12:20 pm
for the capital's authorities balancing ceremony and safety is toughest test yet. thousands of officers are deployed a day. the queen's coffin is lying in state. air thanksgiving is suspended while the cortege made the journey there. ♪ and this is what they've come to see. britain's longest serving monarch. a moment in history that so many said they had to be part of. with the numbers comes high risk. >> the most realistic people is quite frankly yetting squashed.
12:21 pm
the national threat level is substantial. a terrorist attack is likely. terrorists are attracted to crowds. >> reporter: and then there's hundreds of dignitaries to con consider. they have been urged to limit the size of entourages. a most high profile being president biden. >> there's no doubt about it that the americans are demanding customers for security and recognize where the boundaries are. >> reporter: planning for protests is also inevitable. these help up blank canvass to highlight anti-monoartie. >> if they don't break the law it needs to be allowed to take
12:22 pm
pl place. i met the queen and certain that she would be here today advocating for rights to protest. >> reporter: the crowds are still coming. britain is prepping to ensure the sendoff goes as smoothly as possible. >> pomp and pageantry spanned the ten days of mourning for the queen 'she makes the final journey tomorrow. the queen will continue to lay in state until monday morning. the coffin will travel with an escort from the royal navy to westminster abbey. a funeral begins at 6:00 a.m.
12:23 pm
eastern. the coffin will depart and travel around the wellington arch and cut through the government district to the wellington arch. the queen will be driven 25 miles west of the capital to windsor castle there where the queen lived the last two years of life and then drive along the long walk where thousands will bid a final farewell. the king's troupe royal horse artillery will fire minute guns from the east lawn as the queen travels. a separate intimate service and the private staff will have in
12:24 pm
attendance and then the coffin committed to the royal vaultd. a private burial will be held monday evening and the queen will be buried in the memorial chapel with prince philip who she was married to for 73 years. it is a momentous event in world history. let's bring in two guests. good to see all of you ladies. >> thank you. >> there's so much to cover here. beginning with did funeral ceremonies marking an end to an extraordinary life why what are the thoughts on how to be recognized and bid adieu
12:25 pm
tomorrow? >> i think we are seeing now the degree to which she was a player on the world stage and took her country with her. the recognition that's coming in from individuals alm all around the world and the ceremonies are historic and the mourning is global. >> this is an extraordinary ten days. how do you expect to see people reacting tomorrow? >> well, i think how we saw people react after the one-minute silence is
12:26 pm
indicatetive. britain is put center stage with all of these dignitaries coming in. queen elizabeth would have been really pleased that britain is elevated so much because of this. everybody's looking toward britain. it is a great opportunity for world lead esches to get together to have quiet conversations. prince charles has helped facilitate with the meeting of 13 religious leaders he brought together. i think the new prince of wales said the same thing. i don't think even the queen would have realized what a massive impact this has on her subjects but the world stage to bring people together especially after tough times.
12:27 pm
>> i was confused hearing the moment of silence. so explain that feeling of exuberance after that moment of silence. >> there are many sides of greefr, respect there? let's be honest. the queen had a beautiful death. we have to meet our end. surrounded by family, planned how she could go, and look what she's done. all of those people cheering have pride in britain again. it is very difficult from the states seeing the stars in stripes. brits aren't quite like that. slightly embarrassed to pick up the country. i think. i'm sure we like to hold the light under bushel.
12:28 pm
everyone has come to pay homage to our queen so i think that's a celebration for britain, for the flag and the queen having brought the people together. >> yeah. thank you for that. i get it now. all right. juliet, to you. >> now for the buzzkill. >> i know. it is a downer but the reality. right? it is where we are every day all the time. huge throngs of people together and of course there are security threats. how does metropolitan police coordinate and also protecting the royals? all walks of life. this is an unbelievable task. >> it is remarkable. "operation london bridge" also included security.
