11 dead in U.S. due to severe cold, East Coast braces for "bomb cyclone" - Duration: 0:45.

At least eleven people have died in the United States due to bitterly cold conditions that

have been gripping the nation since Tuesday.

They include five people in Wisconsin, one in North Dakota, one in Missouri and four

in Texas.

A rare winter storm hit the country's southeast on Wednesday, bringing Florida's Tallahassee

its first snow in three decades.

Northeastern regions are also bracing for what is known as a "bombogenensis" -- an area

of low pressure that drops significantly in 24 hours.

Weather authorities say this will lead to a bomb cyclone that will dump about six to

12 inches of snow in New England on Thursday.

The governors of Florida, Georgia and North Carolina have declared states of emergency.

South Korea makes case against proposed U.S. restrictions on washer imports - Duration: 0:52.

A South Korean government and business delegation appeared before a public hearing in the U.S.

on Wednesday, to make its case against proposed import restrictions on large residential washers.

They said the safeguard measures would violate World Trade Organization agreements and that

it could lead to increased import controls around the world... adversely affecting U.S.

exports as well.

The measures recommended by the U.S. International Trade Commission would affect LG and Samsung

washers and include a 50-percent tariff above a 1-point-2 million unit quota, and a zero

to 15 or 20 percent tariff on units less than that quota.

The move comes after a safeguard petition was filed by the U.S. manufacturer, Whirlpool.

President Trump will make a final decision by February.

Winter storm hits eastern part of U.S., causing at least 12 deaths in four states - Duration: 2:00.

A freak winter storm is slamming the eastern part of the United States,... causing at least

twelve deaths in four different states.

Park Ji-won has more.

An intense storm... packing strong winds and heavy snow... is hitting the northeastern

U.S., dumping piles of snow on the region.

The storm caused more than 27-hundred flight cancellations this week,... and CNN reports

that at least twelve people have died this week from the cold in four different states.

Six deaths have been reported in Wisconsin, four in Texas, one in Missouri and one in

North Dakota.

The National Weather Service forecasts that upto 40 centimeters of snow is expected to

fall in parts of New England.

"Snow covered roads, high winds, and the fact that this storm will bring two to three inches

of snow per hour will make driving hazardous and we are urging the public to please stay

off the roads tomorrow unless absolutely necessary and to use public transit."

The southeastern U.S. is also being affected by strong winter gusts and record snowfall.

Georgia has issued a state of emergency for coastal counties,... and South Carolina's

governor warned people to stay indoors.

"So don't drive if you don't have to.

If absolutely necessary, then drive, but otherwise don't.

And don't put the emergency personnel at risk because if you go out and something happens,

that means someone's going to have to come get you and that puts everybody at risk and

also takes them away from other tasks they need to be doing."

The stormy weather even brought snow to Florida on Wednesday... the first time snow has accumulated

since 1989.

Florida State University and Florida A&M University temporarily closed due to the severe weather

conditions.

N. Korea could conduct another ballistic missile test within this week: U.S. officials - Duration: 2:02.

Washington's UN envoy fears North Korea may carry out another provocation soon.

Reports by American media outlets also show a long-range missile could be launched by

the regime within days.

Oh Jung-hee has the details.

U.S. ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, told reporters... tougher measures need to be drawn

up against North Korea... should the regime conduct another ballistic missile test.

(English) 2134 "As we hear reports that North Korea might

be preparing for another missile test, I hope that doesn't happen.

But if it does, we must bring even tougher measures to bear on the North Korean regime.

// We will never accept a nuclear North Korea."

Her remarks come after some U.S. media outlets reported... that North Korea's getting ready

to conduct another missile test -- possibly later this week.

CBS News reported on Tuesday... that the North seems to be in the early stages of a launch

cycle for another intercontinental ballistic missile.

The activity was detected at the same site where the regime fired its Hwasong-15 ICBM

in late November -- some 30 kilometers north of Pyongyang.

And if there is to be a test,...

CBS reported... it's likely to be within this week or early next week.

Since last week, CNN has also reported... citing "multiple U.S. officials," that there

are new signs of the regime preparing for another missile test.

And it's not likely to be a satellite, but a ballistic missile.

