25:56Now PlayingToday, Laura, Paddy and Henry discuss whether Iranian missiles could feasibly strike the UK, as Israel has claimed.
The Israeli Defence Force said Iranian missiles "can reach London, Paris or Berlin."
The claim was prompted by an attempted but unsuccessful missile strike on the UK-US Diego Garcia base.
Sir Richard Shirreff, a former senior Nato commander has told Paddy we should take the the claim seriously, but cabinet minister Steve Reed told Laura there is "no assessment to substantiate" it.
We also look at whether the government might consider profit caps on energy companies, as has been suggested by a government advisor.
