Christmas dinner warning amid bird flu outbreak

More than half of all farm geese destined for dinner tables this Christmas have been culled after another outbreak of bird flu, it emerged today. Government vets confirmed the outbreak at a farm in Breckland, Norfolk, the county's fourth case in the last week.
