om to all of our viewers watching around the world. on cnn newsroom, shock and heartbreak in the car. dies after collapsing at the world cup, how friends and colleagues are remembering him. plus, home at last. basketball star finally back on american soil. and we are learning new details about what it took to bring her home. and nuclear fears rising once again after vladimir putin posed the idea of changes to rush's nuclear doctrine. live, from cnn center, this is cnn newsroom, with laila harrak. we begin this hour with shocking news from the world cup. an american sports writer has died while covering the tournament from qatar. he collapsed in the press area

are during friday's match between argentina and the netherlands. details of his death are not known right now, but he says he visited a clinic on monday, and he wrote in his newsletter, that same day, chest discomfort", my body finally broke down on me after three weeks of little sleep, stress, and work took a toll. last month, the wall was briefly prevented by qatari guards at the statement tournament, for wearing a rainbow short shirt in support of the lgbtq community. soccer pasta bs governing body of the united states, u.s. soccer, is remembering him as an's an inspiration, who believed football could advance human rights. let's get more from cnn. don, what more have you learned about what exactly happened, and have we heard from the authorities in qatar?

>> hi, , we haven't heard from authorities in qatar yet, to be honest we are still processing this news. he was a friend and a peer and a colleague to both of us. he sat in this chair just a few weeks ago. and he is somebody that we saw all of the time. he was on our show, on cnn, all the time. and, i mean, it is just absolutely hit us we were covering the same game last night, the netherlands against argentina. i left the stadium and went to bed, and just discovered that he didn't make it home. i mean, darren, how do you process this news? >> well, don, my thoughts are with his wife and his loved ones. and the instinctive reaction is very similar to what you have been saying, that he died doing what we've been doing over the past three weeks, working to the same kind of schedule that we've been working to over the past three weeks and as you

rightly said, as leila has been saying he was much loved, he was respected, he was highly regarded, and so it is very difficult at this present time to process this news that he had gone to a game and will not now come home. >> yeah, let's just bring you up a quote from the major league soccer commission, who spoke of his kind and caring nature, and he described his passion for soccer, and his dedication to journalism is immeasurable. we both knew grant as somebody who was an amazing sports writer, not just in soccer, but his reporting was fearless, one of my favorite stories about him was back in 2011, just a few months after the decision was made to award this world cup to qatar, he launched a presidential campaign to run for fifa, which is just an astonishing thing to do.

and it was really a reporting check to highlight the corruption within fifa. he really got under fifa's skin, and it is notable that, at this tournament, he was the guy wearing the rainbow shirt, and he wasn't allowed into the stadium. he is the guy who took a photograph of the logo of this tournament, when he went to collect his accreditation badge and these things. he was taken aside by security and told to delete the image from his phone, which was just absolutely preposterous. we have spoken about, and i can't believe we are talking about this in the past tense, darren, to be absolutely frank with you. what did he do for the growth in developed of soccer in the united states? >> well, we were talking about this on air, as well as off air. for me, when i think people looked at u.s. soccer she worked tirelessly to grow the game and you only have to look

at some of the attributes that he has had from athletes past and present from soccer clubs, and to know the esteem in which he was held he evangelized from u.s. soccer, he was someone who can passionately about what he did. and i don't mind saying on air, when i was working on local journalism at sports illustrated, grant was flying the flag, he was an icon. for the young black guy in england, wanting to get into this industry grant was a leader and sometimes when you see leaders they don't just have a presence, but they stand for something principle, compassion ideas, and you look at the ideas that he worked on migrant workers lgbtq community, and that is all grant. and is the reason why so many journalists, english journalists, wake up this morning in sheer shock and

