Doing perfect. Your moms going to be so proud of you. Good evening and thanks for being here on a sunday night. And we do begin with the new threat this evening. The fierce winds now fueling the fire, burning in Yosemite National park. Winds expected through the evening and tonight, not only are fire crews trying to keep the flames from reaching thousands of homes, they are batting to protect those famous giant sequoias, the ancient treasures of the park. The fire has not reached them yet, but so many other trees the fire has reached. 133,000 acres, a huge part of the park, already charred. Just listen to it tonight. The sound of the bone dry timber going up in flames. And our team, visiting that crucial reservoir in the park, where San Francisco gets its water supply. Contributing to that state of emergency now in california. And tonight, as 47 fires burn in nine western states, the biggest fight is right there at yosemite and thats where we begin with abcs Neal Karlinsky again tonight. Reporter tonight, the fight inside yosemite is hot and intense. Crews arent just trying to stop the fire theyre trying to protect a grove of the parks famed sequoias three dozen in all. The huge trees are among the oldest living things on earth, and teams have been assigned just to them. Im from virginia, so the fuel types here are different. And this is definitely dry, so, this is some pretty extreme fire behavior that were encountering here. Reporter more teams are inside the park to protect the area around the massive hetch hetchy reservoir. We saw first hand, the fire is close to the area that supplies 85 of San Franciscos water. Cause enough for the governor to declare a state of emergency and put public utility crews on alert to monitor the waters quality. Its still actively burning as we speak. It has affected our water and power system. Reporter on the road outside the park, crews are cutting down burned trees they call widow makers, because they fall without warning. Further to the north, the now familiar sight more families displaced, evacuating as the fire burns their way. 15 minutes to be out of our house. So we only got our kids, our animals and a little bit of pictures. It was hard. Reporter elsewhere, air choked with thick smoke and ash is the problem. You can feel it. Yeah, its pretty bad. Its pretty bad. Im all congested. You get the sinus infection and all that stuff. Reporter this is what firefighters are working so hard to protect. These pictures were taken inside yosemite on saturday by tourists here from the uk, amazed that the fire is nowhere to be seen inside for now. Were hered a the side of yosemite that has been closed off and is now being protected by firefighters. This fire remains very intense, only about 7 contained. Its burning hot, theyre having a very hard time getting ahold of this one, david. All right, Neal Karlinsky leading us off. Neal, our thanks to you. I want to bring in abc meteorologist ginger zee. And as weve been saying here, the major threat tonight, the winds. Right. And that is going to subside only a little as we get into the start of the work week. I have to show you, david, the real problem is going to be the heat and, of course, the dry conditions. Its going to be even hotter and drier as we start this week in that part of california. Also, the flooding and the heat youre watching as we turn to another week. Right. Huge headlines coming out. And weve got flash flooding thats happening right now in the southwest. You can see, some pictures, fresh in from near needles, california, where u. S. 95 meets highway 40, i40, it had to shut down in both ways because of all that rain. Greater than a half inch in just 15 minutes. I have to show you, its not over. And this is a twoday event here. Really mostly tonight into early tomorrow, you could get twoplus inches very quickly. And quickly david, i have to tell you, heat in the midwest, it is recordbreaking. Minneapolis today hit 96. They will stay in the 90s. Legitimate heat wave for chicago, st. Louis and kansas city. All right, tracking it all. Ginger zee tonight. Ginger, thank you. Now to the crisis in syria this evening, and to a message from the white house, intended for the president of syria. The white house saying there is very little doubt that it was the Syrian Regime that used chemical weapons against its own people in recent days. And tonight, more of those new images of the aftermath. Believed to be the single deadliest attack so far there in syria. Syria says it will allow inspectors. The white house saying that time has passed. And so tonight here, we ask, will america act . What are the options . And if so, how soon . Abcs chief Global Affairs correspondent, martha raddatz, reporting in from the region again tonight. Martha . Reporter david, it appears tonight that the u. S. Is closer to taking military action in syria