Fireworks celebration. The building very near the worlds tallest building, the burj khalifa. There were no fatalities. 14 people were hurt. Possibly more. Were not sure we know for sure. All the while citys planned fireworks celebration went on as planned. It was strangest thing i ever have seen. David it was extraordinary. Onlookers didnt know what to look at, what was more spectacular sight, a sight of a burning skyscraper or fireworks display. There are a lot of questions whether what were hear from the Dubai Government is accurate. It is extraordinary if there are 16 minor injuries, excluding one heart attack from this massive fire. Hard to believe the story weve been hearing about, it having been set on 20th floor by curtain fire. It is not only above the 20th floor but clearly fires are down on the bottom well below the 20th floor. Joining us on the phone james mcmull lan, former state of california chief fire marshall and founder of the mcmull lan fire company. There are flames

And the question here is, who is eligible, who has what it takes to control the areas that this International Campaign is going to liberate from isis . Definitely it is the assad regime, because as i said, or 16 months the moderate rebels were desperate, and doesnt enjoy any kind of support, either we are talking about weapons or training or financial support. So unfortunately, the people in syria now are not optimistic when they think about this war against terrorism in their country and in iraq, because they think at the end of the day it will help the regime. My last point is, is it a lost case, or is there still hope . This is what gives me hope actually when i think about syria. People are still going to the streets, chanting against the regime. They started to chant against the regime like four years ago, and now they are saying in every single occasion, down with the regime, and down with isis as well.

I loved david. Or a black widow . Barbara briton is in the middle. Buried secrets. Thanks for joining us. Im lester holt. For years, the woman in this story lives in the most painful kind of limbo.

So no one noticed, at first, what was starting inland a little, in a town called pembroke pines, where Donna Velasquez, just three months a detective, a rookie really, had just been assigned to a brand new cold case unit. The sergeant
