initially said he was dragged by the car before firing the shot. but the body cam video tells a much different story. he fell back after shooting but he was never dragged. >> he purposely killed him. he should have never been a police. >> reporter: the man's family spent over a week pressing authorities to release the footage. >> seeing that video let me know that my son did absolutely nothing. not nothing. nothing to even provoke this man. >> reporter: a few hours later, tensing, an eight year veteran was in police custody. he had been on administrative leave. the university fired him wednesday afternoon. the school also canceled classes in anticipation of grand jury's decision. in 2001 riots resulted in cincinnati after a 19-year-old unarmed black man was shot and killed by a cincinnati police officer. >> samuel was peaceful.

that on onduty police officer has been indicted for murder yes. >> and on top of that this indictment happened very quickly is that because this body cam video was just so incontrovertible. >> absolutely. it was lightning fast because of the body cam, and that just goes to show the importance of having body cams nationwide because without those it's just the officers word they feared for my life. i thought i was going to die, verse the reality that is shown on the body cams. they are absolutely crucial. >> and at this point, i mean given the trend we have seen with these kind of cases, i mean, is it your feeling that the national momentum for body cams at this point is just going to be simply unstoppable? >> i hope so because we cannot be relying on innocent by sanders taking video, such as we saw in the eric garner case and

the walter scott case there needs to be a body cam system on every police officer, whether it's college police officer, and every other police officer, that's the only way the true story will be told. >> right. and of course body cams will cut both ways. what is the tension that we might have to deal with there, going forward? >> i think as long as people know that it is a fair system that the truth is coming out, that's all anybody really wants is a fair -- fairness in this system and the truth, and if the video and the body cam shows that the person -- the suspect was doing something to place the officer in danger then it will be show on the body camera and the officer rightfully will not be charged. >> officer tensing pleaded not guilty and given what we have all seen in the video now, does he have a case? >> well according to his lawyer

he has a case. he has tried to explain through his lawyer earlier, that he did fear for his life and he thought he was going to be dragged by the car. so i'm sure we're going to hear some of the same things. the officer thought he would only be charged if anything with a lesser charge. >> when you say should it get to that point, are you thinking there is going to be some kind of plea in this case? >> if i were his lawyer i would try to work out a plea agreement with him, because i think the body cam video isser refruitable as to what happened. >> debbie heinz, thank you very much. >> thank, you paul. now to new york in the eric garner case activists plan to appeal to new york's highest court. cell phone video captured garner

against isis. however, the government from the very start have been very skeptical about pyd presence. >> turkey recently allowed the u.s. to use a base on its soil to launch attacks against isil. back in this country, activists have begun coming down from a bridge in oregon after failing to stop a ship from leaving port. 13 green peace climbers spent all night hanging from the bridge but the shell oil vessel they were trying to block just sailed underneath. shell se eliminating jobs. the oil giant says it is planning for a prolonged downturn in oil prices. up next a new lead in the search for malaysian airlines

♪ it may be the best clue yet in the search for a jet that went missing more than a year ago. flight 370 disappeared last march, but now what looks like part of a wing has washed up off the coast of after ga. boeing says the debris does appear to be from the wing of a boeing 777, and that is the same model of the doomed flight. more from john henry smith. >> reporter: experts think the plane fragment that washed up

might be our first glimpse of wreckage from malaysia air flight 370, the plane that disappeared in march of last year with 239 on board. >> it matches the platform which is in the rear of the wing. everybody says it fits to the boeing 777, and of course which plane is missing in this area? >> reporter: 40 minutes after leaving for beijing, mh370 lost all contact over the gulf of thailand. the search focused on two possible corridors to the north and south. eventually concentrating on a 23,000-square-mile area off of the coast of western australia. now experts are headed west off of the coast of madagascar to examine the debris. >> traveling to the site so they can see firsthand and -- and confirm whether or not this is a part of the 777 aircraft and then as a further step whether there's any way of linking

that -- that wreckage to the missing aircraft. >> serial number if it does match up with other serial numbers that presumably a malaysia airlines have in their database then it will give us the first clue that this does indeed come from the aircraft in question. >> reporter: even if thes we are age is conclusively linked to the missing plane, they may do little to solve the mystery. the debris is likely to have drifted thousands of miles and may offer few clues as to the location of the actual crash site. what it may offer, though is a small bit of information to grieving families. >> if the wreck sage identified what that does is give some degree of closure to the families who are waiting for information about what has happened to their loved ones.

