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.

Lets return to our top story World Leaders are calling for restraint after whats believed to have been an Israeli Attack on iran overnight. According to us officials, israel was responsible for air strikes here, near the City Of Isfahan which is at the centre of Irans Nuclear programme. Israel has been threatening to retaliate after it was targeted last weekend by 300 iranian missiles and drones. There are competing claims about the scale of the attack on the isfahan region and the extent of any damage, which Iranian State media are downplaying. Azadeh moshiri takes us through what bbc verify has determined. This is what our team has pieced together about the attack as well as its impact. Iranian state media are citing unconfirmed reports of explosions in the Central Province of isfahan. Isfahan is a major city in iran, second only to its capital, tehran, second only to its capital, tehran. It also hosts a nuclear site, which makes it even more important to the islamic republic. Youll also find there an army air base as well as a major missile production complex. Now, bbc persian has been receiving videos from inside iran. Here are two of them. Bbc verify has analysed them and matched them together. You can see here that the flashes of the apparent explosion match, the timing matches, which allows bbc verify to determine this is from the same event. When it comes to the nuclear site nearby, this is an older image, and according to reports, theres no damage. Thats what were hearing from iranian officials as well as the International Atomic energy agency. Theyve said there is no damage, but we have contacted the iaea to understand how they have been able to determine that were still waiting to hear back. I also want to show you this video from the news agency. Theyre a semi official news agency closely affiliated to the Islamic Revolutionary guard. Now, if you see here, a man holds up a smart watch, and if you look at the face of the watch, youll see that it says friday the 19th, as well as the time, the 19th, as well as the time. He also says that verbally to confirm, or try to confirm, that this is from the day of the attack. Now, the caption says that there is no damage to the nuclear site, and as the video progresses you can see what appears to be a group of troops. There also seems to have been some flight disruption. Here i want to show you a notice to air mission, and what it describes is air space on the western border of iran being closed between 1. 30, local time in iran, to 7am. And if you look at the flight tracking website, flight radar, youll see that there are two flights here that were going towards tehran in that window of time that were then diverted and turned back. You can see the loops right here. There are also reports of strikes in iraq and syria where armed groups backing iran are based. But this is typical of the shadow war that israel and iran have engaged in for years. Iran has several proxies in the region, including hezbollah in lebanon, which is a prescribed Terrorist Organisation in some countries, as well as hamas same scenario there and these armed groups in syria and iraq. What World Leaders are hoping is a return to that shadow war, to that engagement via proxies as a form of de escalation. For now, here, as information keeps coming in, were going to continue gathering it and analysing it in the aftermath of this attack. The latest from bbc verify. Nato secretary Generaljens Stoltenberg has been speaking about the situation in the middle east. Translation of course we are concerned, and i echo of course we are concerned, and i echo the of course we are concerned, and i echo the words by the g7 Foreign Ministers echo the words by the g7 Foreign Ministers and other National Leaders who have ministers and other National Leaders who have called on all parties to de escalate the tensions. No one stands de escalate the tensions. No one stands to de escalate the tensions. No one stands to benefit from it All Out War In stands to benefit from it All Out War In the stands to benefit from it All Out War In the middle east. It is vital that the war in the middle east. It is vital that the conflict is not spiral out of control, that the conflict is not spiral out of control, and there therefore we call on of control, and there therefore we call on all of control, and there therefore we call on all parties on all restraint. Earlier, i spoke to our security correspondent frank gardner. I asked him whether he thought this was the start of the end of an israeli response. That draws to a close this particular run of tit for tat. If neither side responds any further, then we will pass the high watermark of danger, i would say. None of this in the ongoing lunar war conflict between iran and israel. This kind of shadow wars with attacks by oxime � s militias. None of that is probably going to settle down until gaza settles down. I would expect that the focus of the tension in the middle east is going to the pendulum of. The pendulum is going to swing back onto gaza if nothing more happens. Back onto gaza if nothing more ha ens. ~. , back onto gaza if nothing more ha ens. ~. I. , ~ back onto gaza if nothing more ha ens. ~. ,. ,~. , happens. What did you make it of the tar et happens. What did you make it of the target here . Happens.

