wards. our thanks. your rewards. hello and welcome to all of

you watching us here in the united states, canada, and around the world, i'm kim brunhuber. ahead on cnn "newsroom", shock and heartbreak in the sporting world as american journalist grant wahl has died covering the world cup in doha. we are live with the latest. and arizona's kyrsten sinema is no longer a democrat, announcing her exit from the body. in the u.s., the flu, covid and rsv is surging. i'll talk to a doctor who tells us how worried we should be. >> announcer: live from cnn center, this is cnn in "newsroom" with kim brunhuber. prominent american sports writer grant wahl died covering the tournament. he collapsed during friday's match between argentina and the netherlands. world cup organizers say he fell

ill in the press area and received immediate medical treatment while he was taken to the hospital. it is remembering wahl for his insightful coverage and commitment to human rights. last month wahl showed support to the lgbtq community by wearing a rainbow shirt to a match but he was stopped by qatar guards before he could enter the stadium. here's what he said a day later. >> yeah. i arrived at the stadium. arrived through security. security didn't let me through. they told me i had to take off my shirt. i said i wouldn't. they detained me 30 minutes, would not give my phone back, angelie tried to get me to take my shirt off. i wouldn't. a commander of security came down after 30 minutes and let me

through wearing my shirt. they apologized. fifa apologized. fifa has made it clear there should be no problem with anyone wearing rainbow gear of any kind at this world cup. it is clear the qatar regime has other ideas. >> fifa released a statement saying his love for football was immense and reporting will be missed by all who follow the global game. darren lewis in doha. darren, it's hard to overstate how he was such a respected sports journalist around the world. look let's talk about the man himself. you knew him. what was he like? >> reporter: well, first of all,, kim, our thoughts are absolutely with his wife and all of his loved ones because this is a real shock.

we can find the words, kim, to describe and articulate so many things. but nothing prepares you for the loss of a colleague and a respected of the journalistic fraternity. that's what grant was. he was a wonderful man. he was kind. he was generous. he was fearless, as we have been seeing from his comments describing what happened when he wore that t-shirt to show his a hraoepbl answer and determination to fight for the lbgtq community. and he was somebody who had compassion. . there was a lot of bewildererment and tears today but a lot of shock as well. >> absolutely. he was as much an activist as a

journalist. and not just for sport but for social issues as well. >> reporter: yeah. he appreciated the platform that he had, the respect he was able to command. you were talking about the response of fifa to the t-shirt incident. it summed him up. he was a man able to get answers from the highest levels. he was a man who spoke truth to power. he was somebody who fought for migrant workers, human rights. he fought for the cause of u.s. soccer. but also all the things that surrounded it. but as far as he was concerned it wasn't just about what happened on the pitch. he was as much an advocate for ensuring that people could operate in safety in a group of respect right up until the last as it were he was somebody who was prepared to stand on his

principles. >> yeah. such a huge voice for social issues but also for soccer here in this country helping to grow it in this country. really appreciate your thoughts on grant wahl. more on this developing story later in the show. wnba brittany griner stepped off a plane in texas and taken to an army medical center to get checked out. she had been imprisoned the last 10 months on a drug charge but said to be in good spirits. she had been laboring at a russian penal colony where women make uniforms. she cut off her dread locks two weeks ago to better prepare for

the cold. >> reporter: this is the moment basketball superstar brittany griner stepped back on u.s. soil for the first time in 10 months landing early morning in san antonio, texas, and taken to brook army medical center, where trevor reed was treated after his release earlier this year. the defense department will offer post-isolation support activities. griner was said to be in good spirits on the journey back to the u.s. >> she's on the ground. >> stop it. >> yeah. she's on the ground. >> reporter: the white house releasing this new video of griner's wife and president biden moments after the prisoner exchange in abu dhabi. >> it's a good day. >> reporter: wnba coaches and players celebrate the release of one of their own. >> i think it is really a testament to their hard work, their energy, their commitment

to keeping b.g.'s name in the news. >> reporter: but the biden administration is also playing defense. >> it has made us weaker. it has made putin stronger and americans more vulnerable. >> reporter: that deal released notorious arms trafficker viktor b bout. >> nobody is doing backflips that he is back on the street here. i think it speaks to our understanding of our ability to defend our national interest that the president was able to make this deal. >> reporter: though they were not able to free paul whelan in exchange, a senior administration official says the u.s. is considering new offers to russia to help bring whelan home. >> i don't understand why i'm still sitting here. >> reporter: and despite strained relations over russian

