Hillary Clinton is admitted to hospital with a blood clot.

Hillary Clinton is admitted to hospital with a blood clot and there's still no agreement between Republicans and Democrats on how to avoid the so-called 'fiscal cliff'.

Dotun Adebayo with news from around the world. Hillary Clinton is admitted to hospital in New York after doctors discover a blood clot. Her spokesman says she'll be treated and monitored for at least 48 hours. Her former speech writer Paul Glastris talks to Up All Night about the US Secretary of State who recently collapsed and suffered a concussion following a stomach complaint.

Republicans and Democrats in the US have failed to reach an agreement on how to avoid the so-called 'fiscal cliff.' Eric Pianin is Washington editor at the FiscalTimes.com and he tells the programme exactly what's at stake.

A young medical student who died from injuries she received two weeks ago when she was gang raped and tortured in Delhi has been cremated. Demonstrations and vigils have continued to be held across India and there have been widerspread demands for the government to take action. Sunitha Krishnan is herself a victim of rape and now an activist working to rescue women and children from prostitution. She asks why it has taken this widely reported incident for India to wake up to the fact that there is a rape in the country every minute.

Preparations are underway in Australia and New Zealand to welcome in 2013. Colin Peacock in Wellington and Phil Mercer in Sydney tell us everything about the countdown.

And there are highlights from Dotun's Diamond Jubilee trip to the Commonwealth country of Grenada in June.
