A man convicted of first-degree murder for driving his car into counterprotesters at a white nationalist rally in Virginia faces 20 years to life in prison as jurors reconvene to consider his punishment.

The panel that convicted James Alex Fields Jr will hear more evidence Monday before recommending a sentence for Judge Richard Moore.

Fields was convicted Friday of killing Heather Heyer during last year's "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, organized to protest the planned removal of a statue of Confederal Gen. Robert E. Lee.

The 21-year-old Fields, of Maumee, Ohio, also was found guilty of injuring dozens of others by driving into a crowd of people who were marching peacefully after the rally.

S. Korea, U.S. hold talks on sharing defense costs for USFK - Duration: 1:59.

South Korea and the u.s. are discussing sharing defense costs of American troops

stationed on the Korean Peninsula they're trying to finalize a deal as the

existing five-year Accord from 2014 expires in a matter of weeks our econ

jung-woo tells us more South Korea and the United States are holding their 10th

round of negotiations of the year over the special measures agreement that is

sharing defense costs for the stationing of some twenty eight thousand five

hundred American troops on the Korean Peninsula from Tuesday to Thursday the

Allies will try to reach a deal which should take effect starting next year

the current five-year deal signed in early 2014 will expire at the end of

December one of the biggest bones of contention

is how much each side will have to pay under the existing deal Sall contributed

around 850 million u.s. dollars in 2018 alone to have US forces Korea on its

soil the last week The Wall Street Journal reported that President Trump

once sold to pay as much as double the current amount after the ninth round of

talks last month Seoul's foreign ministry said the two sides made some

progress in finalizing a deal but they're still in the process of

narrowing their differences in certain areas

another issue is Washington's demand that Seoul pay for a new category of

expenses called operational support which is for American troops outside the

peninsula this operational support includes the deployment of aircraft

carriers long-range bombers and nuclear submarines but South Korea is standing

firm that it will only contribute money to three areas which are payroll

construction and logistics as it has in the past led by ambassador Jang won some

the South Korean delegation will seek to strike a deal with the u.s. negotiation

50 Highest Paying Jobs In The United STATES - Duration: 2:06.

ow is a great time to look for a new job, and if you're looking for a career with

a high annual salary—let's be real, who isn't—we suggest you go into the medical

field.

Some of the highest paying jobs in the United States currently cover a wide array across

the medical field, from surgeons to nurses.

But if you have an aversion to treating sick people, don't worry, there are a ton of

other jobs with a high annual salary outside medicine.

Jobs in management, tech, and financial services rank particularly high.

The ranking of the highest paying top jobs in the United States comes from the 2018 U.S.

News and World Report 100 'Best Jobs' list.

They take into consideration information from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and focus

on seven key areas: median salary, employment rate, 10-year growth volume, 10-year growth

percentage, future job prospects, stress level (it's more important than you might think),

and work-life balance.

While some jobs might make more money (like professional athletes or just being Oprah

Winfrey), they, unfortunately, don't qualify under U.S. News and World Report's rankings,

and thus are not included on the list—sorry Oprah.

Notable jobs that didn't crack the top 50 are registered nurses (coming in at a median

salary of $68,450), accountants ($68,150 median salary), web developers ($66,130 median salary),

and patrol officers ($59,680 median salary).

If there's one takeaway from the top paying highest ranked jobs list, it's that if you

want to make a lot of money in the United States, you better be prepared to go to school

for a long time.

Many of the jobs, especially those in the medical field, require a minimum of 10 years

of schooling before you start earning money.

But when you do actually start earning money, you'll more than make-up for all you spent

on schooling, not to mention pleasing every mother ever (who doesn't want a doctor in

the family?).

These are the highest paying top ranked jobs in the United States.

