As President Obama unveils plans to cut four trillion dollars from the US budget deficit, Up All Night asks what effect the idea is likely to have on ordinary Americans.

We discuss the Libya crisis with Noam Chomsky, the linguist and political activist. He says the rebels have achieved a lot, but if Libya was producing asparagus rather than oil, coalition forces would be much less interested in what happens there.

We talk to the Mayor of Washington DC, who's been arrested by his own city's police force in a row about budgets.
