Farm infected with foot-and-mouth
Cattle at a farm in Surrey have been found to be infected with foot-and-mouth disease.
Some 60 animals on the farm near Guildford have tested positive for the disease which wreaked havoc in 2001.
A 3km protection zone has been put in place around the premises and a UK ban imposed on movement of all livestock.
Gordon Brown has cancelled his holiday in Dorset and taken part in a meeting of the government's Cobra emergency committee by telephone about the issue.

A massive story most will remember in 2001 with horrible scenes of huge piles of infected cattle being burnt. Hopefully this'll be an isolated incident.