Iran warns West of 'drugs and terrorism' lashing out at US sanctions - Duration: 5:04.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has warned of a 'deluge' of drugs, refugees and attacks on the West as he lashed out at 'unjust and illegal' US sanctions

Rouhani threatened on live state television: 'I warn those who impose sanctions that if Iran's ability to fight drugs and terrorism are affected

you will not be safe from a deluge of drugs, asylum seekers, bombs and terrorism.' President Donald Trump pulled the U

S.out of a multilateral nuclear deal with Iran in May and reimposed sanctions on Iran's vital oil industry last month

Rouhani is providing military support - including funding proxy terrorist groups - and sending oil to Syria's President Bashar al-Assad in his vicious civil war

Drug trafficking is a serious challenge for Iran which borders Afghanistan - the world's largest opium producer - and Pakistan, a major transit route for drugs

'We spend $800 million a year to fight drugs which ensures the health of nations stretching from Eastern Europe to the American West and North Africa to West Asia

Imagine what a disaster there would be if there is a breach in the dam,' Rouhani said

In 2012, Iran accounted for two thirds of the world's opium seizures and one fourth of heroin and morphine seizures, a U

N.report published in 2014 showed.'We have been just as determined in the fight against terrorism

sacrificing hundreds of valuable troops and spending millions of dollars annually,' Rouhani said

'We don't expect the West to pay their share, but they should know that sanctions hurt Iran's capacity to fight drugs and terrorism,' Rouhani added

At a meeting of heads of parliaments of China, Russia, and four other countries, Rouhani said on Saturday: 'Economic terrorism means creating horror in a country and create fear in other countries that intend to invest (there)

America's withdrawal from the (nuclear accord) is undoubtedly a clear example of economic terrorism

' More than 700,000 undocumented Afghans have returned from Iran this year as the Iranian economy tightens, according to data from the U

N's migration agency, and Iranian media said some Afghans were seeking to enter Turkey to reach Europe

Iran's huge landmass is the bridge to Europe for many migrants and drug traffickers, who move in from Afghanistan and Pakistan to the east and cross from the western border of Iran into Turkey and the Caucasus

Separately, Foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif was quoted as saying that the United States is selling more arms into the Middle East than the region needs, making it a 'tinderbox'

Zarif warned about the dangers of large U.S.arms sales in the Middle East, where Iran's regional rival Saudi Arabia is a major buyer of Western weapons

'The Americans have turned the region into a tinderbox.The level of arms sales by the Americans is unbelievable and much beyond regional needs and this points to the very dangerous policies followed by the Americans,' IRNA reported Zarif as saying

Severe storm continues dumping snow and sleet across US southern states US news - Duration: 3:34.

Severe storm continues dumping snow and sleet across US southern states US news

Harsh wintry storm leaves dangerously icy roads and hundreds of thousands of people without electricity

Harsh wintry storm leaves dangerously icy roads and hundreds of thousands of people without electricity

Authorities have urged millions of people to stay home as a lingering storm keeps dumping immobilizing snow, sleet or freezing rain across five southern states, leaving dangerously icy roads and hundreds of thousands of people without electricity.

More than 300,000 power outages were reported across the region, with North Carolina bearing the brunt of it, and nearly 270,000 remained without power Monday morning, according to poweroutage.us. South Carolina and Virginia, along with parts of Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee, also saw outages.

Hundreds of road accidents on snow-covered interstates caused major delays on Sunday, hundreds of flights were canceled and drivers in North Carolina and Virginia got stuck in snow or lost control on icy patches. But the commuters' nightmare provided pre-winter thrills for kids and the young at heart, who were able to go sledding and build snowmen in places that don't often see so much of the white stuff.

The National Weather Service said a "prolonged period of snow" began late Saturday and would last until Monday in the region, with the heaviest snow in northwest North Carolina and southern Virginia. Some areas of North Carolina and Virginia saw more than 1ft (30cm) of snow by Sunday afternoon.

Police in North Carolina and Virginia said they'd responded to hundreds of snow-related traffic accidents as of Sunday afternoon, as cars, trucks and tractor-trailers all struggled with the snow and ice.

North Carolina governor Roy Cooper strongly urged residents to stay off the roads, asking drivers not to put lives of first responders needlessly at risk. Cooper said emergency crews, including the National Guard, worked overnight to clear traffic accidents on major roadways.

"Stay put if you can," Cooper said Sunday. "Wrap a few presents, decorate the tree, watch some football."

Five members of a dive team searched the Neuse River in Kinston, North Carolina, for a missing driver Sunday after a tractor-trailer ran off a road and into the river, WRAL-TV reported. Police just outside of Charlotte said a driver died when a tree fell on a moving vehicle.

Governors and local officials in several states declared emergencies ahead of the storm crossing several Southern states, which hit portions of North Carolina and Virginia particularly hard.

