Hi! Ore here with your Monday afternoon Newsround. On the way:

:00:09.:00:13.

Joe looks into plans for a fast food ad ban.

:00:14.:00:19.

And the seven mile-long dolphin super-pod!

:00:19.:00:22.

First up - junk food. A group representing most UK doctors says

:00:22.:00:25.

they want big changes to the way fast food and fizzy drinks are

:00:25.:00:30.

advertised as part of their plans to get us in shape. At the moment

:00:30.:00:33.

one in three kids will leave primary school overweight and they

:00:33.:00:43.
:00:43.:00:44.

want that to change, as Joe's been finding out. Advertising - it is

:00:44.:00:50.

big business. This year it is expected companies will spend �17.2

:00:50.:00:54.

billion in the UK to get people interested in their product, but

:00:54.:00:59.

the advertisements you see could be about to change. A group of doctors

:00:59.:01:08.

want advertisements for unhealthy foods banned before 8pm at night.

:01:08.:01:12.

One in four adults are classed as obese in the UK, and experts

:01:12.:01:22.

predict that will double by 2050. A group is calling on the government

:01:22.:01:27.

to treat unhealthy foods the same way it treat smoking - no

:01:27.:01:31.

advertisements. They have also recommended the price of fizzy

:01:31.:01:39.

drinks goes up by 20%, and they want to limit the amount of fast

:01:39.:01:45.

food places. This proposal would mean the advertisement breaks on

:01:45.:01:53.

shows like the X Factor would be junk food free. One of the things

:01:53.:01:56.

we don't know is whether it will really work because it has not been

:01:56.:02:02.

done before, but it might change the way people behave and the

:02:02.:02:08.

things they buy. The proposals have been criticised as unbalanced,

:02:08.:02:13.

saying plans are already under way to improve public health. The

:02:13.:02:21.

government is being asked to do more to change the shape of Britain.

:02:21.:02:24.

Well, you guys have been joining in the conversation on the Newsround

website. Should fast food ads be Thanks to everyone who's got in

touch. Next, Prime Minister David Cameron has arrived in India for a

:02:59.:03:02.

special three-day tour. The PM has travelled to the country to try and

:03:02.:03:05.

build better working and trade relations between the UK and India.

:03:05.:03:08.

Over the past decade India has become one of the world's biggest

:03:08.:03:10.

economies, but they still have strict rules about letting foreign

:03:10.:03:16.

businesses in. Now to Dartmoor in Devon where

:03:16.:03:18.

archaeologists say they've discovered jewellery dating back

:03:18.:03:23.

4,000 years underground. The team of experts found the treasure

:03:23.:03:26.

buried alongside the remains of a skeleton, which they think is from

:03:26.:03:31.

the bronze age - around 2,000 BC! It's rare to find earring studs and

:03:31.:03:34.

beads in such good condition, as the Dartmoor soil is usually too

:03:34.:03:41.

acidic to preserve things. If you're 13 or under and a budding

:03:41.:03:44.

writer, the BBC 500 Words competition is giving you the

:03:44.:03:49.

chance to prove what you can do with 500 words! Last year thousands

:03:49.:03:51.

of kids wrote stories about everything from Justin Bieber to a

:03:52.:03:57.

chocolate dinosaur! Hayley has been to meet this year's head judge

:03:58.:04:05.

Richard Hammond. Tell me about this competition. For one thing, it is

:04:05.:04:13.

for everybody to join in. Basically we want stories to come in 500

:04:13.:04:18.

words and it is up to you. It is a terrifying brief because it is

:04:18.:04:25.

entirely up to you. Anything? Literally, anything. Take one thing

:04:25.:04:32.

in your life. I am excited at looking at some really thrilling

:04:32.:04:37.

writing from these incredibly exciting young imaginations.

:04:37.:04:40.

Finally, some very lucky tourists in California got a shock when

:04:40.:04:42.

their boat was surrounded by a super-pod of dolphins. The boat's

:04:43.:04:45.

captain said he could see the group of creatures stretching for seven

:04:46.:04:48.

miles. Marine experts think they all came to the area because it's
