tourist? for many buckingham palace is high on that list to watch the changing of the guard and to go see the queen. americans in recent days visiting the palace have not gone to see the queen but to pay their respects to her joining the ever-growing crowd laying flowers, taking pictures and soaking it all in. some americans that i've spoken to around the palace in those recent days include a mother and daughter who said they loved the queen's fashion sense and elegant style and were excited about the prospect of a new king charles. an indian american couple i spoke to immediately after the queen's death said they had understandably complex feelings about the monarchy but admired the queen and were saddened by the news. another couple on vacation from portland, oregon, said they were walking toward buckingham palace just to take it all in saying it felt like a moment in history. back at home, british flags lining streets in washington, d.c. vice president kamala harris visiting the british embassy there. president biden visiting before her, signing the guest book and

he's now no longer an individual, he is the institution. he is there as that figure head to a third of the world. he has to be above politics, be a symbol of unity, identity and pride, and certainly for all british people, so he'll be visiting his realms, trying to meet as many people as possible. he is now our comforter in chief as it were. >> and as we watch him step into this new role, what does it mean for formerly prince william, now prince -- he is still prince william obviously, but what does it mean for him and kate at this point? >> well, it got announced very quickly that they are now known as the prince and princess of wales. we've already had sources say that the new princess of wales is very aware of the history related to her title, but she will be creating her own path. they will be carrying on with their charity work, which is very close to their hearts.

we've been seeing them doing it for quite some time and also protecting their children. it's very interesting this happened the week where they had made this big move to adelaide cottage at windsor, which is a four-bedroom cottage, and they had enrolled their three children in a country school outside of the goldfish bowl of london life. so that's going to be a massive priority for them as well. >> and turning back to the new king, you know, we were talking about, he is the head of state of 15 countries, the figurehead to a third of the world. there are mixed reactions, mixed feelings about the monarchy, about the royal system around the world. what does the future look like? how does he work to be inclusive? what does that all mean for him? >> i mean, he's very aware of what he's taken on and i think all royal watchers are expecting that a number of nations will now become independent, and i think that's inevitable. that was a huge respect for the

queen. she was there for seven decades. huge affection for her. times move on. we'll see what happens in the uk. at the moment there's this outpouring of emotion for king charles iii. he's got to cement his position there. >> all right. imogen lloyd webber, thank you so much for being with us this morning. trevor. >> thank you both, and we, of course, want to turn to all the other news happening back here at home including the extreme weather that's hitting southern california this weekend. this time tropical storm kay is pounding the region with drenching rain and high winds. abc's alex presha joins us with more. alex, good morning. >> reporter: hey, trevor. the l.a. area is finally starting to dry out, but check out some of this severe weather from other parts of southern california all thanks to now remnants of kay. we got flash flooding and downed trees in whittier and there are washed out roads in salton city. flood watches are still in effect. the heaviest rain behind us but some areas could see one to two additional inches. it doesn't sound like a lot, but it doesn't take much for

mudslides and flash flooding. wind alerts expired over night, which is good news for firefighters as they make progress on the fairview fire. it's over 28,000 acres, 40% contained. the mosquito fire is now over 29,000 acres and 0% contained. as for the heat, today is the 11th and final day of the record-shattering heat wave in the west. the high heat prompting planned power shutoffs in oregon and washington. officials hopeful the move will help prevent more wildfires, and heat alerts remain in effect for parts of northern california and southern oregon today. janai. >> all right, alex, thank you. and back here in new york, governor kathy hochul declaring a state of emergency over polio. new tests now detecting traces of polio in wastewater in nassau county on long island. polio has also been detected in other parts of the state including new york city. so far there has been just one confirmed case in rockland county. health officials say all of those areas have low vaccination rates for polio. now to the battle over migrants being bused from border

states into major cities. the mayor of washington, d.c. now declaring a state of emergency as the city faces a flood of thousands. abc's maryalice parks is in washington with the latest. maryalice, good morning. >> reporter: trevor, good morning. yeah, i'm here in front of union station, the main train and bus station here in washington, d.c. and washington, d.c. mayor muriel bowser says that over 9,000 migrants have been bused to here this summer alone sent from texas and arizona. texas is also sending other migrants to new york and chicago. and mayor bowser and other leaders in these democratic cities just blasting these republican governors in texas and arizona arguing that they're using people, using these migrants as political pawns and d.c., like you said, declared a state of emergency this week opening up about $10 million in funds to help provide housing, meals for these migrants as they arrive. a spokesperson from texas governor greg abbott told us in a statement that they think the true emergency is at our nation's southern border, not in

the nation's capital where small texas border towns are overrun and overwhelmed, they said. and there was this new video from texas just this week, migrants rescued. they had to swim. there you see it. swim across the river. border patrol agents having to rescue them. border patrol agents pleading with migrants to not risk their lives in these sorts of situations. now, the d.c. mayor here has asked the federal government for help from the national guard, but, janai, so far that help has not arrived. >> all right, maryalice, thank you. turning overseas now to reports this morning that ukrainian forces have broken through the russian front line and are advancing quickly. this as there is also a new and urgent warning about the nuclear plant in zaporizhzhia. shelling has caused a complete blackout in the area, and the plant's one functioning reactor may have to be shut down. the fear is that if the emergency generators run out of fuel, it could cause a nuclear meltdown. so we'll be watching that.

