7:32 am
t.j. is here with the latest for us. good morning. >> good morning. we have to go back to february 17th. that was when brittney griner was detained in russia. since then her detention has been extended now four times. the first time was for two months. the second time a month. the third time 18 days and this time as you mentioned it has been extended for six months, on charges of bringing in hashish oil cartridges or as russia puts it, large scale drug transportation. that trial for her set to begin friday. another setback for wnba star brittney griner now held in russia for more than four months. a russian court has extended her detention another six months, pending the outcome of her trial which is set to begin friday. appearing for the first time in court monday, the 6'9" griner seen here unhasked and handcuffed to a prison guard, surrounded by security, as she's escorted into the pre-trial hearing in moss couple of her lawyers gave a brief update about how she's doing.
7:33 am
>> how does she feel? >> she's fine. she's fine. >> in a statement, reps tell abc news the fact remains in the u.s. government has determined that brittney griner is wrongfully detained and being used as a political pawn. on february 17th, she was detained on suspicion of drug smuggling at a russian airport. one official says they confiscated vape cartridges containing hashish oil illegal in russia and punishable up to ten years in prison. the international case faces an uphill battle since fewer than 1% of the defendants in russian criminal cases are acquitted. russian authorities have not said how much of the cannabis based product she had on her at the time of the arrest. overnight her mercury coach and teammates continue to voice their support. >> it's tough. every time we're reminded of their teammate, their friend wrongfully imprisoned in another country and hopefully biden will take the steps to ensure that she comes home. >> and the trial is expected to
7:34 am
go maybe a couple of months but like we mentioned her detention at least extended for the duration of that trial, and we always start the stories with wnba star brittney griner but we might as well start it with american citizen brittney griner. there are some 40-plus american citizens who are considered wrongfully detained by the state department at places around the world and working to get them all home. >> keep them all in mind. you're right about that, t.j. thank you. joining us is our chief legal analyst dan abrams. fewer than 1% of defendants in russian criminal cases are acquitted. >> i want to be very careful here and not do sort of straight sober legal analysis here. because this is a show trial. this isn't real. i mean i can sit here and tell you, facing up to ten years, et cetera, a and treated as if that is a real sentence. none of this is real at this point. she is now being held as a political prisoner. and it is clear to me that if russia weren't engaging in this sort atrocities that it's
7:35 am
engaging in, in ukraine, we would all be talking about this a lot more and saying what an outrage this is, the problem is russia is engaged in so many outrages right now, that it's tough to keep up. >> this is what is so, there are so many who are outraged, in the basketball community, her family, and others, but you're right, it is not receiving the attention that it normally would. wrongfully detained. the u.s. state department, you know, reclassifying, saying she is wrongly detained. what kind of options are on the table here, dan? >> that's a big deal. that's a big development. what it means is the tate department isn't going to sit and wait for it to work its way through the quote-unquote legal process. typically someone is arrested abroad, the state department will say let's see what happens, let's evaluate after we see what the courts do. and here, they're saying, this isn't real. exactly what i was saying before. this isn't a legitimate trial. she is being wrongfully detained and as a result, she gets treated more like a political prisoner and now you're talking about the possibility for example of a prisoner swap. >> how likely is that?