disbelief, because i can't believe he is gone. >> and i think some of us still don't know, this 10:00 a.m., locally. i've been following other soccer writers in europe who have been waking up and tweeting about the game they covered today. it is obvious they don't even know. they just don't know. >> it is exactly that. he said how has it happened. and some of the broadcast outlets in the uk are just learning of this news and they are devoting huge amounts of time because the grant had that profile that he was renowned in england as well as here and in the u.s. >> he began covering soccer passionately in the united states when it was very unfashionable to do so. 20 years ago the game in the united states was not at the level it is now. i suspect, darren, in the coming hours and days, the conversation will lead to the cause of death and how he came to find himself in this

predicament. he had been writing and talking about the fact that he was sick. he had been writing and talking about the fact that he was burning the candle at both ends, which i think would be an understatement. and you and i know that covering this tournament is a lot of fun. it is a privilege. but it is tiring. can you speak to kind of the hamster wheel that he must've found himself on covering this tournament >> i texted you a couple of days ago to check how you are, because we were there the other day and it has got to me, because it is so convenient here, because you are never more than half an hour, 45 minutes away from a stadium, that is unprecedented at a world cup, in russia, four years ago you had to take a flight to moscow, and then to the city, where the world cup is held in four years time it won't be in canada, the u.s.

and mexico. you will be getting flights everywhere. here you are never more than a metro right away from another stadium. so you can do two games, maybe even three in a day. a lot of them are taking the ability to do that it is a privilege to be at any world cup let alone the first in this region. >> we are very fortunate to be here. and, you know, we do get sick. it happens. we are not complaining. >> no. >> what you don't think you are going to die from it. and i think that is just something that we are really coming to terms with. darren, thank you so much for your insight. i know this is a difficult day for many of our us and our peers in the industry. back to you. >> thank you both so much. don riddell and darren lewis. now, to wnba star, brittney griner is back home in the u.s. it has raised hopes about

paul whelen and other detained americans being in other deals. rush's president seems to be leaving that possibility open. greiner stepped off of a plane unassisted early friday in texas and was taken to an army medical center to get checked out. she had been imprisoned in russia for the past 10 months on a drug charge, but was said to be in good spirits upon her release. she had been laboring at a russian penal colony near the women inmates, where the women inmates make uniforms. her attorney said britney greiner cut off her long dreadlocks two weeks ago to handle the extreme cold. we get the latest now from san antonio texas. we are absolutely gratified that any greiner is back on american soil. >> welcome news today on britney greiner's return, we can

confirm she arrived at joint pace san antonio. britney greiner now in her home state after nearly 10 months in a russian prison. most recently, serving her nine year sentence in a russian penal colony. and there is new information about her life there. greiner says she cut her long hair two weeks ago and trimmed it to make her life easier during the russian winter, and her attorney there says she was unable to do the sewing work she was assigned at the penal colony, due to her large hands, and because the tables were too small to accommodate her joe biden's spokesperson think she appears to be in good health. >> she was incredibly gracious, and kind, and humble on the flight, very appreciative to get her home. >> reporter: griner is now undergoing a medical evaluation before being united with her wife , cherelle griner, the rest of her family. a senior biden administration official saying gauche negotiations to bring her home were separate from any talks to ukraine. the deal came together about one week ago after the u.s.

offered to swap arms dealer, viktor bout, for both griner and paul whelen. he was detained in 2015, convicted on espionage charges and sentenced to 16 years in prison, a charge he denies. he rejected that proposal. >> it was either make this exchange, get one back, the only one they were willing to trade was britney. >> president biden didn't sign the pages for viktor bout until britney griner was on the ground in abu dhabi, inside of a u.s. delegation. russian president, vladimir putin, saying the security service took charge of the swamp , adding there is a possibility for further negotiations. raising hopes that paul whelen could be the next american freed. for now, britney griner's family, friends, and teammates say they are just happy to have her home. >> we are incredibly grateful she is back.

