## Resource

Nineteen people in Indonesia have been convicted and jailed for trafficking dozens of babies, selling some of them for adoption in Singapore. Also in the programme: Kuwait says several desalination and power plants were damaged in Iranian attacks as Tehran continues to strike its neighbours as part of its war with the US; the sixteen year-old Indian who's proud to call herself one of the cockroaches; and the spread of childhood obesity in Italy, the home of the Mediterranean diet.
