Bangladesh and Indonesia

Rani Singh meets the doctor saving babies born prematurely in Bangladesh. In Jakarta, Alice Budisatrijo follows the furore after Indonesia's latest child abuse scandal.

In Bangladesh, 71% of women give birth at home. This is a risky business, not least for those babies born prematurely. In Dhaka, Rani Singh meets a doctor trying to turn things around, saving babies' lives despite limited resources and challenging conditions.

Indonesians are in uproar after it was alleged that children at a top international school have been abused by the school cleaners. From Jakarta, Alice Budisatrijo examines the social media outrage, and wonders whether it might prompt change.
