welcome to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada and around the world. i'm kim brunhuber. ahead, a cruel and premeditated political stunt, the white house reacts as republican governors say they won't stop sending migrants out of their states to liberal strongholds. and pressure on putin both inside and outside of his own country. and suspicious death of an iranian woman after she was

taken in on custody by the morality police triggers outrage. florida governor ron desantis had dozens of venezuelan migrants flown to martha's vineyard apparently without notifying officials there. similar to the move started by tooebs g texas governor abbott. they say they are protesting the immigration policies that fail to secure the border and they are vowing to step up the plan. the president has criticized republican officials for, quote, playing politics with human beings and the white house press sent is comparing them to human

smugglers. here she is. >> these were children. they were moms. they were fleeing comcommunism. and they were used as political pawns, treated them like chattel in a cruel premeditated political stunt. >> these are just the beginning efforts. we've got an infrastructure in place now, there will be a lot more that is happening. i got 12 million for us to use and so we are going to use it and you are going to see more and more. >> migrants september to massachusetts were taken to a military base for shelter and humanitarian support. miguel marquez has their story. >> reporter: after less than 48 unexpected hours in martha's vineyard, nearly 50 venezuelan migrants were given a warm sendoff. volunteer embracing each person

as they boarded buses. then ferries and on to the next part of the journey. it is all part of a campaign by greg abbott and ron desantis to send migrants to so-called sanctuary cities by surprise. >> all we're trying to do is offer transport to sanctuary jurisdictions free to the alien but certainly not mandatory. and in that way they are able to go and these jurisdictions can put their money where they mouth is. >> reporter: these immigrants were picked up in texas, some say they were taken to a hotel to wait and then boarded planes. well, we didn't know until last minute our destination such as new york where our relatives reside, he says. some of the immigrants we spoke to say they were promised all sorts of things including jobs and housing. things that never materialized.

we were told it was humanitarian aid by a foundation that in this case remains unknown, he says. it is just the latest account of my migrants seemingly deceived and dropped off. >> they felt fooled and their suffering was exploited. >> reporter: and to confusion in new york city. >> standing at the port authority, he asked me and how do i get to portland, oregon? >> reporter: to california where governor newsom has asked the department of justice to open an investigation into the controversial practice. >> what ron desantis is doing is a disfisdisgrace. almost monstrous. >> they had a packet with a map and they are treated very well. i mean, they are treated well with meals and everything. >> reporter: while volunteers an officials in martha's vineyard promptly responded and cared for their unexpected guests, lawyers assisting the immigrants say the stop did nothing but detour already desperate people.

>> it is sickenly cruel, throwing obstacles in the way of people fleeing violence and oppression, some of whom walked through ten countries in the hopes of finding safety. >> my heart breaks for them because they were not the first priority. they are in my heart forever. i don't know what else to say. >> reporter: look, there is no doubt that these immigrants were well taken care of by the people here on martha's vineyard. the people here on the vineyard and across the country have raised money, almost $200,000, for these immigrants to help them as they move on in their journey. but many of these people are trying to maintain their status here. they are here from venezuela, fleeing political oppression. they have immigration hearings coming up across the country. los angeles, washington state, cincinnati, back in texas, washington, d.c., all over the place. and so the idea of sending them

here to martha's vineyard, an island off the coast of massachusetts really only complicated and already very complicated journey. back to you. >> earlier i spoke with catherine cole, executive director of granny's respond, a nonprofit group that was formed in 2018 to protest the separation of children and families at the southern u.s. border. and they have been dealing with migrants who have been essentially dumped in cities like new york and washington, d.c. and i asked about her reaction to this latest stunt by florida's governor. here she is. >> i think it is cruel, it is heartbreaking for these people. because unless there are people on the ground like grannies respond and our new york city group team tlc nyc, these people would just be wandering around the city. if you are going to send them somewhere, you know, give them the means. sort out the means before you just dump them. >> so migrants when they

