ELEANOR HALL: Governments around the world have been given a grim warning today about the threat posed by the latest potential global pandemic.

The scientists have used different population bases, but have arrived at the same conclusion, that without effective controls, a mutated virus could travel around the world within three months, as Karen Barlow reports.
