How can you spend years paying off your student loan and still owe more than you borrowed?
Ten years ago, the first Plan 2 borrowers started repaying their student loans. Since then, graduates who left university with similar debts have found themselves on very different financial paths.
The amount you earn affects how much you repay, how much interest builds up and whether you’ll ever clear your balance. BBC Education Correspondent Hazel Shearing investigates why so many graduates are frustrated with the system and what their student loan really means for their future.

Ex-gang boss Duane “Keffe D” Davis sentenced for orchestrating Tupac Shakur’s murder | BBC News
Former gang boss Duane “Keffe D” Davis has been sentenced to 40 years in prison for orchestrating the murder of rapper Tupac Shakur in a drive-by shooting in 1996.
The key evidence in the case were Davis’ own words, in which he repeatedly and publicly acknowledged being inside the white Cadillac from where the deadly shots were fired.
A jury found him guilty in September of one count of murder with a deadly weapon. Davis has said he will appeal the verdict.
His conviction was the first in a cold case that has intrigued hip-hop fans for nearly 30 years.

Do you know your family medical history? For hundreds of thousands of care-experienced people, the answer isn’t always straightforward.
Missing medical and childhood information can affect access to healthcare, from identifying inherited conditions to getting an autism assessment.
In some cases, the consequences can be life-threatening, with people unaware of genetic conditions that could put them at serious risk.
BBC journalist Sophia Watkins travelled across the UK to meet adopted and care-experienced people, hearing how gaps in their records have affected their lives and what they’ve done to find answers.

Pope Leo XIV has been diagnosed with lung cancer and has had surgery to remove a lower lobe of his right lung, the Vatican has said in a medical bulletin.
The 71-year-old underwent a 90 minute operation on Tuesday at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital and was subsequently diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma.
The lump was first detected during what the Vatican has described as “routine checks”.
Earlier, large crowds gathered outside the hospital to greet the Pope, with some waiting for several hours. They cheered greetings and well wishes as he passed, while he waved and smiled back through the lowered back window of his car.
He was then met by staff on the hospital steps. “I’m sorry,” one of them commiserated, to which the Pope gave a smile and a shrug. “We’re here for you,” he was assured.
In its statement, the Vatican said the whole lower lobe of the Pope’s right lung was removed “to ensure the procedure was radical”.
A Vatican source told Agence France-Presse news agency that further tests are being carried out to see if there was any sign the cancer had spread.
Leo XIV announced news of his operation to the world on Sunday, without at that time confirming that he was suffering from cancer. Speaking from the balcony in St Peter’s Square after delivering the traditional Angelus blessing, he said the nodule, or growth, on his lung was “contained” and had been found “at a very early stage”, but that doctors had advised him to have it removed.
Nodules are quite common and not necessarily cancerous, but after it was examined the medical team confirmed it was pulmonary adenocarcinoma, “as suspected by pre-operative tests”, the Vatican said. It said that the pontiff, who is generally thought to be fit, had no symptoms of infection or illness.

Today, an OpenAI employee has been charged with allegedly installing a recording device inside a boardroom.
The AI firm said it had discovered the toilet paper-wrapped device hidden in their San Francisco office and alerted the FBI. It’s claimed the device was built and hidden using chatbot prompts. Adam is joined by Tech and AI Editor Zoe Kleinman to discuss the details so far.
Also, Chris Mason has an update from Westminster on the leadership of the Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey, following a lengthy meeting with his MPs on Tuesday evening.

I was in the hospital for alcohol withdrawal years ago. I had 10 mg of Ativan in my IV and was still shaking and tachycardial. Went in an induced coma for 3 weeks. After then i needed 6 months in a rehabilitation facility to kind of relearn how to do everything. When i got there i could not feed myself, bathe myself or even wipe my own ass. I was a 26 year old man who had to wear diapers for almost my first 2 months. Once i walked out on my own i was so happy and vowed to never again take my independence for granted

The first thing said in the video is exactly why my mum doesn't drink alcohol at all. If you quit, you need to QUIT. No going back for "a couple of drinks." You need to be DONE, full stop. Not even one drink.

