BBC World Service - World Have Your Say, Young politicians

How young is too young for political office?

How young is too young for political office? The appointment of 24 year old Anastasia Deyeva as deputy interior minister in Ukraine has provoked criticism from some who say she is too young. But does a politician's age really matter?

Plus - we continue our conversation about medicine price hikes in Sudan and look at how it's affecting those in need of treatment

Also we hear from Nigeria and discussions around a report accusing the country's security forces of killing more than 150 peaceful protesters since August 2015 

And #HowToAvoidPoliticsAtDinner is trending in the US as families sit down to Thanksgiving, we'll hear from some of them.