but we are going to turn now and get a check of the weather. danielle breezy from our nashville affiliate wkrn is taking a look at that, and, danielle, you're in a coat. it might be cold out there. >> reporter: i am in a coat because it is going to rain here, janai, later today, and we are worried about the rain across the southeast, but i do want to talk about rain in some areas that don't normally see it. that's in southern california. now, again, this is because of now, again, this is because of post-tropical kay. it's no longer a hurricane or tropical storm. it's pulling away but will spread a lot of rain and we have flood watches up. we're dealing with the heat just north of l.a. and also into northern california also into oregon, you could see the triple digits again. the good news is that heat is going to break. we're also talking about fire weather, though, up in the northwest.because saturday morny be c7 meteorologist francismorny lawson. what you'll notice is the triple digits are gone. we barely even have 90s in the forecast for today. so temperatures take quite a

tumble for inland neighborhoods. only 80 in santa rosa conquered in livermore. 85 around the bay look for 70, san francisco 72 oakland 74, so it's going to be cooler but humid this weekend with a very slight chance of rain overnight. >> reporter: so we'll talk about >> reporter: and so we'll be talking about the rain in the southeast coming up, guys. back to you. >> danielle, thank you and thank you to your coat. next we move to the u.s. open and the hard fought semifinals match overnight between american frances tiafoe and spain's carlos alcaraz. this was an epic, high-level, high-energy five-setter. overnight all eyes on frances tiafoe with the u.s. open semifinals. >> that's it. >> reporter: the 24-year-old american and sudden fan favorite facing off against spain's carlos alcaraz. the two newcomers battling for more than four electrifying

hours. tiafoe got off to a strong start winning an opening set tiebreaker and after a rocky second and third set, he regained momentum forcing and winning a tense tiebreak in the fourth set. notable figures like michelle obama cheering on the rising star, but it wasn't enough to overtake alcaraz whose endurance intensified in the final set, the 19-year-old taking the fifth, 6-3 to take down tiafoe. on the heels of a triumphant quarterfinals win -- >> that's it. >> reporter: -- tiafoe made history as the first black american man to make it to the u.s. open semifinals since arthur ashe 50 years ago, and we heard from tiafoe's father, who worked as a maintenance worker at the tennis club where tiafoe trained as a boy. he said that he was incredibly proud of his son but also not surprised based on how hard he was working, janai. >> that is absolutely incredible what he has done, trevor. well, still coming up here

♪ welcome back to "gma" on this saturday morning. trevor and i are holding down the fort here in new york. amy robach co-anchoring from edinburgh in scotland with all the momentous changes following the death of britain's queen elizabeth. >> overnight charles was formally proclaimed as king during a ceremony at st. james's palace with more proclamations coming up ahead in the cities of london, wales, in northern ireland and also in scotland where we find our amy robach. amy, what's next on the king's agenda? >> well, good morning, trevor. yes, it is a busy day as we've

been telling you all about for britain's new monarch, king charles iii. this morning, we already saw that formal ceremony at the accession council where he was officially proclaimed king before his wife, the queen consort camilla and his son william, the new prince of wales and a gathering of britain's senior politicians and top dignitaries. charles, of course, still somber from the passing of his mother, the queen, promising to dedicate his life in service to his new subjects. immediately after we saw what was the first of several proclamations throughout london, the trumpets were blaring. we heard the gun salutes sounding off as the announcement of the new king came and the proclamation was just read not too long ago at the royal exchange in the city of london, and we also expect it to be proclaimed in scotland, in wales and in northern ireland as the day goes on. now, the king is expected to come here to scotland in the coming days as her majesty's body is here in scotland and a number of ceremonies will occur

here in this country, and we will bring that to you throughout the rest of the week, but the british commonwealth, of course, is mourning the loss of the queen, the passing of the queen but also is looking ahead to a new era of this monarchy. there will be changes in store. everything from currency to stamps to the uk's national anthem. lama hasan is at buckingham palace with all of that. good morning to you, lama. >> reporter: yeah, and good morning to you, amy. as you know from spending some time here, the queen's image is everywhere. she's on our bank notes, our coins. the national anthem has "god save the queen" in it, so with the newly minted king charles iii, what happens now. queen elizabeth ii was the country's longest serving and much loved monarch and is still arguably the most famous woman in the world. her face gracing almost everything in sight from stamps to coins and bank notes. in 1960 she became the first british royal to have a photo featured on paper bills with her likeness on currencies and commonwealth countries including canada, new zealand and australia.

her insignia also emblazoned on post boxes up and down the country. >> she is omnipresent in terms of representing the country, because among other things, the royal family is a branding opportunity. >> reporter: with the dawn of a new era slowly being ushered in william king charles ascending the throne, what happens now? >> one of the things that comes into question is what happens to the constitutions of places where she is the queen and that's what is in their constitutions. >> reporter: this has been the national anthem for 70 years. ♪ god save the queen ♪ >> reporter: "god save the queen" now changed to "god save the king" heard at friday a memorial service at st. paul's. ♪ god save the king ♪ >> reporter: and a spontaneous rendition outside buckingham palace as the newly minted king charles greeted mourners.

