Hello everyone and welcome to Amampur. Here's what's coming up. The British people continue their long goodbye to Queen Elizabeth II, we have the latest as she lies in state.

Then... The real soul of the Commonwealth, the motor, the drive, call it what you will,

is provided by people within and without those governments.

The future of the Commonwealth under King Charles III.

I'm joined by Baroness Patricia Scotland,

the organization's Secretary General.

And how the Queen navigated the changing tides of history with

author and historian Timothy Garten Ash. Also ahead, Ukrainian victories are

piling up and piling on the pressure for President Putin.

We get inside the Russian leader's mindset with his former speechwriter.

Plus,

They understand only strengths and power, and this is the way to convince the Russian

people that this war must be finished and convince the Russian leadership

that they need to get out of our country.

Walter Isakson speaks with the former press secretary to the Ukrainian President

Valodemir Zelensky about her new book, The Fight of our lives. Welcome to the program everyone. I'm Christina Manpur outside Buckingham Palace in

London. Rivers of people are stretching for miles through the British

capital, criss-crossing the Thames as morners cue. They're cuing to see the

Queen's coffin in the Palace of Westminster, where Elizabeth the II is lying in state and will do

until 6.30 a.m. on Monday morning. That is the day of her state funeral. Her

coffin's procession to Westminster was swept up in the kind of pageantry

that the British do best in the world.