tanya paige joins us live now from reunion island. how are they going to identify this part? >> well what they are really pinning their hopes on is the probability, really that one of the components one of the parts on this piece of wreckage does have one of those serial number badges that will tell us the make and model, they'll be able to get right down and find out exactly which plane it came from by matching it with the records of its maker, boeing. we don't know exactly what state that badge may be in. it could have been eroded or have barnacles growing on it but they are keenly aa ware that many people are holding out hope that this is a piece of that

doomed flight. >> even if investigators can link this part to the flight does that solve the mystery of where or why it went down? >> unfortunately not. because it is of course a part of the wing of the plane, it may not tell them anything at all about exactly what happened on board, and we know of course because this plane seemingly disappeared off of the face of the earth, it has been fertile ground for conspiracy theorists. however, if it is identified as a part of malaysia 370, then it will reaffirm what those searching for the wreck age have believed that they are looking in the right place, because of the modeling around the time it disappeared did show that some debris may reach this far. certainly, it will also give some closure for the families who have had their -- their minds, their hopes, lifted

and -- and fallen and clouded by some of the theories that have swirled around this disappearance, and maybe just one step -- it may in fact in the end be the only clue to one of the world's greatest aviation mysteries. >> tanya paige thank you. western leaders are promising families connected with another malaysia airlines disaster that they will see justice. wednesday russia vetoes a u.n. security council draft resolution that would set up an international tribunal to investigate the crash of flight mh17. >> no veto will stand in the way of this heinous crime being investigated and prosecuted. and no veto will weaken our unshakable commitment to you, to ensure that you and your loved ones have the justice that you deserve. the plane went down in eastern ukraine last july

that's when isil would offer to send them the funds. >> translator: he tried to pull me in asked me if i wanted to come to syria, and that i would like it. i said i had no money and he said he would help. >> reporter: the girls received the money but never traveled to syria. instead they blocked the isil fighter they were communicating with and moved on to the next tar ket. they trio made about $3,300 before being caught by police. the young woman you just saw has not been charged but has confessed to everything. the other girls were detained on charges of fraud. it's unclear whether they will receive any punishment for the scam. you are looking live now at pictures from jerusalem, where police say six people were stabbed during a gay pride parade. this is the aftermath of that incident. an orthodox jewish assailant is being blamed.

been them. we have all heard the phrase one in a blue moon. tomorrow there is actually going to be a for real blue moon. >> so there are a couple of definitions of a blue moon tomorrow we're using the modern definition which means we have two full moons in the same month, not the actual color blue. so if you look at the calendar from this month, we already has a fuel moon on july 2nd. we went through all of the phases, and tomorrow worn worn -- morning we'll have another full moon. this happens about every 2.7

years. the last time we had two full moons in a month was 2012. the reflect be in 2018, extra rare because we will have two of these occurrences in this same year. but we can also have moons that are actually blue in color. that's much more unusual, much more of a so-called once in a blue moon event. if you remember the visible light spectrum we have different colors that relate to different frequencies. certain things defact the red line leaving a scene blue. what causes that? well usually it's volcanos. they have large dust particles in the atmosphere from the ash, and almost one micron big that filters out the red. one of the biggest was in 1883 in indonesia. blue moons seen around the world. another event that can trigger a

blue moon is forrest fires. oil droplets get into the air, one of those events was in canada in 1953 made the moon look blue all of the way to europe. and there can be localized events as well. but either way we're looking at that blue moon tomorrow morning. the spectacle we call the northern lights just got supersized. this is 10,000 times more powerful than the aurora boreal louse here on earth. you can see this one with the naked eye, because it's more than 18,000 light years away. but it is the first aurora discovered outside of our solar system. thank you for joining us here on earth. i'm paul brennan, the news continues next live from london. and for the latest headlines go to our website, aljazeera.com. ♪
