BBC World Service - World Have Your Say, 63 Year Old 'Cover Girl'

US model Christie Brinkley has done a swimwear photo shoot at 63. Is she a role model?

US model and actress Christie Brinkley's latest photo shoot shows her looking super-glamorous in her swimsuit aged 63. So is she a role model for older women, or is this an unwelcome image that puts pressure on them to look far younger than their age?  

We also hear from Nigerian students about the new dress code at Lagos University, and from Yemenis as a new appeal talks about the threat of mass starvation in the country. 

Finally, in the era of 'alternative facts', people are mourning, celebrating and sharing stories of rock star statistician Hans Rosling. We hear from people he worked with and scientists he inspired about what made him so unique.
