There's tight security in parts of Colombia as polls open for today's presidential election with a human rights activist and a far-right populist nicknamed 鈥渢he Tiger鈥 among the frontrunners. We'll have the latest from Bogota. Also on the programme: Israel says it's moving further into southern Lebanon as its war against Hezbollah intensifies; and a Georgian wine cellar once owned by Soviet leader Joseph Stalin has officially been unsealed.
