guns since i was 12 years old, and i became a army ranger and i am a gun owner now and never wwas was it an issue. ar-15 until last couple years when the gun lobby wanted to sell more gungs that s when it became part of the dialogue. we need to stop the insanity and get back to reasonable discussions how to save peoples lives. the president is leaving it up to you, the white house is staying out of the capital negotiations on guns, is this speech a sign that s going to change the president s involvement, would you welcome the president s direct involvement? i would love the president s involve. he has been directly involved. he s pass the executive orders. the president is not a king, he cannot just fiat claim something to be the case. we have a system and it starts with congress to pass laws, house of representative ins in my time in congress we ve passed most of the major legislation and goes to the senate to die like most things do but we re going to go back next week
nation and called for a ban on assault weapons and high capacity magazines, but can the president convince the country do something this time. more celebrations today. the world is watching, the uk is watching, many of the members of the public have arrived here, this just the second day of four days of celebrations. this is a public holiday in the uk. how many public figures can command that in honor of their service. sadly the queen won t be appearing as planned here. reluctantly the palace said she s had to pull out, she suffered discomfort yesterday during the military commemorations in central london. and that happened through the day i understand from my sources and she had to pull out of today s service. it is quite a distance here, the service is very long and she is clearly overexerted herself. but prince charles will be stepping in for her which is pretty symbolic. she just can t do what she thinks she is able to do. the service marks the queen s years on the th
family gatherings inside the palace as well. and then she came back here to windsor where she did start out the celebration with the beacon lighting. and i was asleep. so it was very active and i don t think that it is concerning and hopefully she will be tuning into st. paul s cathedral today and that service and hopefully to cnn watching you, max. of course she s watching cnn. what else would she watch? let s speak to our historian kate williams. if yesterday was about the queen being commander of the british forces, today it is about being head of the church. and i think that is why the queen will be disappointed to his today because her faith is so important to her, it always has been. her role is not always what we think about when we think about the queen because we think about her opening of parliament, but it means so much to her.
i m sure that she wanted to be more available. it can t be easy, the fact that she can t walk very well, be disabled myself, i feel sorry for her. and to get out on the balcony to do her little bit, i think she s great. i love her to death. reporter: so there you have the people of windsor, very pleased i think that people saw her yesterday, all those thousands of people that turned out on to the mile to see her on the balcony. but i think that people will be pleased that she is hopefully having a day off, having a day of rest. watching it all on tv. max. good to see you, anna, didn t know we had the signal just to clarify. and of course kate is here, right in front of me. why does today matter? today is significant. we had a wonderful spectacular
there, right, because they re asking you questions about what happened. so you haven t been able to get home yet. do all your loved ones know you re okay? yes, yes. that s what s most important, you don t want to worry anybody. thank god you got out of there okay. as we know, these situations could be much worse, we re still trying to figure out how this happened and why. thank you to both of you for giving us a feel for what it was like inside the plane. thanks to frank and dominique. luckily, they re saying they didn t see people injured we re hearing at least ten have been as details come in, as to why this crash happened and what s going on now, we ll give them to you. right now, we re going to turn to the news the world has been waiting for, the birth of the royal baby. joining me now, max foster outside st. mary s hospital, i m surprised they haven t named this place after you at this point. max. what is the mood like now. all day people have been lined up waiting for this,
