i'm jake tapper. a commonwealth, the world are mourning the death of queen elizabeth ii. britain's longest ruling monarch died earlier today at the age of 96. the royal family says she passed away peacefully in scotland. the crowds are growing outside of buckingham palace, even though it is typically a rainy evening in london. outside another one of the queen's residences, mourners are leaving flowers and candles to honor her majesty's seven decades of service. king charles iii, that's right, king charles iii, is the new monarch of the united kingdom. he's expected to give his first address as king tomorrow. but this evening, he is mourning the loss of not just the queen but his mother. in a statement saying, we mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished, sovereign and much-loved mother. i know her loss will be felt throughout the country and by countless people around the world. most of us, anyone under the age of 72 or so, do not know a world without queen elizabeth on the throne. she'll be remembe

therar very few overnight sensations in the sport, jake. in himself and a focus that is really allowing him to utilize all those gifts in a way that i don't think he has so far in his young career. he's got such a big serve. he's got incredible footwork. he put himself in excellent position on the court against rafa, who is a player that you can never take for granted that can climb his way out of just about anything. but he can win this thing. he really could. the crowd is going to be on his side. he's always been a showman. he lofds to engage with the crowd. as we've seen over the last week or so, the u.s. open crowd, when they embrace a player they can really lift a player. his chances are really good. but further than that, you touched on his backstory. it is remarkably compelling. his parents fled civil war from sierra leone. he grew up in maryland playing at a tennis facility kind of in the suburbs of d.c. and his dad was a custodian there. and there were a lot of of times during the week where he and his brother and father would esse

let's pick up where we left off with jake. did you find his argument convincing for staying in the iran nuclear talks? >> no deal with iran, george, is a good deal. iran is a state sponsor of terrorism. they continue to claim death to america. we can't allow them to have a nuclear weapon. i always felt this administration was too eager for a nuclear deal or any deal with iran. we should not go forward with one. if we do, it needs to come to the senate for ratification. this administration wants to send tens of billions of dollars to iran for a deal i think is a bad deal for america. >> let's talk about ukraine. are republicans prepared to keep giving ukraine the resources they need to fight this war? some senate candidates like j.d. vance has said we've given ukraine enough. chris murphy said the gop will hold up additional aid if you win control of congress. is he right? >> no. there continues to be bipartisan support in the house and senate for weapons to ukraine. i thought president biden actually was right at the united na

jake?esident zelenskyy said while the counter offensive is starting to slow they will liberate territory in new ways. what does that mean? >> reporter: i think we can expect to see partisan activity. we have been seeing that over some weeks or months in herson. i think we could see a lot more of special forces operations. more nato-style maneuver warfare successful in this kharkiv offensive. trying to unpick the unconventional approach that the russians have from the soviet era. >> the pentagon saying they see forces crossing back into russia. what do we know about that? >> reporter: there have been reports of this and a bit of criticism from putin supporting elements in the russian media of this rout of russian forces. not necessarily going to continue but particularly on this northern front north of where i am in kharkiv about 25 or 30 miles to the russian border. and it is a safe route out. you can get across the border as a russian soldier and you're worried about the future you leg it

i resigned that evening. >> jake tapper joins me now.t that is so obvious, jake, just the weight that the former president's words had on his supporters. i wonder what the committee has made of not only what he said, but as that clip points out from that incredible special report, the words he chose not to say. >> that's such an important point because it has been said in the past that donald trump, during the three hours and seven minutes of the riot, before he put out that statement, that he didn't do anything. but that's not actually accurate, right? he was purposefully refusing. he was watching and enjoying. it wasn't that he was sitting back there and he didn't know what was going on. he knew what was going on and he liked it. and that is one of the things that we've learned from the january 6 committee hearings. and there's so much else we hope to really bring -- shine the light on what they have found, the evidence, the testimony, and also we hope to add to it too by doing our own interviews with sara matthews, the former trump wh
