Hello and welcome to your Newsround headlines with me Hayley.

:00:00.:00:00.

We've got the best goals from out in Brazil, plus...

:00:07.:00:08.

First, to something many of you may be eating or drinking today - sugar.

:00:09.:00:22.

Scientists are worried that too much of it is making kids obese,

:00:23.:00:25.

so now they want to make you pay more for it.

:00:26.:00:30.

Action on Sugar say that this is one of the biggest problems

:00:31.:00:33.

They say that one in five 10 to 11-year-olds in the UK is now obese,

:00:34.:00:40.

They think that by making you pay more for the food with sugar in it

:00:41.:00:54.

They also want to ban any junk food sponsorship of sports

:00:55.:00:58.

and stop adverts of sugary food being targeted at kids.

:00:59.:01:01.

What we're calling on is the soft drink industry and Jeremy Hunt

:01:02.:01:04.

in the Dept of Health to gradually reduce the huge amounts of sugar,

:01:05.:01:07.

like we have done with salt, and get sugar intake down and this will

:01:08.:01:10.

According to the research done by Action on Sugars, most cans of fizzy

:01:11.:01:15.

drinks contain 6 spoonfuls of sugar - and some can contain up to 15.

:01:16.:01:27.

They hope by taxing high-sugar food and drinks, that the amount of sugar

:01:28.:01:32.

The Swiss Alps in Europe are famous for adventure

:01:33.:01:57.

sports but there's one in particular which is causing some controversy.

:01:58.:02:01.

Base jumping involves leaping with a parachute from high platforms

:02:02.:02:04.

Some critics argue that it's too dangerous - and should be better

:02:05.:02:09.

Its fans say it's the ultimate experience, and that you should

:02:10.:02:15.

If you are not thinking about the risk everything you jump,

:02:16.:02:20.

It is something you need to assess every time.

:02:21.:02:25.

Also, people don't want to die. They don't come here thinking,

:02:26.:02:28.

I will go try to kill myself today, that is not the goal at all.

:02:29.:02:31.

Next to the World Cup in Brazil, where this German striker has

:02:32.:02:36.

cemented his place in football's history books.

:02:37.:02:40.

Miroslav Klose equalled the record of 15 goals at

:02:41.:02:42.

World Cups, as Germany came from behind to draw 2-2 with Ghana.

:02:43.:02:46.

Elsewhere, Argentina booked their place

:02:47.:02:49.

in the last 16 but their opponents Iran didn't make it easy for them.

:02:50.:02:53.

However, the Iranians couldn't stop this wonderful 91st minute strike

:02:54.:02:55.

from Lionel Messi, which clinched victory.

:02:56.:02:57.

Finally, Nigeria knocked out Bosnia-Herzegovina beating them 1-0.

:02:58.:03:03.

And if you like your World Cup commentary a little bit, well,

:03:04.:03:06.

alternative, here's Wigan's finest with news

:03:07.:03:09.

of a very "special" commentary during this afternoon's match.

:03:10.:03:18.

Today, 5pm, Belgian play Russia. Pressure red button. That is your

:03:19.:03:27.

red button, to join me, Wigan's best commentator. My friend will be

:03:28.:03:33.

joining me also. We will be talking all things football. I will talk

:03:34.:03:37.

about meat paste and Sue Barker and that. That is today at five p.m..

:03:38.:03:47.

Pressure red but in! -- press your red but in!

:03:48.:03:50.

If you had the chance to solve a big problem in the world,

:03:51.:03:53.

The Longitude Prize is a huge science challenge

:03:54.:03:56.

and voting is taking place to decide which of the six big world problems

:03:57.:03:59.

scientists should tackle for a chance to win ?10 million.

:04:00.:04:01.

This week we've looked at all six problems, and today it's dementia -

:04:02.:04:05.

how can we help people with dementia live independently for longer?

:04:06.:04:07.

A benefit of modern medicine is that more

:04:08.:04:11.

and more of us are living longer but an ageing population brings its

:04:12.:04:14.

own challenges, in particular caring for those living with dementia.

:04:15.:04:18.

Dementia is a condition that affects the brain.

:04:19.:04:20.

And gradually people lose the ability to remember things, they

:04:21.:04:23.

get confused, they get disorientated and struggle to communicate.

:04:24.:04:25.

As the condition gets worse, people can lose

:04:26.:04:28.

the ability to do things we all take for granted like getting dressed

:04:29.:04:31.

It can be difficult not only for the individual but also for

:04:32.:04:37.

We are a long way off for a treatment and a cure but it is

:04:38.:04:43.

hoped technology can be a huge help in caring for people with dementia.

:04:44.:04:47.

At Birmingham University, researchers have created this robot

:04:48.:04:50.

carer that can learn where someone leaves the slippers or keys and uses

:04:51.:04:56.

The robot can monitor the positions of people, looking to

:04:57.:05:03.

It can remind people or notify carers that someone has forgotten to

:05:04.:05:07.

take their medicine if they have not got up at the time they should.

:05:08.:05:12.

With today's technology, what the robot can do is restricted.

:05:13.:05:15.

Stairs are a problem, his arms can't do too much and his ability

:05:16.:05:20.

But it is hoped as robotics advances, a robot carer

:05:21.:05:26.

So if dementia gets chosen for the Longitude Prize,

:05:27.:05:32.

the challenge is to find a way to help people with dementia live

:05:33.:05:35.

-- live as independently as possible for as long as possible.

:05:36.:05:50.

Well, not according to judges who've crowned him the World's Ugliest Dog!

:05:51.:05:53.

The annual contest in America includes lots of rescue animals

:05:54.:05:55.

and aims to raise awareness of animal cruelty.

:05:56.:05:57.

That's it, I'm back just before two o'clock with loads more.

:05:58.:06:19.

Coming up on today's show, we've got our brand-new puppy here.

:06:20.:06:22.

American band R5 perform exclusively for you. Oh, and there's a puppy.

:06:23.:06:25.

And Lindsey and I put our dance skills to the test.

:06:26.:06:29.
