THIS PROGRAM WAS MADE POSSIBLE BY THE CORPORATION FOR PUBLIC BROADCASTING AND BY CONTRIBUTIONS TO YOUR PBS STATION FROM VIEWERS LIKE YOU. THANK YOU. THE QUEEN DIED PEACEFULLY AT BELLE MAURO THIS AFTERNOON. THOSE WERE THE SIMPLE WORDS FROM BUCKINGHAM PALACE, DESCRIBING THE PASSING OF AN EXTRAORDINARY WOMAN A. ELIZABETH II, THE LONGEST-SERVING MONARCH IN BRITAIN'S HISTORY, DIED AT HER ESTATE IN SCOTLAND WITH HER THREE SONS, DAUGHTER AND GRANDSON WILLIAM THERE. HER ELDEST SON IS KING CHARLES III.HER LIFE SPANNED MORE THAN A CENTURY, 70

YEARS OF WHICH SHE SPENT ON THE THRONE. THOUSANDS GATHERED OUTSIDE OF BUCKINGHAM PALACE IN LDON IN AN OFFICIAL PERIOD OF MOURNING AND COMMEMORATION. THE NEWLY CONFIRMED PRIME MINISTER LIZ TRUSS WHO WAS INVITED BY THE QUEEN PERSONALLY TWO DAYS AGO TO FORM A GOVERNMENT SPOKE THIS EVENING OUTSIDE OF NUMBER 10 DOWNING STREET. >> THE DEATH OF HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN IS A HUGE SHOCK TO THE NATION AND TO THEORLD. QUEEN ELIZABETH II WAS THE ROCK ON WHICH MODERN BRITAIN WAS BUILT. OUR COUNTRY HAS GROWN AND FLOURISHED UNDER HER REIGN. BRITAIN IS THE GREAT COUNTRY IT IS TODAY BECAUSE OF HER. JUDY: NOW WILLIAM BRANGM HAS A LOOK BACK AT H REMARKABLE RAIN. WILLIAM: SHE WAS BORN PRINCESS ELIZABETH ALEXANDRA MARY, FAR DOWNHE LINE OF ROYAL SUCCESSION AND OUT OF THE SPOTLIGHT. THAT CHANGE RADICALLY IN 1936. HER GRANDFATHER QUEEN -- KING

GEORGE V DIED, AND WITHIN MONTHS, HER UNCLE ABDICATED. THE TURN OF EVENTS MEANT THAT HER FATHER BECAME KING GEORGE VI , AND THE PRINCESS WAS ELEVATED TO HEIR APPARENT. >> THE BEST OF LUCK AND SUCCESS. WILLIAM: AS SHE GREW INTA YOUNG WOMAN, SHE BEGAN TAKING ON PUBLIC SERVICE RULES DURING WORLD WAR II, AND IN 1947, SHE MARRIED LIEUTENANT PHILIP MOUNTBATTEN, A ONE TIME PRINCE OF GREECE AND DENMARK. THEIR CEREMONY WAS AT WESTMINSTER ABBEY WITH SOME 2000 IN ATTENDANCE. FIVE YEARS LATER, HER LIFE CHANGED SUDDENLY WHEN KING GEORGE DIED. >> I DECRE FOR THE WORLD, FOR MY WHOLE LIFE, WHETHER LONG OR SHORT, SHALL BE DEVOTED TO YOUR SERVICE. >> HER MAJESTY LOOKING RADIANT IN HER WONDERFUL DOWN. WILLIAM: AT THE AGE OF 25, SHE

ASCENDED TO THE BRITISH THRONE. THE CORONATION OF QUEEN ELIZABETH TOOK PLACE WITH GREAT POMP AND CIRCUMSTANCE, AN EVENT BROADCAST TO THE WORLD ON TELEVISION FOR THE FIRST TIME. >> YOU SOLEMNLY PROMISE AND SWEAR TO GOVERN THE PEOPLES OF THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN? >> I SOLEMNLY PROMISE SO TO DO. WILLIAM: IN THOSE EARLY YEARS, THE QUEEN AND HER HUSBAND END, THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH, STARTED A FAMILY THE FIRST WAS PRINCE CHARLES, THEN ANNE, FOLLOWED BY ANDREW, DIRK OF YORK. ALONG WITH MOTHERHOOD, THE QUEEN AIMED TO BE A MODERN MONARCH AND KEPT A BUSY PUBLIC SCHEDULE FOR DECADES. >> I WOULD LIKE TO TELL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, NORTH, SOUTH, EAST AND WEST, TO KNOW HOW HAPPY WE ARE TO BE HERE SHE MET WILLIAM: WITH WORLD LEADERS AT HOME AND ABROAD.

ONE VISIT BROUGHT HER TO THE U.S. 2007 WHEN BEN PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH WAS IN THE WHITE HOUSE. >> IT IS A MOMENT TO TAKE STOCK OF OUR FRIENDSHIP, RIGHTLY TAKING PLEASURE FROM ITS STRENGTHS, WHILE NEVER TAKING THESE FOR GRANTED, AND IT IS THE TIME TO LOOK FORWARD, JOINTLY RENEWING OUR COMMITMENT TO A MORE PROSPEROUS, SAFER AND FREER WORLD. WILLIAM: THE QUEEN CARRIED OUT AN ENDLESS VARIETY OF CEREMONIAL DUTIES AND WAS THE PATRON OF MORE THAN 600 ORGANIZATIONS AND CHARITIES. THROUGH IT ALL, SHE TRIED TO KEEP HER FAMILY'S PERSONAL LIFE OUT OF THE PUBLIC EYE, BUT THE EFFORT WAS INCREASINGLY IN VAIN. IN 1983, AN INTRUDER CONFRONTED THE QUEEN IN HER BEDROOM, AND IN 1992 CAME A SERIES OF TABLOID SCANDALS. TENSIONS IN THE MARRIAGE BETWEEN HER SON PRINCE CHARLES AND PRINCESS DIANA BROKE OPEN WITH REPORTS THAT BOTH WERE HAVING

AFFAIRS. PRINCE ANDREW ANNOUNCED HIS SEPARATION FROM DUCHESS SARAH FERGUSON, AND PRINCESS ANNE DIVORCED HER HUSBAND. LATER THAT YEAR, A FIRE DESTROYED PORTIONS OF WINDSOR CASTLE. THE SAME MONTH THE QUEEN REFLECTED ON WHAT SHE CALLED "THE HORRIBLE YEAR." >> 19 AND TO IS NOT A YEAR I WILL LOOK BACK ON WITH AN DILUTED PLEASURE. IN THE WORDS OF ONE MORE SYMPATHETIC -- WILLIAM: REPORTS OF THE QUEEN'S RELATIONSHIP WITH PRINCESS DIANA CONTINUED. CHARLES DIVORCED IN 1996 AFTER VING TWO SONS, PRINCE WILLIAM AND PRINCE HARRY. DIANA WAS KILLED IN A CAR CRASH IN PARIS, AND AMID AN OUT POURING OF GRIEF, LISBETH DREW CRITICISM FOR WAITING A WEEK ON