arrived, they must haveiented t. and it sounds as though they were misled and lied to. so what state are they in when they arrive and do they have any idea what is going on? >> some do, some don't. my lead in new york city, team tlc, tells me that some of the buses, the people come off looking pretty together and pretty oriented to what is going on. and some buses, they look disheveled and very tired, extremely hungry. so it really depends on who is sending them off from where. it is a mixed bag. and some of them intend to come to new york. some do not. because their hearings are scheduled in different states far away. and we've had to reticket people, a lot of people, which has cost us a lot of money. and we only operate on funding. >> some people would say, you knee, c

know, certainly the governors are making the argument, maybe not sincerely, but they would say maybe they are better off in these big democratic cities where they get plenty of support. >> they are not getting plenty of support from the cities. that is a fallacy. the cities are not prepared for this. new york city did some organizing with us, but now they have stepped back and put the mayor's office of immigrant affairs, you know, we organize some things with them, but now they have stepped back and turned it over to the emergency management which is, you know -- we're really the ones doing the work on the ground. it is the nonprofits. >> and you can hear more from that interview coming up in the next hour of cnn news room. ♪ it is just after 9:00 on a very chilly morning in london, the third full day of lying in

state for the late queen elizabeth. public viewing of the queen's coffin set to end in less than 48 hour, hundreds of thousands of people bundled up against the cold have converged on central london to pay their final respects. the miles long queue has been at or near capacity for many hours with wait times up to a full day. later today some near the front may actually witness the queen's eight grandchildren hold their silent vigil at her coffin. the queen's fewer children, king charles, princess anne oig, prince andrew and prince edward held their silent vigil on friday. and we've been keeping tabs on the government's live tracker of people waiting to get into westminster hall and the site continues to warn people not to join the queue at this time, the

wait is currently so long that people at the back of the line may not get to view the coffin until sometimes tomorrow. nada bashir has been speaking to people. i'm surprised how patient most people have been considering that they have been there waiting for hours and hours. what is the mood there? >> reporter: yes, we've been at the queue for three nights in a row and every time we've spoken to anybody, they have been upbeat and they are going to stay in the queue regardless of how long it may take. this is an historic moment and so important for the people in this queue to have that opportunity to pay their respects to the late queen. and we've been speaking to people, and it is a lot colder than it has been previous nights, and the queue has been a lot longer. first night, it was moving quite quickly. and it has slowed down somewhat because of the shear number that have come up over the weekend to

take part in the long line to pay their respects. as you mentioned, the authorities have been forced to stagger those queues often to stop them for periods of time in order to ensure that we're not seeing those spilling out beyond the park which is the end part. and in the last few moments it has reopened. i have to say the people that we've been speaking to are extremely upbeat, they have made friends along the way despite the cold weather, despite not being able to bring a lot of supplies with them because there are stringent security checks in place. more than 1,000 volunteers, stewards and metropolitan police officers dotted around, about 30 first aid tents and ambulance services around to make sure that the people in the queues are safe and being protected. i was speaking to one person who has been in the queue all night, how long have you been in the

queue for? >> over ten hours. over ten hours. and for the ladiy of our nation our most respect. the inspiration for many free speaking people of the world. she fought for all the rights of the individuals. and so it is an honor to walk here and pay my respects to her. >> reporter: and just how important is it for you to have that opportunity? because of course there will be a lot of people who will be watching on tv but unable to make it over here. >> it is a once in a lifetime moment. and you've got to take it while it is here because it will never come again. and something that can never be taken away from the people paying this homage and respect to our queen elizabeth. and we can pass it on to generations, pass her memory on to grandchildren and their grandc

grandchildren, this moment of this event. >> reporter: good luck with the rest of the queue. and we're just across the river from westminster palace where the queen is still lying in state and will remain until early monday morning. and for many people we've been speaking to, a moment of history that they want to be a part of, families with their children, even small children overnight despite the cold because it is something that they want them to remember in future. kim. >> yeah, appreciate you bringing those man on the street perspectives there. nada bashir, thanks so much. investigations are under way after a discovery of a mass burial site in ukraine. and now ukraine says it is becoming even clearer that something horrific happened there. that is ahead. plus dangerous moves in russia pushing back against president putin over his failures in ukraine while some local leaders see a new opening for the anti-putin camp. stay with us. or more - can be overwhelming.

