Iran Fires Missiles at UK-US Diego Garcia Base | BBC Newscast
Today, Laura and Paddy discuss Iranian missiles fired at Diego Garcia, the joint UK-US base in the Indian Ocean.
Two ballisitic missiles were fired at the island of Diego Garcia, the Wall Street Journal and CNN reported overnight, citing unnamed US officials, but neither weapon reached its target.
One missile reportedly failed in flight, while the other was intercepted by a US warship. It is unclear when the missiles were supposedly fired.
The BBC understands the reports are accurate.
They unpack the significance of the launches, and what it means for the UK’s involvement in the war in Iran.
And, Laura and Paddy speak to David Miliband, former foreign secretary and current president of humanitarian aid organisation, the International Rescue Committee. He discusses the humanitarian cost of the war at a time when this government is cutting £6 billion from the overseas budget by 2027.

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.

A military parade has marched through the streets of Paris below clouds of red, white and blue smoke left by planes in the sky as part of Bastille Day celebrations.
Held each year on 14 July, the national holiday marks the storming of the Bastille fortress in 1789, a key event from the French Revolution.
President Emmanuel Macron was joined by European leaders, including the UK’s Sir Keir Starmer and Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky, as soldiers from Ukraine and its ‘Coalition of the Willing’ allies passed by.
The BBC’s James Waterhouse reports on the day’s celebrations.
Producer: Marianne Baisnée.