ISSUING A STATEMENT ON THE TRAGEDY. ULTIMATELY, THE QUEEN'S POPULARITY RECOVERED AT HOME AND AROUND THE WORLD. SHE BECAME KNOWN AS A DEVOTED GRANDMOTHER AND LATER GREAT-GRANDMOTHER, AND PERHAPS BETTER KNOWN FOR HER COLORFUL SUITS AND HATS AND HER LOVE OF DOGS, ESPECIALLY THE CORGIS WHO NEVER SEEMED FAR AWAY. BRITAIN CELEBRATED THE QUEENS DIAMOND JUBILEE IN 2012, MARKING THE 60TH ANNIVERSARY OF HER REIGN WITH A MARITIME PARADE FEATURING MORE THAN 1000 VESSELS WRITING DOWN THE THAMES RIVER. THREE YEARS LATER IN SEPTEMBER OF 2015, SHE BECAME BRITAIN'S LONGEST-REIGNING MONARCH, SURPASSING HER GREAT-GREAT-GRANDMOTHER QUEEN VICTORIA WHO REIGNED FOR 63 YEARS, AND THE WEDDINGS OF HER GRANDSONS, WILLIAM THE 2011, HARRY IN 2018, ONCE AGAIN

BROUGHT IN AN OUTPOURING OF AFFECTION FOR THE ROYAL FAMILY. ELIZABETH URGED HER PEOPLE TO ASPIRE TO THE GOOD AND PRACTICE KINDNESS, AS IN HER PRE-RECORDED CHRISTMAS MESSAGE IN 2016. >> WE SOMETIMES THINK THE WORLD'S PROBLEMS ARE SO BIG THAT WE CAN DO LITTLE TO HELP. ON OUR OWN, WE CANNOT END WARS OR WHITE OUT INJUSTICE. BUT THE CUMULATIVE IMPACT OF THOUSAND OF SMALL ACTS OF GOODNESS CAN BE BIGGER THAN WE IMAGINE. WILLIAM: QUEEN HERSELF TRIED TO STAY ACTIVE EVEN AT AN ADVANCED AGE, BUT IN 2016, BUCKINGHAM PALACE ANNOUNCED SHE WAS CUTTING BACK ON HER APPEARANCES. SHE FACED NEW PERSONAL TURMOIL WHEN PRINCE HARRY AND HIS WIFE MEGAN WHO IS HALF BLACK WERE ANNOUNCED ROYAL DUTIES AND SAID MEGAN HAD BEEN SUBJECTED TO RACISM WITHIN THE ROYAL FAMILY. THE COUPLE ULTIMATELY MOVED TO CALIFORNIA. IN APRIL OF 2021, PRINCE PHILIP,

THE QUEENS HUSBAND OF 75 YEARS, DIED, SHORTLY BEFORE HIS 100TH BIRTHDAY. ELIZABETH HERSELF SLOWED DOWN REMARKABLY IN 2022. THE PLATINUM JUBILEE OF HER 70 YEARS ON THE THRONE. SHE MISSED SOME OF THE EVENTS AND WAS SAID TO HAVE HAD DIFFICULTY GETTING AROUND, BUT IN ONE OF HER FINAL ACTS, THE QUEEN MET WITH LIZ TRUSS TO FORMALLY REQUEST SHE BECOME THE 15TH PRIME MINISTER OF HER LONG-RANGE. QUEEN ELIZABETH II WAS 96 YEARS OLD. JUDY: JUST AMAZING. BEFORE WE MOVE ON, SHORTLY AFTER THE QUEENS DEATH WAS ANNOUNCED, A SPARKLING RAINBOW BROKE OUT OVER LONDON AND BUCKINGHAM PALACE. NOW FROM LONDON LATE IN THE EVENING, I AM JOINED FROM OUTSIDE THE PALACE BY SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT VILLA MARKS. TELL US ABOUT EVENTS OF TODAY.

>> LEAVING ASIDE THE RAINBOW, WE HEARD AROUND LUNCHTIME AND U.K. THAT ELIZABETH'S DOCTORS WERE CONCERNED ABOUT HER HEALTH AND PLACED HER UNDER MEDICAL SUPERVISION. BUCKINGHAM PALACE ISSUED A STATEMENT SAYING SHE PASSED AWAY PEACEFULLY AT HER SCOTTISH ESTATE. ALL FOUR OF HER CHILDREN WERE EITHER WITH HER OR ON ROUTE TO BE WITH HER, AS WERE SEVERAL OF HER GRANDCHILDREN, SO IT WAS COMPELLING TO SEE THAT THEY WERE THERE AT THE END OF HER LONG LIFE. IN THE HOURS BEFORE THE ANNOUNCEMENT, THERE WERE CROWDS ALREADY GATHERING. MANY THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE, MANY STREETS CLOSED OFF BY POLICE. EVERY SO OFTEN, YOU WILL HEAR THE NATIONAL AND START TO BREAK OUT AMONG GROUPS OF PEOPLE. THE WORDS HAVE CHANGED TO "GOD SAVE THE KING," TO CELEBRATE THE

NEW KING, CHARLES III. JUDY: TELL US ABOUT WHAT THE PALACE HAS PLANNED IN THE DAYS AHEAD. >> OF COURSE, YOU MIGHT IMAGINE THAT THE SPECIFIC DETAILS OF THE FUNERAL HAVE BEEN WORKED ON FOR MANY. -- MANY YEARS. THE PALACE HAS NOT REVEALED THE TIMETABLE, BUT HER BODY WILL BE TAKEN FROM SCOTLAND TO THE CAPITAL OF EDINBURGH. THERE WILL BE A SERVICE IN THE MAIN CATHEDRAL OF SAINT GILES BEFORE H BODY IS TAKEN ALL THE WAY SOUTH BACK DOWN TO LONDON. ONE IMAGINES THERE WILL BE THOUSANDS OF MOURNERS LINING TRACK -- LINING THE TRACK. WHEN SHE ARRIVES AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE, SHE WILL LIE IN STATE AT THE THRONE ROOM THE HYMIE -- BEHIND ME. FOLLOWING THAT, THERE WILL BE A

FUNERAL. OF COURSE THERE WILL BE A FORMAL PROCLAMATION, AS CHARLES IS NOW THE KING, AND ACROSS THE NATION, THERE WILL BE THE TOLLING OF BELLS. ALL DOMESTICS WILL BE FLYING AT HALF MAST, THE FLAGS. THERE WILL BE 10 DAYS OF MORNING, ROYAL PALACES CLOSED, AND MANY OTHER BUSINESSES FACING A NATIONAL PUBLIC HOLIDAY. JUDY: CLEARLY SO MUCH TRADITION, BUT SUCH A PERSONAL OUTPOURING, IS A TREMENDOUS TRIBUTE. WILL MARKS OF JOINING US FROM OUTSIDE OF BUCKINGHAM PALACE, THANK YOU. WE KNOW ONE OF THE QUEEN'S FAVORITE HOMES WAS WINDSOR CASTLE. MALCOLM BRAVA AND WAS THERE TONIGHT AS BRITTS ABSORBED THE NEWS. MALCOLM: THEY CAME TO THE