president vladimir putin's invasion of ukraine, putin, not taking further exchanges, off the table. >> translator: this is the result of negotiations and the search for compromises. in this case compromises were found. we do not refuse to continue to do this is work in the future. stkphrrb the question is what will it take for the united states or russia to agree to another prisoner swap to get out paul whelan? u.s. officials grew frustrated because russia kept demanding something from the united states. they wanted a russian serving a life sentence in germany because of murder to be released. that's something u.s. officials said they couldn't do. so the question going forward is do the russians effectively and productively engage in future discussions with u.s. officials. kylie atwood, cnn, the state department. >> and paul whelan's family said

they are more determined than ever to fight for his release. his sister appeared on cnn earlier. here it is. >> it's been very difficult for my family to hear, my brother discussed as if his only value is what we would have to give up for him. i will be bearing down much more on the people that i have been working with because i don't want to see this happen again. >> his brother david said the biden administration made the right call in making the swap for griner. >> i think the white house is showing leadership and some people aren't able to cope with some displays of leadership. it brought an american home. that is what any american should expect the u.s. president to do. from that perspective, i think things have worked out the way they should. >> and he's hopeful that it will soon gain more traction.

the decision comes despite concerns from the justice department that trump might still have classified material in his possession. kaitlan polantz has more on what this means for the investigation. >> reporter: there was a long hearing on friday under seal over donald trump and the subpoena that he and his team have been sitting with for months now as the justice department is trying to make sure there are no federal secrets two years after he left the presidency. this hearing on the table today was whether or not donald trump would be held in context for not fulfilling that subpoena from back in may. and our reporting tonight from kristen holmes and sara murray, a federal judge didn't hold donald trump in contempt today. we also understand that both trump side and the justice department were urged to try and

find a resolution amongst themselves. right now this does not mean the end of the criminal investigation being led by jack smith. it's not even clear if this is the end of this dispute in court. we don't know much else from this hearing because today more than 12 members of the media and news organizations, national press and a lawyer that we were using to represent all of us, we tried to get into this hearing. we were asking the court for transparency to be heard, to open it up to the public. we know about the existence of the subpoena and the justice departments, many months of being dissatisfied with it. that was not going to be the case today. the media did not get to witness this hearing. it happened behind closed doors. and the attorneys left in the courthouse through back hallways after about 90 minutes. cnn, katelyn polantz, washington. a shakeup for democrats days after expanding their majority.

kyrsten sinema has left the party in favor of becoming an independent. the move suspect expected to change the balance of power. jessica dean reports. >> reporter: friday brought a bombshell for senate democrats. >> i have registered as an arizona independent. >> reporter: a moderate who wielded enormous power in the split sentence the last two years telling jake tapper she has left the democratic party and is now an independent. >> i'm not worried about people who may not like this approach. what i am worried about is continuing to do what's right with my state. >> reporter: she said she's not focused on re-election but on her constituents. her term is up in 2024. >> today's announcement is a reflection of my values, and i

think the values of most assistns who are tired of a political system that pulls people to the edges and doesn't reflect who we are as a people. >> reporter: sinema gave advanced warning of her announcement. she said in a statement on friday, she will keep committee assignments adding, quote, i believe she's a good and effective senator and am looking forward to a product i have section in the new democratic majority senate. we will retain our majority on committees, exercise our subpoena power. fellow senate democrats and the white house echoing that sentiment, saying the decision won't change much. >> if she were to say no, i am going republican. i'm not voting with them anymore, that is a whole different thing. that is nowhere near what she has said. she has tended not to go to the caucus meeting except rare

moments where he's advocating for something she cares b. that's not going to change either. >> reporter: they will have three independents now. plenty of democrats sharply criticized the move, though. gal gallego, a potential challenger should she run again in 2024, blasted the move in a statement saying unfortunately senator sinema is once again putting her own interests ahead of getting things done for arizonans. the democrats will still have a lot of the power that they get with that 51-seat majority. she will of course keep her committee seat. that does a lot to allow them to use that subpoena power to move nominees through the committees faster than they have been able to previously. this does bring a lot of questions around what happens in 2024 if sinema decides to run for re-election, will democrats

field another candidate against her. those are the big questions that will come into folks in the coming years. jessica dean,s cnn, capitol hill. ukraine may get a better fighting chance of drones from russia. plus, protesters return to the streets across iran making their voices heard despite the execution of a demonstrator one day earlier. that story and more after the break. stay with us.

