Polls show that concerns about migration and border controls are likely to play a big role in how Britons will vote in a referendum on June 23 on Britain's EU membership. The Vote Leave campaign, one of the groups pushing for an exit, compiled a dossier listing people who it described as the 50 most dangerous citizens from EU countries in Britain and who committed offences including murder and rape in the country.

| 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.

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.
