  We're going to talk about a topic that's been in the news recently, and this topic is...

  The bird flu.

• 00:19

  That's right.

• 00:19

  So can you tell us what the bird flu really is?

• 00:22

  Basically, the story is a lot of chickens and birds keep getting this disease, and they've managed to...

• 00:29

  Pass this disease to humans.

• 00:30

• 00:39

  So it sounds scary.

• 00:41
