britain's longest serving monarch. right now the queen is lying in state at westminster hall, where mourners continue to file past her coffin to pay their respect. it's a scene that's played out around the clock since wednesday. but in less than two hours, the public viewing will come to a close. on sunday, people across britain paused for a moment of silence and reflection this her honor. >> a moment to pay tribute the

day before the queen's funeral. today politicians public and faith leaders from around the world are monks those who will be attending the service. cnn's max foster now with more on how the queen is being honored and remembered. >> u.s. presidents joe biden visited westminster hall on sunday, joining other world leaders paying tribute to queen elizabeth ii. more than a monarch, biden said on news of her death. she defined an era. >> to all the people of england and all the people of the united kingdom, our hearts go out to you. and you were fortunate to have had her for 70 years. we all were. the world's better for her. >> presidents, prime ministers, kings, queen, sultan, representing nearly 200 countries and territories expected to attend the funeral, many of whom joined a reception at buckingham palace on sunday hosted by the new king. >> the reception hosted at the

palace tonight is one of the greatest meetings of world leaders we will ever see. this really reflects the queen's work on the world stage, traveling around the world 42 times, 122 country, hosting state visits when she retired from travel. >> reporter: charles met with overseas realms earlier in the day, including tuvalu, papua and new guinea. and in all cases offers of condolence for a son's loss. on the eve of the funeral, the government advised the public against traveling to join the queue to see the coffin. the world marvelled at the patience of those thousands upon thousands waiting in lion for a dozen hours or more, stitching a thread in the national tapestry. in an interview for the bbc recorded before the queen's death r revealed before the king's death, the new queen consort said she can't remember anyone

but queen elizabeth being on the throne. >> she has those wonderful eyes that when they smile lights up the whole face. i'll always remember that smile. her smile is unforgettable. >> reporter: her majesty's will be months and years of planning and preparation. the passion of a beloved mother, grandmother and beloved monarch. max foster, cnn, buckingham palace, london. >> well, it is 5:00 in the morning, or just afterwards here on monday, september 19th. it's a busy day. cnn correspondents following all of the developments for you. scott mclean is here for you in london. nina dos santos is outside buckingham palace. and let's begin with you, scott. you're with those getting the very last chance to pay their respects. what's the mood like there?

>> hey, becky, that is absolutely right. and this almost seems like a national duty that a lot of people have been coming to carry out over the last 4 1/2 days. remember, that it was wednesday at 5:00 p.m. local time that this lineup actually opened formally for people to file past the coffin of queen elizabeth ii. and remember that some people, a handful of them had 20 two nights camping outside just to get the chance. so let me set the scene for you here. so this is the palace of westminster, the house of parliament. just around the corner there is westminster hall. that's where the queen's body is lying in state. and what you see here, the people just below the tower, these are the last of the people who are waiting in the lines. so you can see it snakes towards the river thames which we are along right now. and then it comes along this way, where it sort of snakes back and forth for some time. either late last night or early this morning. that would have cut off the line

so that no one else would be allowed in it. the last person to file past the coffin is somewhere back in this direction. just wondering how long have you been in line for? what time did you join the queue at? >> so about half past 8:00. >> so 6 1/2 hours or so you've been here? >> a bit more, yeah. >> and how are you feeling now? >> tired. it's been a busy week. >> yeah. we're not there yet. is we don't know if we're going to make it. lots of stops and starts. i don't know if the last person will get in. >> reporter: why was it so important for you to be here? where have you come from? >> i've come from surrey. i don't know. it's called me all week. this is the only day i had off from work. i felt like i needed to come and say goodbye. >> reporter: can you tell me about what the atmosphere has been like in the line? >> yeah, jolly, and chatty. apart from the last bit. we're all getting tired. >> reporter: you've made some friends. >> yeah. >> reporter: oh, you can't know each other before? >> yeah. >> i guess you spend six, seven