STATUTE OF QUEEN VICTORIA TO PAY TRIBUTE TO THE LONGEST SERVING MONARCH IN BRITISH HISTORY AND MARK THE END OF THIS ELIZABETHAN ERA. >> I JUST WANT TO THANK THE QUEEN FOR HER REIGN AND ALL SHE HAS DONE FOR THE COUNTRY AND THE WORLD. >> SHE DEVOTED HER LIFE TO OUR COUNTRY AND THE COMMONWEALTH, AND THERE'S NEVER BEEN IN ANOTHER QUEEN LIKE HER. IT WAS SUCH A SHOCK. 48 HOURS AGO, SHE WELCOMED THE NEW PRIME MINISTER. IT WILL NEVER BE THE SAME. MALCOLM: LATE IN THE EVENING, PEOPLE STREAMED INTO WINDSOR TO EXPERIENCE A UNIQUE MOMENT. >> IT'S AS IF THE RUG HAS BEEN PULLED OUT FROM UNDERNEATH US AS A COUNTRY. THE QUEEN HAS BEEN WITH US DIFFICULT MOMENTS. SHE JUST EPITOMIZES WHAT BRITISH CULTURE IS ABOUT, REALLY. SHE HAS BEEN A GREAT SUPPORTER,

AND WE, THE U.K. AND THE WORLD HAVE LOST A FABULOUS LADY. MALCOLM: THE MOOD WAS SOMBER AS BRITONS CAME TO TERMS WITH THE CHANGING OF THE GUARD. >>>> I AM 72. I HAVEN'T KNOWN LIFE WITHOUT THE QUEEN. SHE IS SOMEBODY TO BE ADMIRED, SOMEBODY TO BE FOLLOWED, AND AN EXAMPLE TO US ALL. SHE WILL BE GREATLY MISSED, AND I HOPE THE FUTURE IN CHARLES'S HANDS WILL BE SECURE. MALCOLM: THIS COUNTRY IS ENTERING UNCHARTED TERRITORY. FOR THE PAST 70 YEARS, THE QUEEN HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED AS A SYMBOL OF STABILITY, BUT KING CHARLES AS A DIFFERENT CHARACTER, SEEN AS A DIVISIVE CHARACTER, AND HE HAS A HUGELY DIVISIVE TASK TO COUNTRY DURING A TROUBLING TIME. JUDY: AS MENTIONED, QUEEN

ELIZABETH WAS THE LONGEST SERVING MONARCH IN BRITAIN'S HISTORY, AND IT IS WORTH NOTING THAT THE EVENT THAT CHANGED THE COURSE OF HER LIFE, HER UNCLE EDWARD'S ABDICATION FROM THE THRONE SO THAT HE COULD MARRY WALLIS SIMPSON. I SPOKE ABOUT THE QUEENS LEGACY WITH A BIOGRAPHER AND THE AUTHOR OF "THAT WOMAN: THE LIFE OF WALLIS SIMPSON." THANK YOU FOR JOINING US ON THIS SAD DAY FOR GREAT BRITAIN. WE CAN'T EVEN THINK OF THE COUNTRY WITHOUT THINKING OF QUEEN ELIZABETH, CAN'T WE? >> IT IS SUCH A PRIVILEGE TO SHARE MY THOUGHTS. I THINK THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY IS OBVIOUSLY FOR A WOMAN OF 90 AND FRAIL HEALTH, ONE HAD TO EXPECT SHE WOULD EVENTUALLY DIE, AND YET THE SENSE OF SHOCK TODAY

IS ABSOLUTE THE PALPABLE. LONDON WHERE I AM IS ABSOLUTELY IN SHOCK. THE MOOD IS VERY SOMBER. JUDY: MY COLLEAGUE WAS JUST SPEAKING WITH PEOPLE WHO WERE REACTING. HOW IS SHE SEEN BY THE BRITISH PEOPLE? >> EVEN THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE POSSIBLY NOT MONARCHISTS WILL SAY, I LOVE THE QUEEN. SHE UNITED THE BRITISH PEOPLE. SHE WAS A FIGURE OF STABILITY. I THINK IF I CAN REMEMBER ALL OF THE D'S, DUTY, DEVOTION, DISCRETION, ALL OF THOSE OLD-FASHIONED VALUES, SHE WAS A LINK TO THE PAST. SHE WAS A LINK TO THE WAR. I MEAN, THIS IS A SERIOUS

WATERSHED MOMENT. SHE'S HELD THE COUNTRY TOGETHER IN SO MANY WAYS DURING THESE DIVISIVE TIMES, BUT I THINK WHAT SH REPRESENTS IS HOW WE LIKE TO SEE THE BEST OF OURSELVES. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE BRITISH? WELL, TRADITION AND HISTORY AND DUTY, ALL OF THOSE THINGS SHE REALLY REPRESENTED, SO IT WILL BE A MOMENT OF CHANGE, AND THE NEW KING, KING CHARLES, WILL HAVE TO EARN THE LOVE THAT HIS MOTHER HAD ENJOYED FOR SO LONG. ITS GOING TO BE DIFFICULT, BUT I AM SURE WE WILL COME THROUGH. JUDY: SO HARTO SUM UP 70'S, BUT YOU HAD TO SAY WHAT HER LEGACY WAS, WHAT YOU SAY? >>>> I THINK HER STABILITY IS

THIS STABILITY, CONSTANCY, THAT WE ARE ONE NATION. SHE HAS GROWN THE COMMONWEALTH WHEN EMPIRE WAS UNFASHIONABLE. SHE IS THE GRANDMOTHER OF THE NATION. SHE IS A MATRIARCHAL FIGURE. SHE IS SOMEONE WE WERE ALL ABLE TO SEE AS OUR GRANDMOTHER, SO SHE REPRESENTS BOTH A FAMILY THAT HAS BEEN THROUGH TURMOIL IN VERY DIFFICULT TIMES OF ENORMOUS SOCIAL CHANGE, AND SOMEHOW SHE HAS SHOWN US A BETTER WAY TO BE. AS I SAY, SHE HAS REPRESENTED THE BEST OF OSELVES. SHE HAS SHOWN GREAT DISCRETION AND LOVE. JUDY: WE CAN'T LOOK INTO THE FUTURE, BUT HOW DO YOU THINK THE MONARCHY WILL BE DIFFERENT UNDER KING CHARLES III? >> THE FIRST THING HE HAS SAID OPENLY IS HE WANTS A SLIMMED DOWN MONARCHY.

HE DOESN'T WANT EVERY NIECE, NEPHEW AND GRANDCHILD TO NECESSARILY BE A WORKING ROYAL, A "PAID ROYAL," SO IT WILL LIKELY GO DOWN TO WILLIAM AND CATHERINE THE FIRST INSTANCE AND THEIR CHILDREN. OF COURSE, HE MUST BE AWARE HE IS AN ANACHRONISM IN TH21ST CENTURY, SO THEY HAVE TO SHOW THAT THEY ARE WORTH IT IN TERMS OF THE WORK THAT THEY DO, AND I THINK THE WORK ETHIC OF QUEEN ELIZABETH WAS EXTRAORDINARY. SHE WAS CONSTANTLY READING AND STUDYING, AND ALL THE PRIME MINISTERS SAID, IF YOU HADN'T READ THAT CABINET DOCUMENT, SHE CERTAINLY HAD. RIGHT UP UNTIL YESTERDAY, SHE WAS DOING HER DUTY. SHE WAS DETERMINED TO CARRY ON. WHAT SHE REPRESENTED WAS THIS CONTINUITY.

