| U.S. succeeds in cracking Apple's iPhone, drops legal action | |  By Dan Levine SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - The U.S. Justice Department said on Monday it had succeeded in unlocking an iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino shooters and dropped its legal case against Apple, ending a high-stakes legal battle but leaving the broader struggle over encryption unresolved. The abrupt end to a confrontation that had transfixed the tech industry was a victory for Apple, which vehemently opposed a court order obtained by the Justice Department that would have required it to write new software to get into the iPhone. "From the beginning, we objected to the FBI's demand that Apple build a back door into the iPhone because we believed it was wrong and would set a dangerous precedent," Apple said in a statement late on Monday.

| Special Report - How Asian test-prep companies exposed the new SAT | |  On the morning of Saturday, March 5, students gathered at test centres around the United States to take the SAT, the all-important college entrance exam.

| Japan public divided as laws easing limits on military take effect | |  By Linda Sieg TOKYO (Reuters) - Laws loosening the limits of Japan's pacifist constitution on its military took effect on Tuesday as surveys showed the public remained divided over a change that allows Japanese troops to fight overseas for the first time since World War Two. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has said the security legislation, the biggest change in Japan's defence policy since the creation of its military in 1954, is vital to meet new challenges including a rising China. Critics say the changes, which triggered mass demonstrations ahead of their enactment last September, violate the pacifist constitution and increase the risk of involvement in foreign wars.

| Seattle's famously stubborn #ManInTree charged with mischief, assault | |  By Eric M. Johnson SEATTLE (Reuters) - A man who refused for 25 hours to climb down from the canopy of a giant sequoia in downtown Seattle was charged on Monday with malicious mischief and assault over his treetop standoff, which drew national headlines and created a sensation on social media. Prosecutors also requested a court order to keep Cody Lee Miller, 28, from going near the 80-foot-tall (24-meter) tree again, according to charging documents filed in King County on Monday. Miller was arrested last week after a day-long confrontation with authorities who tried to cajole him down from the tree, located on public property in downtown Seattle, police said.

| Week after attack, Belgium reopens wounds | |  By Alastair Macdonald BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Manneken Pis, the cherubic little statue insouciantly relieving himself in the heart of Brussels, has become a cheeky symbol of Belgian resistance to terror in the week since suicide bombers struck the capital. "So it is really a shock to the nation." The government announced measures to combat the threat from local Muslims radicalised by Islamic State in Syria four months ago when it emerged November's attacks in Paris were the work of Brussels militants who had plotted undisturbed by underfunded and loosely coordinated authorities in laissez-faire Belgium. Ministers may find support for tougher action, such as closer surveillance of suspects: "A little bit of Brussels died in me this week," wrote Bart Eeckhout, a commentator in the city's left-leaning, Dutch-language newspaper, De Morgen.
