after those peak hour attacks last monday. kyiv mayor vitali klitschko telling me a little bit earlier the city is angry, but not scared. despite the terror once again unleashed by putin in the heart pof the capital. robin? >> angry but not scared. britt, thank you. the u.s. and nato are beginning nuclear drills today and take place amid russia conducting its own nuclear exercises. our chief foreign correspondent ian pannell is also on the scene in ukraine for us. good morning, ian. >> reporter: good morning, robin. this is the latest salvo from russia in the escalating aerial war against ukraine. over the last few days we've seen increasing use of drones and missiles against various targets around the country. this as tensions between russia and america continue. this morning, as the ukrainian capital is attacked again nato kicks nuclear training exercises in europe. nuclear training and drills taking place in three spots

involving 14 countries with up to 60 aircraft including u.s. b-52 long-range bombers. russia is holding its own nuclear drills this month. likely to also include live missiles like previous years. vladimir putin stoking nuclear fears recently over u.s. and nato support for ukraine.

this is how the russian state is sponsoring terror. it's looking for killers in prisons and promises them freedom if they kill again. this as russia admits two volunteer soldiers from an ex-soviet nation attacked one of their own military bases over the weekend when new recruits were training leaving 11 russian soldiers dead, 15 wounded. well, vladimir putin clearly having problems domestically but here on the ground in ukraine. up until a few weeks ago this town was occupied by russia but the ukrainians are advancing, the russians are retreating and that's why we're seeing putin resorting increasingly to the use of drones and missile strikes against innocent civilian targets. t.j.? >> ian, thank you as always. we turn to the deep freeze settling into several northern states and some are bracing for a foot of snow or more. our alex perez is in chicago. i caught a shot of you before we put you on tv. you were bouncing around trying to stay warm so i guess that's an indication of how it feels in chicago this morning. >> reporter: yeah, it's that time of the year, once again,

t.j., here in chicago and in much of the midwest we are waking up to the coldest temperatures of the season so far. now, many across the region are coping with flat out and in some cases record-breaking cold temperatures to start the workweek. snow and lots of it. check out these images. that will be the big problem in the upper peninsula of michigan where they are bracing for possibly more than a foot of snow between today and tomorrow and the cold blast expected to spread south. freeze watches and warnings across some 12 states, cities like denver, to nashville to pittsburgh all on alert. some good news, looking ahead here in chicago and other cities, this coming weekend we could see temperatures much warmer than usual. t.j.? >> all right, alex, thank you. help us make sense of that, ginger. talking about how cold it's going to get, but the weekend is going to be beautiful. >> yes. it's that time of year where the

jet stream is trying to figure it out. it's going to get cold, but beautiful by the weekend. it's one thing i call my parents and it's freezing, it's another if you're calling your family down on the gulf coast, robin. that's what this is about. how deep the cold gets this early so i called it an upper cut because i thought it would go so deep to the gulf coast. that's what it will feel like. yes, cold here, st. louis feels like 19, milwaukee, 18. 30, though, for jackson. by wednesday morning we're talking about the depth of the cold so this is for wednesday, not right now but those freeze watches will become warnings down to pascagoula or mobile, places that this time of year, doesn't happen that often. we could see dozens of record lows broken. here we will be moderated but still it's coming. george? >> still pretty chilly. ginger, thanks very much. we get the latest on the midterm elections just over three weeks away and the stakes are high in georgia where the senate race could determine which party has control. our congressional correspondent rachel scott is in atlanta, site of debate showdowns over the weekend. good morning, rachel. >> reporter: hey, george, good morning. yes, this race was already contentious but in the final stretch it has taken a sharp turn.

warnock insisted his rival has a problem with the truth. >> one thing i have not done, i've never pretended to be a police officer. [ cheers ] and i've never -- i've never threatened a shootout with the police. >> you know what is so funny, i am what many police officers -- >> reporter: walker has falsely claimed he worked in law enforcement. he hasn't. the staunch anti-abortion candidate was also confronted about allegations he paid for a woman's abortion. >> that's a lie and on abortion, you know, i'm a christian. i believe in life. >> reporter: this fight now drawing intense national focus with the democrats' razor thin majority in the senate hanging in the balance but that's not the only highly anticipated face-off. tonight georgia's republican governor brian kemp -- >> we're in the fight for the soul of our state. >> reporter: -- and democratic