first strike, russia being open to a first strike. listen to what he said. >> translator: in the u.s. there is a theory and practice of a prevent active strike. we don't. in our strategy there is a response to a response. there are no secrets here. what is a response to a strike? it's a response to a strike aimed at us. a response. if we talk about this disarming strike, maybe we should adopt that practice of our american partners. we are thinking about it. their idea of keeping themselves safe. >> reporter: it was deliberate and pointed. we are thinking about it. it should be noted that while nuclear doctrine describes them as a last resort, it allows them to be used in retaliation for a conflict involving conventional weapons if that is deemed to be an existential threat to russian territory. that is something to bear in mind. the context that came to this is

putin is headed with very little in terms of gains, an economy declining, reprising level of depression at home. he wants to leverage the power even if only by using these threats. >> yeah. not surprising but still troubling. thanks so much. clare sebastien, thank you. ahead, how a close colleague is remembering the life and legacy of grant wahl. and mourners in iran gathered friday at the grave of a demonstrator put to death by authorities. we'll have the latest. when they got a chip. they d drove to safelite for a same-day repair. and withth their insurance, it was no cost to them. >> woman: really? >> tech: that's service the way you need it. >> singers: ♪ safelelite repai, safelite replace. ♪

joins me now from san francisco. thank you so much, doctor, for joining us. you oversee millions of patients in california. give me a sense of how busy your hospital emergency rooms are right now. >> i'm going to tell you, this is the busiest we have ever been. >> including during the covid pandemic? >> that includes the covid pandemic. it includes the omicron surge. literally we have hospitals that are busting at the seams. we are at census in northern california of 3,500. just to put that in perspective, normally we run about 3,000. this try demmic of rsv, covid, flu is pushing the hospitals to our limits. >> i understand some hospitals

have had to -- have had patients sharing rooms and so on. how do you cope with the influx? >> we hired thousands of nurses in the wake of the covid pandemic. on top of that, we have done a lot of planning around additional beds. as you referenced, using hallways as necessary. we have opened up tents again just like we did with the prior se surges. my concern is we are going to see more. flu has gone up about a month earlier in the united states in california compared to what we normally see. we are predicting more over the coming month in december and january. >> why is that? these respiratory viruses, we

know. it happens at this time of year every year. flu and rsv particularly. now you are adding in the extra factor of covid. why is the flu and rsv so bad right now? >> i think what's changed, kim, is our behavior. the last couple years we were masking up, isolating. society has opened up the last several months. a lot of the viruses we were exposed to, flu and rsv, are back. we are getting exposed. a lot of us weren't as exposed to didn't give immunity from the prior years. we are just seeing increased activity. there's one other fine point i want to make sure, kim. we have a lot less people getting vaccinated. i have to make a plea to everyone out there. it's time to get the flu vaccine. it is not too late.

we're lagging in our numbers. whether it's children, pregnant women, and all other adults. you have to go out and get a flu vaccine. >> you just mentioned children. what is scary for so many parents i talk to is how many young children are in hospital as well. is that what you ever seeing? >> yes. it's been surprising to see the amount of our pediatric hospitals being literally full. and that includes our neonatal, as well as pediatric intensive care units. we have been on calls with our state colleagues, as well as other hospital colleagues, to manage the census across the entire state. so it's really requiring that level of coordination to make sure we can get everyone the care they need. >> for people out there, they are hearing about hospitals being full, patients having to go into hallways. they may not want to go into

hospital. maybe you can give people a sense because you're an infectious disease specialist as well. when should patients go to the hospital and when can they take care of themselves do you think? >> certainly what we want people to do is seek care when they need it. there are a lot of online resources. if you're looking for information, going to the cdc website, health care workers website, and if you're having problems making that phone call early. but the sometimes that should drive you to go into an emergency room if you're feeling short of breath, having trouble to cough, fever, not controlled with over the kourpbt remedies like tylenol, shoe seek care in your emergency rooms. the thing that i have got to say, though, kim, is prevention

is key here. avoiding congregate settings, washing hands, covering your cough. don't go to school. don't go to work if you're sick. and assess your own individual risk when it comes to mask wearing. if you're in a higher risk category, think about wearing the mask if you are going outdoors. >> essential advice for everyone watching out there. thank you so much. really appreciate it. >> thank you so much. according to the u.s. geological survey, the main floe from the mauna loa volcano. david culver introduces us to lava junkies >> reporter: seemingly
