Adequate air defences. Our ukraine correspondent James Waterhouse has more on this. Kyiv has been heavily fortified, if you like, in terms of air defences, with the supply of western Patriot Missile systems, which have proven to be incredibly effective against russian air attacks. However, Russian Forces have adapted as well. So, what we see now are slightly less often, less frequent attacks, but they are at a much greater scale. As you say, last night, russia launched 22 missiles, 1a drones, and they are designed to overwhelm air defences. But when we are talking about eastern cities like zaporizhzhia, dnipro, odesa in the south, which was also attacked, they are less well defended, and missiles get through. And we have seen images of a burning building next to dnipro train station, and we are told across that region, at least nine people have been killed, three of them children. And i think president zelensky, he will continue to ask for much needed air Defence Systems, and those ask
From next season, fa cup matches will now only be played at weekends with no replays after the first round. The decision has been condemned by many efl and lower league clubs. And even politicians have commentated, the Prime Ministers spokesperson said, David And Goliath fixtures are a part of the magic of the cup and we know that replays have been a welcome source of income for smaller clubs throughout the years. And the opposition leader, sir keir starmer, had similar sentiments. Wrong position. Traditionally, theyve been part of the game. The fa cup is a great leveler. Its that chance in football you have to play a team outside of your own division. Its part of the tradition of the fa cup, but equally importantly, for smaller clubs, its a real revenue raiser. Small clubs are really struggling financially. They need that revenue and they deserve it. Theyve gone far enough to get a replay and they should have the replay. The everton and scotland defender Nathan Patterson is out for th
Good evening. World leaders are again calling for restraint in the middle east, after whats believed to have been an Israeli Attack on iran overnight. According to us officials, israel was responsible for air strikes near the city of isfahan, which is at the centre of Irans Nuclear programme. It appears to be the latest tit for tat exchange between the two arch enemies. For days, israel has been threatening to retaliate after it was targeted last weekend by 300 iranian missiles and drones. Well be live in israel shortly and well have the latest from washington but first, our Diplomatic Correspondent Caroline Hawley reports on what we know so far about the overnight attack. Its a strange position tonight where were still not sure exactly whats happened. Israel has not publicly acknowledged it carried out the strike. Iran is minimising it. So what do we know . Well, we know a clear message was being sent. There were explosions overnight in syria, iraq and, most significant of all, Deep I
Sources, both israeli and american sources, confirming this was indeed an israeli strike. Now, all weak people have been on tenterhooks waiting for some kind of response. It was made very clear by israeli officials they did not think they could let it pass. That was after an unprecedented direct attack from iran on israeli territory last weekend. It was really the form of response that was in question and when it would happen. People wondering if the state of uncertainty would continue through the upcoming jewish passover holiday, for example. We have had some ministers coming out, particularly the National Security minister, who is known as a firebrand and on the far right, he had previously been calling for israel to go crazy in its response to restore its deterrent in the region. He said this response appears to be too limited. He is the only major official we are hearing from at the moment. Others are keeping extremely quiet about all of this. ,. ,. ,. , this.