SHE LIVED THROUGH THE ABDICATION CRISIS OF 1936HEN HER UNCLE GAVE UP THE THRONE, AND HER UNCLE EDWARD WHO MARRIED WALLIS SIMPSON, THAT IS WHAT WAS SHOT THROUGH IN HER VEINS -- YOU DON'T GIVE UP. YOU DON'T ABDICATE, AND LUCKILY FOR HER SHE DIDN'T HAVE TO BECAUSE SHE DIED ON THE JOB. IT WAS A DETERNATION TO KEEP THE COUNTRY TOGETHER, THE FIGUREHEAD OF THE MONARCHY SHOWING US THE BEST WE COULD BE WHEN, IN 1936 QUITE FRANKLY, THE MONARCHY HAD A SHAKY MOMENT WHEN HER MOTHER, QUEEN ELIZABETH, THE QUEEN MOTHER, AND HER FATHER GEORGE VI TOOK OVER, IT WAS NOT A GIVEN THAT THEY WOULD WEATHER THAT STORM, AND THEY DID. SHE TOOK OVER IN 1952. IMMENSE CONTINUITY AND STABILITY AT EVERY STAGE.

JUDY: WHAT A LIFE. WE REMEMBER HER TODAY AND FOR A LONG TIME TO COME. PLEASE, TUNE IN TONIGHT FOR MORE SPECIAL COVERAGE OF THE QUEENS RAIN, QUEEN ELIZABETH: A ROYAL LIFE. IT AIRS TONIGHT ON PBS AT 8:00 P.M. CHECK YOUR LOCAL LISTINGS. IN THE DAYS OTHER NEWS, THE LEGAL FIGHT RESEARCH OF THE TRUMP HOME IN FLORIDA TOOK A NEW TURN. THE U.S. JUSTICE DEPARTMENT APPEALED A FEDERAL JUDGE'S ORDER THAT AN INDEPENDENT ARBITER REVIEW CLASSIFIED RECORDS AT THE ESTATE. THE JUDGE BLOCKED FEDERAL INVESTIGATORS FROM USING ANYF THE DOCUMENTS. TODAY'S FILING SEEKS TO PUT ALL OF IT ON HOLD PENDING THE APPEAL. MR. TRUMP'S LONGTIME ADVISOR STEVE BANNON SURRENDERED TO AUTHORITIES IN NEW YORK FOR ALLEGED FRAUD IN FUNDING A SOUTHERN BORDER WALL. HE ARRIVED AT STATE COURT

OFFICES IN MANHATTAN. HE PLEADED NOT GUILTY TO MONEY LAUNDERING, CONSPIRACY AND FRAUD. PROSECUTORS SAY BANNON ILLEGALLY DIVERTED HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FROM THE WALL BUILDING CAMPAIGN. POLICE IN MEMPHIS ARE STILL SEARCHING FOR A MOTIVE AFTER A GUNMAN KILLED FOUR PEOPLE AND WOUNDED THREE. STEPHANIE SY HAS MORE. STEPHANIE: POLICE FIRST WARNED MEMPHIS RESIDENTS WEDNESDAY EVENING TO LOCK THEIR DOORS. THEY WERE LOOKING FOR A MAN ON AIR RAMPAGE. ACROSS EIGHT DIFFERENT SCENES, A GUNMAN HAD SHOT AND KILLED HIS WAY ACROSS THE CITY. A SUSPECT WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY WEDNESDAY AFTER A CHASE AN STANDOFF. EARLIER TODAY, THE CITY'S MAYOR CALLED THE KILLINGS SENSELESS. >> THIS IS NO WAY FOR US TO LIVE. AND IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. STEPHANIE: POLICE SAY THE FIRST

KILLING HAPPENED WEDNESDAY BEFORE 1:00 A.M. WHEN THE PERPETRATOR SHOT A 24-YEAR-OLD MAN IN A DRIVEWAY. IN THE AFTERNOON AROUND 4:00, TWO MORE SHOOTINGS AT DIFFERENT LOCATIONS, THE FIRST ONE FATAL. AT 6:00, POLICE RECEIVED A TIP THAT THE SUSPECT WAS FILMING HIS CRIMES ON FACEBOOK. THEY IDENTIFIED HIM AND STARTED ALERTING RESIDENTS. >> AT FIRST, WE OUGHT HE WAS TRYING TO ROB THEM. STEPHANIE: 19-YEAR-OLD EZEKIAL KELLY WAS ARRESTED. HE HAD A RECORD OF CRIMINAL VIOLENCE, CHARGE WITH FIRST-DEGREE MURDER AT 17 MAYOR STRICKLAND BLAMED HIS EARLY RELEASE FOR THE DEATHS OF FOUR MEN CITIZENS -- MEMPHIS CITIZENS. >> THESE ACTIONS SHOW WHY TRUTH IN SENTENCING IS A MUST.

WE SHOULD DO ALL WE CAN TO MAKE OUR CITY SAFE. MALCOLM: POLICE HAVE NOT REVEALED A MOTIVE. I AM STEPHANIE SY. JUDY:N CANADA, TENSIONS EASED ACROSS SASKATCHEWAN AFTER THE END OF A MANHUNT IN MASSED EVIDENCE THAT KILLED 10 PEOPLE, BUT QUESTIONS LINGER ABOUT THE WAY THE SEARCH ENDED ON WEDNESDAY. ONE OFFICIAL SAID MYLES SANDERSON DIED FROM SELF AND DID INJURIES -- SELF-INFLICTED INJURIES. OTHERS SAID BECAUSE OF DEBT WAS UNCLEAR. HARD-HIT CONSUMERS IN BRITAIN WILL RECEIVE A BREAK FROM SKYROCKETING ENERGY BILLS BROUGHT ON BY THE WAR UKRAINE. THE CONSERVATIVE PRIME MINISTER LIZ TRUSS ANNOUNCED PLANS TO CAP PRICES FOR TWO YEARS. SHE CALLED FOR INCREASED OIL DRILLING IN THE NORTH SEA AND FOR LIFTING A BAN ON FRACKING TO BOOST DOMESTIC SUPPLIES. >> I RECOGNIZE PEOPLE ARE

STRUGGLING WITH ENERGY BILLS, AND THAT IS WHY I HAVE BROUGHT FORWARD THIS DEBATE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO GIVE PEOPLE REASSURANCE AHEAD OF THIS WINTER THAT ENERGY BILLS ARE GOING TO BE AFFORDABLE. JUDY: SHE REJECTED CALLS FOR A WINDFALL TAX ON OIL COMPANY PROFITS TO PAY FOR THE CAP. BACK IN THIS COUNTRY, THE MICHIGAN SUPREME COURT HAS AGREED TO LET VOTERS DECIDE ON ENSHRINING ABORTION RIGHTS STATE POWER SUPREME COURT. IT SETS UP A REFERENDUM IN THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS. ABORTION RIGHTS ACTIVISTS HAD PETITIONED TO PUT A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT ON THE BALLOT. CALIFORNIA'S POWER GRID OPERATORS URGE CUSTOMERS TO CONSERVE ENERGY. OFFICIALS SAY PEOPLE HAVE RESPONDED TO SO-CALLED FLEX ALERTS BY TURNING DOWN THEIR

