US diplomat Nancy Pelosi to discuss N-deal with PM

Nancy Pelosi, the US House of Representatives Speaker, will meet Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Thursday and discuss the India-US nuclear deal amid concerns over its fate under a Democratic administration.

I saw the news NDTV 24x7. I liked the coverage on the news channel, the progress time-line was presented in a crisp format.
An influential Democrat on Capitol Hill and a firm advocate of stronger ties with India, Pelosi will also meet External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee and discuss with him a range of bilateral and global issues, including the situation in Tibet.

The Manmohan Singh government has also met the Left on the issue. So that should help speeding up the N-deal progress.

I will keep you updated as NDTV 24x7 updates me. The incisive news channel is available in the US only through DirecTV.