challenger stacey abrams -- >> i am running for governor because i am fighting for you. >> reporter: -- will take the stage ahead of a heated rematch this november. in 2018 stacey abrams lost to republican governor brian kemp by fewer than 55,000 votes and as for that moment on the debate stage this morning, herschel walker's campaign tells us that what he showed was an honorary badge. once again, walker is not a trained police officer. george? >> so much at stake in that election. okay, thanks very much. robin? george, now to the deadly fire at a notoriously brutal prison in iran as anti-regime protests have been sweeping the country. now in their fifth week. among the prisoners two americans and the state department has expressed urgent concern about their welfare. our chief global affairs correspondent martha raddatz has that story for us. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning, robin. this morning families in iran and here at home are desperate for information about loved ones inside the evin prison. many of them political prisoners and protesters who have been standing up to iran's oppressive

government. the fire was massive. this video posted by local activists recording the explosions and volleys of gunfire reverberating from the hillside prison above iran's capital. iran's government allowing state tv to see the charred aftermath saying eight prisoners who they described as robbery suspects were killed and more than 60 suffering smoke inhalation. the iranians blaming a fight between prisoners for the blaze, but with restrictions on the reporting, it is nearly impossible to know the extent of injuries or the cause. among the thousands of prisoners inside, iranian american businessman siamak namazi and emad sharghhi. both accused of spying. this morning their families saying the two men have been reportedly moved to a secure area in the prison and are safe. the state department making clear iran is responsible for their safety and are following

reports from the prison with urgency. outside the prison angry protesters lighting fires of their own as the rage in iran's streets mounts. the protests following the death of mahsa amini, who died in police custody after being arrested for violation of iran's strict dress code for women. more than 240 protesters have reportedly been killed in the police crackdown. [ speaking non-english ] iran's ultra conservative president blaming the u.s. saying, it is our belief that america is behind the majority of destruction, terror, riots and chaos in the region and the world. but the u.s. has made very clear america stands with the protesters. those protests are only escalating in iranian towns and cities and beyond. for the first time ever an iranian female athlete representing her country in a climbing competition in seoul appeared without a hijab,

something that iran requires of its athletes even outside of iran. robin? >> all right. and martha, we know that you have been traveling to iran for many, many years and you're familiar with that prison? >> reporter: i am, robin. it's impossible not to notice the massive barbed wire fences that surround it up in the mountains. you're never supposed to photograph it or even turn a camera toward it and, of course, the stories from inside over the years are truly frightening which makes these protests even more courageous, robin. >> really does. always appreciate your reporting, martha, thank you. t.j.? we turn to new details on that mass shooting that left five people dead in north carolina. our elwyn lopez is in raleigh with more, including the latest on the 15-year-old suspect. and, elwyn, righ now, people are still trying to figure out a motive here. >> reporter: yeah, that's right, t.j. the first deadly gunshots rang out in this neighborhood spreading terror and chaos. now it's a place where neighbors are coming together. they are praying, dropping off

>> good morning, robin. it is a good morning, at least for yankee fans like myself, the yankees are still alive staving off for now a surprise postseason elimination at the hands of the cleveland guardians. no extra lives for the top two teams in the national league. the l.a. dodgers won 111 games in the regular season. the padres sent them home. the braves won 101 games and won the world series last year. they will not win it this year. the philadelphia phillies basically ran up the score on them to knock them out. and over in the american league, the astros swept the mariners in three games but in four games worth of innings. game three the first postseason game in seattle in two decades went 18 innings on saturday. a 1-0 win for the astros. the postseason format is different this year. six teams from each league made it. the top two in each league got o st f dodgeanif the yankees lose will be three of the top four teams in major league baseball done for the the championship series.

i just wish that justice obviously is served, that he gets what he has coming to him. i mean, i don't know, whatever that may be. i don't think -- and it will ever be enough if that's -- i mean that's just how i feel. >> reporter: a seventh shooting victim, a woman named natasha latour, survived being shot in april of 2021. >> i ran towards him knowing i would have to get closer to the street if i wanted to survive. >> reporter: natasha said a good samaritan called 911, but says police didn't take her case seriously. >> they basically treated me as if it was a drug deal gone bad. throughout this process, throughout this whole -- ever since april, ever since i got out of the hospital, it was a constant, me trying to reach them. basically five people died because they didn't listen to me. >> reporter: we reached out to the stockton police department for a comment, but we have not heard back. according to authorities, police tracked brownlee down as he was allegedly prowling the streets of stockton for his next victim armed with a gun. >> we watched his patterns and determined early this morning he

buyers, beware. some major retailers are adjusting their shipping return policies, making free returns a thing of the past. >> i just was kind of surprised. >> reporter: online shopping soared during the pandemic but so did returns. the national retail federation reporting $218 billion worth of online purchases were returned in 2021. more than double the year before. >> all signs point to the era of free returns probably coming to an end in the near future. they're costing retailers millions of dollars every year and that's because shipping has gotten more expensive and labor has gotten more expensive as well. >> reporter: business insider reporting many shoppers do what's called bracketing, buying the same clothes in different sizes and colors, then returning what they no longer want and doesn't fit. h&m announcing on a recent earnings call they will test a fee to ship back returns in certain markets.

