We have to understand that all of Africa is infected. The spread of the virus is wider than we can see from newspapers.

Only birds can be infected. There is no bird flu strain that can be transmitted to humans in Dagestan.

I think that the court was able to sort out a complicated criminal case and made a fair decision.

We don't have a spread of the virus, what we have is the introduction of the virus into countries of the European Union. The difference is that it's human activities, through commerce, through the market place, through the way we raise our poultry that we get disease spread. The fact that in Europe, in many countries, it's been picked up in migratory birds, is very, very relevant, it means that the European authorities -- Italy, Greece, Germany, Denmark, Austria -- are monitoring, doing active surveillance in the wild bird population.

It's the first of it's type, because simply activating the e-mail that is infected will launch the virus, ... It totally bypasses the previous philosophy of 'don't open that attachment if you don't know what it is.'

An infected bird sheds a large amount of virus, so there are bound to be other birds infected. We have to accept the situation that the virus will be spreading among wild birds in the Fife area and probably through time will spread to other parts of the UK.
