Steeven Biset is on strike in Birmingham - which is in its third week of all-out action by refuse collectors as Unite fights restructuring and pay cuts - but he hopes for a resolution within weeks.Describing how he was hit by a car, Mr Biset said: "I looked left, I looked right. As I looked right, all I saw was a bonnet. The job doesn't come without its risks."Birmingham City Council said the job was fully risk-assessed, with workers advised to report any health and safety issues.

Mr Biset, who lives in Small Heath, said most of the binmen on strike were also Birmingham residents, adding the strikers wanted the situation resolved as much as the public.

"The only ones that are going to clear this up are us," he said. "Not the bosses who have made this whole mess in the first place. All we can do as Birmingham residents and binmen is apologise for the situation."The AP had argued that the administration violated the news agency's constitutional right to free speech by restricting access due to disagreements over language.

In February, Judge McFadden had declined to immediately restore its access to presidential events.After Tuesday's ruling, AP spokeswoman Lauren Easton said the agency was "gratified by the court's decision".

"Today's ruling affirms the fundamental right of the press and public to speak freely without government retaliation. This is a freedom guaranteed for all Americans in the US Constitution," she said in a statement.Shortly after the judge's ruling, though, two AP journalists were turned away from covering an event that Trump attended on Tuesday night, the agency reported in an update on Wednesday.