skrcnn is learning that the united nations will get involved after a discovery of a mass xwr grave in izium. and the white house called the discovery horrifying and repugnant while ukraine now says some of the bodies recover the show signs of torture. >> translator: there is clear evidence of torture, humiliating treatment and people, moreover there is evidence that russian soldiers whose positions were not far from this place were shot at and buried just for fun. the world must react to all of this. russia has repeated in izium what it did in bucha and now we've just begun to learn the full truth of what has happened about. >> zelenskyy repeated his call to declare russia a state sponsor of terrorism. the site was discovered after ukraine military offensive in the kharkiv region.

i spoke with woman who leads the centers in ukraine and i asked her about that discovery and here is what she said. >> russia killing civilians in occupied territories. and we see the same pattern in kyiv and other regions where russians were and now we are documenting the same war crimes on these territories. six torture chambers was found. >> and it is just really sad to see this. one image a was particularly haunting, a body wearing a bracelet with colors of the ukrainian flag. we've chosen not to show the picture. and i know for you and other

ukrainians, it was poignant. >> i wear the same bracelet and i want to say it doesn't matter what color it is because like each people who love their country can feel the same when you will be killed only because you love your country. >> now, we don't know exactly what happened here. we know that the u.n. will investigate. do you have any insight into how investigators will determine whether war crimes have been committed here and what role you want from intern national organizations in this investigation? >> this occupation lasted for a half of year. so we have to provide a forensic expertise and understand what was cause of each death. and whether or not people who were dead were tortured or subjected to sexual violence before their deaths. and so it is very important work

and we will see the result. but we spoke with locals locals learned about the deaths of civilians which was made by russians. >> meanwhile the united states says its military aid to ukraine will keep coming. john kirby spoke with cnn on friday. here he is. >> we just announced again another $600 million last night, we're doing everything we can to make sure that the ukrainians can succeed on the battlefield so that when it comes to a time at the negotiating table, mr. zelenskyy can also succeed in negotiations. both sides have said publicly they are not willing to sit down right now and we understand that. and that is why we'll continue to support ukrainian armed forces for as long as it takes. >> ooiukraine has routed russia troops from of the northeast

this month reportedly liberating some 6,000 kilometers. president biden was asked what if putin responds by using chemical or nuclear weapons and biden said the u.s. responses in his words would be consequential and he added this. >> don't. don't. don't. it would change the face of war unlike anything since world war ii. >> ukraine's military successes have led to something that can be risky business in russia. political pushback against president putin. and as matthew chance reports, that includes calls for putin to resign. ♪ >> reporter: ukraine's gain set to dramatic music. russia's stunning military setbacks stirring broad public

criticism at home with shocked military hardliners voicing anger and dozens of elected local russian politicians too are signing an official petition demanding president putin be impeached. russians have offered to pay his fines for speaking out even if the kremlin tries to put him in jail. >> obviously russian army is being destroyed right now. so we lose people, we'll lose weapons, and we'll lose our ability to defend. >> reporter: and that fact that the russian army is suffering these setbacks, that is fueling anger, isn't it, not just amongst liberal aspects of russian society, but also think nos hard liners as well. they are furious. >> yeah, actually pro war activities now really feel

betrayed. and there is a point where both liberal group of people and pro war group of people can have the same goal. >> reporter: unlike the early anti-war protestors in moscow back in february, hard liners complain of russia being too soft on ukraine and sending woefully underprepared troops into battle. but it is the heavy price russia is paying where there may be common cause. >> hi, my name is -- >> reporter: and why another russian consular is calling for putin to resign because she says he is depriving russians of a future. >> our russians become poor, they are not welcome anywhere. and there is less of facilities

