Brit drivers told to pack seven emergency items in their car before 3am
Drivers have been issued travel advice following six yellow warnings for thunderstorms and rain across parts of the UK. The conditions should dampen England from 3am on Monday Brits have been urged to pack seven emergency items in their cars as the UK is set to be hit with half a month's rainfall in the next 24 hours. Drivers travelling to work in the morning have been told to brace themselves as six weather warnings for rain and thunderstorms have been put in place. Sadly, fierce conditions will strike parts of the country, with flooding, lightning and hail. As part of the alerts, Brits have been told to expect travel disruption across areas in the UK with Northen Ireland expected to be hit the worst. "You will see quite a lot of water on the roads and difficult driving conditions," warned Met Office forecaster Simon Partridge. According to Autotrader, the best way to minimise the impact is by preparing for traffic and bringing items including a phone charger, water and jump leads. Much of Scotland, northern England, Wales and the south-west of England remain under yellow weather warnings until 10pm on Sunday, where localised flooding remains possible. Eastern parts of Northern Ireland are covered by a 24-hour weather warning, from 6pm on Sunday until 6pm on Monday, where heavy rain is expected to cause some disruption and the possibility of flooding. Mr Partridge said: "It looks like Northern Ireland is the place where we could see the most rainfall and certainly the most impactful rainfall. They could see 50 to 75mm of rain within 12 to 18 hours." The country records an average of 89mm of rain in July, meaning more than half a month's rainfall could hit Northern Ireland in less than a day. Flooding is also possible, the Met Office said, and parts of England and Scotland may also see 20-40mm of rain in just two hours on Monday. From 3am until 9pm on Monday, the south and east of England are covered by a yellow thunderstorm warning. By 11am the same warning will be in place for the Midlands, northern England and Scotland. More than 10 flood alerts remain active in Scotland and where there is flooding or lightning the Met Office has warned of a chance of delays and some cancellations to train and bus services. There is also a small chance of power cuts and a small chance of fast-flowing or deep floodwater causing danger to life. "Certainly a significant amount rainfall in a couple of hours, which will bring some local issues," Mr Partridge said. 'You will see quite a lot of water on the roads and difficult driving conditions. Hopefully nothing more significant than that, it certainly won't be an issue for any of the rivers because they are quite low." Low pressure and humid, moist air across the country will cause the heavy, thundery showers, but even within the warning areas some places will stay dry. "There is a good chance of seeing some lightning and some hail, with some gusty winds as well," Mr Partridge said. 'One bit of good news is it has been very muggy overnight. Tonight will be less muggy across the southern half of the UK.' The rest of the week is set to be changeable, with showers still likely on Tuesday and heavy, thundery showers possible in the south-east of England on Wednesday. Temperatures this week will hover around average for the time of year, the national weather service said.

A big change to student loans in Trump's spending bill could make it harder to become a doctor or lawyer
It might soon be harder to attend medical or law schooldue to President Donald Trump's big spending bill. Trump signed his "big beautiful" tax and spending bill into law on July 4, codifying a slew of changes to the tax system, healthcare, and education. The law includes a major overhaul to the country's education system, particularly to the way students take out and pay off their student loans. One specific student-loan change in the bill places new caps on the amount of loans students can borrow for graduate school, including medical and law school. Specifically, the bill eliminates the Grad PLUS loan program, which allowed graduate and professional students to borrow up to the full cost of attendance for their programs. It also caps borrowing for graduate students at $20,500 a year and $100,000 over a lifetime and for professional students, like those in medical or law school, at $50,000 a year and $200,000 over a lifetime. Those caps mean many students won't be able to borrow enough to cover the full price of graduate or professional school. The Association of American Medical Colleges found that the median cost for four years of public medical school was $286,454 for the class of 2024, with that amount rising to just over $390,000 at a private school. The average total cost of law school in the latest school year, according to the Education Data Initiative, was just over $217,000. "Eliminating or restricting these critical programs would undermine the future physician workforce and ultimately