Such signs come at a critical time on the Korean peninsula... when South Korea and all

the relevant parties in the region are trying to keep things calm... ahead of the PyeongChang

Winter Olympics to come in a month.

South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff dismissed the possibility of another missile test by

North Korea,... saying "there're not enough factors to back up reports from overseas."

Deranged Trump Takes Credit For Lack Of Airline Crashes In US In 2017 - Duration: 3:11.

If you flew on a domestic flight in the United States in the year 2017, you obviously made

it from your current location to your destination and back without dying.

And for that, you must thank Donald Trump, or at least that's what he wants you to do.

See, on Tuesday, after it was announced that there were no domestic airline crashes in

the United States for the year 2017 and that it was a great year for airline safety, Donald

Trump decided to tweet out the following: Since taking office, I've been very strict

on commercial aviation.

Good news, it was just reported that there were zero deaths in 2017, the best and safest

year on record.

So, he is trying to say that because he was so good with commercial aviation, because

he was such a good president, there were no airline crashes and therefore, he deserves

the credit for the fact that you made it to your destination safely, possibly delayed,

but unfortunately there's nothing that our messiah Trump can do about that.

Here's the funny thing, though.

Actually, since the year 2009, since the very early days of the Obama administration, there

have been no domestic airline crashes here in the United States by a major airline carrier.

That's just the way it is.

Air travel is getting safer, and do you know why?

Because of all of the regulations that have been put in place and all of the people looking

over the shoulders, and from every step from the building of the plane to the hiring of

pilots to the sleep schedule of pilots, is heavily regulated so that we can protect American

lives.

But at the same time, right now, Republicans in Washington, D.C. at the behest of Donald

Trump, are actually looking into those regulations to try to get rid of some of them to make

it a little easier for the airlines to make more money at the expense of our safety.

Donald Trump deserves no credit whatsoever for having no airline crashes in 2017, just

as Barack Obama doesn't necessarily deserve any credit for not having any major domestic

airline crashes during his entire eight years in office.

But the fact of the matter is, there are steps that the president, that Congress, can take

to make airline travel a little bit safer.

The Democrats did do that.

Obama did do that.

Donald Trump is actively trying to undo that along with his Republican colleagues in Congress.

They deserve no credit for anything because they've literally done nothing except try

to make this country a little less safe so that corporations can save just a little bit

more money.

WHY KINETIC ENERGY PROJECTILE OF U.S IS STRONG ANSWER TO RUSSIA'S TACTICAL NUKE? - Duration: 7:27.

Russia has taken major steps in augmenting their military prowess.

From new battle tank T14 Armata to developing the world's most powerful ICBM Sarmat, Russian

military is expanding its capabilities.

Russia has also been putting lot of attention on Tactical nukes.

To counter them, the U.S. Army is taking another look at a "devastating" weapon.The Kinetic

Energy Projectile, or KEP, is a tungsten-based charge moving at three times the speed of

sound that can destroy anything in its path.

It was first tested by the Air Force and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in 2013.

In this video, Defense Updates analyses WHY KINETIC ENERGY PROJECTILE OF U.S IS STRONG

ANSWER TO RUSSIA'S TACTICAL NUKE?

Why would the U.S. military, which has put untold billions of dollars into precision

weapons over several decades, need such a blunt and terrifying weapon?

The answer is to counter small nuclear weapons of Russia.

A tactical nuclear weapon (TNW) or non-strategic nuclear weapon is a nuclear weapon which is

designed to be used on a battlefield level military situations, mostly with friendly

forces in proximity and perhaps even on contested friendly territory.

This is opposed to strategic nuclear weapons which are designed to be mostly targeted in

the enemy interior away from the war front against military bases, cities, to damage

the enemy's ability to wage war.

Tactical nuclear weapons include gravity bombs, short-range missiles, artillery shells, land

mines, depth charges, and torpedoes which are equipped with nuclear warheads.

Also in this category are nuclear armed ground-based or shipborne surface-to-air missiles (SAMs)

and air-to-air missiles.

The yield of tactical nuclear weapons are generally lower than that of strategic nuclear

weapons, but larger ones are still very powerful.