hours in line with someone you get to know them well. thank you, guys. i appreciate it. i'm wondering why it was so important to be here? >> apparently i was brought here as a child, as a baby in arms by my father for the coronation, yes. for the queen's coronation. >> you were here for the coronation. i don't look hold enough to have been here for the coronation? >> i was 8 months old at the time. >> we're going get the name of your eye cream later so you can get it to me. guys, how you making out here? how you feeling right now? >> tired. very tired. >> tired now. the worst is over. we're there, aren't we? we're practically there. at least one's a trooper. she has done so well. >> how old is she? >> she's 8. >> reporter: 8 years old. wow. becky, people from all ages, all areas. we've met people from all cray yos grenade, from scotland, wales. start canada, the united states, south africa, the list goes on and on. in about an hour and 20 minutes or so, in theory, the last

person should file past the could have been. people have been given numbered wristbands here. the very first ones that were given out on wednesday had single digits. the first american to go in, his wristband said 12. the wristbands that these folks have on right now, they say 241,000. becky? >> wow. that's unbelievable, isn't it? well, i know that the queue was finally closed between sort of 8:30 and 10:00 p.m. last night. and it is, as i say, just after 5:00 in the morning now. scott mclean, thank you. well, security in london is at its highest level in memory as dozens of world leaders gather for the queen's funeral. you can see preparations happening at buckingham palace on sunday where workers handled scaffolding. and in a few hours, the queen's coffin will leave westminster hall, carried on the same state

gun carriage that was used for the funeral of her father, king george vi. she will be taken to westminster abbey where an estimated 2,000 people will be in attendance for her funeral service. well, for more i'm joined by nina dos santos at buckingham palace. we know this is a huge security effort. do we have any idea about the size of the crowds of mourners expected today? and what are authorities doing to ensure everybody's safety? >> well, just as we speak, becky, we won't be able to see this, but we've got police officers just heading right behind our cameras. we speak with the torch lights. you can see them behind me. they've been inspecting every single inch, including this huge media village that has sprung up to cover the event, all of the camera equipment. they're taking no chances. anecdotally in the last 15 minutes, we've had all of our

equipment checked that gives you an idea how seriously they're taking this event. 10,000 extra officers as we've been reporting have been deployed from all over the country, even one-half thousand members of the army. it's not just king charles iii who they have to protect who has been in buckingham palace the past few days. it is also hundreds of foreign dignitaries arriving. we saw a number of them here at a reception hosted by the king yesterday evening. and obviously, they will be arriving at westminster abbey at about 8:00 a.m. that's when the doors open for these foreign dignitaries to start taking their seats. some of them might be allowed to travel in their own motorcades like for instance, the president of the united states, joe biden, who has been here now since yesterday, of course, where he attended that reception and arrived in his motorcade. we've also seen interesting scenes over the last day or so of foreign dignitaries, leader, even members of foreign royal families having to take the bus in the blacked out buses that

entered buckingham palace for this reception yesterday evening. in terms of the logistics of what is going toe happen, this is such a tightly choreographed event as well, they're not taking any chances on that either. scott was just reporting that line outside westminster hall will soon close. and less than an hour and a half, as i said at 8:00 a.m., foreign dignitaries and local members of charities who have been invited, royals, members of the close family will start taking their seats at westminster abbey. and the queen's coffin will be remove where it is lying in state. it will be loaded on to the gun carriage which is 123 years old, originally commissioned for queen victoria's funeral. remember, the last very long serving impactful queen that this country has had before queen elizabeth ii. and then it will be pulled by 98 sailors of the royal navy before eventually arriving at westminster abbey. there will be a service, which will last for around about an

hour. leading that funeral procession of course will be king charles iii and his three siblings as well as grandchildren. when the ceremony ends, the service ends at westminster abbey, there will be a national two-minute silence of mourning. and then the rest of the funeral procession will continue to high park corner before the coffin is placed inside a hearse with members of the royal family watching and it is driven up to windsor. becky? >> nina dos santos is outside buckingham palace. prince george and princess charlotte, william and kate's children will join the family today for the formal procession through westminster abbey ahead of what will be an intensely personal service. nina dos santos there. the funeral today expected to be watched or expected to be the most watched event in television history. the queen's final journey will

be to one of the monarchy's oldest castles where people have been camping out to witness this historic procession. we'll have a live report from windsor in just a few moment s. ♪ my name is austin james. as a musician living with diabetes, fingersticks c can be a real challenge. that's why i use the freeeestyle libre 2 syste. with a painless, one-second scan i know my glucose numberers without fingersticks. now i'm managing my diabetes better and i've lowered my a1c from 8.2 to 6.7. take the mystery out of managing your diabetes and lower your a1c. now you know. try it for free at freestylelibre.us (man 1) oh, it looks like we're in a screen saver.

