:00:00. > :00:12.Hey, guys, Ricky here. First up, how would you feel about

:00:13. > :00:16.having to pay extra money for sugary drinks, chocolate and sweets? The

:00:17. > :00:18.woman in charge of advising the Government on health issues in

:00:19. > :00:22.England says, "We may need to introduce a sugar tax", to help

:00:23. > :00:27.reduce obesity. Here's Leah with more.

:00:28. > :00:31.Some of the food we eat has a lot of sugar in it. I was quite surprised

:00:32. > :00:34.with the cereal and the tomato ketchup, because I thought that

:00:35. > :00:40.tomato ketchup would have quite a bit more sugar than the cereal. And

:00:41. > :00:43.too much of it isn't just bad for your teeth, it can also cause big

:00:44. > :00:48.health problems. And sometimes we eat sugar without realising it's

:00:49. > :00:52.hidden in our food. Quite a lot of processed foods have sugar added to

:00:53. > :00:56.them. A lot of pizzas have got added sugar. Fruit juices, yoghurt, they

:00:57. > :01:00.still add extra sugar to them to make them more desirable. Dame Sally

:01:01. > :01:04.Davies, who is in charge of advising the Government on health issues in

:01:05. > :01:09.England, says a tax on sugar may help to cut obesity and improve our

:01:10. > :01:13.health. But would a tax on sugar make a difference? Yeah, because it

:01:14. > :01:17.will stop people from eating so much of that and getting overweight.

:01:18. > :01:22.People don't buy chocolate and sweets so often. The food industry

:01:23. > :01:25.says it is working on reducing sugar in products. The Goverment's

:01:26. > :01:29.department of health told us it had always been clear that if food and

:01:30. > :01:34.drink companies fail to act, they will look at other options. Even so,

:01:35. > :01:39.there are no plans to introduce a sugar tax any time soon.

:01:40. > :01:43.In about an hour's time, England will face Denmark in a friendly at

:01:44. > :01:45.Wembley Stadium ahead of the Three Lions' preparations for this

:01:46. > :01:48.summer's World Cup in Brazil. Earlier today, manager Roy Hodgson

:01:49. > :01:51.revealed his not-so-secret weapon for getting his players into the

:01:52. > :01:56.winning mood, and it's not just Gerrard! The squad will be getting

:01:57. > :01:59.help from a top sports psychiatrist, who is going to be helping them get

:02:00. > :02:04.mentally prepared for the competition. Steve Peters has helped

:02:05. > :02:17.some of Team GB to victory at London 2012, and now Hodgson hopes he can

:02:18. > :02:26.do the same for the Three Lions. He might help the players be better

:02:27. > :02:32.mentally prepared. We are looking forward to his help.

:02:33. > :02:36.Finally, Australia's most populated city, Sydney, was hit by a storm of

:02:37. > :02:39.epic proportions earlier today. This time-lapse video shows the storm

:02:40. > :02:43.clouds and lightning rolling in across the harbour.

:02:44. > :02:46.Now, just time to tell you about what's coming up on Newsround

:02:47. > :02:49.tomorrow. It's World Book Day, and we'll have some very exciting

:02:50. > :02:53.authors right here in the studio. And if you're dressing up as your

:02:54. > :02:57.favourite character from a book, we want to see your pics before you

:02:58. > :02:58.head off to school. Check out the website in the morning for more

:02:59. > :03:01.details. Bye!