and supplies. and i don't know what future can be for the country which is isolated. >> you can talk to me about what impact that lack of a future is having on people that you speak to? >> oh, well, it is quite depressive now, very depressive atmosphere in russia and the frustration feeling fear, anger, shame. >> reporter: the kremlin insists the mood of the people is still with the russian president. the growing criticism at home and abroad may at least threaten to take the swagger out of putin's step. matthew chance, cnn, london. president biden has met with the families of two high profile americans detained in russia. according to the white house biden said he is working hard to secure the release both of back star brittney griner and former u.s. marine paul whalen. but the u.s. still hasn't had a

breakthrough after months of negotiations. brian todd reports. requires pr >> reporter: president biden's first ever face-to-face meeting with the families, a move white house officials say it was intended to let the families now xw griner and whalen remain front of mind. and they say they have not had a serious response back from the kremlin. >> russia should take this offer. >> reporter: and sources have told cnn the white house has offered viktor bout in exchange for the releases of griner and whalen, but one administration official tells cnn the u.s. has gotten a repeated demand back from the putin regime for something the u.s. is incapable of delivering on. >> russians are masters at asking us to do things that we cannot do. something where they think the u.s. controls something that they don't 't control.

>> reporter: meanwhile cnn has learned bill richardson was in moscow this week meeting with leadership. and expressing open frustration that richardson apparently has been working outside official channels. >> our message is that private citizens should not be in moscow at all right now. and that private citizens cannot negotiate on behalf of the united states government. >> reporter: griner detained by the russians in february for carrying cannabis oil in her luggage pleaded guilty to drug charges but said that she accidentally packed the drugs. whalen has been held for more than three years on espionage charges that he has denied. could the ukraine war factor into their fates? >> russians are back on their heels, they are looking very weak, putin is looking weak domestically. he may have an additional incentive to making a deal right now. >> reporter: analysts say they are certain there is more going on behind the scenes in the negotiations than anyone in the administration is letting on.

and that it is possible that bill richardson may not be working quite as independently as it seems. richard richardson and his team have not commented on his trip to russia. brian todd, cnn, washington. much more to come on cnn's continuing coverage of the death of queen elizabeth, including my conversation with an expert about the security preparations under way for her funeral. plus the u.s. justice department is appealing a district court decision about documents seized last month from trump's mar-a-lago estate. we'll have that story straight ahead. stay with us. they use stamps.com all the services of the post office only cheaper get a 4-4-week trial plus postage and a digital scale go to stamps.com/tv and nenever go to the post office again.

welcome back. i'm kim brunhuber. this is "cnn newsroom." central london is filled with people hoping to pay their final respects to the late queen elizabeth this hour. authorities have shut down the miles long queue multiple times, it has largely remained at or near capacity. and in the coming hours the queen's eight grandchildren will hold a vigil around her coffin. authorities say more than 2,000 officers will be deployed in windsor for the queen's burial and london police say there will be a huge presence in the city monday. highly visible officers will line many parts of the funeral group. and last hour i spoke about the many security challenges with a security expert will gettys. here he is. >> i don't think that we've ever seen anything quite as large and quite as multifaceted as what we're seeing right now and have

done over this week right up until obviously the funeral beginning of next. best way to perhaps compare it would be to combine the 2012 olympics, all the royal weddings, london marathon and many other events all on particularly a week and what is particularly challenging for the authorities, and there are many different strands from the security services, mi-5, secret intelligence services respect, mi-6, monitoring the cellular traffic and police holding the prime among the palace. and that includes many other stewards and anybody walking through london or has seen some of the recent footage will see that on every day, there are 10,000 police officers deployed and in addition in support to that about 1500 military personnel as well. we are under the world's spotlight right now. and all of those people working all those different agencies know we need to get it right. >> just some extreme situations

that they have to deal with. one of them being all the foreign dignitaries who will be arriving. i think some 70 of them each with their own needs, with their own specifications. how do you mesh and coordinate their security demands with the existing infrastructure? >> as you can probably imagine, incredibly difficult. i've looked after a number of former heads of state and quite often at a particular gathering it will only be perhaps for a day or two. with this immense number of heads of state and former heads of state, most will have to fall within the directions of the metropolitan police, but there are three exceptions to that rule. one being president biden, the emperor of japan and also the premier of israel who have been afforded because of the heightened potential threat levels with their own ability to utilize their own security