in the queen george vi memorial chapel which lies within st. george's chapel at windsor. the coffin phillip will be moved to be alongside her. now that the ceremony is expected to be an intimate affair for the royal family and those very close to them, what can we expect? >> absolutely, becky. well, the first service held at westminster abbey is expected to be much more of a state affair. this will be somewhat more intimate, more personal. this was an estate that was deeply dear to the queen, and place where she spent much of her time later on in life. this is the very same place where her prince husband was buried in april of last year. this is a deeply personal affair

for the royal family. the second service will be held here. we're expecting to see the queen's coffin as you heard earlier in nina's reporting carried in a procession through london before it is driven here to windsor. now at this second service that is in george's chapel just behind me, we're expecting around 800 people in attendance. and that will include not only the members of the royal family, but also members of the queen's household, past and present, and also personal staff from across the queen's estates. and this will be a personal farewell. there will be nods to the queen's family. we're expecting hymns that were sung at prince philip's funeral in april of last year and players read at the queen's father's funeral in 1962, and as that committal service comes to an end we will see the queen's coffin being lowered down into the royal vault just below this chapel behind me. but it's only in the evening that -- well we won't see, but there will be the personal

burial of the queen, the family affair that won't be viewed by the public. it will be attended by close members of the family. that will be the queen's final resting place conducted once again by the dean of windsor. and of course as you mentioned there, she will be buried alongside her parents and the late prince philip, the duke of edinburgh, whoa will be moved to be buried alongside the queen. this is a place that was very much loved by the queen and the close members of the royal family. and i have to say many people who live here in windsor, who spent spend a lot of time here hold a place dear to them for its connection to the royal family. people already camping out on the streets for their chance to perhaps see members of the royal family arriving at windsor castle. the streets have been closed. as you heard in nina's reporting, this is a very tight security operation. we've seen a significant police presence inspecting the streets. there is several volunteers and stewards much as you see in central london right now. this will be a large scale

police operation for the area. and there will be viewing points for members of the public to be able to watch the funeral, which of course is going to be broadcast today live. so this is quite a large scale event for many people here. but it is also very deeply personal event, and a somber event for those who may have become accustomed to seeing members of the royal family spending much of their time here in windsor. becky? >> nadia is in wind store. thank you very much indeed. queen elizabeth traveled a lot. she visited 118 countries. that's roughly 60% of the world's nations. and when you rack up the number of miles that queen elizabeth traveled, she completed the equivalent of 42 tours around the globe. one of those countries was jordan, and queen rani of jordan, along with her husband king abdullah is one of the many dignitaries from around the

world attending the late monarch's funeral today. i had the opportunity to speak to her about the remarkable life and legacy of queen elizabeth ii. >> the first time i met the queen, i think i was just a few months into my role. and she was quite sensitive to the fact that i was new. and she could tell that i wasn't too sure of myself. and i did ask her, you know, of her advice. and she told me how important it is always to be there, to have that sense of duty and discipline, to pay attention to the little details. and i've always taken her advice very seriously. to me, she was public service personified. she is a woman who pledged her life to the service of her people. and for 70 years never once fell short of that promise. and i think today she was the queen of england, but she is also symbolically the queen of the world. she means something to all of us. and no matter who you are, you

feel a sense of affinity and closeness to her. >> you've been struck by the atmosphere in the crowds and the british public and those from around the world who have taken the opportunity to come here. just this sort of coming together. >> look, it's been a rough couple of years for the uk, you know. trying to negotiate a deal with europe post brexit, a pandemic, a cost of living, inflation, it has been tough. but i've never sensed the sense of togetherness that i feel today in the uk. so she was a unifying force in her -- during her lifetime, but she is also unifying in her passing. today she reminded people of what it means to be british. she gave everybody a sense of perspective. it's been so heartening to see how everybody has come together. politicians from all sides have sort of closed ranks around their new king. and today we mourn the life, but