than ever before, with strong words from u. S. Officials today and warships at the ready. Navy destroyers and submarines now in the Mediterranean Sea could launch cruise missiles into syria whenever ordered, targeting Syrian Regime command and control headquarters, airfields or aircraft that might be used to carry chemical weapons. Another option u. S. Fighter jets launching weapons from outside syrian air space. The syrians have created this sanctuary, where there are surface to air missiles. Reporter images of the suspected chemical attack have outraged the world. Men, women and children killed in the most horrific way. President obama says he will not intervene until the attack is verified, but Administration Officials are tonight saying there is a strong suspicion that the assad regime launched the attack, adding that the rebels do not even have the kind of rockets in which the chemicals were believed to be delivered. Today, syria said it would allow u. N. Inspectors to visit the site, but american Officials Say its too little, too late, and the evidence they would present is likely corrupted. So, how soon could this happen . U. S. Officials tell abc news, a response must be timely, done soon enough to prevent another chemical attack. We are not talking about months. I think the best that we could hope for is to deter mr. Assad from using chemicals against his people again. And worst case, drag us into a larger middle east conflict. Reporter david, the administration has also made very clear they do not want to take any kind of action alone. So, there have been urgent meetings with allies here in the region and elsewhere. David . Martha raddatz with us again tonight. Martha, our thanks to you. And now to egypt this evening, where its been hard to keep track of which leaders are jailed, which ones have been set free. Tonight, the first glimpse of former egyptian president Hosni Mubarak since he was released last week. Mubarak arriving by helicopter for a Court Appearance this sunday. This is now his retrial for the killing of protesters during the arab spring. Inside, he sat in a wheelchair in the defendants cage, wearing dark sunglasses there. Last week, we showed you mubarak being freed after the current president , mohamed morsi, was jailed instead. To another case overseas involving American College student amanda knox, who now says she will not be attending the second trial in her case in italy. Her lawyers have confirmed that she will not got back for the proceedings. Knox is being tried again for the murder of her roommate back in 2007. She spent four years in prison for that crime before he conviction was overturned. Her lawyers will represent her at the retrial, which begins next month. And to australia tonight, where there is a search under way this evening for a victim after a very rare attack there. A young man vanishing after being attacked by a crocodile in an area where the once endangered crocodile population is now flourishing. And it all played out as onlookers watched horrified by what they saw. Heres abcs jeffrey kofman. Reporter look. Take pictures. But stay out of the water. That is the very clear advice for tourists in this crocodileinfested corner of australia. 24yearold shawn cole was at a wirth date party in a remote jungle lodge when he and a pal decided to ignore the council and swim in this notorious river. As his horrified friends looked on, it was over in an instant. A 16foot crock snapped his jaws and the young partygoer disappeared. One of the guards that work here said, look, i think someones been taken by a crock. I went, are you joking . Reporter there are thousands and thousands in this river. Police and wildlife officers rushed to the scene, searching through the night for some sign of the victim. By daybreak, they killed three giant crocks, but found nothing. Jeffrey kofman, abc news, london. Jeffrey, thank you. And back here at home tonight, and to a break in the case in texas, after a remarkable 911 call. A brave boy as his home was being robbed, calling for help. And the calming voice at the other end of the line. Here tonight, abcs gio benitez. Reporter listen closely as 12yearold Deion Murdoch dials 911, alone in his texas home. 911. Where is the emergency . Hello . Someone is trying to break into my house. They just broke the window, maam. They just broke the window . What room are you in . Im in my mothers room right now. Please hurry. Is your house i am. Stay on the phone with me.

You there . Deion . Okay, just stay there. The officers, i think theyre going to catch the guy, okay . Reporter when police arrived, they said they saw the two men running from the home. The dispatcher keeping the child on the line, with a loving tone. So, is the Police Officer outside the house . Yeah. But stay inside the closet. Because theyre trying to find the bad guys, okay .