>> cnn, san antonio texas. a u.s. federal judge has declined to hold the president, donald trump, in contempt of court, for failing to turn over classified records. while that is according to two sources familiar with the matter, they tell us that the judge, instead, urged trump's legal team in the justice department to resolve their differences. and fbi search of trump's home in mar-a-lago and unlocked scores of documents. and while trump's lawyers have since turned over some additional document, the justice department is concerned that trump might still have more classified material in his possession. a shakeup for senate democrats, just days after expanding their majority. arizona senator says she has left the party in favor of becoming an independent. but the move is not expected to change the chamber's balance of power. and democrats are downplaying

the impact it might have. jessica dean reports. >> friday brought a bombshell for senate democrats. >> i registered as an independent. >> arizona senator kyrsten sinema. who wielded modest power telling cnn's jake tapper she has left the democratic party, and is now an independent. >> i just, not worried about folks who may not like this approach. but i am worried about is continuing to do what is right for my state. >> reporter: following her announcement,for talked with a food bank on friday, saying she's not focused on reelection, but on her constituents , her term is up in 2024. >> today about this announcement is a reflection of my values, and i think the values of most arizonans, who are tired of a political system that pulls people to the edges, and really doesn't reflect who we are as a people. >> reporter: kyrsten sinema gave senate majority leader,

chuck schumer advance warning on friday, schumer said, in a statement, she will keep her committee assignments adding, quote, i believe she is a good and effective senator, and i am looking forward to a productive session in the new democratic majority senate. we will maintain our new majority on committees, exercise our subpoena power, and clear nominees without discharge votes. fellow senate democrats and the white house echoing that sentiment was saying kyrsten sinema's decision won't change much. >> if she were to say, no, i'm going over republican, i am not voting with them any more that is a whole different thing. that is nowhere near what she said. and she has tended not to go to the caucus meetings, something she said. so i am not telling something out of school. except for rare moments where she's advocating for something she cares about, and that is not going to change either. >> reporter: practically, democrats will maintain their majority with three independence now. 20 of democrats have sharply criticized the move though.

arizona representative, ruben, a potential challenger to kyrsten sinema, should she run again in 2024, blasted the move in a statement saying, quote, unfortunately, senator kyrsten sinema is putting her own interests ahead of getting things done for arizonans. in the end, this won't do much to change the day-to-day operations here, in the senate, the democrats will still have a lot of the power that they get, with that 51 seat majority that she will, of course, be keeping her committee seat. so that does a lot to allow the democrats to use that subpoena power to move nominees through the committees a lot faster than they have been able to, previously. what this does bring about a lot of questions around is what happens in 2024 if kyrsten sinema decides to run for reelection. will she run as an independent? will democrats run against her? those are the questions that will come into focus in the coming years. jessica dean, cnn, capitol hill. ukraine may get a better fighting chance against iranian

ukraine will get a boost for its defenses against iranian drones that have been wreaking havoc on its energy system. on friday, the u.s. announced a new batch of military aid, which includes capability to fight drones like these. russia has fired more than 1000 drones and missiles on its energy facilities over the past two months. the last wave of strikes came on monday, taking a number of power plants off- line. well, now ukraine says it is working to repair the damage and restore electricity to critical infrastructure like water plants and hospitals. in the east, ukrainian officials say russia is making an unprecedented push on the city offive. they are also raining artillery fire.

volodymyr zelenskyy says the damage russians leave behind is staggering. >> for a long time there is no living space left on the land of these areas that has not been damaged by shells and fire. the occupiers actually destroyed bahmut, another donbask city that they turned into ruins. >> rush's president, putin, is taking his nuclear saber rallying to a whole new level. on saturday, he said russia might abandoned its nuclear doctrine, which says moscow will not use nuclear weapons first. he made the comments during a visit to kursk is done. >> in the west there is a theory, even a practice of a preventative strike. we don't get in our strategy there is a response to a

strike, there are no secrets you. what is a response to a strike? it is a response to a strike aimed at us. a response. maybe we should adopt that practice of our american partners. their ideas of keeping themselves safe. we are thinking about it. >> let's get you more now. we are joined by clare sebastian, from london. clear, what should we read into the russian president, vladimir putin, for the second time this week floating this possibility that russia may formally change its military doctrine of not being the first to use nuclear weapons in a conflict? >> yeah, layla, i think this is just the next phase in rush's nuclear saber rattling, which has been one of the hallmarks of this conflict, really from the first speech he gave announcing it on february 24th, saying the world should prepare itself for consequences, the likes of which they have never seen. it has been increasing, fair to say, when ukraine's counteroffensive really began to bear fruit. the worst rush's fortunes on the battlefield, the higher the risk of saber rattling.

