Tonga's prime minister Akilisi Pohiva asked other leaders to fight obesity through a year-long weight-loss challenge. The challenge will start in September. He said: "When we meet the following year, we will weigh in again and see who has lost the most." Leaders have talked about this issue for many years.

Pacific island nations are losing the fight against child obesity. The World Health Organization said 20 per cent of children in 10 Pacific island countries are obese.
