11:00 pm
a very warm welcome to our viewers around the world. wherever you are watching you are more than welcome. i'm becky anderson in london where the time is 7:00 in the morning. and in just a matter of hours britain and the world will say a final farewell to queen elizabeth. her state funeral steeped in royal tradition and somber pageantry will mark the last day
11:01 pm
of national mourning for britain's longest serving monarch. well, the public viewing of the queen's coffin has now officially ended, and westminster hall is closed to the public as preparations begin for her funeral. over the last few days thousands have waited for hours in lines stretching several miles along the river thames just to pay their respects. well, in the hours ahead a procession will take the queen's coffin from westminster hall to westminster abbey where the funeral will take place. that service will be conducted by the dean of westminster. following the funeral the queen's coffin will be moved in a procession through central london to wellington arch where it'll be placed in the state hearse and travel on her final journey to windsor. from there a committal service will take place at st. george's chapel. well, cnn correspondents are following all of the
11:02 pm
developments for you. scott mcclain standing by in london where the final mourners have been waiting to pay their respects to the queen. nina del santos is live outside buckingham palace. let's start with you, scott. hundreds of thousands of people started their queue. it's a line of duty i guess back on wednesday at 5 p.m. that line has now finished. the queue is over, the hall is closed to the public. you've been speaking to people over the last few days. your reflections on what you've heard? >> yeah, line of duty is a pretty good way to describe it, becky. other people have been calling the queue which has now wrapped up the elizabeth line, not to be confused with the tube line that just opened in london in the last couple of months.
11:03 pm
it definitely was not necessarily somber in the line. it definitely wasn't celebratory either. i think the best way to describe it was almost like a national bonding experience where people spend 10, 12, 14 hours, however long it was getting to know people around them, forging new friendships and trying to keep yourself sane, warm, fed, and watered as best you possibly can as you creep toward the front of the line. people were given numbered wristbands when they first got into the line, and when i was here on wednesday before they had even opened the westminster hall to the public to view the queen lying in state they were giving them out in single digits, 1, 2, 3, et cetera. the first american to go in, for instance, i interviewed him. he had a wristband that said 12 on it. by the time we get into today these wrist bands were 243,000. just an enormous number of people who managed to file past
11:04 pm
the queen's coffin. and i actually spoke earlier with the very last woman in line. her name is christina. and believe it or not this was the second time she had been in the line. so she'd gone around once already, waited for 6, 7 hours, got in there around 1:30 in the morning, and then when she got out she figured that was a little too quick, so she walked back to the queue again and went in the second time and she was the last ern. her and her friend that she met in line they were the last two to view the queen's coffin lying in state, at least the last two members of the public. in fact, if you look over here they're still doing press interviews because there's so much attention. but we managed to speak to her earlier, and here's what she told us. >> everybody wants to come. i mean everybody wants to be there, and it doesn't matter how long it'll take them. they just want to go in there and show their respects.
11:05 pm
>> reporter: and it was remarkable. we also managed to speak with them briefly after they came out. and her friend was actually quite moved, quite emotional, and that's really not uncommon based on the people we spoke to just describing the atmosphere inside. just to give you a lay of the land here obviously parliament is just behind me. this is right in front of it. this is parliament square. you can see there's police, obviously uniformed officers. there's police in their ceremonial uniforms as well. the square itself is empty, but if you just look over to the right they have setup these barricades, and people are already lining up to catch any glimpse of the queen's coffin as it goes by. in fact, some people had been camped out here since yesterday. in fact, they just made an announcement not long ago that politely asked people to take down their tents so that other people could get into this line. that is how many people are here lining the streets. and a lot of the people, of course, becky, who are inside
11:06 pm
queuing for 10, 12, 14 hours to file past the queen's coffin are also going to be trying to find a place here on the street to see the procession go by after the funeral wraps up. >> well, in the queue they were united in mourning. they braved the cold. they waited patiently four hours to pay their respects. estimates of upwards a million people for the events of today. we haven't seen proceedings like this, of course, in london since 1965 and winston churchill's state funeral. scott mcclain is just outside the palace of westminster. 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. in a few hours from now the
11:07 pm
queen's coffin will leave westminster hall as scott reported carried on a state gun carriage. it's the same carriage that was used during the funeral for her father, king george vi, more than 70 years ago. that carriage was first used for the funeral of queen victoria back in 1901. it was also used for winston churchill's funeral in 1965. and you can see troops rehearsing with the carriage for the queen's funeral in this video. here's what a senior naval officer had to say. >> each of them felt a combination of huge personal pride at being involved and deep obligation to get this moment right. not just because we're going to be doing this in the eyes of the nation and the world but because, actually, this is the last act of the armed forces in recognition of her late majesty
