, military ties, economic ties with the u.k., it is

important that we have a direct relationship with some entity, body, symbol that sits above all these commercial interests. >> the politicians come and go. >> right. >> four, five-year periods. i can't let you go without asking about preparations for the world cup. there are exercises ahead of these events to iron out any problems that may occur. i know, frankly, the exercises ahead of the world cup have shown some issues that need ironing out. tell me, how are things going? we are -- you know, we're talking about sort of weeks, not months and years ahead at this point. how are things? >> things are going pretty well. we just had a huge match a few days ago between two of the most popular arab clubs. more than 70,000 people attended. it went perfectly well. as you rightly said, these exercises are intended to smooth and iron out any issues.

i think that we will be testing and continue to test until the very last day. i think the world will see -- will experience a fantastic world cup, especially when there are two national teams coming from the u.k., wales and england. i hope they will be paying some tribute to the majesty given that it's also the jubilee, the platinum jubilee. we have two nations, we have a new king so we are all very excited. >> good stuff. i know there are lots and lots of people who will have tickets and will be looking forward from here. >> including yourself. >> including myself. i'll be covering it as a broadcaster. hopefully i'll get to a match or two. very much looking forward to that. that of course starts in november. thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you. >> ambassador with me here. with the houses of parliament behind me, that is the palace of westminster as it is known. that is where the queen's casket lies in state. thousands streaming pasta head of her funeral which, of course, is on monday.

should a victim of sexual assault be punished for killing her alleged rapist? that's the question in iowa where a teenager stabbed her reported attacker when she was only 15 years old. now she's been ordered to pay his family a large restitution and was told she's lucky to avoid jail. her story isn't the only one of

its kind. lucy cavanaugh reports. >> reporter: outrage is growing in the case of an iowa teen sentenced to five years probation for killing her alleged rapist, ordered to pay the man's family $150,000. >> the court is cognizant that you and quite frankly your supporters might be angry -- >> reporter: piper lewis was just 15 years old when she stabbed 37-year-old zachary brooks to death inside his des moines apartment in 2020 where she says he raped her multiple times. >> i wish the events that took place on june 1st, 2020, never occurred, but to say there's only one victim to this story is absurd. >> piper has been used for money for drugs by adults. >> reporter: in her plea agreement lewis led to the series of events that led to the

killing. saying she was trafficked by an older man who forced her to have sex for money including brooks. she described being assaulted repeatedly, including while being unconscious stating i suddenly realized that mr. brooks had raped me yet again and was overcome with rage. lewis was facing up to 20 years prison. the judge deferred those sentences on tuesday meaning her guilty plea could be expunged if she completes five years probation at a residential correctional facility. >> this is the second chance that you asked for. you don't get a third. understand that? >> yes, i do. >> for the next five years your life will be full of rules that you will disagree with. i'm sure of it. >> the judge said the restitution was mandatory under iowa law. >> this court has no discretion but to impose the $150,000 restitution payable to mr.

brooks's family. >> i don't think justice was served. >> reporter: rights advocates point to victims facing punishment. >> if they act in self-defense against the people who harm them have not been treated well by our legal system historically. >> that means i'm going to die h here. >> reporter: sarah crusan was sentenced to life as a teenager for killing a man who sexually abused and trafficked her pardoned in july. >> state of wisconsin versus crystal kaizer. >> in wisconsin she's facing a life sentence for killing a man who forced her into trafficking at 16. >> reporter: she was eventually granted clemency and released in

2019 after 15 years behind bars. >> you know, it's just a story that has unfortunately become all too familiar. >> reporter: reacting to lewis's sentence in an interview with pbs news hour. >> she was a victim in this situation. not only is she going to have to serve time in a facility but over the next five years anything she does can trigger her having to serve a 20-year sentence. so she's not truly free. >> reporter: piper lewis avoids prison for now but human rights activists say people like her need support in healing their trauma instead of punitive measures. their message, the justice system should be punishing child sex traffickers rather than their victims. lucy cavanaugh, cnn, denver. lewis's supporters have started a go fund me page to help pay her restitution and go to college. the goal was to raise $200,000 but donors have already contributed more than twice that amount. if you wish to contribute you
