waiting at st. george's chapel to see her off. i thought that was so sweet. >> the prince of wales now the heir to the throne. two of his children were there, prince george and princess charlotte, it sent a really powerful message. >> it sent a really powerful message about the future of the monarchy, with the king, his heir, and the future heir. but it was also personal to have the queen's great-grandchildren there, so young, 9 and 7, walking in a procession behind her coffin. every >> princess charlotte seems to keep her brother in line. >> she certainly does. there was a wonderful moment as the state queen was coming off the state gun carriage off the hearse and you could see charlotte saying to george, you've got to bow. she knows her stuff, and she's pretty good at keeping her brothers in check. >> my sense is we will see more of that in the future. and we want to turn now to the severe weather and hurricane fiona, which has strengthened

into a category 2 storm with maximum sustained winds of 100 miles per hour. fiona battered puerto rico with torrential rains, which caused massive flooding. and tonight much of the island is without power with at least two deaths being blamed on the storm. cbs's david begnaud is in san juan. >> reporter: hurricane fiona roared ashore, dumping as much as 25 inches of rain and driving up winds to 91 miles per hour. all along puerto rico's southern coast. there were moments like this. neighbors with a boat, some rope, and a desperate will to save a family trapped in high water. there has been catastrophic flooding and mudslides, downed trees and power lines. brown floodwater flowed in all directions, seemingly swallowing everything in its path. in utuado in the center of the island, this new metal bridge built just four years ago after hurricane maria, was swept away

like a twig. nearly the entire island is in the dark. some 1.3 million people are still without power. almost 840,000 have no running water. we got in a helicopter and we first flew over till la baja. you could see people standing on cars and on the second story of their homes. then we headed all the way west to the municipality of aniasco. that's where above the water and out of danger, norma rivera grew up and is determined to stay. >> i'm not leaving. i'm not leaving. we're going to make it work. even if question gotta live in tents. >> reporter: lourdes, who also rode out the storm here, says her community was just starting to recover from hurricane mar rhea back in 2017. >> they worked so hard for their things and now they're losing it again. >> reporter: you know, tomorrow marks five years that hurricane maria ravaged the island of puerto rico and that cut power to people for months. and now because of fiona, most puerto ricans are going to wake

up tomorrow morning and be without power yet again. norah. >> david begnaud, thank you for your steadfast reporting on the island. thank you. well, there's fallout tonight after president biden's interview with "60 minutes." comments he made about the pandemic led stocks of three covid vaccine makers to plunge. shares falling as much as 9%. cbs's ed o'keefe reports from the white house. >> reporter: president biden's conclusion on "60 minutes" sunday that the covid pandemic has ended prompted pushback from health experts and clarifications from top officials. >> the pandemic is over. we still have a problem with covid. we're still doing a lot of work on it. it's -- but the pandemic is over. >> reporter: health and human services secretary xavier becerra, who held a photo op promoting the latest covid booster shot, was asked what the president meant. >> make no mistake, people are still dying. and what the president is saying is that we all want to get back to where we were before covid. >> reporter: while overall case rates are dropping, nearly 400

people are still dying each day with about 30,000 currently hospitalized. and dr. anthony fauci today warned vaccination rates are too low to end the pandemic. >> it is likely that we will see another variant emerge, and there's already on the horizon. >> reporter: mr. biden was also asked on "60 minutes" about whether he plans to run for re-election. >> you say that it's much too early to make that decision. i take it the decision has not been made in your own head. >> look, my intention as i said to begin with is that i would run again. but it's just an intention. but is it a firm decision that i run again? that remains to be seen. >> reporter: if the president were to step aside, it could spark a wide-open fight for the democratic nomination. meanwhile, former president donald trump, potential 2024 challenger, sparked catastrophe at a weekend rally in ohio, where his remarks were set to music that resembled the qanon theme song. >> we're a nation that

surrendered in afghanistan, leaving behind dead soldiers. >> reporter: many in the crowd responded to the music with a qanon salute. the trump team dismissed any ties to qanon. meanwhile, the president also told "60 minutes" the u.s. military would defend taiwan against a, quote, unprecedented attack from china. white house officials later clarified u.s. policy towards taiwan hasn't changed. the chinese called the president's comments -- well, they said they sent the wrong signal. norah. >> ed o'keefe at the white house. thank you. u.s. border officials said today just over 2 million migrants have been apprehended and processed in the last year. that record high includes more than 200,000 just last month. cbs's manuel bojorquez reports tonight from el paso, texas, a border city struggling to respond. >> reporter: yet another bus carrying migrants arrived in new york city from texas. a multi-day journey that for many started here, el paso,

where border patrol says more than 1,000 migrants are crossing into the area a day. to ensure they're no longer sleeping in the streets, the city set up this migrant welcome center. you're getting an average of 400 people a day? >> yes, sir. >> that's a lot. >> and that's going to be increasing shortly. >> so you don't see this slowing down at this point? >> at this point, we're just managing the numbers as they come in. >> reporter: the asylum seekers here are mostly from venezuela, nicaragua, and cuba, which lack diplomatic ties with the u.s. and therefore no quick way to return them. marielba atencio is trying to get to new york with her 3-year-old son. there's no work, not enough money. you think you would die? here, they get help reaching their next destination. some seeing it laid out for the first time.

