How much graduates in england need to be earning before they begin paying back their student loans is currently being considered by the government. at the moment anyone earning just over 27,000 pounds a year starts to repay their debt. but with only 25% of students expected to pay back their loan in full, there are suggestions that threshold could be reduced so that more students start repaying their debt. 0ur education editor branwen jeffreys has been talking to students in staffordshire. jeffr...

Repay their loans for 30 years after graduation. how much they repay depends on how much they earn. and, at the end of those 30 years, we all pick up the bill for the unpaid loans, whether we went to university or not. and that taxpayers share of student loans has now reached more than 50% of the total value. when earnings hitjust over £27,000, graduates repay 9% of income above that threshold. if it was lowered to £21,000 or £23,000, as some suggest, that would mean they start repaying soone...

Cnns manu raju joining me live on capitol hill with more on these developments. mcconnells technically right, but what is technically really going on here? >> reporter: well, its a staring game. its unclear who will blink first, and it has significant consequences, kate, if no deal is reached by october 18th. that is when the country could face its first-ever default on the national debt. that would have massive economic ramifi ramifications. its unclear exactly how this will play out. chuck sch...

Irresponsible to not do this in a bipartisan way but theyre going to prevent democrats from doing that, and thats going to hurt the country, and its going to hurt voters. >> and sahil, to jeffs point, because the effects of this are already being felt, thats one of the reasons why the majority leader chuck schumer sent out a letter saying that congress has to pass this debt ceiling hike by the end of the week. this is not one of these things that can wait until the night before, the morning of. ...

Theyre concerned also it would not get done in time to avoid a default. moments ago when i talked to joe manchin he made clear democratic leadership reconsider that and go down that budget reconciliation route even though they have rejected it. >> schumer has ruled out using reconciliation to -- >> we cant rule anything. we cant let the debt ceiling lapse. >> does that mean youre open to killing the filibuster to -- >> basically we have other tools we can use. and if we have to use them, we shou...

Bush administration, it was done with what i referenced before, that simple 50-vote threshold because the democrats, who were in the minority at the time, allowed the republicans to do it alone. and so we are at the stalemate right now, hallie. it is a staring contest between the two parties. democrats think mcconnell is perhaps going to give as this deadline comes closer and closer of october 18th, but thats not really in mcconnells dna. but i will say the mood up here on capitol hill, democrat...

Out him and the senate republicans on this debt ceiling issue. >> thats right, hallie, and what we hear from senator mitch mcconnell will echo what we heard in a letter earlier today where he again says he wants no part in lifting the debt limit. hes not going to provide any ability for the democrats to do it, saying the democrats can do it on their own if they would like. but what he leaves out of that letter is that what republicans are doing is they are essentially filibustering the lifting o...

Doing and certainly teachers are doing and certainly teachers are doing huge amounts and i would say they cannot do it all themselves, but with tightening budgets, increasingly high levels of threshold, the child usually has to have gone through quite an extensive experience to be able to get onto the radars of people in the first place. what we need is to have people who are going out and looking for these children to identify them early and get them involved in activities around the school and...
