Sequences. Does he have does he have could be. The Justice Department has ended its legal battle to force apple to unlock an iphone beginning to one of the san bernardinos phones. It says it has unlocked the phone and is analyzing the information inside. Jacob live for us in san francisco. This has been a long, hard fit. How did the government finally, unlock the phone . Reporter its not clear what method they used. Many are pointing at a probable rewriting of a flash memory on a copying of its memory off of the phone and then recopying back on whenever you need to once you get to a number of unlock attacks. Thats what unlocked locked them out. If its too many times. Like loading a saved game right at the point where the game is hardest getting back to the first part of the donkey kong level. They think thats what if it is. The timing, they had looked at a third party solution. It came on a sunday. Led a lot of observers to think this might have been a defendant contract with some sort. They employ contractors abroad. Some Third Party Contractor has probably come up with a way of copying the contents of the phone off of it and reloading them as needed. Donkey kong made a program. If this is is this the end of the companys fight with the government . Its definitely not. There are things where half dozen, maybe more open cases in court where the government is asking apple to do something similar. Apple has objected to most of those. This will be a lot more of those its worth noting the iphone 5c and the operating system became wildly before apple revamped it so you cannot do this same kind of thick whatever it is to later versions of the phone. The phone that i carry, probably you do, too, tony is vastly upgraded where you cant do this kind of thing. We will see if the f. B. I. Is going to bump this problem. They have bumped into it in several other cases. They will have to go to apple more more help. It makes you wonder are apple argues here over and over again that the request in this case was a precedent. Right . And would create unprecedented danger for its customers. Why was the company so willing to draw this particular line in the sand . Reporter its a great question. Its a very interesting, strategic move. This was a very ugly thing to defend, the idea you wereort of defending an accused mass murderers phone against intrusion from Law Enforcement agents trying to figure out whether that person had communication with other people. It just seems like no one would want to fight back against but apple saw this was a movement to be open about its objections to this. In secret, it has been duking it out. This was a case they had to figure it out. Now both fbi director and tim skoo cook, ceo of apple arguing in the courts and the lawmakers need to come out with a rule we can all live wh as a nation. Thats sort of a thing everyone is up against that we are truly changing the law about how your prior toe privacy and mine is protected forever by doing these kind of court cases. So this is definitely not over. Its going to keep going and at some point, we are going to see lawmakers come out and decide this question. All right. Jake ward, we appreciate it.

I am definitely aware i have had to work, you know, minimum wage jobs that were like s 67 and hour. We will probably have to, you know, juggle things around a little bit, you know. My employees struggle, you know, at 12. So, i am for it. State lawmakers were under pressure to make a deal. Some of californias most powerful unions managed to put the issue up as a Ballot Initiative for this november straight to the voters. The union, United Healthcare workers west issued this statement about the compromise saying, quote, if the california minimum wage bill passes and is signed into law by the governor, we will take a careful look at it and our executive board will decide what to do with an initiative.

New york also is considering a statewide minimum wage increase to 15 an hour. This is extremely popular issue. Minimum wage increases are popular among democrats. They are popular among independent. They are popular among republicans. Where minimum wage has gone on the ballot even in the reddest of reddest states, they have passed. The change in california would mean a raise for one out of every three workers in the state.

On monday, clinton ignored those reports and largely avoided talking about Bernie Sanders. Instead, she spoke at a wisconsin rally about the future of the u. S. Supreme court. If we are serious about fighting for progressive causes, we need to focus on the court, who sits on it, how we choose them, and how much we let politics, partisan politics, dominate that process.

We saw problems incomed springs two. 000 people, of course, this is not a lot compared to with a we saw, a loss of power but still problems around the area for this now. We are looking at another storm. I want to show you the big picture first of all, of how this is all going to play out. Notice this big trough of low pressure here across the western seaboard. This area of low pressure is going to slowly start to sink down here across much of the southwest, and with it, its bringing a lot of instability as well as a lot of cold air across this particular area. I want to show you the radar right now we have seen quite a bit of snow across parts of utah, towards nevada and up towards montan a. This is going to continue. Take a look at the forecast for tomorrow. As this area begins to sink down, tomorrow, nevada is going to see the brunt of the storm.