12:29 pm
it is trained. this is a noticed event. we know what's happening. i was thinking to have the four cs problem. it is quite unique. a city and crowd to protect. company including the president of the united states and then the crown. each reich different security apparatus. a solution is shut it down. essentially when we hold or plan major events, think 0 after super bowl, even an olympics, you try to minimize the security foot footprint. the only solution is trying to control as much activity near all the different places with
12:30 pm
walking, driving, air threats. the combination. so the only real solution is what you are seeing which is london is loezed and will be protected. where there's no pretense that the city is going to move on in any capacity. >> the queen meant so much to so many. and we heard from president biden after signing the condolence book and talked about the respect for her service for country and felt like she was a lot like his mom and a cute story but what do you suppose they want the thoughts to be as they sign the come don ens book to express themselves? >> i think in many ways they
12:31 pm
want to be associated with the queen because she did come to stand for something far above the sovereign of one nation, one island. i think there is a feeling that s she really represent the difficult times so i think there's almost no one on earth who wouldn't orr no leader on earth wouldn't want a little of that luster to rub off? we have spoken about the security and the affection. the queue up to 24-hour queue for ordinary people and celebrities to view the queen
12:32 pm
has ooitsds become very british phenomenon. >> impressive. >> yeah. >> trisha, the royal family, they will be and have been on full display in the way they are honoring the queen and i wonder does the passing possibly shoift public opinion, perception of the cohesion of this coordination or even of the king? i have never seen him smile as much. not happy his mom is gone but seemed to open something for him seeing a different charles. >> i couldn't agree more. he gets to create his own per so no and role. people ask will he fill the
12:33 pm
queen's shoes? no. everyone defers to -- thinks of her like a mother figure. we have seen the english touchiness and can laugh about that and shaking hands and somebody handed him a pen saying you might need this. he could laugh at himself which is great. on another point everyone in the royal family is busy, busy, busy, busy. when you think of the miles, the minutes of people they reached to. they have been able to park the grief. i think after the funeral it is a very, very difficult and some mention of prince george the wales' 9-year-old going to the
12:34 pm
funeral. i don't know whether that's decided or not. a 9-year-old boy saying good-bye to his great grandmother who he was close to but not just a 9-year-old boy. what happens if you want to cry or suck your thumb? you have the world press looking at you. photographs to be around forever. once the funeral is over everything that we have seen the royals will have time to feel the queen's loss rather than commiserate with other people. she is not coming back. the moment you want to pick up the phone and talk to mommy and she is not there. >> i was talking to the team
12:35 pm
about this for the public body of people. they really cannot grieve out loud but then once all this is over once the public display is over the grief will be felt in a different way most certainly. while this is a very somber occasion it is enlightning for me and for people learning so much. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> we'll be right back. isn't that right phil? sorry, i'm a little busy. what in the world are you doing? i'm in the metaverse, bundling my home and auto insurance. why don't you just do that in the real world? um, because now i can bundle in space. watch this. i still don't get it. save up to 25% when you bundle home and auto with allstate. click or call for a quote today.

as republican governors send asylum seekers elsewhere the new york governor said they received 11,000 asylum seekers since may and is reaching the breaking point. what else did he say? >> that's right. he is asking the federal government to step up and help. eric adams is critical of the republican governors to coordinate and give a heads up. people have been arriving in new york city on daily. six buses this morning at port authority and yesterday. nearly 300 people yesterday alone. this is becoming a daily 0 kurnts in new york city in addition to martha's vin yards and in washington, d.c. where we see sigh grants dropped often in

lives forever. i'm 75 now and i can't remember except the queen being there. it must have been so trouble for her being solitary. she was here. i think she carved her own role. she made a rule that she had to have private time and passions and public role and i think that is very important that the dowry is planned out so you know when you are on duty and got to do things and in scotland in august that was the moment where it was her enjoyment. although she was probably working with the red boxes throughout she could have the family to stay and do the things she loved. her real passion was racing.