7:36 am
>> look, it depends on what is on the table. the russians have made an offer that i think is ridiculous at this point in terms of what they're asking for. >> which is? >> what they're asking for is, you know, this killer, who was captured in thailand, in 2008, tried to kill american citizens, facing 25 years, in prison, and she was talking about, whether it's true or not, hashish oil. it is very hard to make that sort of comparison but i will tell you i think that the government is toing treat her the way she is, an american star, and yes, she is an american citizen but she is also, you know, someone who in any other context, we would be saying, an olympic hero, is being held right now, in russia, and i think it will be treated as such, and the question is going to be do the russians get real in terms of what kind of trade could be made for her. >> you can understand why the family and friends are -- >> maddening. absolutely maddening for them. based on what they're seeing. and these developments, we will extend it by this much and you

8:13 am
period, six weeks to maybe six months, but this study looked at what's happening one year and not just for women, but for men for the dads, as well, and they found super common rates of depression at the one-year mark up to 25% and less than 10% of pediatricians are screening for this. we know that that can affect the child's nutrition, emotional state and have ripple effects throughout the household. >> but you said they're very limited screenings for this. >> right. >> so what are some of the specific warning signs to look out for? >> well, i will tell you, michael, in general in the postpartum period anxiety and depression can be very, very extreme. but there are a list of signs and symptoms that people should be on the lookout for, even up to a year, anxiety about the baby's health and care and routine, a gloominess that persists for at least two weeks, a numbness when support from loved ones, friends and family is offered, and then increased or heavy use of drug and alcohol and higher irritability anger
8:14 am
levels, these can all be signs or symptoms. >> you're an ob/gyn and you see patients and their spouses dealing with this all the time. what kind of advice do you give for treatment options? >> first is that there is help available and that extends to the entire family unit. there are more treatments than ever. obviously for extreme cases medication is the foundation and is safe and effective, but then there's individual and group therapy, online support groups getting daily exercise, absolutely helps and this should be continued for as long as necessary. there's no time limit on this. >> before you go yesterday the american academy of pediatrics, they updated their guidance on breast-feeding so for the first time in a decade, so what do you have for moms? >> first, that the american academy of pediatrics says breast-feeding exclusively is recommended for at least six months. now there are new recommendations more in keeping with the advice of the world health organization which supports a mom who chooses or wants to breast-feed in addition to giving the baby food for two
8:15 am

8:16 am
each rate increase credit card aprs are going up so you could see the latest rate hike show up in your current billing cycle. >> give us an example here. how much is this going to cost people? >> it has a significant impact so let's say you carry the average credit card balance of $5,525 and you're paying 20% apr. if you're only making minimum payments, that's about 2% of the balance. it will take you, wait for this, more than 58 years to pay off your credit card and it will cost you almost $25,000 in interest if the apr jumps to 21%, it's going to take you 76 years to pay down and you'll pay more than $34,000 in interest, whit. >> so, for those of us who don't have 76 years, what can you actually do to keep that from becoming a reality? >> well, and because we know that rates are rising, this is only going to get more expensive. the first thing you can do is stop taking on new credit card debt. you want to put together a budget and then apply any disposal income to paying down your debt and focus on making larger monthly payments, the difference between $50 versus
8:17 am
$100 towards your monthly bill can be years and thousands of dollars in interest. >> rebecca, we've heard people asking about this. what about transferring your balance to one of those 0% apr cards. should people consider that? >> it could work. but there are a lot of caveats. first, you have to qualify then you have to make sure that the benefits outweigh the costs. many cards charge a balance transfer fee of about 3% and most importantly, this cannot be an incentive to take on more debt. zero interest apr, it lasts for a set amount of time, usually about a year or two max, and you have to keep making payments on time, whit. >> got to have a plan, rebecca, thank you so much as always, robin. now our new series, finding the positive in the negative. all about channeling complex emotions into your own personal superpower. i love the sound of that. so this morning we're focusing on regret. and how it can actually be a force for good in your life. always a force for good in our lives, deborah roberts here with more. good morning, deb. >> too kind. good morning. i don't know about you but i

8:20 am
the chance, moral regrets, which are if only i had done the right thing, and finally connection regrets, regrets about the full gamut of relationships in our lives and doing nothing when they drift apart. >> you say regret can be positive and useful if done correctly. if handled correctly. >> exactly. >> how do we handle it? >> the way i look at it is a three-part process, inward, outward, forward. inward, when we make a mistake and screw up the way we talk to ourselves is brutal. so don't do that. treat yourself with kindness rather than contempt. that's hugely important. something called self-compassion. >> reporter: next, pink says outwardly disclosing your regret by writing or talking about it can help you make sense of it and then move forward. >> you have to explicitly draw a lesson from it. the single best decisionmaking tool i know of is to ask yourself, what would i tell my best friend to do? >> reporter: with those ideas in mind cheryl took a leap of faith and sent an email to her old friend jen. so, jen, you get this email from cheryl and what did you think?