I remember the night I checked in to detox.. half a gallon a day plus habit. I blew a . 36 and was talking and acting normal. I truly couldn't get drunk anymore. I was like a heroin addict couldn't get high anymore but I had to drink to survive. After a week in detox and leaving on 6 months worth of anti seizure meds I went into rehab for 60 days. After treatment I've been very active in AA (I can break my on anonymity) !And my local recovery community! I'm 2 years sober and I never thought I would be able to say that.. today I know that alcohol wasn't my problem! I was using it as a solution to my problems! If you are struggling please reach out! Walk into a treatment center!! Walk into a AA meeting! I promise it will be one of the best things you ever did!! You have to do it for yourself! Not your family, the court system! None of that.. do it for yourself and I can promise everyone will take notice!! Today I'm sober but I will always be a alcoholic! I have to remember that!!

Interesting. I have been sober for over 40 years. I am now 80 years old. Back then when i was growing up, in a remote village, making your own moonshine was the norm. And people drank constantly. At work and at places etc. They do not speak of it but alcohol was almost like cigarettes back in those days. You had a Fifth of whiskey and took a shot here and there etc. And ppl drank at work. It was like a norm. I do not know if it still is.
But for me i became addicted to it. "Baccardi with cola". I could not even go to the general grocery store without having two or three shots of Whiskey. And Work became inlfuenced by it as well physically. The old timers would say "Yes that is normal you go when you feel like it, just take some more and you will be alright! (alcohol)"…. I was enough smart to know that was not the answer.
One day a long time ago, i was to the doctors office and took blood tests and general health check-up and he commented on my liver values… And we talked about drinking. Needless to say i had been indulging too much over a vast period of time. And i really did not feel like i wanted to put the bottle on the shelve… But he made me a bet… He said: I promise you, if you can be sober for 1 year, you will never want to drink again!"… And i took the bet.
What has made me remain sober for 40 years, is what i saw that year being sober doing the same things i always did, being with the same ppl i always was with. I saw soberly what alcohol turned people into from a sober point and what it did to their lives.
That was the last time i touched it and drank it. Now it is over 40 years ago,, and life has come and gone and of course it is a roller coaster as life is.. But i will never drink myself drunk again and life has been normal and good without it.
Here is also a thing that was bothering me… I could not see myself "having fun" without it. But in that year, it was more fun being without it and remembering than being drunk abd wasting it. At 80 i cherish my sober memories and moments. I rather have that, than drunken nonsense.
Thank you.

Don't give up. The first year sober is tough but you can do it. The second year is where you feel normal and a lot of impossible problems get solved. After that, it's a good life, it is worth it.

i had a bad night with PTSD and wound up drinking an entire bottle of jaeger by myself in on sitting…did so much damage that the ER doc was amazed i didnt lose an organ…i'll never forget when he came in, shut the door, and basically said "enough bro, you come back in here like this and you're losing your kidney…that's if someone even finds you in time" Detoxing….was…the hardest thing ive been through. 2 weeks straight of vomiting, migraines, bowel inconsistencies and just feeling like death all the time! ive been sober for a month now and ive never looked back

Im not special. You all have a 🔥 and animal deep inside you that u can tap into which can change your whole life!
Speak highly of yourselves when alone and you can achieve anything. Block and get angry at bad thoughts and switch it up to positive thoughts.

I have an alcohol problem too and the worst part about it is that you cant just stop drinking. I got through smoking, caffeine and cannabis by just quitting, but I cant just decide to quit this stupid junk… This makes it a very hard drug to get off because just one drink means the want for more drinks and before you know it you're hammered.. I was also never a bad tempered or violent drunk so people around me never told me to ease it or quit, which actually only made my drinking problem more severe. If I were a real big jerk I'm pretty sure I wouldve quit earlier.

Type 2 diabetes is "their fault."
Heart disease is "their fault."
A car crash is "their fault."
A broken bone from falling off a horse is "their fault."
Cancer is "their fault"….a lot of the time.
Think of the tax collected from alcohol sales!!!
It does annoy me when people blame others though.
"In Germany the booze was just too cheap!"
"The doctor prescribed me opiate pain killers."
So, what should have happened?
The price of a pint should be something only the very wealthy can afford. (And then they moan because their alcoholism isn't their fault either. It's just so unfair that they had to be rich.)
Should the doctor have left you with nothing but co-codamol after your hip transplant?
Give me a break! Take some reasonability!
