The death toll from the Honduran prison fire rises dramatically and Xi Jinping's landlady.

The death toll from the Honduran prison fire, debate on whether it's time for Greece to walk away from the Euro and an interview with the landlady of China's heir-in-waiting.

Dotun Adebayo with news from around the world. 

Up All Night is live in Honduras throughout the morning getting the latest news and reaction to the prison fire which has left more than 350 people dead. We hear from an inmate who escaped by smashing through the roof, a Government minister who tells us the cause was not a riot, an independent prison inspector who says it's one of the worst prisons he's ever seen and our correspondent is with grieving relatives outside the gates.

Also on Up All Night we debate whether it's time Greece made the decision to walk away from the Eurozone. 

We hear about the two million people in America are still eligible to go to the polls despite being six feet under. 

Plus, we hear from the Iowan former landlady of the man who many expect will become the most powerful politican in the world, Xi Jinping, on the day they are reunited for the first time since 1985.
