Reports say tests have confirmed the presence of the deadly H5N1 flu strain in samples taken from birds in the central Russian region of Tambov. There is also pressure for an EU-wide ban on importing live wild birds. An increasing number of EU countries have also ordered farmers to ensure poultry is kept indoors.