AIR-CONDITIONERS. ON WALL STREET, STOCKS MANAGED ANOTHER DAY OF MODERATE GAINS. THE DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL AVERAGE WAS UP 193 POINTS TO CLOSE AT 31,774. THE S&P 500 ADDED 26 POINT. STILL TO COME, A NEW HOLE INDICATES HOW AMERICANS FEEL ABOUT THE U.S. ECONOMY AHEAD OF THE ELECTION. THE POLITICS OF IMMIGRATION INTENSIFY AS TEXAS AND ARIZONA BUS MIGRANTS TO WASHINGTON, D.C. AND OTHER CITIES. WE REMEMBER THE LIFE OF LONG TIME NEWS ANCHOR BERNARD SHAW. PLUS MUCH MORE. >> THIS IS THE "PBS NEWSHOUR" FROM WETA TO THE O'S IN WASHINGTON AND THE WALTER CRONKITE SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM AT ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY. JUDY: U.S. SECRETARY OF STATE TONY BLINKEN MADE A SURPRISE VISIT TO KYIV AS SECRETARY OF

DEFENSE AUSTIN MET ALLIES IN GERMANY. THEY UNVEILED A 20TH PACKAGE OF U.S. WEAPONS FOR UKRAINE, AND FOLLOWING IT ALL IS NICK SCHIFRIN WHO JOINS ME FROM SOUTHERN UKRAINE. TELL US ABOUT THESE PROMISES MADE BY SECRETARY BLINKEN. NICK: HIS TRICK HERE WAS THE HIGHEST PROFILE OF A TRIUMVIRATE OF SUPPORT BY THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE, BLINKEN AND THE PRESIDENT'S ALLIES. HE TRAVELED TO KYIV BY TRAIN, AND IN THE CENTER OF TOWN, HE MET PRESIDENT THE LOAD MAYOR ZIELINSKI IN HIS OFFICE, ANNOUNCING A LONG-TERM ASSISTANCE PROGRAM TO UKRAINE AND 18 EASTERN EUROPEAN ALLIES, AND HE CALLED THIS A PIVOTAL MOMENT IN THE WAR, REFERRING TO UKRAINE'S OPPORTUNITY TO RE-SEIZE TERRITORY.

BLINKEN WALKED THROUGH IRPIN, ONE OF THE EPICENTERS OF HORROR IN THIS WAR WHERE RUSSIAN SOLDIERS TORTURED AND DUMPED UKRAINIA SOLDIERS INTO A MASS GRAVE. >> LOOK AT ALL OF THESE BUILDINGS, ALL CIVILIAN DWELLINGS, AND AT BEST, IT SEEMS INDISCRIMINATE, AND AT WORST, INTENTIONAL. THERE HAS TO BE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THOSE WHO COMMITTED ATROCITIES, THOSE WHO ORDERED ATROCITIES. NICK: HE AND THE U.S. ARE SUPPORTING UKRAINE'S EFFORTS TO HOLD ACCOUNTABLE NOT ONLY LDIERS, SOME OF WHOM HAVE BEEN FOUND GUILTY UKRAINIAN COURTS, BUT SENIOR RUSSIAN OFFICIALS WHO ORDERED THOSE SOLDIERS TO DO WHAT THEY DID, BUT THERE IS NO CLEAR MECHANISM TO FIGURE OUT

HOW TO HOLD THE SENIOR OFFICIALS ACCOUNTABLE. JUDY: THERE WAS ALSO MILITARY AID ANNOUNCED BY THE TELL US ABOUT THAT. NICK: BLINKEN ANNOUNCED A PACKAGE THAT WOULD HELP EASTERN UKRAINE IN OVER THE NEXT YEARS, THIS WAS THE 20TH PACKAGE ANNOUNCED BY LLOYD AUSTIN AND GENERAL MARK MILLEY AS PART OF A PRESIDENTIAL DRAWDOWN, AS IN DRAWING DOWN U.S. WEAPONS AND SENDING UKRAINE IMMEDIATELY. THEY ANNOUNCED IT IN GERMANY. THE $675 MILLION ANNOUNCED TODAY INCLUDES MORE ARTILLERY TO FIGHT UKRAINE'S EASTERN FRONT WHERE IT HAS MADE GAINS IN THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS. AUSTIN: ALLIES TO INCREASE MILITARY PRODUCTION TO FIGHT AGAINST A PRESSURE THAT POSES A CHALLENGE TO ALL OF THEM. >> UKRAINE IS FIGHTING FOR ITS

LIFE. IT IS FIGHTING FOR ITS DEMOCRACY AND ITS FREEDOM, BUT THE STAKES REACH FAR BEYOND THE LINES. THEY REACH US ALL. NICK: GENERAL MILLEY WAS CAUTIOUS TO SAY IT WAS TOO EARLY TO GIVE AN ASSESSMENT. HE SAID RUSSIA'S STRATEGIC GOALS HAD BEEN DEFEATED, BUT HE MADE COMMENT THAT RUSSIA WAS MAKING TACTICAL GAINS IN EASTERN UKRAINE, ESPECIALLY IN THE DONBASS. JUDY: FINALLY, THERE WAS A WARNING FROM THE U.S. ABOUT RUSSIA'S OCCUPATION OF THAT NUCLEAR POWER PLANT AT ZAP ARISIA. NICK: SECRETARY AUSTIN CALLED THE OCCUPATION "DEEPLY RECKLESS, AND COULD HAVE GRAVE CONSEQUENCES." IT IS EUROPE'S LARGEST NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, AND LAST WINTER IT PROVIDED 20% OF ALL OF UKRAINE'S ENERGY NEE. THERE ARE USUALLY SIX REACTORS ON, BUT TODAY, FIVE OF THEM ARE

OF AND THE LAST ONE IS PROVIDING ELECTRICITY TO THE PLANT ITSELF TO PREVENT ANY KIND OF MELTDOWN. THEY CALL THAT ISLAND MODE BECAUSE THE PLANT IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE GRID. I TALKED ABOUT THAT AND SO MANY OF THE NUCLEAR FEARS WITH THE PRESIDENT OF THE NUCLEAR AUTHORITY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. NICK: HOW CONCERNED ARE YOU ABOUT THE RISK OF A NUCLEAR DISASTER? >> I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE OPERATION OF THE ZAP ARISIA POWERPLANT. WE HAVE SEVERE SITUATIONS. WE DO NOT HAVE ANY CONNECTION FROM THE POWERPLANT TO THE GRID. ALL LINES THAT CONNECT IT TO THE GRID ARE DAMAGED AT THE MOMENT. THERE IS NO ELECTRICITY IN OR OUT OF THE PLANT. NICK: IS THE RUSSIAN GOAL TO DISCONNECT THE PLANT FROM THE UKRAINIAN GRADE AND REDIRECTED