11:08 pm
queen elizabeth ii. >> well, these plans have been years in the making. they are meticulous, the logistics, the security. quite overwhelming when you consider them from a layman's point of view but not for authorities, not for the military. i'm joined by nina del santos at buckingham palace with more. nina? >> thanks very much, becky. this is all part of a very sophisticated operation that has been as you said decades in the making here called operation london bridge. the death of a monarch and the period of mourning culminating in this state funeral. the logistics are enormous as you pointed out. as scott was saying about an estimated at least a quarter million people queuing up during that period of lying in state. 500 foreign dignitaries and their security needs and not least the u.s. president in town
11:09 pm
joe biden and the french leader emmanuel macron as well. but we also have thousands of people congregating upon the streets if not hundreds of thousands. i've been witnessing them from west london all the way lining the street before because eventually the queen's coffin will be transferred to a state hearse and people already lining the highways there outside of london as well to catch a glimpse of that. here in buckingham palace as you can see these are types of crowds that were gathering on sunday. we've got more recent images we can show you. i believe live of all the television cameras preparations to get the right spot, all the tens of thousands of people lining just the street that links buckingham palace with obviously the rest of the area. these are pictures we're showing you at the moment at were on sunday of that massive line that is now closed. but we have lots of people,
11:10 pm
various streets that link this essentially the royal precinct of london, buckingham palace with the district just a few streets away which culminates in the palacef westminster. and the royal family will be exiting the gates of buckingham palace about 3, 3 1/2 hours from now. lots of people will be desperate to see them either on their way to westminster abbey or the funeral procession. >> nina del santos outside buckingham palace. prince george and princess charlotte, william and kate's children will join the royal procession later ahead of what will be an intensely personal service at -- at windsor. well, king charles is once again expressing his gratitude for the messages of condolence since the death of his mother.
11:11 pm
in a statement the new monarch said he and his wife, camila, the queen consort have, quote, been moved beyond measure for the public outpouring of love and affection. he also said, quote, as we all prepare to say our last farewell i wanted simply to take this opportunity to say thank you to all those countless people who have been such a support and comfort to my family and myself in this time of grief. well, the monarch's message was released ahead of the queen's state funeral which begins in the coming hours. the queen's final journey will be to one of the monarch's oldest castles where people have been camping out to witness what will be a historic procession. we'll have a live report from windsor in just a few moments. plus remembering the queen as she marked her diamond jubilee. we'll get some insights from someone who worked on that momentous event.

11:16 pm
it's a quarter past 7:00 here in london. welcome back wherever you are watching in the world. queen elizabeth's coffin will be taken to windsor for a committal service after the state funeral in london this morning. some people camping out overnight perhaps hoping to catch a glimpse of the procession. we are expecting an intimate service there later today. with the details of what we can expect going forward. >> reporter: well, that's right. certainly won't be the grand state affair we'll set to see at westminster abbey later this morning. this will be slightly more intimate, more personal. we're expecting around 800 people to gather at st. george's chapel just behind including members of the royal family, of course, and also members of the royal household and the queen's personal staff across her
11:17 pm
estates past and present. that will be the service taking place after the queen's coffin arrives here following the procession later this afternoon. there will be a service giving a nod to the queen's personal life, her family life. as well as prayers read of the funeral of her father, king george vi, back in 1952. this really will be a personal affair for the family. this was an estate deeply loved by the queen. it's a place where she spent much of her time in her later life. and we've seen people gathering already down the streets of windsor waiting for that opportunity to catch a glimpse of the procession, to pay their final respects to the queen. the sun has just risen in the last hour, but we are already seeing people gathering on the streets, walking through now with camping chairs, with blankets to keep warm as they prepare for what is set to be a long day. we've heard from some of those actually already camping earlier this morning and overnight waiting for that opportunity.
11:18 pm
take a listen. >> she's just been amazing for 70 years, and i'm 57 and it's all i've ever known, a lot of people have ever known, and she's just given up her whole life to, you know, dedicate to her country, and she's been fantastic, and everyone's going to miss her. >> reporter: of course we will see that procession later today, and there will be that committal service. and at the end you'll see the queen's coffin being lowered into the royal vault which is below st. george's chapel behind me. later on there will be a private burial service attended by close members of the royal family, and will of course be the queen's final resting place. becky? >> and if windsor is anything like london has been over the past few days, nada, it will be busy but it'll be quiet. and that's this incredible sense you've had. and you've been working with me here in london.