>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." i'm caitlin huey-burns in washington. thanks for staying with us. president biden is back at the white house this morning after attending the funeral for queen elizabeth in london. before he left for great britain, mr. biden paid the det scott pelley for "60 minutes." he discussed the war in ukraine, threats facing taiwan, and the covid pandemic, which he says is over. >> we went with mr. biden to the detroit auto show last wednesday. he celebrated his new funding of a network of charging stations for electric vehicles. but the newly crowded convention

center brought a different question to mind. mr. president, first detroit auto show in three years. >> yeah. >> is the pandemic over? >> the pandemic is over. we still have a problem with covid. we're still doing a lot of work on it. it's -- but the pandemic is over. if you notice, no one's wearing masks. everybody seems to be in pretty good shape. and so i think it's changing, and i think this is a perfect example of it. >> reporter: the car show was a reminder that gasoline prices hit a historic high last june, in part because russia cut fuel supplies in its war on ukraine. mr. president, the price of gasoline is down about 26% from the $5 high. what can you do to keep that price down while vladimir putin is throttling energy supplies? >> well, there's a couple things we've done. for example, remember i got some criticism for releasing a million barrels of oil a day

from the strategic petroleum reserve. then along came the industry saying they'd produce another million barrels a day by the spring. >> vladimir putin is going to try to break your will on ukraine and use energy prices to do it. >> sure he is. but, you know, we, the united states, are in much better shape than -- than anyone else is and relative to russia particularly. but he's been trying that for a while. he's not going to succeed. >> anybody want to go to washington, jump in. >> reporter: but at this very moment that mr. biden steered for the future, a 19th century form of transport threatened to wreck the economy. a deadline for a national rail strike was two days away. the white ouse brokered a deal thursday after a 20-hour marathon of negotiations. >> one of the thing that happens in negotiations, particularly if they've been elongated like these have, is people say and do

things where their pride gets engaged as well. and it's awful hard to back off of some of these things. they both sat down in my view and they were in the office today saying, well, we finally figured out this is fair on both sides. and it took that time to focus, and the alternative was just not thinkable. >> what do you mean? >> if, in fact, they'd gone on strike, the supply chains in this country would come to a screeching halt, and we would have seen a real economic crisis. >> reporter: the other crisis on the president's desk, ukraine, was also improving last week as ukrainian forces recaptured about 3,000 square miles from the russian invasion. is ukraine winning the war? >> ukraine, through their significant help we and our allies are giving them and the incredible bravery and incredible determination of the ukrainian people, are not losing a war, and they're making gains

in certain areas. winning the war in ukraine is to get russia out of ukraine completely and recognize its sovereignty. they're defeating russia. russia is turning out not to be as competent and capable as many people thought they were going to be. but winning the war, the damage it's doing and the citizens and the innocent people are being killed, it's awful hard to count that as winning. >> reporter: after the horrors of seven months of war, president biden has called russian president vladimir putin a war criminal. >> it has been barbaric what he's done. his attacks on civilian -- everything from civilian hospitals to, you know, people's old-age homes to neighborhoods where ordinary people live -- >> schools. >> schools. it's just outrageous. and so the price ukrainian people are paying for this war

is extremely high, but we're going to stay with them as long as they need our help. >> you're already north of $15 billion in terms of those commitments. how far do you go? >> as long as it takes. >> ironclad commitment. >> yes. >> as ukraine succeeds on the battlefield, vladimir putin is becoming embarrassed and pushed into a corner, and i wonder, mr. president, what you would say to him if he is considering using chemical or tactical nuclear weapons. >> don't. don't. don't. it will change the face of war unlike anything since world war ii. >> and the consequences of that would be what? >> i'm not going to speak to. >> what would the u.s. response be? >> you think i would tell you if i knew exactly what it would be? of course i'm not going to tell you. it will be consequential. they'll become more of a pariah in the world than they ever have

been, and depending on the extent of what they do will determine what response will occur. >> reporter: on the same day we spoke to the president, putin met with china's leader, xi jinping. there's concern that russia's attempt to force reunification with ukraine could inspire china to attack the island of taiwan. u.s. policy since 1979 has been to recognize taiwan as part of china but remain silent on whether the u.s. military would defend the democratic government there. this is among the places where our interview runs into controversy. what should chinese president xi know about your commitment to taiwan? >> we agree with what we signed on to a long time ago, and that there's a one china policy and taiwan makes their own judgments about their independence. we are not moving -- we're not encouraging their being independent. that's their decision.

