Tehran has launched fresh attacks on US military bases in neighbouring Gulf states, while Washington continued to strike sites across Iran overnight.

Tehran said it had struck targets in the region, including in Jordan, Kuwait and Bahrain, as a sixth day of renewed hostilities strained their preliminary deal to end the war.

Meanwhile, the US military said it inflicted a six-hour wave of strikes in multiple locations to “degrade Iran’s ability to threaten innocent mariners” in the Strait of Hormuz.

The latest exchanges came after US President Donald Trump warned Iran it had “better behave” or face further military action should Iran not return to negotiations.

AI can write, code, plan and problem-solve in seconds. But as we hand more tasks over to machines, what happens to our own skills?

In this episode AI Decoded investigates whether AI is enhancing human intelligence or quietly eroding it.

From doctors and software engineers to students growing up with AI tutors, we explore new research suggesting that reliance on AI could affect critical thinking, expertise and decision-making.

Presenter Marc Cieslak is joined by world leading Paediatric Neurosurgeon Owase Jeelani, Digital Transformation Researcher Dr Tapani Rinta-Kahila, and AI Decoded co-host Dr Stephanie Hare.

As AI becomes our everyday assistant, are we gaining a powerful new tool — or outsourcing the very abilities that make us human?

Before a deadly outbreak this year, Bangladesh had made “substantial progress” towards eliminating measles, according to the World Health Organisation. Vaccination rates had been higher than 90%.

But that progress has quickly come undone. Since March, government figures show nearly 750 people have died, mostly children. The death toll includes confirmed and suspected cases of measles. But Unicef says the true numbers are likely higher. 

Government figures show more than 120,000 suspected and confirmed measles cases since mid-March, and there are still nearly 1,000 new cases daily. 

But why has this happened? The BBCs’ South Asia Correspondent Azadeh Moshiri reports from a measles ward in the Bangladeshi city of Mymensingh.
