What's up, this is Global News today, bringing you the fastest global updates right now. British fitness coach Will Bailey flew in to Dubai on Saturday morning to start a new life, planning to move his business and get residency there. But just a day later, he captured video of Iranian missiles hitting upscale areas like Palm Jamira, right near a luxury hotel. Officials reported a fire that heard four people. Iran launched those attacks in response to strikes on its land by the U.S. and Israel. The barrage is kept going through Monday, with one death confirmed in the UAE. Bailey said the chaos flipped everything upside down for him. Now, he's second-guessing his move and might head back to the UK. Other expats and influencers are split. Some call it terrifying and question Dubai safety, while others say daily life continues normally with malls. Busy and schools open. Dubai has long drawn people with its glamour, business perks, and sense of security amid regional unrest.

Many online posts now praise the government's missile defenses for stopping most threats. Experts warned this could dent the city's shiny image for years, as smoke over elite spots challenges its haven status. This story is made possible by our sponsor, See the episode description.
