4:04 pm
propaganda threat from isis targeting our city. today the mayor said she's doing everything she can to keep us safe. >> we know that as a nation's capital that we will always get attention even if it's not authenticated. our police department is very practiced and working with our federal agencies to keep d.c. safe. >> reporter: so has what happened in paris changed the way you live here in washington? the people speak out coming up at 5:00. chris, back to you. >> all right. thanks, pat. we have some new video coming into the newsroom. secretary of state john kerry is in paris and just participated in a ceremonial lighting at the u.s. embassy. now it's lit up in france's national colors, blue, white and red. >> here in washington, a tribute to the victims is growing by the hour. news 4's meagan fitzgerald is live outside the french embassy.

4:11 pm
terror in paris and how that tragedy is putting states at odds with the response to the humanitarian crisis in syria. at least 14 republican governors say they want to stop syrian refugees from coming into their states. they cite concerns that terrorists may use the cover of refugees to sneak across borders. virginia, maryland and d.c. are not changing policies. the president called the rejection of syrian refugees, quote, a betrayal of values. we want to know what you think about this. should the attacks in paris influence the acceptance of syrian refugees? >> vote by calling the number on your screen. we'll have the results later in the hour. they do not think they have seen the end of terror attacks from isis. >> during a forum, director john brennan talk bdz the possibility the u.s. or other countries could be targeted. >> i would anticipate that this is not the only operation that isil has in the pipeline, and
4:12 pm
the security intelligence services are working feverishly to see what else they can do in terms of uncovering it. i do believe that they'll have to deal with for quite some time. >> the united states and its coalition of countries have had success and containing the group's momentum inside iraq and syria and that's why they're looking abroad to unleash attacks. warplanes have been pounding targets in syria. up next, we'll go live to the pentagon with new insider information with the fight against isis. plus charlie sheen set to sit down for an exclusive interview on the "today" show and the announcement that he's
4:15 pm
week has critics questioning how the u.s. is handling isis. is president obama's strategy working? he says yes. he announced the strategy for defeating the islamic state is working and he's sticking with it. >> jim miklaszewski is live from the pentagon, and his military advisers are telling him not to put more boots on the ground in syria. from your sources, how does that square with what the pentagon is recommending? >> actually, it squares up pretty well because senior military officials here including the past chairman of the joint staff general martin dempsey and the current chairman
4:16 pm
of the joint staff general joe dunford both have not recommended and don't intend to do so putting more american forces on the ground in iraq and syria. instead, what they want to do is accelerate the air war and we saw a little bit of that over the past couple of days. now, clearly, the u.s. stepped aside and allowed the french to launch a number of air strikes against isis targets in raqqa, the defacto capital for the terrorist organization in syria while the french have been conducting a lot of air strikes and most of those have been in iraq, but in this case, again, they allowed the french to carry out these retaliatory strikes and on the board right now is an increase in all u.s. airstrikes and coalition air strikes in syria and even air cover for ground operations in syria. i must stress here that all those plans were already on the board and in progress before that terrorist attack on friday
4:17 pm
in paris. >> jim, how much concern is there now that the air strikes that are under way will turn up the heat in washington especially in light of the propaganda video we saw from isis today? >> there's always that possibility. however, these air strikes have been in the works for some time now. they've already deployed two wings of f-15s and 810 warhogs and some ac-130 gunships. chris, you know what those are all about and they're fighting fortresses that protect troops on the ground so they're looking forward to a very serious ground campaign in syria against isis. again, there's always the possibility, but u.s. intelligence, at least up until now has been pretty good in ferreting out any possible threats from terrorists, not only isis, but other terrorists aimed at striking the american homeland. >> that's a great point, jim.
4:18 pm
isis is not the only group operating out there. great point. pentagon, thanks very much. now your storm team 4 forecast. >> on that forecast today, absolutely beautiful weather, but it's not going to stay that way this week, and as a matter of fact, today probably the best day of the week. let's take a look and show you what's happening outside. temperatures that have warmed very nicely. we got close to 70 earlier this afternoon and right now down to 67 degrees after a high of 69 earlier and 68 fredericksburg, and 64 in win chester and just beautiful weather out there and a very nice monday and keep your windows down in the car and the next couple of days it's different and we have the cloud cover making its way our way and no cloud cover and no rainfall, but look back to the west we are watching these clouds move on in and these will be here during the day tomorrow and here's one storm system making its way our way and we'll see the cloud cover first and not much in the way, and the actual storm is back toward colorado and

4:20 pm
could be rather windy and rainy and winds could be gusting upwards of 30 to 40 miles an hour. veronica has much more on thursday's impact to your day. that's one day we'll continue to >> thanks, doug. >> we wanted to mention the mansion that urned about down in great falls was empty and on the market. the entire house was in flames when firefighters got there and there are no fire hydrants so they had to bring tanks full of water to fight it. the hours later it was still smoking and the house was a total loss. the last thing you want to do on thanksgiving day is take a trip to the er. >> yes. three times as many fires happen on thanksgiving than any other day of the year. >> erika gonzalez has a warning about frying turkeys and where you can get that done for free. >> thanksgiving is around the corner and if you've ever had fried turkey you know it's delectable, but it can be dangerous in preparing. so that's why you should just
4:21 pm
leave it to the pros and that's why we have mark bucher who is the chef of the medium rare restaurants in d.c. thanks for being with us. >> nice to be with you. >> we are frying turkey outside and the next important thing to start with. >> a thawed, dry turkey. >> you never want to have it thawed. >> make sure it's dry when we put it in. >> a lot of people will use newspaper, cardboards, but that's not right. >> you want it on a solid surface. if you're going to put it in your driveway, don't put cardboard to save your driveway. put it on the asphalt. >> how much oil should people be using and it expands over the sides and it ignites and that's when you have problems. >> once again, we are outside and do not fry your turkeys indoors. >> if this ignites don't hit it
4:22 pm
with water and have an extinguisher close by and you have to stay here and you have to be present when you're doing it. >> we've heard from medstar washington's burn center and last year they saw more than 50 people with burns because of grease. once the oil gets to about 350 degrees and you drop the bird in and it cooks for half an hour, and don't dump it, and we collect it in the back and the recycling bin and let it cool and be safe. >> you should just leave it for the pros. mark's been doing this for eight years. you take him a turkey and he will fry it for you, no muss, no fuss and we have the details on how you can get mark to fry your turkey for you on the nbc washington app and just search fried turkey. we are still following developing stories right now. charlie sheen is going to be on the "today" show to make a