With work to again on another port, environmentalists worry past mistakes are about to be repeated. Been either south floridas waters, this scene horrifies divers, rare coral so covered in dirt it could be brushed away. These reefs, burial means death. Much of it caused by a massive construction work activists worry the government will soon repeat. When i learned about what happened in the port of miami, i was shocked and disgusted. And we just cant let the same thing happen here. Elite gusto ask joining those criticizing the army corpse of generally. The agency just finished expanding port miami. Activists say safeguards meant to protect the environ meant failed. Endangered coral reeves were lost. With that project done, the corpse plans to repeat the work at 40 ever glaglades near fort lauderdale. The plan in miami was broken. You cant assume it makes sense to repeat it up here. Its fall to go say the least. The 400 million project is needed so mega container ships can doc at one of the busiest ports. They say to increase business and protect jobs. The two ports sit in the middle of the maven florida reef track. 150 miles of rare coral hugging the coast. One of the Worlds Largest free ecosystems and the only one of its kind in the continental u. S. A. It is pangs takingly trying to protect.

We have worked long and hard to develop a plan that balances Economic Development also with protection of the en vivironmen in miami, only a few hundred pieces of corral were moved.

Environmentalists wants more ainsurance and more studies before work begins next year. To ensure a natural treasurer will be protected and the less options of the past have been learned. This will be a sixyear project that the corpse says they will be moving and caring for the coral long after actual construction is finished. Tony . Jonathan betz. Next, a mothers loss. Her daughter hit and killed by an unlicensed driver but that driver is not facing serious charges. Of her story is more common than you might think. How a legislature battle could put the brakes on ridesharing in chicago. Thats next. The only Live National news show at 11 00 eastern. We start with breaking news. Lets take a closer look. Every two hours in america, a pedestrian is struck by a car and killed. In some of those crashes, unlicensed drivers are behind the wheel. But unless drugs or alcohol are involved, those drivers often do not face serious charges. Did you know that . Al jazeeras patricia saga is here to explain for us. Patty . Tony, this is especially sho shocking. When you consider the governors Highway Safety association projects that last year saw a 10 percent spike in pedestrian fatalties but a National Backlash is building against reckless drivers who destroy lives. Third are 30yearold victoria nick deemas was living her dream in new york. She was at the highest point. She was breaking through in her career. She i felt she was in love. I felt that she was truly happy. Everybody changed on december 6th. She was out Christmas Shopping with her boyfriend on this brooklyn street. When an suv jumped the curb and struck her. To take me back to that night, i was settling down in my normal, boring sunday evening, taking my shoes off when my son came running in, frankie, to tell me we have to go to brooklyn immediately. Its very important. Something happened to victoria. And i walked into the hospital, and i said to peter, what are they doing to victoria . And peter neal in front of me and said, mommy, victor i cant is dead. I started pounding my chest. I dont know why. I just needed to hit myself. I dont know why. It was just so painful. Victorias family returned to the scene of the crash. This is exactly the scene. The man who killed victoria, 39yearold Marlin Sewell was uninsured and driving on a suspended license for not paying child support. The guy was unlicensed. The cops told me that he claim he had a Carbon Monoxide leak in the car. What were you expecting would be the minimum punishment . I thought that he would be charged with manslaughter and go to jail for at least 10 years. Instead, sewell was charged with a lowlevel misdemeanor. Soon after the crash, the dmv reinstated his license. A brooklyn prosecutor asked the court to suspend it again, arguing that sewell admitted at the scene that he may have felt light headed and it was unclear whether it was safe for him to drive. Gu the judge refused saying why have you not charged the defendant with reckless driving . Victoria nick deem uss case is not exceptional. In cases where drugs and alcohol are not a factor, its not unusual for drivers to kill or severely injure pedestrians to get off with little more than a slap on the wrist. Were you shocked to learn that her case is not exceptional . Dumbfounded. It was shocking to me first of all, that so many people died in the city of new york, either on the sidewalk or in a crosswalk and that hardly anybody gets charged with anything more than a misdemeanor. The Brooklyn District Attorneys Office would not comment on the case which is still being investigated. A spokesperson told al jazeera, quote, work within the current laws to prosecute drivers who engage in criminal acts, which unfortunately, is often difficult as the courts have established tough standards for such prosecution. New york state Traffic Safety resource prosecutor Joe Mccormick has been dealing with reckless driving cases for 20s years. The criminally negligent statute is worded like many of the states but our Court Interpretations that statute are dramatically more restrictive. They require a moral blame worthiness that doesnt appear in the statute. Victorias family is advocating for a Game Changing bill. Introduced last year, it would bring felony charges against unlicensed drivers or those driving on a suspended license who seriously injure or kill someone. Its up to me this is the year we are going to pass it in to law. New York State Assembly man Walter Moseley cosponsors the bill . Its immaterial perative that