THE POWER INTO RUSSIA? >> IT WAS THE ORIGINAL GOAL WHEN THEY STARTED THE SHELLING, AND THEY HAVE ACHIEVED THIS GOAL. THE PLANT IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE UKRAINIAN GRADE. NICK: CAN YOU FIX THE LINES THAT GO FROM THE POWERPLANT TOHE REST OF UKRAINE? >> WE ARE TRYING TO DO THAT. NOT ALL LINES CAN BE REPAIRED. SOME OF THEM ARE UNDER HEAVY SHELLING. NICK: HOW IMPORTANT DO YOU BELIEVE IT IS THAT THE OUTPUT OF THE PLANT GET REPAIRED BEFORE THE WINTER? >> THIS PLANT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR US. WE OPERATE ALL SIX UNITS DURING THE WINTER. IF WE DO NOT HAVE THE PLANT DURING THE WINTER, IT WILL BE VERY SEVERE FOR THE ENERGY

SYSTEM. NICK: HAS RUSSIA ALREADY SEVERED ALL OF THE LINES THAT GO INTO THE PLANT TO PROVIDE THE PLANT ELECTRICITY? >> ALL THE LINES AT THE MOMENT ARE BROKEN. THIS IS VITAL FOR THE PLANT TO SURVIVE, THE COOLING OF THE NUCLEAR MATERIAL. YOU CAN'T COOL IT FOR ONE MINUTE OR TWO MINUTES. IT SHOULD BE COOL ALL THE TIME. NICK: THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED AT FUKUSHIMA. THE PLANT LOST A SOURCE OF ELECTRICITY. >> IT LOST ITS POWER SUPPLY. NICK: RIGHT NOW, THE PLANT COST ONLY SOURCE OF POWER IS ONE OF ITS OWN REACTORS. IS IT SUSTAINABLE? >> AS FAR AS I KNOW, IT IS THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY IT HAS OPERATED IN THIS MODE. NICK: THE BOTTOM LINE IS IT IS NOT SUSTAINABLE. IT IS NOT DESIGNED TO DO THAT.

>> EXACTLY. NICK: WHEN MR. GROSSI WAS BEING LED AROUND, WE SAW UNOFFICIAL FROM ROSS LEFT BEING A TOUR GUID WHAT IS THE PRESENCE OF RUSSIAN CIVILIAN OFFICIALS? >> THERE ARE ABOUT 10-15 PERSONS . THEY ARE LIKE SPIES. THIS IS A CRAZY SITUATION. NICK: TALK ABOUT THE PHYSICAL RISK TO THE PLANT. IT IS BUILT TO WITHSTAND PHYSICAL DAMAGE, BUT ARE YOU CONCERNED ABOUT THE PHYSICAL DAMAGE FROM MILITARY ACTION CREATING A SPREAD OF RADIATION? >> THIS PE OF REACTOR IS DESIGNED TO WITHSTAND AIRPLANES COMING, BUT IF YOU DO IT INTENTIONALLY, IF YOU HAVE THESE INTENTIONS IN YOUR CRAZY MIND, YOU CAN BREAK EVERYTHING.

NICK: DO YOU BELIEVE THAT IS WHAT RUSSIA WANTS TO DO? IT WANTS TO KEEP THE PLANT INTACT TO REDIRECT THE OUTPUT. >> THEY WANT TO BLACKMAIL THE WORLD. RIGHT NOW, WE UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY WANT. THEY WANT TO RUIN OUR ECONOMY, AND THE SECOND IS TO RECONNECT IT TO THEIR SYSTEM. NICK: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. JUDY: A PBS NEWSHOUR AND NPR POLL IS OUT PROVIDING A SNAPSHOT ON HOW AMERICANS VIEW ECONOMY MD MIDTERM ELECTIONS, NOW 61 DAYS AWAY. LISA DAYS ARJEN IS HERE. WHAT AMERICAN SAYING ABOUT HOW THEY SEE THE ECONOMY? LISA: SOME QUESTIONS MATTER MORE

THAN OTHERS. WE STARTED WITH A SIMPLE ONE -- IS THE U.S. IN A RECESSION? HERE IS WHAT WE GOT FROM RESPONDENTS -- 62% OF AMERICANS BELIEVE WE ARE IN A RECESSION. THAT IS A DEBATE AMONG ECONOMISTS, BUT IT IS A SIGN THAT AMERICANS THINK THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM A MAJORITY OF PEOPLE FOR THE FIRST TIME BELIEVE THE BIDEN PRESIDENCY HAS ECONOMY -- HAS WEAKENED THE ECONOMY. JUDY:JUDY: WHEN YOU COMPARE THE ECONY TO ISSUES LIKE ABORTION, IS IT CLEAR WHAT THE IMPLICATIONS ARE FOR THE MIDTERMS? LISA: LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THAT QUESTION WE KEEP ASKING, WHAT ISSUES ARE TOP OF MIND? LOOK AT THESE ISSUES, INFLATION AND ABORTION. ON THE LEFT, 37% OF PEOPLE SAID

INFLATION WAS TOP OF MIND, 18% ON ABORTION. LOOK HOW THAT HAS CHANGED IN SIX WEEKS. THE GAP BETWE THOSE ISSUES HAS GONE DOWN BY MORE THAN HALF, AND IT IS NO SURPRISE THAT THERE IS A PARTISAN DIFFERENCE. MORE DEMOCRATS AND MORE INDEPENDENTS ARE STARTING TO CARE ABOUT ABORTION AS AN ISSUE. ONE THING I NOTICED, A KEY GROUP WE WILL WATCH FOR THIS, SUBURBAN VOTERS. THAT IS WHERE THESE MIDTERM SWING RACES WILL HAPPEN. WE ASKED FOR THE TOP ISSUES. MEN, 40% OF THEM SAID THEIR TOP ISSUE WAS INFLATION. WOMEN, 35% SAID ABORTION. THIS IS ABOUT A GENDER SPLIT OVER KEY ISSUES, AND WE KNOW DEMOCRATS ARE COUNTING ON SUBURBAN WOMEN TO COME OUT FOR THEM. HOW ARE DEMOCRATS DOING IN A HEAD-TO-HEAD FIGHT?

YOU VOTE FOR? A VIRTUAL TIE. JUDY: THE FIRST TERM -- MIDTERM AFTER A PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, THAT IS STRIKING. FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP NOT ON THE BALLOT, BUT WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING ABOUT HIM AND ALL OF THESE INVESTIGATIONS? LISA: WE HAVE SEEN HIM BE SUCH A FORCE IN HOW VOTERS THINK. WE WANTED TO ASK VOTERS OF ALL WALKS OF LIFE WHAT THEY THOUGHT ABOUT PRESIDENT TRUMP AND WHETHER HE WOULD RUN. HERE'S THE QUESTION, SHOULD PRESIDENT TRUMP RUN IN 2024? MOSTLY, IT IS REPUBLICANS WHO WANT HIM TO RUN, BUT IT IS TWO THIRDS WHO WANT HIM TO RUN, AND INDEPENDENTS, ONE THIRD. VERY FEW DEMOCRATS WANT TO THE FORMER REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT TO RUN. HERE IS WHAT WE DID -- WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF PRESIDENT TRUMP IS CHARGED WITH A CRIME?

