AI scams, cohabiting and student loans

from BBC · host BBC

Scammers are using increasingly convincing AI generated videos to steal people's money. We hear from a victim who had £165,000 stolen and ask an expert how to spot the warning signs before it's too late. The government has promised new financial rights for cohabiting couples. We examine what the plans could mean for the three and a half million couples in the UK who live together without being married or in a civil partnership. Households in Northern Ireland will see their gas and electricity bills rise next month. We find out what's behind the increase and what support is available. Plus, why is one MP comparing parts of England's student loan system to some of the country's biggest financial scandals? Presenter: Paul Lewis Reporters: Hannah Mullane, Jo Krasner, and Niamh Mc Dermott. Editor: Sarah Rogers (First broadcast 12pm Saturday 6th June 2026)
