Hey, guys, Ricky here. First up, how would you feel about

:00:00.:00:12.

having to pay extra money for sugary drinks, chocolate and sweets? The

:00:13.:00:16.

woman in charge of advising the Government on health issues in

:00:17.:00:18.

England says, "We may need to introduce a sugar tax", to help

:00:19.:00:22.

reduce obesity. Here's Leah with more.

:00:23.:00:27.

Some of the food we eat has a lot of sugar in it. I was quite surprised

:00:28.:00:31.

with the cereal and the tomato ketchup, because I thought that

:00:32.:00:34.

tomato ketchup would have quite a bit more sugar than the cereal. And

:00:35.:00:40.

too much of it isn't just bad for your teeth, it can also cause big

:00:41.:00:43.

health problems. And sometimes we eat sugar without realising it's

:00:44.:00:48.

hidden in our food. Quite a lot of processed foods have sugar added to

:00:49.:00:52.

them. A lot of pizzas have got added sugar. Fruit juices, yoghurt, they

:00:53.:00:56.

still add extra sugar to them to make them more desirable. Dame Sally

:00:57.:01:00.

Davies, who is in charge of advising the Government on health issues in

:01:01.:01:04.

England, says a tax on sugar may help to cut obesity and improve our

:01:05.:01:09.

health. But would a tax on sugar make a difference? Yeah, because it

:01:10.:01:13.

will stop people from eating so much of that and getting overweight.

:01:14.:01:17.

People don't buy chocolate and sweets so often. The food industry

:01:18.:01:22.

says it is working on reducing sugar in products. The Goverment's

:01:23.:01:25.

department of health told us it had always been clear that if food and

:01:26.:01:29.

drink companies fail to act, they will look at other options. Even so,

:01:30.:01:34.

there are no plans to introduce a sugar tax any time soon.

:01:35.:01:39.

In about an hour's time, England will face Denmark in a friendly at

:01:40.:01:43.

Wembley Stadium ahead of the Three Lions' preparations for this

:01:44.:01:45.

summer's World Cup in Brazil. Earlier today, manager Roy Hodgson

:01:46.:01:48.

revealed his not-so-secret weapon for getting his players into the

:01:49.:01:51.

winning mood, and it's not just Gerrard! The squad will be getting

:01:52.:01:56.

help from a top sports psychiatrist, who is going to be helping them get

:01:57.:01:59.

mentally prepared for the competition. Steve Peters has helped

:02:00.:02:04.

some of Team GB to victory at London 2012, and now Hodgson hopes he can

:02:05.:02:17.

do the same for the Three Lions. He might help the players be better

:02:18.:02:26.

mentally prepared. We are looking forward to his help.

:02:27.:02:32.

Finally, Australia's most populated city, Sydney, was hit by a storm of

:02:33.:02:36.

epic proportions earlier today. This time-lapse video shows the storm

:02:37.:02:39.

clouds and lightning rolling in across the harbour.

:02:40.:02:43.

Now, just time to tell you about what's coming up on Newsround

:02:44.:02:46.

tomorrow. It's World Book Day, and we'll have some very exciting

:02:47.:02:49.

authors right here in the studio. And if you're dressing up as your

:02:50.:02:53.

favourite character from a book, we want to see your pics before you

:02:54.:02:57.

head off to school. Check out the website in the morning for more

:02:58.:02:58.

details. Bye!