11:19 pm
you know, thousands upon thousands of people this has been the sort of quiet contemplation, which has just been remarkable to witness. thank you. well, there are so many highlights from queen elizabeth's historic reign including her diamond jubilee which marked 60 years on the throne during what was that momentous occasion in 2012. our next guest was working for the queen. he was tasked with working on communications for the event, surely a tall order for anybody. with me now the former assistant press secretary to the queen. i remember that event. it was the summer of the london olympics here, which the queen very famously played a significant part in with james bond. of course, before we talk about what goes into the sort of day we are about to witness in these last ten days you're a londoner.
11:20 pm
you and i both grew up in london. i just want to get your reflections of what you've witnessed over the past tep days because it really has been a moment in time, hasn't it? >> it has indeed. it's been a momentous time, almost hard to digest. we need the passage of time, the weeks and months to pass before we can really process what's taken place. it's been incredibly moving to see the reaction to her majesty's death. the quiet dignity of people in london and britain all over the world reacting to the queen's death and the expect and esteem and the love that's come through has been a really momentous time. >> westminster abbey has been releasing details about the service and i want to pull out a tweet here. we see james o'donald, the organest and master, so many people involved in the preparations for this day.
11:21 pm
and you all know, you know, none of this happens without months -- years of planning. years of planning has gone into what will be happening today. and just sort of reflect on the experience that you had with the jubilee celebrations and how they compare to this. >> yes, well obviously huge amounts of planning goes into these big british state occasions. for the diamond jubilee we had the useful template of ten years earlier as we'd had a golden jubilee ten years before, and we'd had that as a relatively fresh reminder of what can take place. in terms of the monarch's funeral we haven't had one for 70 years. we've not had a state funeral since winston churchill's funeral in 1965. so this is new territory for lots of people. but the plans have been in place as you say for many, many years. of course they've been approved by her majesty.
11:22 pm
the amounts of planning that goes into everything, the hours and hours of detail that go into perhaps one minute is astonishing. and i think we're going to see a suitable, fitting and hopefully moving send off for her majesty the queen. >> you knew the date of the jubilee celebrations. of course that's been the difficulty. this has been the sort of moving feat, and in the end of course the queen dying peacefully at balmoral, her summer estate, allowing for scotland to really play a part in these -- what have been celebrations of her life. it has to be said of course, you know, the event you are most involved in was a big celebration, wasn't it? >> well, i think the events around the queen's death have been a mixture. of course there's sadness and
11:23 pm
sorrow, and of course she leaves a huge gap in the nation's life and the life of the commonwealth, but there's also gratitude. there's also thanks for everything she's done. the remarkable 70 years of service, the over 21,000 public engagements or the garden parties, the credentials. everything she did day to day at the quality she did it was truly astonishing. so this is farewell but also thank you for everything she did. >> i've been struck by how people have felt. and we've talked to see many people who have been queuing over more than 100 hours, these queues as we've been reporting snaking along the river thames. many of those people will have never met the queen in person. she did do over 20,000 events so there will be some people who met her over the years, but is there a sense the queen has played a role in so many peoples lives? and you and i were just talk
11:24 pm
before we started here. i remember the silver jubilee back in 1970. so you can remember where you were, what you were doing, how old you were, which members of the family were around. and of course the older generation, you know, very much more sort of imbued in the life of the royal family as it were post the second world war. that is what i think has struck people the most. they've got a lot of memories about either having met the queen or having been involved in an event which was associated with her. and that -- that can speak to pretty much every single person in the united kingdom. >> the queen and the royal family are the mirror which we hold up as a nation, and we look in that mirror and hopefully we see the best of ourselves. and the queen, i think, allowed us to express the best of ourselves. someone once said it's not the example of her power. she's not a politician, but the power of her example. and it was simply the
11:25 pm
incredible, immaculate standard of her behavior, her politeness, her humility, her kcuriosity, hr interests which she maintained no matter who she was meeting. whoever she was meeting she maintained those standards. so of course everyone in this country references their lives by the queen and the royal family. >> my sense is it was an honor to work for her. >> an absolute honor and privilege and something i'll remember to my dying days. >> it's good to have you on. it's a remarkable day here in london. still to come my one-on-one interview with the queen of jordan. she pays tribute to the late monarch and reflects on the positive contributions queen elizabeth made across the region particularly in the middle east. you're watching "cnn newsroom." stay with us. help make trading feel effortless and its customizizable scans with social sentiment help you find and unlock opportunities in the mararket

11:29 pm
welcome back to our viewers in united states and around the world. i'm becky anderson in london for you. in just a few hours britain will say a final good-bye to queen elizabeth ii. her long reign and her service will be honored at westminster abbey in a state funeral attended by world leaders. it's been carefully planned for years and will cap off almost ten days of public memorials. well, thousands upon thousands of people have been paying their respects to westminster hall over the past four days where the queen has been lying in state. and just moments ago those public viewings came to an end.
