Refusing to do overtime, and have been carrying out two hour stoppages every day which rose to three hours today. The dispute is about planned changes to working practices. Our correspondent sima kotecha reports. It looks bad and smells even worse. Piles and piles of rubbish strewn across birmingham streets. On this road, it has been a week since the rubbish was collected. We saw a rat over there yesterday. Absolutely disgraceful. Forfour weeks, its been here. Absolutely terrible. So we pay all that money in council taxes, and they wont come and get it. Give the binmen what they want. It is disgusting. We come out of our house and it smells of rotten food. It is horrible. Dirty nappies. Obviously, there is no other way to dispose of them. Try and get as much poo off them as possible, but theres always some left. When you open the bin, all you get is a whiff. Flies flying out of big green ones. The stench in this part of rubbish really is unbearable. Im not sure if you can see it, but there are flies everywhere. With this strike due to continue to september, for People Living on the street, the smell is going to get a lot worse. Since early this month, bin workers have been striking for two hours every day over conditions and pay cuts. From today, they will be striking for three hours a day. Jackies fed up with how its is looking around where she lives. And then you have these bags piling up around the door. She walks around here estate to see where its worst. This is possibly a Public Health hazard. I have lived here for over 30 years, and i have never known it to be this bad. It is worrying to residents, especially those with young children. The local council says Budget Constraints mean they need to adopt a new way of working, and that wont involve, they say, any work or pay cuts. The two sides say they are now willing to sit down and talk. But if there is no resolution, these strikes will go on. Sima kotecha, bbc news, birmingham. Coming up shortly will be the film review, but first heres click. Vegas, home to casinos. Elvis, sort of. Superfast knot tying. Wide open spaces. Limos. The strip. And this week, the largest hack fest on the planet. If theres one week of stuff in vegas that isnt staying in vegas, its this weeks bsides, black hat and notorious def con gatherings. This is the week where hackers rub up against Law Enforcers and Everyone Peeks over each others shoulders and networks. So, lets get straight into the action. And for our first act of the show. Daniel here has got an extra piece of Software Running allowing him to hear whats being typed on the other end of a skype call. So how does it work . The software during a skype call learns how your keyboard sounds like and if you later during the call type something sensitive, like a password or e mail, we can understand what youve typed using Machine Learning algorithms. This is because each key has a unique fingerprint based on the position of the key on the keyboard. The suggested results from what our victim might be typing are listed on the screen. As you can see, its spotted every word except one but when asked to choose the words to make the most likely sentence, its not so on the money. So, this is scott helme. He is notjust our victim, hes also a Security Researcher who is here to keep click on track with a hackers view of the conferences for the next couple of episodes. Hello, scott. Hello. What do you think . So, the technology is still quite young. It took a bit of setup to make this work but Technology Advances quite quickly and things that are difficult today will probably be easy tomorrow. We have seen some things like this before as well. I looked at a hack recently where they could measure the vibrations in a crisp packet to record my voice. So i think in the future, things and technologies like this could be quite bad because its going to allow people to extract a lot more information from our devices. Wow, sobering thoughts. It seems like the hackers are always going to find new and interesting ways to get inside our computers. It was me and two other friends, just a bit of fun. I manipulate peoples feelings, thoughts. I started getting bullied. We tried to break into our schools network. We could control peoples screens, change passwords. I got arrested for misuse of computer act, 1990, section three. I cant name the company but they lost a lot of money. This is definitely a way to get ahead of the curve and to stop anyone from possibly taking a misinformed choice as to the direction of their life. This is the uks first reboot camp for hackers. The first seven through the doors, aged 16 20, all intend to change their ways, so weve agreed to keep their identities secret. Rehab includes spotting moments when they might be tempted to cross the line of whats legal and whats not. That looks like i could get everyones details. Your parents will not have any idea how you do what you do. It will be like magic. Solomon gilbert was caught as a teenage offender. Now hes the one giving the lecture is, in between Tackling Cybercrime himself. I was 17 years old. I was getting drawn into Making My Own malicious code, Making