Occasionally we hear about how infant mortality is on the rise and that we fare badly compared to some other countries. But then we tend to move on, pretty quickly. • In the first in the series, 'Young Lives Lost', Newsnight attempts to unpick why so many of our children are dying. • Health correspondent Deb Cohen begins by looking at how smoking impacts some of the UK's youngest children and investigate whether as a society we're doing enough to bring those numbers down. • Emma Barnett also interviews Prof Sir Michael Marmot, one of the world's leading experts on health inequalities. • #Newsnight #BBCNews • Newsnight is the BBC's flagship news and current affairs TV programme - with analysis, debate, exclusives, and robust interviews. • Website: https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsnight • Twitter: / bbcnewsnight • Facebook: / bbcnewsnight
