BBC Radio 5 Live - Up All Night, 31/07/2011

Deadline looms in the US debt crisis, more deaths in Syria and the Virtual Jukebox too.

Democrats and Republicans get cautiously optimistic about sorting America's debt crisis. Plus reaction to the World Cup draw and the latest from the Big Apple in the New York hour.

Dotun Adebayo with news from around the world. 
Democrats and Republicans are getting cautiously optimistic over the chances of raising the US debt limit by Tuesday. We find out how realistic those chances are with correspondents in Washington and Professor Irwin Kellner, the chief economist at Marketwatch.
Dyveke Nilssen, a journalist in Oslo, talks to us about Anders Breivik, who has revealed in a police interview that he had more targets in mind as part of last week's attacks in Norway.
We spend 60 minutes in the city that never sleeps in the New York hour. Tara Gadomski and film maker, Caryn Waechter, discuss when to use the word "foist", the benefits of the Staten Island ferry and the free attractions the Big Apple has to offer.
And Edward Adoo and David Marshall Pryce join us live in the studio for the Virtual Jukebox - your chance to choose 100 of Up All Night's favourite songs.
