BBC World Service - World Have Your Say, Child Labour

Is it always bad for children to go to work?

Is it always bad for children to go to work? We speak to former child labourers after a group of academics said a UN convention which bans child labour is "harmful and unnecessary".

Also, we speak to people in the Democratic Republic of Congo on the day that the elected mandate of President Joseph Kabila runs out.

And we covered the breaking news of the shooting of the Russian Ambassador in Turkey.