My Own exploits, stealing things like credit card information, data base information. I wouldnt do anything with them, but it ended up with me getting kicked out of school and arrested and looked into by the counterterrorism intelligence unit. What were the key moments that changed your path . Everyone in the Cyber Security industry has one person that theyve met thats gone, well, youre very talented at this, lets move you to do it as a job. Cyber security challenge uk has set up a Capture The Flag competition so that teenagers can show off their skills. Several Large Companies are here to talk future job opportunities. Uk hasnt got enough people to protect itself. Businesses, the nation, individual accounts, we all Need Protecting and thats why we exist. We need to find these people. Theyre there. We know theyre there, we need to find them. These offenders know this is a second chance, one they didnt realise they were so well qualified for. I was more interested in the dark side, back when i was young. I wasnt really looking at the good side. The dark side was mainlyjust attacks, attacks, attacks, not thinking about defending. Well, now i know that it exists, it sounds like something that id really, really like to go into because you get the same, like, rush, the same excitement, but youre doing it for fun, still, but its legal and you get paid. Its like every kind of benefit. Humans have been using handprints to identify themselves for a very long time. These ones here, the hands across time just outside las vegas, in red rock, are hundreds of years old. Theyre some of the earliest examples of Native Americans showing their identity. Kind of like a signature. In recent years weve started to use our hands to identify us again, and dans been finding out how secure they might be. At bristol robotics lab, theyre taking an interest in every detail. Now, if youre sensitive to flashing lights, look away now. Is that more secure, then, than just using your fingerprint . Certainly. With a fingerprint, its a small region of the hand. Obviously with this system were getting the whole surface and that, combined with the Vein Structure, just add an extra layer of security. Do you think this could be spoofed . I think its unlikely. Research recently showed the ability to extract fingerprints or handprints off celebrities from a distance. From photos . From photos. So, you could use that to generate a 3 d surface but you still wouldnt have the Vein Structure on the back of the hand. That would be very difficult to hack. In chicago, some people are already using their palm and to pay for things. Its being called naked payment. No cards, cash or phones. From september, tsb will be the first bank in europe to adopt Retina Scan Technology as a way of accessing online bank accounts, although initially customers will need a Samsung Galaxy s8 handset to use the technology. But is it secure . In may, the Chaos Computer Club in germany posted this video, fooling the s8s iris scanner using a photograph and a contact lens. Tsb and samsung are hoping that others wont go to that sort of trouble. At the Cylab Biometrics Center in pittsburgh, theyve developed a system that can identify the irises of people moving in a crowd from up to 12 metres away. But if the eyes dont have it, the face just might. Back at bristol robotics lab, this 3 d face scanner is using a technique theyve developed called photometric stereo. Two invisible lights flash at high speed, allowing the camera to capture the orientation, shape and texture of what it sees. So far, it has a 95 accuracy rate but thats good enough to attract some major investment. They are working with cubic, which develops the oyster card, contactless Payment System used in londons trains and buses. Its being part funded by the British Government to innovate gateless technologies, allowing passengers to simply walk into a station and onto a train. You can imagine, if you can get rid of the gate line in a place like victoria station, theres a massive potential for increasing throughput. So we ran quite an interesting project for them, which they are now installing at their laboratory in salford and the aim is to move it on to the underground so that the system will recognise people and you get rid of the gates and it will allow people to go through without any impediments. Now, this is a is a prototype but we have been told that the system will recognise even a pair of glasses. So, lets see if it knows who i am now. Look at that, you can see my name come up right there. It could make your life so easy. Just walk around, the face is the key to doing everything you want to do in the modern world. And just to double check, ive tried to fool it with this guy. Oh, look at that. It recognises me, but this is very clearly an impostor. This face clearly isnt going to get me anywhere. Dan simmons, being shredded. Sorry, dan. So, thats it for another week. Of course well be back with more next week from vegas, including scotts hackers guide to def con. Until next week, then. Hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. To take us through this weeks cinema releases,