REPUBLICANS, I WANT TO LOOK AT IN PARTICULAR. YOU CAN SEE THAT THE NUMBER DOES GO DOWN, BUT NOT BY MUCH, 61%, EVEN IF HE IS CHARGED WITH A CRIME. HE HAS THE SUPPORT OF 61% OF REPUBLICANS. HE ONCE BRGED ABOUT, EVEN IF I SHOT SOMEONE NEW YORK, I WOULD STILL HAVE MY VOTERS, AND 61% SAY, YEAH. JUDY: SOME SLIPPAGE, BUT SLIGHT SLIPPAGE. THEY ARE REMAINING LOYAL. THANK YOU. YOU CAN READ MORE OF THE TAKEAWAYS FROM OUR POLL ONLINE AT PBS.ORG/NEWSHOUR. BOWSER DID AFTER THOUSANDS OF MIGRANTS WERE SENT TO THE NATION'S CAPITAL FROM TEXAS AND

ARIZONA. BUSES ARE GOING TO NEW YORK CITY AND CHICAGO AS WELL. IT ISART OF A BATTLE BETWEEN SOME REPUBLICAN GOVERNORS AND THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION OVER IMMIGRATION POLICY. WE SPENT TIME WITH SOME OF THESE MIGRANTS ARRIVING IN D.C. >> BEFORE THE SUN IS UP, THE BUS ARRIVES NEAR WASHINGTON, D.C.'S UNION STATION, CARRYING ASYLUM-SEEKERS WHO CROSSED THE BORDER INTO TEXAS. VOLUNTEERS FROM A NONPROFIT GREET THEM AFTER THIS TRIP. FOR SOME, THE JOURNEY BEGAN MONTHS EARLIER. IT IS JUST PAST 6:15. THE GROUP HAS BEEN DIVIDED INTO SUBSECTIONS, PEOPLE WITH NO CONTACT WITH FAMILY IN THE UNITED STATES. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO A SHELTER FACILITY IN THE D.C. AREA, AND A SMALLER GROUP WHO SAY THEY HAVE

FAMILY OR FRIENDS THEY ARE LOOKING TO RECONNECT WITH. FOR FIVE MONTHS, REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR TEXAS GREG ABBOTT HAS BEEN SENDING MIGRANTS TO WASHINGTON, D.C., A POLITICAL MESSAGE. >> WE ARE GOING TO TAKE THE BORDER TO HIM. >> ARIZONA GOVERNOR DOUG DUCEY SAID THE TRIPS ARE NECESSARY BECAUSE OF LITTLE TO NO FEDERAL ASSISTANCE. THE GOVERNORS HAVE ARGUED THAT THEIR STATES HAVE BORNE THE BURDEN OF RISING NUMBERS OF PEOPLE ATTEMPTING TO CROSS THE SOUTHERN BORDER. U.S. OFFICIALS REPORTED MORE THAN 1.8 MILLION APPREHENSIONS ON THE BORDER IN THE FIRST 10 MONTHS OF THE FISCAL YEAR. AS IN YEARS PAST, PEOPLE FROM MEXICO, GUATEMALA, HUNDREDS AND EL SALVADOR MAKE UP MOST OF THE TOTAL, AND MANY ARE QUICKLY

TURNED BACK AROUND, BUT OFFICIALS ARE SEEING A SHARP INCREASE IN MIGRANTS FROM CUBA AND VENEZUELA. BECAUSE OF STRAINED DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS, MIGRANTS CANNOT BE EXPELLED FROM THE U.S. AT UNION STATION, EVERYONE WE MEET IS VENEZUELAN, INCLUDING RAMON, HIS WIFE AND THEIR CHILDREN. >> IT IS NO SECRET WHAT THE SITUATION IN VENEZUELA IS LIKE, THE LACK OF JOBS AND GOODS FOR OUR CHILDREN. THAT IS WHY I DECIDED TO COME TO THE U.S. >> THEIR BAG HOLDS A FEW CLOTHES AND DIAPERS. EVERYTHING ELSE THEY SAY WAS ABANDONED OR STOLEN. >> IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT. IT WAS A TWO MONTH JOURNEY THAT I NEVER IMAGINED WOULD BE THIS HARD. >> U.S. OFFICIALS SEPARATED

THEIR ADULT SON AT THE BORDER. HE'S 23 WITH DEVOPMENT OF DISABILITIES AND RELIES ON HER FOR CARE. >> MY HOPE IS TO CONTINUE HOLDING ONTO MY FAITH IN GOD. I'M SCARED BECAUSE WE ARE IN A COUNTRY THAT IS NOT OUR OWN. >> WE LEARNED THE FAMILY GOT WORD THAT THEIR SON WAS RELEASED AND IS TRYING TO REUNITE WITH HIM. EVERYONE IN THIS GROUP WILL BE MOVED TO A RESPITE CENTER IN A NEARBY MARYLAND CITY. THEY CAN GET FOOD AND TAKE SHOWERS, AND FOLKS CAN STAY THERE UNTIL THEY FIGURE OUT THEIR NEXT STEPS. DEMOCRATIC MAYORS ERIC ADAMS OF NEW YORK AND MURIEL BOWSER OF D.C. HAVE SLAMMED THE BUSSING PROGRAM. >> YOU HAVE A PERSON WHO IS USING THOSE WHO ARE SEEKING REFUGE AS POLITICAL SHOWMANSHIP.

HE THINKS THIS IS A PERFORMANCE, AND IT'S NOT. >> I FEAR THEY ARE BEING TRICKED INTO NATIONWIDE BUS TRIPS WHEN THEIR DESTINATIONS ARE PLACES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. >> IT IS PROBLEMATIC, HOWEVER, AN OFFICIAL WORKS NOT IN COLLABORATION WITH US BUT UNILATERALLY, AND THAT LACK OF COORDINATION CREATES PROBLEMS. >> PERHAPS AN UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCE, HIS BUSSING OF MIGRANTS MAY BE EASING THE ASYLUM PATHWAY. DATA SHOWS IN THE LAST 10 MONTHS, JUDGES IN HOUSTON ONLY PROVED 17% OF ASYLUM-SEEKERS. IN DALLAS, 33%, BUT NEW YORK COURTS HAVE APPROVED OVER 80% OF ASYLUM RELIEF APPLICATIONS. AT A CHURCH IN D.C., SINGLE MEN FROM THE BUS GET A FRESH SANDWICH AND A BRIEF REST.

VOLUNTEERS WILL TRY TO FIND THEM A SPOT IN CITY SHELTERS. JESSICA CISNEROS IS A VOLUNTEER. >> I WAS AT THE SHELTERS WITH A GROUP OF 20 MEN, AND THEY WERE NOT GIVEN ENTRY. IN THE PAST, TH'VE BEEN ABLE TO SLEEP OUTSIDE. THERE WAS NOWHERE FOR THEM TO GO. >> ARIZONA OFFICIALS, WE ARE TOLD, CONTRACTED WITH A COMPANY THAT SENDS DETAILED PASSENGER INFORMATION AND ARRIVING TIMES. TEXAS OFFICIALS, THEY SAY, SEND NO INFORMATION ABOUT WHEN BUSES WILL ARRIVE, HOW MANY OR WHO IS ON THEM. >> YESTERDAY, WE HAD TO RUSH TO GET FOOD, RUSH TO GET VOLUNTEERS, RUSH TO GET SPACE. THAT IS ONE OF THE MOST CHALLENGING PARTS, THE UNPREDICTABILITY. >> D.C. MAYOR BOWSER HAS TWICE REQUESTED NATIONAL GUARD