11:30 pm
you are looking at the very last mourners who are allowed to say their farewells before the funeral. well, here in london i had the opportunity to speak the queen of jordan about the remarkable life and legacy of queen elizabeth ii. she says the late monarch was sim bulkily the queen of the world. here is more from our conversation. >> 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 i wasn't too sure of myself. and i did ask her advice, and she told me how important it is to always be there and have that sense of duty and discipline, to pay attention to the little details. and i've always taken advice very seriously. to me she was public service
11:31 pm
personified. she was a woman who pledged her life to the service of her people. and for 70 years never once fell short of that promise. and, you know, i think today she is the -- she was the queen of england but she's 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, i think, and the crowds and the british public and those from around the world who have taken the opportunity to come here, just sort of coming together. >> look, it's been a rough couple of years for the u.k. you know, trying to negotiate a deal with europe post-brexit, cost of living, inflation, it has been tough. but i've never sensed the sense of togetherness that i feel today in the u.k. so she was a unifying force during her lifetime, but she's also unifying in her passing.
11:32 pm
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? >> the relationship goes back several decades and spans several generations. and her majesty ascended to the throne 1952 and enjoyed a close friendship and made more special by their common experience as monarchs. and was also very fond of her majesty as was i. and we have a close relationship
11:33 pm
with his majesty and the queen consort camila. and my son now is very close with prince william. so it's a relationship that goes through generations and one that we really hold close. my husband has served in the british army as well. it's multifaceted and goes back a 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 where the monarchy stands today
11:34 pm
is very different in these issues than it was. every era has its own circumstances. and moving forward like i said his majesty has a deep understanding of our region, a deep respecting. >> he also has a deep relation and interest in islam, which i think is really important as we consider the relationship that the british monarchy has with the middle eastern and wider region going forward. >> absolutely. because he's a very thoughtful person. he's somebody who knows things and studies things deeply. so when he -- when he deals with the world it he deals with a sense of norms and knowledge. so he knows the region very well and knows how to navigate. he's a very wise man. i have no doubt in my mind how much he'd enhance relations not just with our part of the world but with every part of the world. >> and i'll have a lot more from
11:35 pm
london in a few moments. first let's bring in michael holmes in atlanta with the day's other news. michael? >> good to see you, becky. thanks for that. ukraine's military taking control of a key river as it reportedly repel more russian attacks. we'll have details on the effort to liberate more cities when we come back. also hurricane fiona moves onto the dominican republic after lashing puerto rico. we'll track the storm's path and take a look at the damage it has left in its wake.
11:36 pm
11:37 pm
11:38 pm
welcome back. ukraine says its military has repelled russian attacks in the country's northeast over the past 24 hours. some of the fighting reportedly appearing north of izium which was recently liberated after five months of russian occupation. ukraine continues to re-claim
11:39 pm
ground in the northeast as russian forces retreat from the kharkiv region. kyiv says that some russian units lost more than half of their troops and hundreds of pieces of military equipment during the retreat. ukrainian forces also say they've seized control of a key river in region. the video you see there. the president volodymyr zelenskyy says they're gearing up to liberate more cities. >> translator: perhaps it seems to someone now after a series of victories we have a certain lull, but this is not a lull. this is preparation for the next sequence of words very important to us all and that definitely must be heard. >> cnn's senior international correspondent ben wedemen joins me now from kharkiv in northeast ukraine. ben, it has been an extraordinary counter offensive by ukraine. week wale extraordinary the pace of retreat by the russians.
