Number one in just 60 its dat bate pitting the fbi over apple. To be night apple ceo tim cook on why he is refusing to help the feds break into the phone used by the San Bernardino gunman. World news tonight anchor david muir also gets cook to respond to calls by donald trump for an apple boycott. As we sit here you know some of the families of the victims in San Bernardino have now come out in support of the judges order that apple help the fbi unlock that iphone. One family reportedly saying, were angry and confused as to why apple is refusing to do this. What would you say to those families tonight . They have our deepest sympathy. One should have to go through. Apple has cooperated with the fbi fully in this case. They came t t us and asked us for all the information we had on this phone. And we gave everything that we had. But this case is not about one phone. This case is about the future. What is at stake here is can the government compel apple to write software that we believe would make hundreds of millions of customers vulnerableearound the world, including the u. S. . And youd have to write that system in order to unlock that phone . Yes. The only way we know would be to write a piece of software t tt we vieww as sort of the software equivalent of cancer. We think its bad news to write. We would never write it. We have never written it. And that is what is at stake here. The fbi though says it believes syed faruk used that phone to communicate with his wife, his accomplice. Do you struggle at all with the informationnn that phone that could reveal other plots, other people involved in planning the San Bernardino attack . David, if we knew a way to t the information on the phone that we havent already given, if we knew a way to do this that would not expose hundreds of millions of other peoples issues, we wou obviously d it. I want to get to what the fbi director james comey said. He said its not about a slippery slope, its about 14 people who were slaughtered and many more had their lives ruin. Maybe the phone holds the clue to finding more terrorists, maybe it doesnt. But we cant look the survivors in the eye and ourselves if we out there. Coming from . I do understand where hes coming from. Andhis is an incredibly complex issue. But it is about the future. Think about this. If a Court Compels apple to write this piece of software, to place a back door in the iphone, of millions of customers at risk. Reporter we asked tim cook to explain this new system they would have to create to break into the iphone. The pass cord on the front like we all use to get into our iphones. After a certain number of tries it autoerases . What they want is they want us to develop a new operating system that takes out the security precautions, then they want a ability to go through a number of passwords at the speed of a modern computer. A computer would do that . A computer would do that. That is what theyre asking for. We believe that is a very dangerous operating system. You hear that from the republican frontrunner, donald trump what i think you ought to do is boycott apple until such time asas they give that security number. Is that the right route in saying boycott apple . The best thing is americas strongest when we all come together. You know, i think a democracy is messy sometimes. But this i love democracy. That is who we are vinita nair. I think the best thing to do is to discuss and collaborate and Work Together on whatever the solution may be. Let me ask you this. Youve invite med to apple before. The stories are legendary about new products with black drapery over them, locked doors, secrecy. Any American Company can keep a secret, its apple. To those who might say, why didnt the fbi and apple team up far earlier in one of those secret lababand get this done and no one would have had to know about it . I cant talk about the tactics of the fbi. Theyve chosen what theyve done. Theyve chosen to do this out in the public. For whatever reasons that they have. What we think at this point, given it is out in the public, is that we need to o and tall and stand tall on principle. Theres probably more information about you on your house. Our smartphones are loaded with our intimate cocoersations, our financial data, our health records. Theyre also loaded with the location of our kids, in many cases. So its not just about privacy, but its also about public safety. If you didnt think this would set a precedent, if you didnt believe this would be a slippery slope, is this something your engineers could do and how quickly could they do it . Weve n ner done it before so i dont know how long it would take. Would i do it . In a Perfect World where none of the implications that im talking about exist . Yes, we would do it. We would obviously d d it. But we dont live in a Perfect World. In your quiet moments, do you have any concern about you might be able to prevent a terrorist attack by breaking into that phone . David, some things are hard. And some things are right. And some things are both. This is one of those things. There are some things that just should never be created . Correct. Reporter today steve jobs would have turned 61. Cook says not a day goes by that he doesnt think about his iconic predecessor. Have you thought about what he would have done in this situtuion . Steve always did what he thought was right. And it is so clear to me that he loved what america was founded on so much and would do nothing to put all these customers at risk. Hed be doing the same thing. Reporter tim cook tells us they talked to the fbi early on, giving them advice, he says, on other ways to beses get information from that iphone, to plug it in, to back it up to the icloud. Did they do that . Unfortunately, in the days, early days of the investigation, fbi directed the county to reset the icloud password. When that is done, the phone will no longer back up to the cloud. And so i wish they would have contact thes earlier so that how crucial was that missed opportunity . Very crucial. The white house said this week that the fbis request is limited in scope. Limited in scope, do you agree with that . And have you talked to the president on this . I have not talked to the president. I will talk to the president. Do i think its limited . No. You have talked to the president before on these issues of privacy and security. Yes. Are you disappointed there wasnt more of a dialogue with the administration before this swift action from the Justice Department . Yes. You wish there was more done . Yes. I think there should have been. This filing we found out about the filing from the