traffic areas like your local shopping mall and there are a number of brands partnering with this company called happy returns that let you drop your return off in person for free and they send it back in a big bunch and save money on the return and you also do. t.j.? >> return bar. >> return bar. >> and happy returns, it sounds like something else initially there. >> many happy returns, t.j. >> but there is a benefit here that most of us wouldn't think about, right? >> the environmental impact of all of this shipping as well as the returns, it is costing the environment huge amounts right now. all of this returned merchandise or a lot of it can end up in landfills and 180 billion of those little bags, you know, the plastic bags and tough comes in are created every year and only 15% are recycled. you're doing the world a service by not returning and thinking ahead. >> okay. >> or we could just go into the store. >> i notice how you said you online shoppers.

>> one thing i have not done, i've never pretended to be a police officer. [ cheers ] >> you know what's so funny, i am with many police officers. >> reporter: walker has falsely claimed he worked in law enforcement. he hasn't. the staunch anti-abortion candidate was also confronted about allegations he paid for a woman's abortion. that's a -- >> that's a lie. on abortion, you know, i'm a christian. >> reporter: and, of course, that's not the only highly anticipated face-off. in just a few hours brian kemp will take the debate stage against democratic challenger stacey abrams. this is a heated rematch. she lost by fewer than 55,000 votes in 2018. t.j.? >> rachel, i guess crow better set up an apartment there. you'll be there for a while. thank you so much. we want to turn back to weather talking about the deep freeze settling into several northern states and some bracing for a foot of snow or more.

♪ nice morning in times square. back with our cover story. it's a major change in the health care field. for the first time ever americans will be able to buy a hearing aid over the counter without a prescription and rebecca jarvis is back. this has been developing for some time. congress passed a bill to allow sales back in 2017. >> but now we have the fda saying that this is clear. and so the way it used to go,

you had to go be screened by a licensed professional in order to even purchase a hearing aid and by many estimates, not all of the people who would benefit from them were using them. about 30%, just 30% of people over 70 were using hearing aids who would benefit and just 16% of people under 70, this is supposed to be something that removes some of those barriers and also makes it more affordable. >> how much cheaper? >> well, significantly cheaper. so, again, under the old way of doing things it used to cost upwards of $5,000 to have a hearing aid with these new fda rules in place, president biden and other estimates suggest you could be saving up to $3,000 and the starting price point of hearing aids is now going to be about $200 so significant savings. >> that is a huge difference. so where can people buy these new hearing aides? >> they can go and get screened and fitted for all this from walgreens to walmart to best buy. you can comparison shop too now at places like

hearingtracker.com and soundly.com so you know you can get the least expensive option and best buy and the w.h.o. offer a service online where you can get screened and get that hearing test online so you don't have to pay for it in person. >> rebecca jarvis, thanks very much. robin? now to one match, second chance. our ongoing series about the importance of bone marrow donation. ten years after one saved my life, my doctors, doctors roboz and giralt are here, can't wait to talk to them but first how an important advancement in donation helped save a young woman's life facing an aggressive blood cancer. >> i was working full time, mother to a 3-year-old child and i found myself getting increasingly tired. >> reporter: in the blink of an eye, kirsten discovering her life-changing diagnosis. >> he came in and just said, you have leukemia and you're very sick. >> reporter: kirsten at 34 needing a bone marrow transplant with no suitable adult matches including her own sister, ors am

sloan-kettering suggesting another way. >> it was a sense of relief. we have a chance for a family to be all together again. >> reporter: when the option of a cord blood transplant was proposed to us, we didn't know what it was. >> reporter: cord blood, a rich source of stem cells collected from the umbilical cord and placenta after a baby is born helps improve odds for a match. it's what gave kirsten a second chance at life. >> we are transplanting a neonatal immune system and that immune system allows us to be able to transplant cells that are not a perfect match to the patient. it is frozen in public banks. that allows us to be able to transplant patients urgently. >> reporter: this is

particularly significant for people of color who are least probable to find a donor. only 29% likely for african american patients. >> treatment technology such as cord blood transplantation is going to be incredibly important for us to be able to level the playing field and extend transplant access to patients regardless of their ancestry. >> reporter: while she has made a full recovery, she is now spreading awareness on the growing options available. >> i'm six years out of transplant and i feel great. the fact that the technology was there for us is something that i will always, always be grateful for. >> so incredibly happy for her. dr. gail roboz an oncologist and director of the clinical and translational leukemia program at cornell and dr. sergio giralt is an oncologist at the malignancy division at sloan-kettering in new york. that's a mouthful, but you're a dream team. so great. i know. to see you fully clothed.