>> but would u.s. forces defend the island? >> yes, if in fact there was an unprecedented attack. >> after our interview, a white house official told us u.s. policy has not changed. officially, the u.s. will not say whether american forces would defend taiwan. but the commander in chief had a view of his own. so unlike ukraine, to be clear, sir, u.s. forces, u.s. men and women would defend taiwan in the event of a chinese invasion? >> yes. >> reporter: for the first time, mr. biden spoke about the classified documents that the fbi found in former president trump's home. the justice department has opened a criminal investigation. have you been briefed, sir, on the top secret documents that were found at mar-a-lago? >> no. >> no one has come to you to warn you that important national security secrets were revealed

by the storage of those documents at the former president's home? >> i have not personally spoken to anyone in that regard. i'm sure my administration is aware of all of that, and so is the national security council. but i am not. >> were you notified of the fbi's execution of a search warrant at mar-a-lago? >> no, not ahead of time. >> reporter: the fbi spread the documents out on a floor to make a record of what was found. when you saw the photograph of the top-secret documents laid out on the floor at mar-a-lago, what did you think to yourself looking at that image? >> how that could possibly happen. how anyone could be that irresponsible. and i thought, what data was in there that may compromise sources and methods? by that, i mean names of people who helped, et cetera. and it's just totally irresponsible. >> and you don't know what was

in those documents? >> i have no asked for the specifics of those documents because i don't want to get myself in the middle of whether or not the justice department should move or not move on certain actions they can take t. i agreed i would not tell them what to do and not, in fact, engage in telling them hugh to prosecute or not. >> you can see scott pelley's >> you can see scott pelley's full report on our this isn't charmin! no wonder i don't feel as clean. hurry up dad! you've been in there forever! i'm trying! this cheap stuff is too thin! i told you not to get the other toilet paper. here's the new charmin ultra strong. ahhh! my bottom's been saved! woooo! with its diamond weave texture, new charmin ultra strong cleans better with fewer sheets and less effort. what's everybody waiting for? this? ok hon, we know you're clean. we all go, why not enjoy the go with charmin. hi, i'm jason and i've lost 202 pounds on golo. for me as a veteran, ok hon, we know you're clean. it transitioned from active duty service

during her reign, the late queen elizabeth met with 13 different presidents, the only one she missed was lyndon johnson. former president obama has fond memories of his time with the british monarch. >> the first time that i met the queen was visiting london. she reminded me very much of my grandmother, which surprised me, not just in appearance but also in manner. very gracious but also no nonsense. write sense of humor. she could not have been more kind or thoughtful to me and michelle. shortly thereafter, michelle and malia and sasha, my two daughters, had occasion to go back to england. buckingham palace reached out, and her majesty had invited michelle and the two girls to

tea. the queen was an excellent listener. she had a genuine curiosity. although she was impatient to get to the point. this is in 11, and we had been invited to a state dinner at buckingham palace. state dinners at buckingham palace are a little different than state dinners everywhere else. the queen was dressed up quite a bit for this state dinner, and it was a little bit concerning for michelle because as a gift to her majesty, michelle had selected a small, modest broach of nominal value. we reciprocated the following evening with a dinner that we hosted at the american embassy. but the one thing we immediately noticed is that she's wearing

the broach that michelle had given, and it was an example of the subtle thoughtfulness that she consistently displayed not just to us but to everybody who she interacted with. she was very mindful of guests at buckingham palace not overstaying their welcome. she was looking at her watch and add some point said, well, okay, it's time to go. and the same was true. as a guest, she wasn't interested in overstaying her welcome. she looksed at her watch at a certain point and said, i think we need to wrap this up. the combination of a sense of duty and a clear understanding of her role as a symbol for a nation and as the carrier of a certain set of values combined with a very human quality of

kindness and consideration -- i think that's what made her so beloved

queen elizabeth's reign lasted seven decades. we end this half hour with a look back at the queen through the years. ♪ >> when i was 21, i pledged my life to the service of our people, and i asked for god's help to make good that vow. although that vow was made in my salad days when i was green in judgment, i do not regret nor retract one word of it. ♪
