One of today's big stories is that has been of the presidential run-off election in the Democratic Republic of Congo. His main rival is not happy, and has vowed to challenge the vote by all means. It's a delicate situation, and international peacekeepers have deployed extra troops in the capital, Kinshasa - a Bemba stronghold.

Are you in Congo - what do you think of the election result? Mr Kabila says the country should remain quiet because a new page of its history had just been turned. Do you agree, or do you think this will just lead to more violence and uncertainty? Post your views here on the blog or to our .

In Japan, the lower house of parliament has encouraging teachers to instil thinking among students "respecting tradition and culture and loving the nation and homeland." Opponents fear the move could help fan a resurgence of nationalism. Nationalism is a big issue around the world, and has sparked some fiery debates on the show before.

Wherever you are in the world - should children be taught to love their country? Or is it more important to teach other values such as respect and tolerance? How important is national pride in your country? Post your thoughts here on the blog, or join the .

There's an in today's International Herald Tribune. Pope Benedict XVI is convening a summit Thursday to discuss the celibacy requirement for priests. The Vatican says the policy is not open for discussion. Proponents argue that allowing men to marry in the priesthood could help relieve a shortage of clergy in many parts of the world.

Should priests be allowed to marry? Is the Catholic church missing out on potentially good priests because of the requirement for celibacy?

Are big sporting events becoming just too expensive to host? The cost of the London Olympic Games in 2012 - it's now estimated at around £5 billion (almost $10 billion). And yesterday, FIFA president Sepp Blatter that the next World Cup could be moved from South Africa and said the 2010 hosts were further along at this point than Germany was four years ago. Are big sporting events pricing themselves out of the market, and becoming too difficult to host as costs spiral. Let us know your thoughts.

And terrorism continues to be a top priority in the UK, with more anti-terror legislation promised at the official opening of parliament yesterday. The Today programme on our sister station Radio 4 took an interesting view this morning, with Frank Gardiner looking at how all these terror warnings affect people's trust in the government. How much information do you want about terror threats? How much is enough to know you can trust the government? And how much is too much, leading you to live in a state of constant fear?

OJ Simpson's to launch a mock confession in book form is testing the editorial guidelines. This is a talking point in the US - no doubt - but it's also something of a publicity stunt. Should we be covering it?

Let us know what you think should be in the show tonight.