press. Reporter apple must respond to the court order by friday. m curious, tim. Did you ever think that youd find yourself at the center of such a crucial National Debate . No. This is not a pososion that we would like to be in. N. It is a very uncomfortable to oppose your government on something doesnt feel good. And to oppose it on something where we are advocating for civil liberties, which they are supposed to protect, it is incredibly ironic. David, thank you for that exclusive report. In response to our interview tonight a Government Official is telling abc news that it wants apple to be the only one who knows how they develop a new way into their phones, that the fbi doesnt want or need to know that secret. The debate continues. Up next on nightline, the woman at the center of a sensational case takes the stand. Did dalia dippolili high to hire a hit man to hill her husband . Celine dion singing all by hers in her first vegas concert since losing her husband. All by myself dont want to be all by myself anymore what the internet did for buying music and plane tickets and shoes . You would turn an intimidating process into an easy one. You could get a mortgage on your phone. And if it could be that easy, wouldnt more people buy homes . And wouldnt those buyers need to fill their homes with lamps and blenders and sectional couches with handlathed wooden legs . And wouldnt that mean all sorts of wooden legmaking oppounities for wooden g makers . And wouldnt those new leg makers own phones from which they could quickly and easily secure mortgages of their own, further stoking demand for necessary Household Goods as our tidal wave of ownership floods the country with new homeowners, who now must own other things and isnt that the power of america itself now shrunk to fit the hands of a child, or, more helpfully, a homebuying adult. With my moderate to severe ulcerative colitis, the possibility of a flare was almost always on my mind. Thinking about what to avoid, where to go. And how to deal with my uc. To me, that was normal. Until i talked to my doctor. She told me that humira helps people like me get uc under control and keep it under control when certain medications havent worked well enough. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Raise your expectations. Ask your gastroenterologist about humira. It is the alleged murder for hire case that made national headlines. Tonight the woman at the center of it, daliadippolito, takes the stand with an unusual defense. Herere abc ace linsey davis. Im positive, like 5,000 sure. Reporter Dalia Dippolito, the woman caught on tape saying she was 5,000 sure she wanted a hit man to hill her husband, was back in court yesterday. Taking the stand for the First Time Since her arrest in 2009 and her conviction in 2011 i have been accused of something that i didnt do. Reporter trying to explain her explanation . She was simply acting. This is supposed to be something you guys are going to put online so you can get publicity . On social media, right. So he can try to get an acting job from it. Reporter dalia says it was part of a plan she hatched with her then husband Michael Dippolito and former lover to get famous. This is acting . Yeah. Reporter prosecutors say that was no act. And allege she promised to pay this undercover cop posing as a hit man to kill her husband of six months. She parked the third space from here. You know, he gets two in the head. Reporter her now exhusband Mike Dippolito said he couldnt wait to see what she said in court. Let me know, ill be sitting in the back with popcorn. Walking on the sidewalk, this doesnt happen very often. No, it doesnt happen at all. Reporter in an exclusive this past december Dalia Dippolito said shes misunderstood. Who issalia dippolito . Understanding, sweet, compassionate. Because of that reporter at the time her newly hired highpowered attorneys wouldnt let her talk about certain parts of the case, particularly those seemingly damning videotapes, because shes now facing a new trial after her first conviction was overturned on a technicality. But yesterday there was no avoiding them. Shes forced to watch that moment weve all seen again and again. 5,000 percent sure. Thats all mohammad told you to say, right . Yes, he told me to say that. 5,000 sure . I needed to project confidence. And yeah. But thats what he told me, to make it look believable. Reporter perhaps the most surreal moment in the courtroom, when the prosecutor plays an audiotape of her trying to explain to her thenhusband mike that she actually didnt pay to have him killed. Can you help me . Its not true. You said you wanted to have me killed, i heard that. Its not true, that is not reporter according to her, mike was in on the performance from the beginning. So why, asks the prosecutor, is she trying so hard to convince him . You claim it was all made up, part of a script. How could that not be true . Reporter her attorney, brian claypool, says dalia is thehe innocent victim o o a famehungry Police Department. This case is about a Police Department that tossed her under the bus for purposes o getting fame on a cops tv show.

Reporter not long after filming the exchange between the police and dalia, the Police Posted the video online. Why did you go back to the Police Department and immediately post, on youtube, a video of the staged crime scene of Dalia Dippolito . Well, we posted it as part of our entire plan of publicizing the arrest in this case. You agree with me theres still a pending investitition on Dalia Dippolito and you posted the youtube video, right . Yes. Reporter dalias Attorney Says it adds up to only one conclusion, she was framed. Theres no question about it, that the Boynton BeachPolice Department was dead set on manufacturing a crime here. Legal correspondent sunny hostin says that remains to be seen. Is this a case of entrapment . Do i think that the Police Officers could have done better . Yes. And you certainly dont as the Police Spokesperson upload that video to youtube. Is that a case killer . No. It isnt. Seems unusual, correct me if im wrong, but for police to lie on camera and create a crime scene, make this elaborate circumstance to say, oh, your husbands dead, when he really isnt. That is unusual but not unheard of. I have to telll you that sting operations happen all the time. Reporter the Boynton BeachPolice Department stands behind their investigation telling abc news the cops show happened t t be here at the time of this investigation are were not in the business of producing television. Were in business of saving lives and we believe we did that in this case.