Virginia State Police said Interstate 81 in far southwest Virginia was particularly dangerous, with snow coming down faster Sunday afternoon than crews could clear it. Police said several tractor-trailers slid off the highway.

Officials warned residents to prepare emergency kits and stay off roads in impacted areas. Several schools districts in North Carolina and Virginia announced they'll be closed Monday.

"Virginians should take all necessary precautions to ensure they are prepared for winter weather storm impacts," said Virginia governor Ralph Northam.

Charlotte Douglas International airport, the sixth busiest airport in the country, said American Airlines reduced its operations, with more than 1,000 flights canceled on Sunday.

American Airlines also issued a travel alert for nine airports throughout the Carolinas, Tennessee and Virginia, meaning passengers may be able to change travel plans without a fee.

Travelers were advised to check their flight status before heading to the airport. Cancellations were reported on flights from as far as the Midwest.

The U.S. Vision for a Free and Open Indo-Pacific - Duration: 4:28.

NARRATOR: The United States has a clear vision for the Indo-Pacific —

a region of nations that are sovereign, strong and prosperous.

DONALD J. TRUMP: A beautiful constellation of nations — each its own bright star, satellites to none.

NARRATOR: This is why the United States is committed to advancing an Indo-Pacific that is free and open.

Our approach to the Indo-Pacific focuses on three vital areas:

[TEXT: Economics … Governance … Security] economics, governance and security.

Trade and investment is at the forefront of our vision.

[TEXT: $1.8 trillion] The United States and the Indo-Pacific enjoyed $1.8 trillion in two-way trade last year.

U.S. investment in Indo-Pacific countries has more than doubled over the last 10 years.

[TEXT: $940 billion] The value of U.S. foreign direct investment reached $940 billion in 2017.

Attracting more and better private investment is the only sustainable solution to the Indo-Pacific's economic development needs.

State-dominated investment often carries hidden costs that hurt local economies and scare away smart money.

[TEXT: $26 trillion … 2030] Regional countries need $26 trillion in infrastructure investment by 2030.

The United States wants to work with partners, and with vital regional institutions like ASEAN,

[TEXT: $70 trillion] to help local economies attract more of the $70 trillion in private capital ready on the sidelines for opportunities to materialize.

[TEXT: Infrastructure … Energy … Digital Economy] To drive investment, we are launching new initiatives in infrastructure, energy and digital economy.

These will draw on all U.S. economic tools, development finance, technical assistance, capacity building, and more.

To spur U.S. collaboration with Indo-Pacific partners,

[TEXT: $60 billion] the United States also recently passed the BUILD Act, doubling our development finance capacity to $60 billion.

This will fuel enormous opportunities for growth in the Indo-Pacific.

[TEXT: Vivian Balakrishnan, Singapore Minister for Foreign Affairs] You see the impact the United States had in Asia.

The visionary and architect of this age of globalization, of free trade and economic integration, was the United States of America.

NARRATOR: The best opportunities, of course, are rooted in honest and transparent policies and practices.

That's what American companies have brought to the region for decades.

[TEXT: Mike Pompeo, U.S. Secretary of State] POMPEO: With American companies, citizens around the world know that what you see is what you get:

honest contracts, honest terms and no need for off-the-books mischief.

NARRATOR: The United States is partnering with Indo-Pacific governments to promote responsive governments, empowered citizens and strong regional institutions across the Indo-Pacific.

Underpinning it all is security, a regional order where the sovereignty of all Indo-Pacific nations — large and small — is respected,

and open sea lanes and airspace facilitate growth and prosperity.

[TEXT: Mike Pence, Vice President of the United States] The United States seeks an open Indo-Pacific, where commerce and culture flow freely,

where the seas and skies are accessible to all with peaceful aims, and where we embrace a future of endless possibility for all who call this region home.

NARRATOR: The United States is expanding security cooperation across the region.

In 2017, we provided over half a billion dollars of security assistance for the region,

which will strengthen information sharing and maritime security from the Pacific Islands to the Bay of Bengal.

POMPEO: The great theme of our engagement is this: Where America goes, we seek partnership, not domination.

NARRATOR: The United States supports the sovereignty and autonomy of all Indo-Pacific nations,

and we will oppose political and economic coercion and manipulation.

This is our vision, our chosen path.

A free and open Indo-Pacific is in the interest of all nations,

and the United States will work with any nation to make it a reality.