teams. obviously in president biden's case, his secret service detail. but everyone else has to fall within the security bubble that the metropolitan police will provide and that involves many of them traveling together in the management to the funeral ceremony on monday, and that will be quite a complex project. but by moving them in all mini buses together and we've seen it before with harry and meghan's wedding and other occasions, it is a way to insulate and control obviously the security of those heads of state until they have left the country. ♪ and coverage of the queen's funeral begins on monday right here on cnn at 6:00 a.m. in new york, 11:00 in the morning in london. the u.s. justice department is asking an appeals court to intervene in the dispute over materials seized at former president trump's mar-a-lago estate. the request filed friday night asks the court of appeals to

exclude classified documents from a special master's assessment and to allow the criminal investigation to proceed. now, this as a source tells cnn that former trump official assured the national archives that the boxes at mar-a-lago contained only newspaper clippings. jessica sthichneider has more. >> reporter: justice department filing their appeal, but they are actually asking for limited relief. they are telling court they want really just two things that judge cannon refused to give them when she ruled thursday night. first they want to be allowed to continue their criminal investigation into classified documents unimpeded. that means that they want to resume using those 100 classified documents that judge cannon has said that they can no longer use, whether it is in grand jury proceedings or with witnesses. and so they want to finally be able to use that. they are asking the 11th circuit for that. plus doj is saying they shouldn't have to turn over that classified material to trump's

legal team or even a special master. they are saying that the lower court judge was just wrong to order the disclosure of some of highly sensitive material in the midst of this ongoing investigation. and on a broader scale in this filing, doj is saying that courts shouldn't be stepping in on this issue because all of the documents at issue here they say belong to the government. they write, saying allowing the government to use and review the records bearing classification markings for criminal investigative purposes would not cause any injury to plaintiff, that being donald trump. plaintiff has no property or other legal interest in those records. plaintiff has no recognizable harm for merely allowing investigators to continue to review and use the same subset of the seized records. they continue to and say that iy courts have exercised great caution before interfering with

criminal investigations. and so the doj really criticizing the lower court judge for even stepping in here. now we'll see how quickly the 11th circuit acts. it will likely be a panel of three judges. and then the special master review of documents, that is just beginning. in fact judge raymond dearie who has been named special master, he has scheduled a hearing tuesday at 2:00 p.m. to go over how scheduling will work since of course the clock is already ticking. the judge has said he has to review 11,000 of those documents by november 30. jessica schneider, cnn, washington. right wing media has been peppering the fbi with harsh criticism ever since the raid on mar-a-lago including allegationses agency harbors political bias. but the fbi is fiercely nonpartisan and apolitical and a senen fbi agent has issued a rae

defense. it reads in part, the work of special agents is difficult, relentless and consuming. also completely nonpartisan. over my 23 year career as an agent, i've seen criticism come from both sides however in the past month we've heard extreme and irresponsible attacks. allegations that the fbi is somehow driven by political bias are simply untrue, these attacks particularly coming from political leaders could have real implications for the safety of agents and others. the fbi says that it is assisting ride sharing company uber in investigating an alleged hack of the company's network. a hacker recently shared supposed proof with journalists that uber's internal systems had been hacked but the company says there is no evidence any sensitive customer information was accessed and all of uber's business units remain operational. uber has been successfully targeted by hackers in the past costing it large sums of money.

in lebanon, a growing number of people have been holding up banks to try to access their frozen savings. authorities have reported at least accept incidents since wednesday including five on friday alone. officials say they will try to beef up security to stop the recent spate of holdups. many have been locked out of their savings since an economic crisis three years ago. a young woman has died from

the morality police. authorities say she suffered a heart attack, but her family questions that. jomana karedsheh is joining us with more. what are we learning about her death? >> reporter: well, as you mentioned there, we're getting two versions of events, what the authorities are trying to put forward as her dying of national custodies while in the custody of the morality police. you've got her family, you have opposition members, you've got international human rights organizations raising questions about this. and the circumstances of her death. now, look, what we understand happened according to activists who spoke to the family, her family had traveled to tehran from iran's kurdistan region, they were there to visit relatives, they were stopped by the morality police. and that is the authorities who are tasked with enforcing the country's strict islamic dress code including the compulsory