SUPPORT. D.C. NEEDS FEDERAL SIGNOFF. BOWSER WAS DENIED BOTH TIMES. D.C. CITY COUNCILMEMBER BREANNE NADEAU SAYS THE CITY HAS WELCOMED IMMIGRANTS BUT NEEDS HELP SUPPORTING THE INUX. >> I THINK WE ARE BEGINNING TO SHIFT FROM THINKING THIS IS TEMPORARY TO THE FACT THAT IT WILL CONTINUE, AND WEAN TO ENSURE WMEET NEEDS. IT IS NOT SUSTAINABLE FOR US. DO NOT HAVE UNLIMITED RESOURCES. >> IMMIGRATION IS THE REALM OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, BUT PEOPLE DO NOT LIVE IN THE FEDERAL GOVERNNT. >> THE DIRECTOR OF D.C.'S CENTRAL AMERICAN RESOURCE CENTER HELPS TO SUPPORT 20% OF MIGRANTS WHO CHOOSE TO STAY IN D.C. WHILE HE DISAGREES HOW THE BUSES STARTED ARRIVING, HE SAYS OTHER

CITIES NEED TO STEP UP. >> HE IS TAKING VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES AND AIMING THEM AT D.C. AND NEW YORK. IF YOU REACH OUT TO US, WE CAN DO A MUCH BETTER JOB. I WOULD WELCOME CONVERSATIONS WITH THE GOVERNMENTS OF TEXAS AND ARIZONA AND SAY, HOW DO WE GET PEOPLE TO THEIR FINAL DESTINATION? ALL OF US NEED TO PLAY A ROLE IN ENSURING THAT NEWCOMERS, IMMIGRANTS HAVE THE BEST OPPORTUNITY TO INTEGRATE. >> AT UNION STATION, 33-YEAR-OLD YASWMELI IS ONE OF THE LUCKY ONES. SHE LEFT HER CHILDREN BEHIND IN VENEZUELA. >> I SPOKE TO THEM YESTERDAY. THEY ARE HAPPY THAT I MADE IT HERE. IT'S >> AFTER A MONTH AND THREE DAYS OF TRAVEL, SHE IS WITH FAMILY ONCE AGAIN. THE NEXT STEP ON A LONG JOURNEY AHEAD. FOR THE PBS NEWSHOUR,

WASHINGTON, D.C. ♪ JUDY: TONIGHT WE REMEMBER A LEGENDARY NEWSMAN AND PIONEER, BERNARD SHAW. HE DIED FROM PNEUMONIA YESTERDAY AT THE AGE OF 82. >> THE NUMBER ONE CHALLENGE IS NOT JUST TO TELL YOU WHAT AND WHY THINGS HAPPENED, BUT TO EXPLAIN WHAT DEVELOPMENTS MEAN. JUDY: HE WAS THERE FROM THE EARLIEST DAYS WHEN CNN BEGAN AIRING AROUND THE CLOCK. BERNARD SHAW WAS CNN'S FIRST CHIEF ANCHOR. >> BERNIE WAS ALWAYS THE CONSUMMATE NEWS ANCHOR. JUDY: FORMER BUREAU CHIEF FRANK SAYS NO WORKED WITH SHAW STARTING IN THE 1980'S. >> THERE WAS BERNIE. HE CAME OVER FROM A BROADCAST NETWORK. THEY TOOK A GAMBLE ON THIS NEW DREAM THAT TED TURNER HAD THAT

THERE COULD BE 24 HOUR NEWS. JUDY: ALWAYS COOL UNDER PRESSURE, BERNIE COVERED SOME OF THE BIGGEST STORIES OF HIS TIME. >> I WILL NEVER FORGET HOW HE WAS ALMOST DOING PLAY-BY-PLAY AS THE CHINESE AUTHORITIES CUT CNN'S COVERAGE DURING THE TIANANMEN SQUARE CANDLE -- SCANDAL. >> I AM BEING TOLD THAT GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS ARE COMING INTO THE CONTROL ROOM NOW. JUDY: FROM THE MASSACRE AT TIANANMEN SQUARE, TO THE FIRST GULF WAR, SHAW WAS HOW MANY LEARNED ABOUT HISTORY MAKING DEVELOPMENTSROUND THE WORLD. >> I AM JUST CRUNCHING DOWN ON THE FLOOR TO GET A BETTER POINT OF OBSERVATION. THE SKY OVER BAGHDAD IS BLACK. YOU CAN HEAR THE OCCASIONAL TRUCK OR CARGO BY, BUT YOU WOULD NOT KNOW THAT THERE IS LIFE OUTSIDE. JUDY: SHAW ASKED HARD QUESTIONS

OF LEADERS AROUND THE WORLD AND POLITICIANS FROM BOTH PARTIES IN THE.S. IN A 1988 PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE, HE SURPRISED MASSACHUSETTS GOVERNOR MICHAEL DUKAKIS. >> YOU HAVE TWO MINUTES TO RESPOND. GOVERNOR, IF KITTY DUKAKIS WERE RAPED AND MURDERED, WOULD YOU FAVOR AN IRREVOCABLE DEATH PENALTY? JUDY: SHAW SET THE STANDARD FOR UNBIASED REPORTING. >> INTEGRITY FOR HIMSELF, INTEGRITY FOR THE NETWORK AND STORY. HE WAS SUCH A DEEP BELIEVER IN AMERICA AND THE ROLE THAT JOURNALISM PLAYED. ONE-OF-A-KIND. JUDY: THE FIRST BLACK ANCHOR FOR CNN, BERNIE WAS A TRAIL BLAZER, INSPIRING A GENERATION OF BLACK JOURNALISTS. >> DIVERSITY IS NOT RACIAL,

ETHNIC OR GENDER ENCROACHMENT. DIVERSITY IS OUR NATIONAL SURVIVAL. JUDY: TODAY WE REMEMBER BURNING SHAW AS A PIONEER AND ICON AMONG JOURNALISTS AND AS A DEAR FRIEND. BERNIE RETIRED FROM CNN OVER 20 YEARS AGO, BUT HE AND HIS WIFE LINDA STAYED IN TOUCH. I WAS FORTUNATE TO WORK ALONGSIDE HIM EIGHT YEARS THERE AS HIS COANCHOR ON A PROGRAM CALLED "INSIDE POLITICS" AND MANY OTHER VENTURES, INCLUDING ELECTION NIGHTS. HE WAS THE CONSUMMATE PROFESSIONAL NEWSMAN, A STICKLER FOR FACTS WHO HELD HIMSELF TO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS, BUT TOOK TIME TO APPRECIATE EVERYONE IN THE VILLAGE IT TAKES TO REPORT NEWS. HE WAS A PIONEER. AT A TIME WHEN THERE WERE FEW

BLACK JOURNALISTS AT HIS LEVEL, WHEN I THINK ABOUT THE TWO PEOPLE I WAS LUCKY TO SIT NEXT TO AS COANCHOR, FOR THE LONGEST TIME, BERNIE SHAW AND GWEN IFILL, I AM OVERFLOWING WITH GRATITUDE. WHAT A GIFT. THAT'S THE "NEWSHOUR. I AM JUDY WOODRUFF.
