Nicky Campbell takes your calls on the day's big story. England's chief medical officer says we should be 'profoundly ashamed' of our children's health. Is she right?

England's chief medical officer says we should, calling the state of our kids' health "very worrying" - and saying that they deserve better.

England's Health Watchdog says parents of overweight children should monitor how much time they spend watching TV and playing computer games. Today, a documentary's being released to try to get them off the sofa and playing outside. 'Project Wild Thing' says young people - in cities and the countryside - have lost touch with nature. It blames the parents, the media whipping up fear of crime - and the amount of traffic on our roads.