head scarf. according to her family, the morality police forced her into the car as they were taking her away, her brother tried to intervene but she was told that she was being taken to a police station for an hour of reeducation as they described it. so her brother reportedly saying that is the last time he saw her awake he followed her to the police station, waited outside, and a couple hours later an ambulance discreetly pulledtook. her family was told that she had a heart attack or stroke in the presence of other people. and so tehran police on thursday confirmed that she was in a coma, saying that she had a heart attack. on friday, iranian state tv can release the cctv video that they say shows her while she was in this reeducation center as they describe it. now, we can't verified the identity of the woman in the

video, but it is an edited video. the time of day changes in this video. and what they say it shows is her walking in, sitting down, talking to people, and then she gets up and she speaks to a woman who they identify as a quote/unquote expert. and the expert is basically touching her clothes, and then we see her collapsing and falling to the ground. state tv basically saying she appeared unwell and she fell into a coma. now, we can't verified any of that video or what we are really seeing there, but it does appear to be an edited video the iranian president raisi has ordered an investigation into her death. we know this morning we've heard from iranian officials that an autopsy has been performed and that they will release the results of this autopsy. but i can tell you, there is a lot of skepticism amongst iranian opposition members and

many international human rights organizations that this iranian regime will deliver a credible investigation. >> all right. we'll keep following that story. jomana karedsheh in istanbul, thanks so much. and right now alaska is being hit by possibly the strongest storm in more than a decade. so we'll go live to the weather center right after the break. stay with us. me... one sore throat. but she had enough. she took mucinex instasoothe sore throat lozenges. show your sore throat who's boss. mucinex instasoothe. works in seconds, lasts for hours.

unicef officials say an estimated 16 million children have been impacted by super floods in pakistan. aid agencies are appealing for help warning that survivors of the historic flooding are now facing a new threat, diseases an infections linked to the going o -- the ongoing disaster. more from islamabad. >> reporter: what started off as a summer of deadly floods has become a situation of rising deadly diseases in the flood ravaged regions. we're seeing figures coming from the provinces of rising deny gi

o dengue and malaria and other cases. there is no public sanitation, there is an issue of women being out there in the open, pregnant women, there is data that 650,000 pregnant women have been affected and displaced by these floods. woe we've had ngos putting out calls for gynecologists to come out and volunteer in aid of these women. the numbers of the dead have increased while the flooding waters recede. we're also seeing about the numbers of 536 children being killed since june. hundreds and thousands of more children have been affected. schools are shut in those parts of the country where the floods have been worst. there is also a situation where climate change experts have come out and slammed western countries for not giving enough aid to pakistan. we saw the uk initially just give about 1.5 million pounds,

which is pakistan part of the common wealth, that has now increased to 15 million pounds. the u.s. has given 30 million usk, china about 42 million. there have been aid flights coming in, but that is simply not enough to deal with the kind of historic flooding that has faebtsed affected pack is an. stand. and while we see food shortages and rising temperatures, we continue to see how pakistan will manage to get itself out of the damage called by the natural calamity. parts of alaska will be battered by the strongest storm in more than a decade. and some areas along the coast may experience the worst flooding in nearly 50 years. the storm is what is left of a typhoon. and flood warnings and high winds are in effect.

let's derek van dam. sounds like a very powerful storm. take us through what folks can expect. >> not only powerful but gigantic. if you are looking at the satellite imagery, it took three hours for the sun to fully set on the circumference of this storm. incredible. there is the remnants of the typhoon. as kim mentioned, this could end up being one of the more powerful systems to make its way across the bering sea strait within the past decade. and worst flooding within the past 50 years. a buoy has already recorded hurricane force wind gusts, that is in excess of 74 miles per hour, and a wave height in excess of 50 feet. it is dangerous and it is happening right now. this is the remnants of the typhoon as it became
