One of the best-known sportswomen in America - basketball star Brittney Griner - has landed back in her home state of Texas after spending nine months in a Russian prison. Griner was jailed for carrying cannabis oil at a Moscow airport in February, but on Thursday was freed in a prisoner exchange. We speak to a colleague and friend of the WNBA star.

After Croatia beat Brazil in the men's football world cup, we speak to fans from both countries.
