The midwives who stopped murdering girls and started saving them | BBC News
Warning: includes content some viewers may find distressing .
Almost thirty years ago, a journalist in India’s northern state of Bihar interviewed a group of village midwives who told a shocking story.
Speaking on camera, these women admitted that they routinely murdered new-born baby girls on the orders of the girls’ families.
These shocking confessions — unseen until now — are the starting point for a documentary that explores the disturbing history of infanticide in rural India.
But the film does not end with the killings. This is also a story about a remarkable campaign to save baby girls from being murdered at birth — a campaign that relied upon the very midwives who had carried out the killings.

Six months after the United States and Israel launched military action against Iran, the conflict shows no sign of coming to an end.
As Washington turns its focus to economic pressure, Tehran remains defiant – with the Strait of Hormuz seen as key leverage.
The uncertainty keeps economies and markets volatile, pushing up prices around the world and straining international relations.
A conflict that US President Donald Trump said would last a few weeks has now lasted half a year, so where do we go from here and when might the war end?

It’s nearly eight weeks since Russia invaded Ukraine, forcing about four million people to flee their homes.
So far only 12,000 of them have reached the UK – and that’s partly down to delays in granting visas.
Residents in the town of Aberfeldy in Perthshire, Scotland, say they are making it their mission to welcome as many Ukrainians as possible.
Home Secretary Priti Patel has apologised for the “frustrating” visa delays which have prevented thousands of Ukrainian refugees entering the UK.