we also celebrate the life. and we celebrate the start of a new chapter for this country. and i'm very optimistic. >> how important is this royal family to the hashemites? >> the relationship goes back several decades and spans several generations. the king his majest hussein attended to the throne in 1952 and enjoyed nearly 50 years of a close friendship. and my husband, king abdullah inherited and cherished this relationship. he was also very fond of her imagine jest city, as was i. it's impossible not to be. and we have a very close relationship with his majesty. and the queen conkonconsort cam. and my son now is very close with prince william. it's a relationship that goes through generations and one that we really hold close because it's based on common values. my husband, as you know, has served in the british army as

well, and my son also graduated from sandhurst. it's multifaceted and goes back a very long way. >> her majesty's reign was during a period where the end of colonialism was seen. and there is a respect for the british monarchy intertwined with some issues that came from that era. how do you see the relationship developing going forward? >> her majesty was always led by principle and was willing to change and modify policies as she saw fit. and so i think people understand that where the monarch stands today is very different these issues. every rear has its own issues. moving forward, his majesty has a deep understanding of our region, a deep respect. >> queen rania, he also has a deep respect for and interest in islam, which i think is really

important as we consider the relationship that the british monarch has with the middle eastern and wider region, gulf region going forward. >> absolutely. because he is a very thoughtful person. he's somebody who knows things and studies things deeply. so when he deals with the muslim world, he deals with a sense of nuance and a sense of experience and knowledge. so he knows the region very, very well and really knows how to navigate. he is a very wise man. i have no doubt in my mind how much he will enhance relation, not just with our part of the world, but with every part of the world. >> queen rania of jordan speaking to me earlier. well, still ahead, a lot more ahead on the queen's funeral. we'll discuss the historical significance of this day as well as the impact that the queen has had worldwide. more on that after this.

later today. and this is how british media are portraying the upcoming ceremonies. some of the local newspaper headlines reading final farewell and silence reigns. the state funeral will be steeped in royal tradition, honoring the monarch's long reign and service. it's been carefully planned for years and will cap off almost ten days of public memorials. all week long, we've seen thousands of people queuing for hours, hoping to see her majesty lying in state at westminster hall before that opportunity closes in the next 90 minutes or so. joining me now to discuss the queen's legacy and the significance of this day is writer and broadcaster. it's fantastic to have you with us. you've been with us now for some days over this period. i think you and i are from london. and there is a sense of

stillness and silence to this city that i simply have never known. it is quite a remarkable feeling. the streets will be packed later on today, as we consider this moment in time. your reflection. >> it's been such a strange week. and as a born and bred londoner, what i love is this is a city with centuries of history. not just 19th century, but going back the medieval period and beyond, and yet at the same time it's sort of grifters and grafters. you have 50% of people steadily getting on with it. it's a very queenly spirit. i'm going the get up in the day and get on with it. and then the whimsy, the queue, the legendary queue and people actually making friends in it. they're not just mourning in sorrow, but they're sort of remembering with a sense i want to be a part of this. and then you the uncanniness of all of the areas around westminster and the palaces. beautiful old bridges, pimasing

together. i went into town yesterday away from my professional capacity, just to see what it was like. and people are drawn to the center of town like a magnet. if you ask someone why you here, they can't quite tell you. and yet there was a sense of festivity and positivity in the air. a feeling that we haven't had for a while. people are looking ahead to a darker autumn and winter. but don't forget, we've come out of a pandemic. so this is a feeling of look, let's just reach a high point and gain some perspective here. >> it's remarkable. and if the statistics or the authorities are to be believed, there could be as many as a million mourners around this area behind us later on today. i want to talk a little bit more about westminster abbey. we've got a photo released by the abbey of the company of ringers, who will be sounding the abbey's bells before and after the funeral today. these guys have been practicing

for this. they'll have known about it. and at least in planning for years now. but this is another example of people coming together behind the scenes to ensure that this is a real moment in time. >> i love this shot of these men in their shirt-sleeves. what are they doing? they're getting down to work. so what happens over the next few hours, the next 12 hours really is the culmination of not just months, but years of practice. this is all going to go seamlessly. and i know it will, because it's been practiced time and time again. probably practiced at midnight or 1:00 a.m. or even now. i don't believe that even one of the foreign dignitaries who has been invited is sleeping. i think they're already up and full of anticipation, getting ready. all the bell-ringers are sort of going over their notes in their heads because they know that not only 500 dignitaries and 2,000 guests, but billions of eyeballs all over the world are looking for us as londoners to bring it.

