Summary
The sports world continues to mourn American soccer journalist Grant Wahl, whose body was returned to the U.S. after he died while covering the World Cup in Qatar. Although whatever caused his sudden death remains a mystery, his family hopes that a pending autopsy will give them answers.
Over half a million people have signed a petition calling for New York Governor Kathy Hochul to grant clemency to Nikki Addimando. She's been in prison since 2017 for fatally shooting her longtime partner, which she claims was self-defense.
And in headlines: Iran carried out its second execution tied to the mass protests over Mahsa Amini, China rolled back more of its strict “zero Covid” policies, and scientists have reportedly achieved a major clean energy breakthrough.