Maj. Gen. William His, the Army's director of strategy, plans & policy, said "The Russians

maintain their tactical nuclear stockpile in ways that U.S have not".

Potomac Institute head Philip Karber, who helped write the Pentagon's Russia New Generation

Warfare Study, offered a bit more explanation.

While the United States retains just a few of its once-large arsenal of tactical nukes,

Karber estimates that Russia currently has anywhere from 2,000 to 5,000 of the weapons.

He added: "Look at what the Russians have been doing in low-fission, high-fusion, sub-kiloton

tactical nuclear technology.

It appears that they are putting a big effort…in both miniaturizing the warheads and using

sub-kiloton low-yield warheads."

By shrinking the warhead, one can shoot it out of a wider variety of guns, including,

potentially, 152-millimeter tank cannons.

Barber said ,"They've announced that the follow-on tank to the Armata will have a 152-millimeter

gun missile launcher.

They're talking about it having a nuclear capability.

And you go, 'You're talking about building a nuclear tank, a tank that fires a nuke?'

Well, that's the implication".

Though the use of tactical battlefield nuclear weapons, even very low-level ones, is not

part of official Russian military doctrine, but it is a capability that they are increasingly

eager to show off to intimidate neighbors and adversaries.

Barber added, "They certainly exercise the use of those weapons in many of their exercises,

including the one that participated in the parking of 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers on the

Ukrainian border right before the 2014 invasion of Crimea.

That coercive intimidation is a part of their design".

And while even Soviet generals may have shied away from using tactical nukes, Putin's

military is "a lot more inclined philosophically to see the utility of them.

Kinetic Energy Projectile is a super-dense, super-fast projectile that, operating free

of complex systems and volatile chemicals.

Whether dropped from the sky or fired from a cannon, the principle behind these weapons

is the same: hitting the enemy with something very hard and very dense, moving very fast.

The principle of the kinetic energy penetrator is that it uses its kinetic energy, which

is a function of its mass and velocity (K.E=1/2 Mass * Velocity* Velocity) to impact target with lethal effects.

To maximize mass KEP uses the densest metals practical, which is one of the reasons depleted

uranium or tungsten carbide is used.

Maj. Gen. His, said a few weeks ago at the Booz Allen Hamilton Direct Energy Summit "Think of

it as a big shotgun shell".

But unlike a shotgun shell, Hix said, the KEP moves at incredible speeds of "Mach

3 to Mach 6."

Randy Simpson, a weapons programs manager at Lawrence Livermore National Lab, explains

that kinetic energy projectiles are warheads that "take advantage of high terminal speeds

to deliver much more energy onto a target than the chemical explosives they carry would

deliver alone."

Mr His added: "The way that they] have designed it is quite devastating.

I would not want to be around it.

Not much can survive it.

If you are in a main battle tank, if you're a crew member, you might survive but the vehicle

will be non-mission capable, and everything below that will level of protection will be dead.

That's what I am talking about."

The kinetic energy projectile may become a staple of modern warfare soon as per most

experts.

The absence of explosive propellants to store and handle, as well as the lower cost of projectiles

compared to conventional weaponry comes as great advantage.

K.E.P will be used as an advanced conventional precision effects warhead for prompt strike

capability.

U.S and Russia has taken different routs in-terms of battle field level weapons.

The Russian are going with tactical nukes which will cause widespread destruction whereas

America is going with a more precise strike option.

For Russia, it makes sense as they already have a huge stockpile of tactical nukes.

From America's stand point, K.E.P fits well into the larger picture of augmenting precision

strike options with this highly destructive technology.

It remains to be seen how this duel pans out in the future.

Top 10 Best Places to Raise a Family in US - Duration: 10:49.

Top 10 Best Places to Raise a Family in US.

What makes a city a great place to raise a family?

Our list of the top 10 best places to raise a family in US include those that have low

unemployment, low crime rates, reasonable costs of living, and home prices that aren't

out of the range of most Americans.

Other important points, such as the best schools, plenty of parks and recreational spaces, and

the potential for growth were also included in compiling this list.

Which of these best places to raise a family in US are interesting to you?

Not all towns and cities are created equal.