what do we bring? we bring ceremony, fun, quirkiness, history. all of the seriousness, but all of the sense of ceremony and enjoyment bundled up together with a sense of sobriety and mourning and respectful remembrance, because we're trying to give people something to remember. >> those bells will toll 96 times. of course, that was the age of queen elizabeth ii when she passed away peacefully at balmoral a week ago on thursday. you talking about eyeballs. this is going to be one of the most watched ever televised events. thank you for the time. >> thank you. >> bidisha mamata. we'll have more from london in just a few moments. first let's get you some of our other news, and michael holmes has that at cnn center in atlanta. michael? >> all right, good to see you, becky. thanks for that. we're going take a quick break. when we come back, hurricane fiona hits puerto rico with a

all of puerto rico is in the dark after being hit by hurricane fiona on sunday. you hear there the strong howling winds, the torrential rain knocking out the territory's power grid, which might take days to get back online. and the national hurricane center is predicting life-threatening and catastrophic flooding. floodwaters were able to wash away an entire bridge in one town, captured in this video from social media. meteorologist pedram javaheri joins me now with more on where the store is going next.

pedram? >> it's been such a quiet season, a lot of people maybe caught off guard when you have the storms pick up in intensity and quickly in the past 24 hours. we have a storm system as such with fiona pushing past portions and making landfall in puerto rico. in the past seven or eight hours, category 1 equivalent as we move ashore. the system already producing gusts well over 100 miles per hour scattered about the region as well. as michael noted, 100% of the island without power. it speaks to the intensity of the storm as it moved ashort. incredible amount of rainfall on the back side of it as well. but notice next in line here, the island of hispaniola around the areas of the dominican republic not far from puntacana. we're watching this closely. and nearly the entirety of puerto rico underneath flood alerts a this hour given what is forecast to come down here. some models putting down as much as 10, maybe 15 inches of

rainfall. isolated totals pushing over 20 inches as well. this is very elevated terrain, but notice with the forecast guidances. within the next few hours we expect the system to make a sharp right turn. it will avoid much of the dense mountains of hispaniola where elevations get up to 10,000-feet high. pico duarte across the central dominican republic is the highest mountain across the caribbean rises to over 10,000 feet. but it kind of dodges the inland portions of the island, and quickly becomes a category 3 hurricane. the first of the season. potentially skirting past areas of the turks and caicos. and notice where it ends up. possibly late this week areas around bermuda are going to be on alert for an approaching system still quite a ways out. it is forecast the strengthen in the coming day. >> appreciate it. pedram, thank you so much. pedram javaheri there. more severe weather moving across southeast asia.

nearly 10 million people urged to evacuate as typhoon nanmado. the highest disaster alert as authorities warn of unprecedented storms and rainfall. meanwhile, in taiwan, state media reporting at least one person died from a 6.9 magnitude earthquake. the tremors so strong, they collapsed a bridge, twisting supports right out of the ground. officials report more than 100 aftershocks have been reported. blake essig joins me now from tokyo with more. we'll get the latest on the taiwan quake in a moment. but let's start with the impact of what was a huge storm in japan where you are. >> michael, super typhoon na nanmaol will go down as one of the strongest typhoons japan has ever seen with winds reaching 140 miles per hour per hour at its peak for days. experts have been warning about a potential large disaster on

kyushu island fueled by high winds, storm surge and torrential rain. the good news here, at least to this point the potential large scale disaster has been avoided. but typhoon number 14, as it's known here in japan, the country's 14th typhoon this year has caused problems. so far about 10 million people as you mentioned living in southern and western japan have been ordered to evacuate as a result of this violent storm. hundreds of thousands of homes across several prefectures are without power. and nhk, japan's public broadcaster reporting more than 40 people have been injured. it's also worth noting that hundreds of flights in the region today and yesterday have been canceled and bullet train service has also been suspended on several lines until at least later this afternoon. now this slow-moving yet powerful typhoon made landfall near kagoshima city on kyushu island on sunday. it is headed towards tokyo, bringing with it heavy rains, strong winds, which could of course cause landslides and flooding. that's a big concern now.

