the fbi ahas a backlog of requests, this is one of them that had been consuming with which apple has not been complying lately. and the fbi i think chose the most unsympathetic case a terrible i.s.i.s. terrorist to pin apple against the back wall which it effectively of course does. apple then says okay we are taking the moral high ground we will never comply with such an evasive request even though we are customers- >> even though they have, it says bill gates sides with the fbi i'm paraphrasing, he came out later and told bloomberg no i didn't side with the fbi. listen to what bill gates says. >> apple has access to the information. they're just refusing to provide the access and the courts will tell them whether to provide the access or not. you shouldn't call it any special thing. has anybody ever been able to tell the phone company, bank records, there's no difference between information. the government's come asking for a specific set of information. >> now, bill gates claims he was being much more nuanced about this, and in fact when you listen to what he said he was being more

the battle tonight between the fbi and apple. months after the terror attack in san bernardino, the fbi is desperate to break into the iphone used by the gunman. and now, a judge is agreeing, demanding apple help the fbi break through the encryption on the phone. apple tonight refusing, saying this could set a dangerous precedent. and just a short time ago, the justice department releasing a statement, saying, quote, it is unfortunate that apple continues to refuse to assist the department. abc's senior justice correspondent pierre thomas tonight on both sides. >> reporter: tonight, the fbi and apple in a titanic clash between personal privacy and national security. >> shots fired. >> reporter: since the bloody end of the san bernadino attack, the deadliest since 9/11, the fbi has been helplessly staring iphone a-c like this one. >> we still have one of those killer's phones that we have not been able to open. it's been over two months now. >> reporter: and tonight, a federal judge is now siding with the fbi, ordering apple to fin

now the fbi wants apple to help them crack the iphone used by one of the shooters. the fbi has been unable to get into syed farook's iphone. the phone would automatically erase key data and make it permanently inaccessible. apple says creating a hack would danger all iphone users and create major privacy issues. the white house thinks apple should give in. >> they are not asking apple to redesign or create a back door. they're simply asking for something that would have an impact on this one device. >> investigators want to get into the phone to see how involved isis was in the attack. >> coming up, some of you agree that apple should not find a way around the pass woed. if apple should be forced to play ball. >>> a new poll is out just ahead of the next primary in south carolina. it shows republican candidate donald trump holding on to his lead in that state. the latest cnn poll in south carolina shows bush, rubio and cruz trailing trump. hillary clinton has a nearly 20 point advantage. both candidates appeared on nevada public television last night. democrats caucu

according to a pew research center poll, 51% say apple should be able to help the fbi. 38% say apple should not. 11% say percent say apple should not. 11% say they do not know what should be done. we are taking a closer look at why this case matters and why so many people are passionate about supporting apple. if you have an iphone, one of these apple supporters say it's one of these homes in a gated community. wanted for a serious crime police want to get inside his inside. so please go to the developer of your gated community and instead of asking for one keep your neighbor's home they want a key to every single home in the entire neighborhood. apple is saying, just like you want to protect your home, they want to protect the private information on your iphone. speemac courtney, something we should point out is that no matter what side you are on some people say the entire argument could be avoided if there was special software perhaps that was installed on the shooters county issue phone. speemac that's right and 10 news reporter, jenny dean is digging deeper into that and she exp

apple. didn't the fbi and apple team up far earlier in one of those secret labs and get this done and no one would have had to knowbout it? >> i can't talk about the tactics of the fbi. they've chosen what they've done. they've 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 stand tall and stand talll on principle. there's probably more information about you on your phone than there is in your house. our smartphones are loaded with our intimate coersations, our financial data, our health records. they're also loaded with the location of our kids, in many cases. so it's not just about privacy, but it's also about public safety. >> if you didn't think this would set a precedent, if you didn't believe this would be a slippery slope, is this something your engineers could do and how quiuickly could they do it? take. would i do it? in a perfect world where none of the implications that i'm talking about exist? yes, we would do it. we would obviously do it. but we don't live in a perfect world.
