Suddenly you had the time to do all of the things you really want . Nightly news begins now. From nbc news World Headquarters in new york, this is nbc nightly news with brian williams. Good evening, brian is off tonight. Im lester holt. Theres word tonight the pentagon is drawing up military options to respond to this weeks atrocities in syria, as the white house is under increasing pressure to act. The horrible images of lifeless civilians as what the rebels say were killed by chemical weapons. As the u. S. Officials are trying to confirm the nature of the attack nbc news has spoken to one of the doctors on the ground treating the victims. He says the world is ignoring them. Lets get to chuck todd. Is america about to get involved in syria . Reporter looks like in some form we may do just that. The president seems to be on the verge of ordering some sort of military response in syria. The question is, what does that military operation look ke . Right now the president s closest advisers are divided on the options that are in front of them. It is these heartwrenching images of out sere ysyria, victims of brutal chemical weapon attack that accelerated the debate in washington. We are gathering information on this event. What we have seen indicates this is a big event. Of grave concern. Reporter just how grave becoming more clear tonight. In an exclusive interview, ann curry spoke to a doctor inside of syria treating some of those victims. Died violently while sleeping and died hungry. Doctor, after this experience, what is your message to the outside world. Chemical weapons is a shame on the face of humanity. I cant imagine that the International Community cannot do anything except meeting and promising. Is in the truth . Is this real . Reporter the president is considering a very narrow range of military options. Boots on the ground or a nofly zone, both are out of the question. What is on the table limited air strikes, most likely cruise missiles launched from Navy Destroyers targeting military command posts and while the u. S. Is still gathering evidence, emotions are high. Quite powerful and clearly something that hassen been the president said repeatedly the use of chemical weapons by Bashar Alassad would cross the red line and the pictures prompted senior officials to consider specific military responses even as the president preaches caution. Sometimes what we have seen is that folks will call for immediate action, jumping in to stuff that does not turn out well. Reporter but demand to do something is growing. When does the united states, with very little cost, stand up for these people . Reporter one pentagon official told nbcs jim miklaszewski, if the president wants to send a message, we are good at sending messages. If he wants regime change we are not able to do that easily. Key president ial aides are split of how to respond. As the debate has developed over months, mcdonagh. Kerry softened until the latest pictures emerged and issed a zero kating an aggressive response. But nothing happens until there are two things that are determined. Number one the u. S. Gets actual proof that assad used chemical weapons. They are trying to do that. Second, they need to have a legal justification. Lester, for instance, in libya, there was a u. N. Resolution to enforce. Here in syria, right now, there is nothing like that on the table. All right. Chuck todd leading us off tonight. Thanks. Now to the war at home and the battle of wildfires. Tonight the massive mobilization of equipment and manpower we have been witnessing across the west the last few weeks is on the move to california and what has become the countrys most dangerous wildfire. Officials say the blaze fought at the edge of yosemite has taken top priority having just exploded in size since our report last night. Miguel almaguer is there and is surveying the damage for us. Reporter good evening. The moonscape spreads for miles. So far 106,000 acres have been charred and the fire is growing larger and larger every minute. To put that in perspective the burn zone is three times the city of san francisco. Today the blaze is moving in multiple directions. The inferno has already crept in to Yosemite National park. For now have it remains 20 miles from Yosemite Valley one of the countrys greatest treasures. A wall of flames, the rim fire is on the run in nearly inaccessible terrain. It shows no sign of slowing down. Overnight, quadrupling in size, the inferno is now closing in on 165square mig 165square miles. The biggest challenge is the weather itself. The 40,000 foot columns are unreal. Whipped by gusty canyon winds the california governor declared a state of emergency, opening the door for additional help. We are reaching out. Canada offered up five of their crews today. Reporter more than 2,000 firefighters are here but they are losing ground. Even the air attacks cant slow this blaze. If you watch those trees spontaneously burst, not one, ten, 15 of them, it is pretty frightening. Reporter we found strike team charlie, the Tactical Unit of 16 trying to defend their hometown. When conditions turn in firefighters favor like the wind right now they are able to set backfires to make the blaze close in on itself to suffocate itself out. The work shift will last 36 hours and then a break where they will sleep in the dirt. Get pretty tired but you do what you have to do. Reporter safety first, this is dangerous, even deadly work. Why didnt you put firefighters down there and i say why didnt you put your children down there. Would you .

The fire danger continues in to the weekend across a huge part of the country where suddenly it is like the wild, wild west. A dust storm, freak hailstorm and flash flood warnings tonight, all hitting at once. For more on that we go to meteorologist jim cantore at Weather Channel headquarters. Hi, jim. Hey, lester. The important thing about california is we havent gotten in to what is known as the santa ana season for southern california. So you dont see many red dots. All of these dots represent all of the large fires, the dozens of large fires out there. As we get in to this weekend, a deep surge of tropical moisture will come north, across the west. It wont get in the fire zones. It may help a couple of these, but we dont think it will help many. Two to three inches of rain. You may not think that is much but there are some places in california and arizona that get two to three inches in a year. This is a tremendous flood threat for the west. Let me show you the weather that accompanies moisture in the west. Littleton, colorado, this storm got up to eight to ten miles high. Instead of producing rain, when it collapsed it produced hail and tons of hail, enough it had to be removed by snowplows in littleton, colorado. Off to yuma,arizona, no rain or hail here. We are talking about dust that fell and was pushed from these storms because basically as these storms collapse the air below is too dry. So as we go hurricaneless in the Atlantic Basin a serious tropical flood threat for the west this weekend and beyond. Jim cantore, thanks.