8:21 am
>> i was thrilled and i'm like, is this really cheryl? and the best part about it is that cheryl and i connect at least once a month. it's on our calendar and to have that like reconnection and just like honest friendship that is so authentic and important. >> what do you say to other people out there who might be feeling like they should have, could have, would have done something and they didn't? >> you're always, always better off to show up. if you don't show up, then what's possible is it lasts forever. >> and boy did they show up. jen says clearly's boldness in reaching out actually inspired her to do the same and reconnect with other friends that she had drifted apart from. so one email sparking positive changes and there's a lot of power, we learn now, in something we come to view as negative, including, robin, fear, as uncomfortable as it sounds, it can actually make you stronger. i'll tell you about that tomorrow.
8:22 am
>> and grief as well is another one that you're going to get into later this week. >> a lot of people dealing with that especially now so it's very pertinent. >> i love what he said about self-compassion. >> you know, how we speak to ourselfs in we beat ourselves up all the time. that's what makes us fearful of this, embrace it and deal with it. >> you'll be here all week. >> looking forward to it. >> ginger. >> i'm inspired. i'll go ahead with weather and find the positive in the negative. the negative, it's hurricane season, 30% chance of this becoming something. either way it will bring a lot of rain, we're talking about three to five inches starting thursday through about friday. the good news, or the positive within there, severe to extreme doubt around houston so there are about five plus inches below average for the month alone. that will change that. we're also watching a couple of other areas of interest that look like they'll stay more in the central

"consumer reports" rating vegan ice creams for the first time. >> looking at only 14 products is that there's no one formulation. the base can be any -- a variety of different plant milk, almond, cashew, coconut, oat or not even a plant milk and just a coconut oil and one was made with avocado oil. >> reporter: its top pick chosen for its balance of taste and nutrition is nada moo, which has a coconut milk base and a smooth texture but slightly gummy. i don't think i'd know that this was plant based unless you told me. rounding out the top three, oatly with, you guessed it, an oat-based milk. light and creamy at the same
8:25 am
time. and a brand called cado, that's made with avocado, what? does not taste remotely like guacamole. this is good. but when it comes to nutrition don't think of these nondairy ice creams as health foods just because they're nut based. >> look at the added sugars and you also want to take a look at the added salts and added fats. >> reporter: two-thirds of a cup of breyers milk-based chocolate ice cream has 180 calories, 11 of the 14 brands of nondairy ice cream that "consumer reports" reviewed had more calories than that. should people be looking at the labels? >> this is what i say, if you are going to have ice cream, sit down, have a bowl, enjoy it mindfully, and i would say the exact same for this. >> reporter: but for the nondairy ice cream crowd, summer is suddenly a lot sweeter. in my opinion, all of the nondairy options i tried had a slightly different base flavor than ice cream made with cow's milk.
8:26 am
that subtly affected the expression of the chocolate taste. the "consumer reports" tester agreed with that too. if you're wondering about price shopping online we found breyers nondairy and regular milk ice cream priced the same, $3 for a quarter and a half, but many of the other vegan brands are more like gourmet ice cream and cost a little more, nada moo and oatly were $5.99 for a pint and cado was 5.29. avocado ice cream, i know you're running out to buy it right now, michael, aren't you? >> you know, nada moo, give me the moo. >> keep the moo. >> but if that's your thing, enjoy your vegan ice cream. >> thank you, becky. coming up, our thing is "wandavision" star elizabeth olsen and her husband robbie arnett are here to talk about their new children's book. new children's book.
