Japan has confirmed a new case of bird flu in an area that has already been hit by the disease. A farm north of Tokyo, that came out clean in previous tests, is infected by the disease. Authorities immediately banned movement of chickens and their eggs within five kilometers of the poultry farm. It's near another farm that discovered a flu outbreak in June.