make it harder for patients in communities nationwide to get the care they need," AAMC's president and CEO, David Skorton, said in a statement. Sara Partridge, associate director for higher education policy at the left-leaning think tank Center for American Progress, told Business Insider that she expects these new caps to worsen doctor shortages and "shut off pathways to these important jobs for students from low income families." The Health Resources and Services Administration — a federal agency that ensures healthcare access — said in a 2024 report that 75 million people currently live in a primary care health shortage area, and it projects a shortage of 187,130 full-time physicians in 2037. Some students might also turn toward private student loans with higher interest rates, Partridge said. "Private student loans often require a cosigner, so some students may not qualify, and they may have no options to fully finance and attend graduate school. So there is a possibility that for some students, this will be a barrier to accessing graduate school," Partridge said. The parent PLUS program, which previously allowed parents to borrower up to the full cost of attendance, still exists, but the bill places a $65,000 lifetime cap on parents borrowing for their kids' educations. Along with the borrowing caps, the spending bill also instituted significant changes to student-loan repayment. It eliminated existing income-driven repayment plans and replaced them with two new options. The first option is a standard repayment plan with a payment period ranging from 10 to 25 years, based on the borrower's original balance. The second option is a new plan called the Repayment Assistance Plan, which sets borrowers' payments at 1% to 10% of their income, and any remaining balance is forgiven after 30 years. It's less generous than former President Joe Biden's SAVE plan, which the bill eliminated. The SAVE plan would have reduced payments on undergraduate loans from 10% to 5% of a borrower's discretionary income. Linda McMahon, Trump's education secretary, lauded the passage of the bill in a July 3 post on X, saying it "simplifies the overly complex student loan repayment system" and "reduces federal student loan borrowing amounts to help curb rising tuition costs." "A truly beautiful bill for the American people," she said. The Department of Education did not immediately respond to a request for comment from BI.

Olivia Rodrigo-Louis Partridge Kiss and Tell During Wimbledon Date, Launch Their Romance on Instagram
Pop star Olivia Rodrigo and actor Louis Partridge have made their romance official on Instagram following this year's Glastonbury Festival. The couple, who have been linked since October 2023, gave fans a glimpse into their relationship through photos, videos, and playful comments online. A public reveal at Glastonbury On July 1, Rodrigo shared a Glastonbury photo carousel featuring clips of her weekend at the British music festival. For the first time, she posted Partridge's face in her slides. In one video, she sits on his shoulders while watching another act. In another slide, he is seen spraying her with champagne as they celebrate backstage. Partridge liked the post soon after. This is the first time Rodrigo has shown Partridge so openly on her grid. Before this, she only shared photos where his face wasn't visible. Partridge made it clear he wanted to celebrate Rodrigo, too. On June 30, he posted his own tribute to her performance: 'I hope you caught Olivia's show last night. A truly special performance on such a huge scale. She worked her ass off for it and couldn't be more deserving of all her success and for the great crowd that was watching. What a moment #glastonberry.' Rodrigo replied in the comments, 'glastonBERRY ilysm.' Here's how they made it Instagram official On the same day, Rodrigo shared another post about Glastonbury and Partridge commented, 'Ur the best.' Fans quickly noticed their flirty exchange. The couple's sweet posts and open comments left no doubts about their relationship status. The hard launch didn't stop there. A day later, on July 2, Olivia Rodrigo and Louis Partridge stepped out for a high-profile date at Wimbledon. They were spotted watching a match from the Royal Box, dressed in preppy outfits that matched the event's strict dress code. Rodrigo wore a red and white gingham Ralph Lauren shirtdress and thin glasses. Partridge coordinated with a light blue shirt, striped burgundy tie, and navy dinner jacket. Rodrigo and Partridge were first rumored to be dating in October 2023. They also attended the Grammys together, making one of their biggest red carpet appearances yet. Last fall, Partridge told ELLE about his easy-going approach to relationships, calling himself a 'Golden Retriever boyfriend.' He said, 'I think in past relationships my mind worked at a different speed to the women I've known. A bit slower. The way I would characterize it is like a Golden Retriever and a black cat. I can imagine being happy sitting and catching a Frisbee.'
