Bin strikes, stinking rubbish and rats – what's life like in Birmingham now?

Sky News Daily - A podcast by Sky News

It's been five weeks since the Birmingham bin strikes began over a long-running dispute between workers and the council. The city's residents have complained that mounting rubbish is a risk to public health, with rotting food attracting foxes, cockroaches and rats.  Tom Cheshire speaks to Sky's Midlands correspondent, Shamaan Freeman-Powell, who's been in the city finding out how residents are dealing with the mounting rubbish, the smell and the rats - and whether an end to the strikes is in sight. Podcast producer: Natalie KtenaEditor: Wendy Parker