the u.s. has said that russia has been warned in the strongest terms, of the consequences of using nuclear weapons, but the context of this is that russia and putin is heading toward the end of the year, with no major gains to celebrate in this war, a declining economy, an increasing level of repression at home, and one of the ways that putin can protect power is to extract the rhetorical power of his nuclear arsenal and continue to make these threats. so, i think that is the context in which we should see this. >> well, at the same time, while he's making these threats, president putin has potential future prisoner swaps between the united states and russia. >> yeah, not entirely surprising. we have seen, obviously two so far this year. trevor reed, back in the spring, and of course, britney griner. that is an exceptionally high frequency , in terms of historical precedents, to see two in the space of a year, and it speaks to the fact that this is politically expedient for

president putin at home. viktor bout is being painted in the russian media as a victim, a patriot, it is really a victory to bring him home and to avoid a swap to the u.s. to put on the table, back in the summer. going forward the question is what about paul nealon, conspicuously left out of this swap. it is a difficult case, he, himself feels he has been treated differently, bill richardson, the former new mexico governor, he has been so instrumental in brokering these swaps so that he has been trying for four years, it is very difficult, in the case of paul nealon, perhaps because he has been tried and convicted of espionage in russia. but, certainly, russia says that it continues to consider the prospect of further talks, further conferences, and we know that the u.s. is working very hard on a potential solution for paul whelen. >> thank you very much. well, after iran carried out its first known public execution of a protester,

shekari is the first known public execution associated with iran' us protest movement. isabel has details, but we must warn you, some of these images may be disturbing. >> reporter: the reaction to the news that mohsen shekari had been hanged . the howl of a relative, as he became the first protester to be executed in iran in the three months of demonstrations. he had been arrested on september 25th, one of thousands since taken into detention. just 75 days later he was executed. the first protester hanged, likely not the last. >> why the iranian authorities choose him as the first victim, i think it has got to do with the fact that we didn't know so much about him, that his name wasn't so known. >> reporter: it was the death in the custody of the morality police of discontent that has

only widened and deepened. posing the greatest challenge to iran's regime since the 1979 islamic revolution swept the slick strict islamic interpretation to power. >> mahsa amini was a young girl who was just a normal, young girl, but also a kurdish girl. so, in so many aspects she represents iranians who have been treated as second-class citizens. >> across iran this week, a strike called by protesters, and on wednesday, protests at several universities. inside to on university, they blamed the united states for what he described as riots. outside protesters chance. tehran's response to the anger

welcome back to our viewers in the united states and canada, i am brynn gingras five, you are watching cnn newsroom. u.s. is facing a triple threat as the holiday season gets underway in earnest. from influenza to the rsv respiratory virus, and covid 19. the cdc says the u.s. has currently far more or fewer cases than it does at this time of year. the number of communities with high covid transmission is all right also increasing. the first week of december saw the highest death toll from covid in two months. in the meantime, children's hospitals have been especially hard-hit by cases of respiratory viruses, like rsv. pediatric hospitalizations are now slowing, but remain high. the cdc also says more than a third of total flu related hospitalizations and deaths were reported during the week after thanksgiving. cnn health reporter, jacqueline, has more on this flu season. >> collectively remains higher