Below are some of the best cities in the United States to raise a family.

1: San Francisco, California.

Though San Francisco is known for a very high cost of living, it pays to remember that the

paychecks in the area are very high, too.

The city has an inherent beauty that draws people from all over the world.

It also has a great number of recreational areas, serious educational opportunities for

all ages, and plenty of entertainment for anyone.

If the costs are too high, keep in mind that other towns are very nearby, and you can settle

down there and still take advantage of all the great things San Francisco has to offer.

2: Charlottesville, Virginia.

This is the quintessential Southern town, filled with great food on every corner, interesting

entertainment for all ages, access to some of the most beautiful natural recreational

areas in the country, and a broad exposure to the arts and sciences.

Thomas Jefferson called this home, and today the history is rich and clear.

Keep in mind that though this is the home of a major university and only a train ride

away from places like Washington D.C., Charlottesville retains a small-town feel.

3: Omaha, Nebraska.

Many people choose to settle here with their families.

Nebraska is chosen as one of the best places to raise a family in US because it has hundreds

of parks and green space to play in.

The sports fields stretch as far as you can see, and the neighborhoods are full of well-tended

cul-de-sacs where kids can ride their bikes without worry.

Crime rates are very low, the schools are top-notch, and the jobs are readily available

for hard-working parents.

Costs are well below the national average, unemployment is very low, and many major companies

call this area home.

There is also a zoo, a huge children's theater and much more.

4: Stamford, Connecticut.

Though this isn't a cheap place to live, the living is very nice for the price.

Stamford is home to many magnet schools that turn out productive winners in society, the

crime rate is virtually nonexistent, and the idyllic setting is perfect for weekend recreation.

There are big parks, easy commutes to places like NYC, and big wages for those who bring

home the bacon in the family.

In fact, this exclusive enclave is home to many millionaires.

5: Middletown, New York.

This town nestled in the Hudson Valley holds the distinction of offering an amazing amount

of money for education – in fact, Middletown spends more money on education than most areas

in the country.

It is also within an hour of Manhattan, which means parents can work in the big city but

still bring up their kids in a small town.

Zoos, nature centers, amusement parks, and over 34 state parks in the region make this

a great place for entertainment, too.

6: Suwanee, Georgia.

This gorgeous town just outside of Atlanta offers a top-notch education, plenty of green

space and a ridiculously low cost of living – a nice boost to those who earn a big paycheck

in the metro area before making the short drive home.

The schools are highly regarded, and the town makes a point of playtime for kids of all

ages, with a huge fountain meant for kids to wade in and a massive public playground.

Want more?

The Blue Ridge Mountains and all that recreational fun are a short drive away.

7: Madison, Wisconsin.

Just 80 miles from Lake Michigan, this is one of the top college towns in the nation,

and that higher education trickles down to the residents: more degrees, better elementary

and high schools, and more educated teachers are a great draw.

There is a very lively music scene, plenty of play places for the kids, green space,

and festivals and activities sure to delight anyone of any age.

8: Salt Lake City, Utah.

With a very short commute and plenty of jobs available for those who live in the area,

Salt Lake City lives up to its reputation for good living.

The city is astoundingly beautiful, surrounded by mountains, and the educational system is

driven by some of the most prestigious universities in the country.

The outdoor sports industry is huge, cultural experiences are thriving, and those who want

a more religious upbringing can find it here among the many Mormons who call this city

home.

9: East Grand Rapids, Michigan.

A whopping 44 percent of all families here have small children, so it's no surprise

that the public school system is one of the best in the nation.

This enclave is home to numerous parks, plenty of green space, and all sorts of museums and

other fun.

The shore of Lake Michigan is just 30 minutes away, making for an easy day trip on the water.

The costs of living are ultra-low, and the average paycheck is ultra-high.

10: Reno, Nevada.

The median household income might be low, but so is the cost of living, and jobs are

abundant – especially in the casino industry, which pumps money into the economy.

It's a huge outdoor recreation area, offering year-round play in the mountains and green

spaces that have become a hallmark of this town.

It has a small-town feel, but the casinos and downtown areas give it all the pizzazz

of a much larger place.