these are faces, beautiful faces of those who have received a bone marrow transplant, much like i did and i was so blessed that sallie-anne, my sister was a match and was really astounded that only happens 30% of the time that a family member is a match so then you have to go to the registry or other options like this cord blood transplant. what, dr. roboz, does this mean for your patients? >> an incredible advance because, look, we can't find donors for or couldn't find donors for a lot of people so cord blood allowed us not only to expand the donor pool but it's more than that. there might be some aml or acute myeloid leukemia patients where cord blood is better. it's to actually make transplant better, safer and more accessible which is tremendous. >> i'm amazed sometimes. i'll meet somebody on the street

and said they had a transplant like two weeks ago or something like that. you were doing these transplants, dr. giralt. i remember when you had the syringe in my room and were going, go, sallie, go, but talk about the advancements made in the transplants in the last ten years. >> over the last ten years thanks to people like you who participated in clinical trials, a lot of patients who have participated in clinical trials we've made major advances. when you had transplants you had to have a fully matched donor or fully matched cord blood. that's no longer the case. we now have technology that allows us to do mismatch related and makes participating in be the match even more important where a much more diverse population than we were ten years ago and need more and more young donors. >> you had to have that perfect match and that's not the case, the science, the technology has really advanced, hasn't it, gail? >> not only that, it's also the drugs that we use in addition to the transplants. there have been incredible,

incredible changes in how we deal with things like graph versus host disease or complications related to transplant. even beyond the initial matching process, the advances are tremendous and i'll tell you, most people don't actually know you're not definitely cured if you get a transplant. the assumption is if you get a transplant you're definitely cured except that isn't the case and now we're doing things like manipulating the transplants or using medications even after transplant to prolong remission, keep people in remission and ultimately get more people out to where you are at ten years. >> i know. i'm so incredibly thankful to you both. let's talk about those that are doing the doning -- donating. i remember sister sally-ann when she was having stem cells collected. have there been advancements in that regard as well, sergio. >> there's been significant work doing the graft, right. the collection process is more or less the same.

we either do a bone marrow or stem cell the way sally-ann did. after the cells are collected we're working to either make that graft better so that your recovery is quicker or make that graft more effective so there's a less chance of the leukemia or mds coming back. the donation is much more or less the same. we're trying to make it easier for the donor. what's interesting is whenever we've asked donors, they've always come back and said it's been one of the best things they've ever done in their life. >> my sister said she felt it was the reason why she was born. yeah, yeah. >> it is incredible. >> it's an easy process to find out if you can be a donor. >> it's an easy process. >> can you show how simply swabbing the inside is? >> this is possibly only harder on live tv and because i have to look at camera 5. >> okay. >> other than that, so here's the swab. you're not supposed to eat for an hour or drink for about an hour. no problem there and mouth

should be dry which is easy on live tv. i'm going to swab and you talk. >> okay. >> so tell them -- that's a simple process like that. >> it's simple and, rear, the one thing we ask donors when you swab you swab to commit that when you're called you'll be there. it is painless. the donor collection process is really fairly straightforward. you either give yourselves shots and then the cells are collected as if you're donating blood or in a certain case we do a bone marrow under general anesthesia but the most important thing you are saving a life. >> i know and it was very simple for my sister as well. you wanted to say something about donating the cord blood. >> yeah, i mean i think i don't want to mix people up. we're talking about adult donors and talking about cord blood and you can do both. you can be an adult donor and sign up for be the match but if you're having kids, think about donating a cord to one of the cord blood banks and that's a simple conversation actually to have, i donated both of my children's cords, by the way and it's a process that is simple for mom to do and another way to be part of the bone marrow

transplant cure and miracle so we're trying to have happen here. >> i can't tell you how many times over the last ten years i hear from people who are patients of yours and so grateful to how you treat them. dr. gail roboz, dr. sergio giralt, wonderful to see you. >> we've literally gotten hundreds of thousands of donors to replenish the pool and thank you. >> it's the wonderful "gma" viewers. you can swab too. scan the qr code on your screen to be the match to save lives. tell us you've done your part with the #gmaswabtosave. ginger. >> so beautiful, robin. i want to give you an update. many spots along the mississippi river are approaching record lows. this is include drone video from the mississippi river at memphis. one of the spots where we're seeing impacts to shipping and beyond.
