s. good evening. this is al jazeera america. the f.b.i. unlocked the fine of one of the san bernardino shooters. t the only suspect charged in last week's brussels attack has been released. >> police shoot a man who pulled a gun at a checkpoint. what authorities know about him. >> i do not think we have to discriminate against anyone to protect the faith-based community in georgia. >> the governor on changes impacting the state's lgbt community and the impact for that same group in north

carolina. ♪ the justice department says the f.b.i. has managed to unlock an iphone that belonged to one of the san bernardino attackers without any help from apple. investigators are analyzing the data inside. as a result, the doj said it is dropping the legalffort against apple. apple had been fighting an order to unlock the phone. jacob ward has more from san francisco. >> reporter: antonio, it's strange to see something fought as bitter lee as this battle end in this way. the justice department says it does not need apple's help any longer. in the early reporting about the possibility that they had found an outside solution to this problem, both the timing of the release and the way that they had talked about had many

observers suggesting this was some sort of third-party contractor that the justice had employed to do this kind of work. >> may be who solved this problem. observers are suggesting it was probably some sort of copying of the contents of the phone off of the phone and then recopying them back on when you needed to basically start over in your efforts to try to break in. that's probably the technical essence of the solution. but all of that is really beside the point. the point here is that this fight is not over. this is not the last time you are going to see apple in court making the arguments that it wants to make in these sorts of cases. this phone, an iphone 5c was pretty primitive by the modern standards of it encription. it was the last generation of the hardware and software before apple wild lee upgraded its software. it's difficult for even itself to get into a phone of someone, of one of its customers.

so, the f.b.i., although they have solved this problem with this particular phone has not necessarily solved the problem it's going to apply to any newer phone that i or maybe you carry. we are definitely going to see more fight about this in unsealed court documents. we have seen there are at least a half dozen other cases in which the justice department is telling apple to help them out and apple is objecting. the fight is 235r from over all though this particular case of iphone has been solved. >> jacob ward in san francisco 4 victims of the brussels attacked suck om today their wound. the judge ordered the release of the only person charged in last week's bombings. john terrett explains why. >> reporter: nearly a week after the attack on brussels airport, one of the city's metrotations, belgian police released this man.

community. >> i do not think we have to discriminate against anyone to protect the faith-based community in georgia. >> reporter: lawmakers supporting the bill said it's about religious freedom and on monday, state senator josh mccunn said it is a fantasy that this bill would harm anyone but critics say it would have allowed a cover for dim criminal nation. some companies have threatened to pull business from georgia. film and t.v. production is a $6 milli $6 million business including capital america and civil war were shot. the governor said the pressure he faced had nothing to do with his decision. >> they should know, i do not respond very well to insults or threats. >> also on monday, a new lawsuit filed against the state of north carolina over a law that critics say treats lbgt people as second

and kansasages could face the threat of major earthquakes. joining us is pat abbott, professor emeritus. it is good to see you. i want to start here seeing the increase in seismic events in oklahoma and other states where frac something occurring. there is no question there is a direct correlation? >> almost definitely. but i would like to separate two different things, the fragging of taking one well and breaking rock apart to free natural gas or oil is not as much an effect for causing earthquakes. it's an effect. but the ones that are most responsible are the waste water disposal wells taking volumes of waste water and shoving that back underground under huge pressure. that's the ones that are triggering the majority of these earthquakes. >> that waste water is injected thousands of feet underground. >> puts more pressure on subterranean faults?

exactly and the -- if it's just heading in regular rocks, just pushing the water into rocks t will rupture, and a rupture is what generates an earthquake. that's liveable. a lot of small earthquakes but the biggest fear or worry is there is an ancients history. there are some large faults from an earlier time been either the surface in oklahoma and if we use a lot of that water under pressure to, shall we say, begin to pry apart one of those ancients faults, we might be able to have one of those faults move tore a long time at a long distance and, of course, that's the key for earthquake size. the longer the rupture distancewise and the longer time it is rupturing, putting out energy, the larger earthquake. >> a soaring number of earthquakes but an increase already in intensity of earthquakes in these fracking states? >> exactly. for the most part, so far, it's just been large number of increases much earthquakes, 3.5,

4.5. things that rattle you a little bit but they are not really a great has addressed. now, the recordquake size in oklahoma recently at 5.7 magnitude, that knocks down some chimneys and does things that aren't good. but so far, we have stayed below the catastrophic level. in t in the u.s. globally, remember the chinaquake in 2008, 87,000 people killed and some giant pandas? that almost certainly was triggered by the building of a dam risks

california governor jerry brown struck a deal to raise the state's minimum wage. melissa chan reports the plan will raise the state's minimum wage to $15 an hour. >> reporter: from los angeles to san francisco, major cities in san francisco have already raged minimum wage but a statewide hike would raise prices by more than 50% in some areas. >> this is a significant wage increase for the wage workers. we are in a place, in a state, wages have been stagnating or declining since the late 1970s. >> in oakland, minimum wage workers make $12.55.

they would make more money if the law passes . >> i am for it. i have definitely been in a position where i have had to work, you know, minimum wage jobs that were like $67 an hour. >> we will probably have to, you know, juggle things around a little bit but, you know, i see my employees struggle with $12. so, i am all for it. >> state lawmakers were under pressure to make a deal. some of california's most powerful unions managed to get a ballot initiative straight to the voters. the united healthcare workers west issued this statement about the compromise saying, quote, if a california minimum wage bill passes and is signed into law by the governor, we will take a careful look at it. our executive board will decide with a to do with our ballot initiative. a vote in the california legislature could come as early as the end of the week and would make california the leader in the national campaign to

increase pay for low income workers. new york is also considering a statewide minimum wage increase to $15 an hour. >> it is extremely popular issue. minimum wage increases are popular among democrats. they are popular among independent. they are popular among republicans. minimum wage has gone on the ballot in the reddest of reddest state and passed. >> the chain would mean a raise for one out of every three workers in the state. that's a huge impact. of course, in an election year with the debate on minimum wage a major topic in the presidential contest, this development will only add to the momentum for federal level change. melissa chan, al jazeera. >> researchers are reporting promising results using a simple blood test to diagnose concussions. studies lead authors are sometimes subtle and do not show up for several days.