11:40 pm
what do you think? >> well, we were actually in izium yesterday, michael, and what we saw was a lot of russian military hardware just strewn around the streets. and we spoke to some soldiers who said the russians when the ukrainian forces opened fire on that area essentially abandoned all their equipment, jumped in civilian cars which they commandeered and simply drove away. this sort of reminds me of the iraqi retreat from kuwait city at the end of the first gulf war. but what we're seeing is that nonetheless the russians still are striking back. for instance, just over an hour ago we heard four explosions as four missiles slammed into another district of the city of kharkiv where we are. and, of course, the russians we've learned from ukraine's state nuclear power company have fired upon the south ukrainian
11:41 pm
nuclear power plant. according to the company one of the missiles landed within 300 meters of that nuclear power plant. the blast shattered more than 100 windows. now, the russians certainly do seem to be at best digging in preparation for perhaps a renewed ukrainian offensive. now we've seen the pictures on social media that would indicate the ukrainians are approaching the city that fell to the russians last july. so it does appear that perhaps the offensive in the kharkiv region may have come to an end, but perhaps the ukrainians are just gearing up for offenses in other areas. michael? >> yeah, indeed. good to have you there on the scene. ben wedemen, thanks so much. ukraine's first lady has paid her respects to britain's queen elizabeth ahead of the late
11:42 pm
monarch's funeral. she's been in london attending ceremonies. she and the ukrainian prime minister -- cnn's claire sebastian joins me now from london. claire, far from the battlefield a foreign policy role for ukr ukraine's first lady. >> reporter: yeah, michael, i think it's important to note even at this critical moment they're keen to emphasize their relationship with the u.k. to cultivate and with other western partnerships that have been so critical to the course of this war. she is representing her husband, who as you know, has not left the country since the war started in february. he's keenly focused on that counter offensive in the east and south and also representing her country here. she's someone that's been very clear she prefers a role behind had the scenes but has stepped
11:43 pm
up in recent months taking on this practical, very public policy role. just last week she was in strasberg, attending the state of the eu address. you'll remember she addressed the u.s. congress in washington specifically addressing the air defense systems to be added to the roster the u.s. prepares for ukraine. a contrast to note vladimir putin of russia has not been invited to attend these events in london around the queen's funeral. he, according to a senior government source to cnn, was not invited because of course the invasion of ukraine. but this is not just about adiplomacy. ukraine also had a real affection for the queen. i think it's worth noting just over two weeks before she died she sent a message in support of ukraine on the event of its 31st anniversary of its independence day. she said this is a very challenging year for ukraine. her final line, may we look
11:44 pm
forward to better times ahead. michael? >> all right, thanks for that. claire sebastian there in london for us. all of puerto rico is in the dark after being hit by hurricane fiona on sunday. have a listen. what you're hearing there are the strong howling wintds, also seeing the torrential rain there and knocked out the entire territory's power grid and might take several days or more to get it back online. the national hurricane center predicting life threatening and catastrophic flooding. flood waters were able to wash away an entire bridge in one town. you're seeing it happen right there. video there from social media. meteorologist pedram javaheri joins me now with where the storm is going next. >> the dominican republic is on alert here, michael, for landfall potentially the next couple of hours as the system
11:45 pm
moves ashore again. the system impacted the leeward islands and within the past 24 hours making landfall right there local time across the southwestern side of puerto rico. 85 mile per hour winds and the storm system sits at that same strength. so very little in the way of weakening. you'll notice wind gusts exceeding 100 miles per hour, which explains why we've seen over 3 million people across this region without power right now. the entirety of the island remaining without power. there goes the storm system, wind gusts 105 miles per hour. the system is going to impact the area of southern and south eernl portions of of the dominican republic. you'll notice these are all flood alerts prompted across nearly the entirety of puerto rico. 20 inches possible across parts of puerto rico and certainly across areas of the dominican republic as well. notice the storm system is
11:46 pm
forecast to make a sharp right turn, head off towards the north and west and within the next 24 hours potentially impact the eastern side of the turks and cake s and a category 2 storm. conditions are conducive for further strengthening. you get up to a major hurricane category 3 strength. but our friends in bermuda certainly going to be watching this carefully because by thursday afternoon, thursday evening we could have a major hurricane and carefully follow the forecast guidance as well, and warnings and alerts are certainly in place across the islands. pretty mountainous terrain, but the storm system itself because of that shorp right turn should avoid the vast majority of the mountains which is why we think it'll have the potential to strengthen again and continue to strengthen once it clears the area in the coming hours. >> all right, pedram, appreciate the update. keep an update for us. now more severe weather is
11:47 pm
moving across east asia this hour. nearly 10 million people have been ordered to evacuate in japan as typhoon nanmadol lashes the island of kyushu as authorities warn about storms and rainfall. meanwhile in taiwan state media reporting at least one person has died from that 6.9 magnitude earthquake. the tremors so strong they collapsed this bridge twisting its supports out of the ground. and officials report more than 100 after shocks have been recorded. cnn's blake esick joins me now from tokyo. let's start with that massive typhoon where you are there in japan. >> well, michael super typhoon nanmadol will go down as one of strongest typhoons japan has ever seen with gusts of wind reaching 145 kilometers per hour. for days experts had been
11:48 pm