cost the country right now. and here are the latest numbers. so far, due to the flu, at least 30 million people have been sick, 120,000 hospitalized and more than 7000 deaths from the flu have been reported, and 21 of those reported deaths have been in children. according to the cdc, all but seven states are experiencing high, or very high levels of respiratory virus activity right now, and in new york city, health officials have issued an advisory, saying that everyone should wear masks, when indoors in public, even if you have gotten your flu shot, or had flu before. the advisory also lists other prevention measures, like washing your hands frequently, staying home when sick, and of course, getting up-to-date on your vaccinations. back to you. >> well earlier i asked viral researcher, jorge, why the so- called triple to make has been

taking many healthcare workers by surprise. here is what he said. >> it is taking us by surprise because usually the viruses come sequentially. you have influenza, a surge, this year they are all happening at the same time. and they are all happening at greater numbers than we are used to. so, unfortunately it is a perfect storm of two respiratory viruses, and if you throw in the surge of stars, which is the covid virus, we are seeing hospitals that are approximately 80% whole on the average of the united states and upwards of 90% in some specific state that counties. >> all right, those are incredible numbers. what can you tell us about what is happening in california, where you are? >> well, where we are, los angeles county is probably, if not the most populous county. so, what we are seeing is we have already surpassed the benchmark that puts us in a very high infectivity level.

we are seeing over 200 people getting infected, per 100,000. that doesn't sound like a lot, but we are 265, that is one of the benchmarks that have to be reached before the county says, you know what? indoor masks are mandatory. the hospitalizations, we are seeing hospitalizations increasing to levels that we have not seen in months. that is what is happening here. and it is the height of the holiday season. which means that people are going to be congregating indoors with their family, with their children, and that is just going to lead to a greater search, so we think that in the next couple of weeks l.a. county is going to enforce an indoor mask mandate. >> and that was dr. george rodriguez, you can catch my full interview with him in the next hour. a community, near fort worth , texas, is in shock and disbelief after a young girl

was allegedly killed by a fedex driver, who had just delivered her christmas present. the girl's mother is now calling for fedex to impose stricter screening of its drivers. the suspect in this case has apparently confessed that the strangled-- that he strangled athena strand, after he accidentally hit her with his truck. cnn's josh campbell has the chilling details. >> reporter: we are learning new information about the death of a 7-year-old girl, near fort worth, texas, november 30th. police say the 7-year-old, athena strand, went missing from her driveway. her family called police, there was an extensive search of the area, and as part of that investigation, police determined that there was a fedex package delivery at the time of her disappearance. they contacted the company, they were able to identify that specific truck. police say that there was surveillance video inside the footage that actually showed this young girl inside the vehicle with the driver. that contract fedex driver, 31-

year-old, tanner horner, was arrested, he has now been charged with capitol murder, as well as aggravated kidnapping. i will a part of the arrest warrant affidavit. they say the defendant stated, when he was backing up his fedex truck, he accidentally hit athena with the truck, but she was not seriously injured. he panicked and put her in the van and strangled her with his bare hands in the back of the fedex truck. now, we have made multiple attempts to get in contact with this attorney, he's being held on a bond of $1.5 million. this family, and community, obviously devastated by the alleged murder of this 7-year- old girl. i will read you a post from her mother on facebook. she writes, she, athena, was born to change my world, and she has. let her unexpected and inexcusable death be change, let her beauty be the reason we make this world more beautiful, let her life that she brought into this world grow brighter in her name. a truly tragic situation here in fort worth texas.

josh campbell, cnn. police in north carolina say they have received hundreds of tips about a deliberate attack on the local power grid that knocked out power to thousands of customers. crews have now restored power to some 45,000 homes and businesses that were in the dark for days. authorities say whoever shot up two facility stations with a high-powered rifle, quote, knew exactly what they were doing. it follows similar attacks of power grids and other parts of the country. law enforcement sources say domestic extremist groups have been promoting the attacks in online forms, with details on the system's weaknesses. a strong storm system is moving over the western u.s. right now. it is not alone. take a look at the winter weather alerts. parts of the winter northwest, the rockies, and the central plains are all looking at