the super typhoon wasn't the only natural disaster to impact the region. as you mentioned on sunday, in taiwan, a strong 6.9 magnitude earthquake hit off the island's eastern coast. it's the largest earthquake taiwan has recorded so far this year. trains were derailed. buildings collapsed. and as of monday morning, nearly 700 people remain trapped on two separate mountains in the southeastern part of taiwan. taiwan officials say all of those people have been taken into local shelters and will be evacuated at some point today as authorities work to clear road blockage. and so far as a result of that earthquake, one person has died after being struck by a machine while working at a cement factory in nearly 150 people have been injured. >> already, blake, thank you so much for the updates there. blake essig in tokyo for us. >> thanks. now ukraine grappling with the grim aftermath of the retreat of russian forces in the country's east. the mayor of izyum says authority lets be exhuming

bodies for another two weeks. the city was under russian occupation for more than five months, and ukraine's defense ministry reports at least 440 unmarketed graves were found. meanwhile, ukrainian forces say they've seized control of a key river in the kharkiv region. this video shows a military vehicle using a pontoon bridge to cross the oskil river. president volodymyr zelenskyy says they're gearing up to deliberate more cities. >> translator: perhaps it seems to someone now that after a series of victories, we have a certain lull, but this is not a lull. this is preparation for this next sequence of words that are very important to us all and that definitely must be heard. >> kyiv accuses russian forces of committing more than 34,000 crimes of aggression and war crimes since the war started. this after ukrainian authorities say they found locations russian forces used as torture rooms.

jill dougherty is an adjunct professor at georgetown you've, a cnn contributor and former cnn mo moscow. up to 80,000 russian troops have been killed or wounded. you can't cover those numbers up forever. is the increasing body count getting through to people? what would happen if more russians knew how bad things are going in ukraine? >> you know, it's complicated, because you have to look at who is serving and who is dying. because i think the impression that a lot of people have is, you know, it's regular russian boys. well, some of them are. but a lot of them are what russians call contract soldiers. so these are really people who volunteered to serve. they get paid. they have contracts. and that's one group. and then also don't forget some of the people who are serving are from very poor areas of russia, places you may not have

even heard of, buriatzia, these are republics sometimes way out in siberia, very pure. and people serve because they need the money. so the effect, when you say well, what's the effect on average russians, it's really not quite as average, although there are average boys who are serving. but it's more complicated than that. plus, michael, it's been talked about, they do have people from prisons who are being taken to serve. >> yeah. and to that point, about what people are hearing, what are you hearing on russian state media? because i know you follow it. i've heard some commentators criticizing how the war is going. others urging dramatic escalation. i heard the other day a couple of commentators saying it's nato troops, american troops who are doing the fighting on the ground, which seems crazy. but what's the overall tenor and messaging, and has it changed?

>> i think it is more diffused right now. i really think this counter-offensive by the ukrainians have thrown all the cards into the air in a way. so you have people like those city councilors, both in st. petersburg and in moscow who have had petitions that putin should step down and the war should end. so that's one side of the sector. then the other side would be very rabid nationalists who say putin is weak and that he's not really doing enough, and that russia ought to basically destroy ukraine, and really take the fight to them. so it is kind of diffused. but i'd say the atmosphere is more tense i think in discussing what's going on in this war.

>> fascinating and great analysis as always. jill dougherty, good to see you. thank you so much. >> thank you, mike. still to come, becky will have a look back at the queen's love of sport and the olympic games, including her famous appearance with 007, james bond. the ioc president reflects on that and more, when we come back. -no. -no. when you decide to go to hawaii. aloha. turns out your beach people. i think we're beach people. whoa whoa, slow downwn boys. we know you love it. and did you know ththey like ceviche?? and best of all, the hotel has babysitters. so you have a date night. remember those? with amex, it's never a question of if vacation will actually feel like vacation. it's when. ♪
