Could bird flu halt the World Cup?

99 days to go, and Sepp Baltter, FIFA President, says bird flu could cancel the tournament.

Mr Blatter said a flu pandemic could lead to the tournament being called off. "At the moment, there's no question of cancelling," he said. "But if it should turn out that bird flu develops into a threat, like cholera or the plague, if it passes on from human to human, it is a decision for the government and we must respect that."
