perfectly. just finished a news conference at kennedy space center where the president of spacex talked about how this, that they will have people at the launch pad later today, but that this is not a failure. >> this is not a failure. we aborted with purpose, it would be a failure if were to have lifted off with an engine trending in this direction. >> reporter: gwynne saying had you lifted off bad things could happen, they would not have been able to probably reach orbit and certainly not the international space station, which is the mission. spacex attempting to be the first commercial company, randi, to actually get a spacecraft, their dragon spacecraft to the international space station, to

rendesvous and berth. >> it's a demonstration flight, has cargo on it, should something go wrong it won't be terribly missed is the way it was put to me but understand this -- this need to be successful because nasa decided that it could no longer continue to fly space shuttles, and build a rocket that could take humans to an asteroid and mars, just not enough money, they are turning over low earth orbit, servicing the international space station to commercial companies. spacex is the first one ready to make this next leap so it's hugely critical they get it right down the road. >> a lot of jobs on the line, too. >> absolutely. >> john zarella, thank you very

passport, now on his way to the united states. he can't stay in china, fears for his life here in recent days, said his family, who have pen left behind, brother, nephews, extended family have been arrested, beaten. his nephew placed on attempted murder charge for defending himself against these attacks. not the environment he felt safe in, now winging his way to new york. >> he's headed to newark, you mention the job at nyu, do we know where he will stay or does he have help or guidance there. >> reporter: there has been a lot of support for him, a big chinese community in the united states. a big chinese christian community very vocal and supportive throughout the story. he has friends within the academic community, close friend in new york university who provided this position for him. so it looks as though things will be taken care of at that end.

racism a campaign in the media to blacken his name, portray him as a traitor, as a u.s. spy. china is determined he is not being seen as a heroic figure. stan grant, thank you very much. a run down of some of the stories we are working on. a guatemalan mother said her daughter was stolen. now the girl is in a battle between that mom and the adoptive u.s. parents. opened with a bank, facebook stock falls flat. kim ckardashian helped sell skechers, but they didn't do what they were supposed to do. now they have to pay up. plip pl

this morning we are monitoring wild fires burning in several states out west. one of the biggest fires is in northern arizona, the so-called gladiator fire, another city was forced to evacuate. firefighters barely have any of it under control and burned up to 20 square miles already. reynolds is back with us, what is fuelling this? >> unfortunately, you have a lot of basically brush out there. a lot of pine, coupled with dry conditions and yesterday winds from 20 to 30 miles per hour, you had fires spreading like

crazy, damage is income -- incomeprehensible. gladiator, 13,000 acres contained. one of the issue we will be seeing, conditions belter what i mean by that, they are going to cool-down a little bit at the same time the wind should drop, but it's going to be crucial for firefighters to really get a handle on these first this weekend because as we get through sunday and monday and tuesday, we're going to see something else develop over the southwest, an area of low pressure we refer to as a heat low, that will increase the winds by next week. so you're going to see fires moving through canyons, ravines, where there is the foliage. it could accelerate next week. they have to get a good handle on them. >> reynolds, thank you for the update. check back with you later on.

witnesses in the trayvon martin case paint a conflicting picture of what happened on the night the florida teenager was killed. i'll ask a well-known attorney about the new evidence just released.

they have never been seen before, new photos of george zimmerman seem to show signs of a struggle the night trayvon martin was shot and killed. as you can see zimmerman has small cuts on the side of his nose. another set of photos shows bloody gashes on the back of his head. we're getting a look at what could be trayvon martin's last moments before his fateful encounter with zimmerman. a surveillance video showing the teen at a local convenience

store. randy kessler here to talk about the case. let's start with the trayvon case, what do you make of the new evidence just released, a mountain of evidence. >> manna from heaven for a defense lawyer. there are always two sides to every story. the defense lawyers are happy now. >> let's talk about the pictures, they showed wounds, george zimmerman said he killed trayvon martin in self defense how important do you think it is to have the pictures at a trial if it dpegets to that in. >> extremely important. if he was a racist you don't wait until you're getting beat up that badly. if you have an agenda, you will shoot somebody not consistent with wounds and a fight and struggle. a criminal case, the prosecution has to win yard, not just tipping the scales. this makes it harder to get that beyond a reasonable doubt

standard. >> trayvon martin's girlfriend on the phone with him says she was on the phone with him at the time he encountered george zimmerman she heard him say "get off, get off" how critical do you think her testimony is? >> it's important but she is biased, you don't have much more of a biased witness, you have the victim's family, they are perceived as biased because they feel -- >> one sergeant on the line during the 911 call heard someone yell for help 14 times in 38 seconds. but the fbi is saying that the voice analysis is really in conclusive who was yelling for help. what will the jury make of this, do you think? >> i think it will cancel each other out. people on the jury will want to find him guilty or innocent each

will hear what they want to hear. if the only people saying that is him or not him, it will be hard. i think the evidence will wash it out and it won't be a big part of the case. >> would that be the same thing, some people say i think it was trayvon martin on top during the struggle on the ground and others who say it was george zimmerman, it's the same thing. >> a tussle is a tussle, a fight is on fight, people get on top and bottom. there was a fight. i don't think zimmerman should say i should win the case because he was an aggressor. i ended the fight, i was fearful for my life, i stood my ground. >> getting back to the 911 call, there was a question whether zimmerman made a racial slur during the 911 call. he was told to not follow trayvon martin but he did that. his family said he's not a racist, a white hispanic, but there is a co-worker who came out in this discovery evidence that was released saying not

only is he racist but bully, this guy said he was always taunted by george zimmerman. could this effect the case? >> there is a very slim possibility, if they charge him with a hate crime, enough evidence to prove -- >> what they are trying to do. >> if it gets to that level, it westbound relevant. did he kill him in self detense premeditation whether he was a racist against. >> if you were sitting at the defense table with george zimmerman how is the case looking for him? >> better than a few weeks ago, much, much better. >> the evidence helps? >> makes it confusing. a lot of reasonable doubt. all the defense has to do is poke reasonable down in the prosecution ts ca prosecution's case, if all 12 people can't agree, he walks. >> as you look at the bruising on his head and nose, you have

to look at how will they prove those bruises and cuts are consistent with his head being slammed in the pavement as he said trayvon martin did. >> that's true. the truth of the matter is all of america could think maybe he did it or more likely but that is not the standard. the standard isn't he probably did it you have to convince 12 people that he murdered him that will be a hard standard. >> getting back to stand your ground. stick around i want to continue our discussion on some of these other big legal cases. we have new details in the search for a man suspected of murdering his new bride. her body found in a bathtub. i want to hear what you have to say about this case. imagine you, with less pain. cymbalta can help. cymbalta is fda-approved to manage chronic musculoskeletal pain. one non-narcotic pill a day, every day, can help reduce this pain. tell your doctor right away if your mood worsens, you have unusual changes in mood or behavior or thoughts of suicide.
