Sri Lanka votes in President Rajapaksa

Mahinda Rajapaksa is celebrating a convincing victory in the country's presidential election. 

Polls show he beat his rival, the former army general, Sarath Fonseka, by almost twenty per cent.

But Fonseka has rejected the result, and troops have been deployed on the streets of the capital, Colombo.