♪ god save the king ♪ >> reporter: charles iii is set to use his reign to overhaul the future with talks of a slimmed down monarchy. what will a king charles iii era look like as he becomes the head of 14 other commonwealth countries? definitely different from his mum. he cares deeply for the environment, even installing solar at his homes, and while the queen steered away from politics, will charles be able to do the same? >> as king you're more constrained in what you can do, the top job. you are a constitutional monarch. you're the head of state, so you have to be guided in many ways by your government. >> reporter: so as prince charles was outspoken on a number of issues that are close to his heart, namely, the environment, during his first address he signaled a change saying that he will no longer be able to champion those issues, amy. >> yes, so many changes under way here. lama hasan, thank you so much. and for more on the royal family, let's go back to trevor in new york. >> thank you, amy.

of course, king charles is ready to put his own stamp on the monarchy, so to speak, so joining us from buckingham palace is abc royal contributor omid scobie. thank you for being here. we've heard how there's a lot of changes now that we have king charles, but what do you think will be the key differences of the reign of charles compared to the reign of queen elizabeth? >> well, of course, charles is bringing his own touch to that as well. and i think one of the key things that we'll see is the presence of our monarch on the world stage. of course, in recent years we haven't seen the queen traveling. we know that charles has an incredible relationship with many of the world's greatest leaders, and i think that that presence and his ability to travel will be one of the things that really changes and sort of advances our monarchy on the world stage. i think at the same time we'll also see him connecting with the people here. charles is someone that's traveled the length and breadth of the uk connecting with people from all sorts of socioeconomic, religious and ethnic backgrounds and that's something that will be key to helping advance the

monarchy and the uk and ensuring that it modernizes. >> we now have a princess of wales for the first time since the death of princess diana. that's another big change here. princess kate now moving into the role. how do you think she'll step in there? >> we talk about the shoes that charles has to fill. but just as weighty as that title that kate takes on, of course, as a princess of wales she's taking on the legacy of princess diana, and it was very interesting that the first sort of briefing that we had from kensington palace yesterday was an acknowledgement that she understands the weight that comes with that title, but she's also keen to carve out her own path, and i think that that path will be centered around the initiatives and causes she's already focused on, particularly early years childhood development, but i think for her this is a brand-new chapter for her, a much bigger role and i think all eyes will be on her. it will be an interesting time. >> omid, i know you wrote the book on harry and meghan and we got to ask, a lot of people

are wondering during his speech last night king charles said he wanted to express his love to harry and meghan as they continue to build their lives overseas. how did you view that statement? was it a sincere wish, do you think, or is there maybe some tension there still in the relationship? >> yeah, well, trevor, i don't need to sort of go over the fractures and tensions in that relationship between the sussexes and members of the royal family and institution but, of course, i think that message from charles last night expressing his love for harry and meghan in that address was somewhat of an olive branch to the couple, and i think a reminder that he does care about his son and his daughter-in-law. i think this is the beginning of hopefully a better relationship for him moving forward, but, of course, the ball is also in the sussexes' court. >> this is a global shift but at the center of it is a family in mourning. omid scobie, thanks for your time. always good to see you. in the meantime, we want to bring it home to the u.s. and another check of our weather with danielle breezy from our nashville affiliate, wkrn. hey, danielle. >> reporter: good morning, trevor. and i got to show you first this dramatic video. this is from this week in

hagerstown, maryland. take a look at this. you can see the road is getting flooded over by that water. this guy that's videoing should not be doing that. remember, if you see flooded roadways, you want to turn around, don't drown. can't stress it enough. but what incredible video, and the reason we're showing you this is we do have flood watches up for the florida coast as you can see the gulf coast up to greensboro, north carolina, that's in effect through sunday and what we're expecting here is anywhere from about one to two inches of rain, three to five inches of rain not out of the anything. rain not out of the okay? too. hi, i'm abc 7 meteorologist francising lawson a much cooler day for inland neighborhoods temperatures in the 80s there today around the bay look for 70s and at the beaches upper 60s, but it will feel humid with all the cloud cover, too. >> reporter: and i know you >> reporter: and i know you called me out with the rangecoat but i've got the raincoat, i've got lightning bolts on. i'm letting you know it's