we take on this bill and push it through so it can go to a vote for the asomebly and for the senate and get on the governors desk this year. I work with families across the 5 boroughs who have been in situations like victorias family and they want their day in court. Caroline is with new york city nonprofit transportation alternatives. We watched mothers against drunk driving set afire around the issue is of drunk driving. I think we are starting to see that happen with reckless driving. A shift reflected in vision zero, a program aimed at eliminating traffic fatalities and severe injuries. Launched in new york two years ago, it has since been adopted by 14 other u. S. Cities. So we are working to advances. Lia is director of the Vision Zero Network . We have to send a message vitally, culturally through the media that these actions that can kill and can change lives and ruin lives do have impacts. This is the power of the sort of cultural change. Its families like victorias family that are brave and courageous enough to speak out, to push back that will make that change happen. Running someone over is not an accident. Its not a misdemeanor. Its a homicide. Today would have been victorias 31st birthday. Tomorrow, the suspect in her case has another court date. The brooklyn das office told us prosecutors can bring additional charges at any time pending the results of the investigation. However, its been nearly four months since the crash and so far, tony, that hasnt happened yet. What a story. Patty, this spike in pedestrian deaths, what explains it . This is one of the reasons why you are really starting to see vision zero programs like it really starts to take off. People really start to take action because they are projecting a 10 percent think about that in pedestrian fatalities. There are myriad reasons for this. One of the reasons is that there are more people on the road. People are driving more because gas prices are so low. Technology also has to do with it. Mobile phones. People texting while driving, also people walking and texting and it may be not seeing that somebody has turned into the crosswalk where they said they are walking across. But really what you are seeing, now, tony in the United States is this backlash saying this is the cars. Cars can kill people if they are driven reckless wilee and there should be stricter punishments. It goes down to how are pedestrian areas designed . Do we need more traffic sdmarmz that sort of thing. Terrific piece. Well done. Patty, thank you. A new viral video from ann harbor mish proves being an uber driver is one tough job. Go drive. Minimum wage bleep . Okay. So the student here is under investigation by the university of michigan and his fraternity but as al jazeera reports, uber drivers and the companys Business Practices are also under attack in other cities. In toronto, this cab driver was so insenced, he clung to an uber drivers car. Cabbies have attacked beener drivers in paris and mexico city, even here in chicago, an immigrant said she felt the heat, too, from cabbies . Theythrow coffee, you know, a cup of coffee on my car, yelling at me. One of the guys told me that, go back to the kitchen. Being a taxi driver, i think they are great drivers within the city of chicago. But, you know, we have a stigma. Cab driver Sergio Ferrera says in the two years since Ride Sharing Services arrived in chicago, the staktaxi business losing the battle. If you work within the city of chicago, especially the north side, i would say 60 , 65 of the business is gone. Now, a possible lifeline for Chicago City Council could be a devastating blow to ride sharing companies. The council will vote next month on proposals that would require ride sharing drivers to have the same is chauffeurs license requirements at 600 per license and the same regulations on their vehicles that cab drivers face. If you come in with a Business Model where you say, i dont have to follow any regulations or rules, then youve got a better Business Model when it comes to profit. But when it comes to Public Safety for the taxi industry, the limo drivers have a much better model. Thats what we are trying to get beener to. None of the things are making are helping taxis. We want to help taxi reduce some of the burdens and regulations. Dont hurt the people who have access to a safe alternative. Ride sharing services are said to not need more regulations, instead, the taxi Industry Needs less. The back and forth between the two sides has been bitter. Taxi drivers are livid over the revelation that ride sharing drivers 0 the city of chicago 15 million in unpaid traffic fines. Uber said its getting on drivers to pay those bills quickly and expects to have it resolved within weeks. But taxi drivers also point to several reports of local uber drivers assaulting passengers. Uber says if its backgrounds checks were more stringent, many would lose out. It argues it brought rides to riders and work to drivers, places where you cant find a taxi. The taxi industry says its determination to help better serve those neighborhoods through incentives to its drivers is part of the reason why the city council is leaning in favor of those proposals. Both sides are worried. With those regulations, its going to cut a lot of the money. Business is gone. They did take the whole entire city. Andy rosgen, chicago.

Now, they are demanding that the government deliver. Jane arraf, al jazeera, baghdad. Japans controversial new security law goes into effect tuesday.

Rob mcbride reports now from tokyo. It is an issue that has provoked demonstrations on the streets and fierce debates in the japanese parliaments.

Finding them and discovering things and we can even go back to some of the original caves we have been in numerous times and discover new pieces and nobody of before. The mist trees of the deep. What lies been either the surface of the earth . Now scientists are beginning to share in their fas natio fascin. It could be useful to the rest of us.