Its very apparent that Isfahan Province was chosen. Its i Isfahan Province was chosen. Its clearly aimed at balancing the voices on the right not even just the right in israel who say we need to deter our enemies to be safe and we have to act tough and hit back when somebody attacks us. I think wise heads prevailed in the sense that president biden, lord cameron, and others were all, including eu and g7, urging restraint. The message they were giving israel was take the win. Youve locked down almost 300 plus of those missiles and drones that iran sent. Youve shown that youre pretty hard to hit. Lets not forget on april the 1st, israel, pretty hard to hit. Lets not forget on aprilthe1st, israel, its presumed, carried out an air strike on the iranian consulate in damascus that killed 13 people. Isfahan is an Important Message because its home to Irans Nuclear iranian enrichment facility, a number of nuclear facilities, as well as missile bases. Its a militarily strategically vital area and israel will send the message that they can reach that. ,. ,. , will send the message that they can reach that. ,. ,. , will send the message that they can reach that. ,. ,. , reach that.

Exactly on that point, and its important notjust the l and its important notjust the targeted area, but the fact that theyve been able to get past the radar, the air defences. It is not like irans attack on israel. Thats ri. Ht. Im like irans attack on israel. Thats right im very like irans attack on israel. Thats right. Im very encouraged like irans attack on israel. Thats right. Im very encouraged by like irans attack on israel. Thats i right. Im very encouraged by irans looky response to this because lets not forget today is friday, the day of prayers. Very often in iran, that is the scene for some really vitriolic, angry rhetoric with the left fist shaking, a lot of angry speeches by iranian religious and revolutionary guards leaders. They have vowed revenge in the past. Were not seeing that happen, quite the opposite. Some people have mocked this attack, saying its a bit pathetic. If thats what they think all israels capable of doing, fine, great. Betterthat than think all israels capable of doing, fine, great. Better that than they respond with their own response and in the whole cycle of tit for tat continues with the ultimate risk of dragging in the United States and turning it into a regional war that closes the straight, sends Energy Prices soaring, people streaming to the airports and ports to get out of the airports and ports to get out of the region nobody wants that. Frank gardiner talking to me earlier. The Prime Minister has called for an end to the uks Sick Note Culture in a speech on welfare reform. Rishi sunak said he is considering moving responsibility for assessing fitness to work away from gps, to Specialist Work and Health Professionals in england. A record high of 2. 8m people were out of work in february, according to the office for national statistics. Those with serious debilitating conditions should never be expected to work, but if you have a low level Mobility Issue your employer could make reasonable adjustments, perhaps including adaptations to enable you to work from home. If youre feeling anxious or depressed then, of course, you should get the support and treatment you need to manage your condition, but that doesnt mean we should assume you cant engage in work. Our Political Correspondent harry farley has more. Listening to that speech. Rishi sunak talks about this being his moral Mission Mission to reform welfare. He pointed to some quite staggering statistics, to be honest 2. 8 Million People a Record Number out of work with sickness. And he said half of those had depression or anxiety. Its worth actually pointing out that for most of those, actually, actually, Mental Health problems were a secondary, not the main cause of their sickness. But he said a worrying number were younger people and he talked about those with less severe Mental Health conditions should be in work. And thats the range of measures just picking out one or two for you. Firstly, he said they would the government would consult on tightening up eligibility for personal independence payments, thats disability benefit payments, saying that those who do have less severe Mental Health conditions should be in work. The other thing that the government is going to consult on is stripping gps of their power to sign sick notes and saying that other work and Health Care Professionals would instead do that to take that away from gps. Its worth just saying, though, the government isnt clear who would actually do that instead of gps. They said they would be medically trained, they would be medical professionals, but its not clear how theyll be funded, where theyll come from or how they will be trained either. So, the government is saying that theyre going to consult on that. Its worth saying, though, that the measures that in the next parliament after in other words, the General Election. And that is quite a significant hurdle for the conservative government at the moment, obviously quite a distance behind in the polls. So, in many ways, really, what were seeing here is a glimpse into the conservative Party Manifesto for that General Election. Manifesto for that General Election thats coming up later this year. Labour, for their part, theyre saying, well, there is a crisis in Mental Health and they say the government is attempting to make Mental Health a new front of their culture wars, which they say is shameless and irresponsible. And so, actually, whats needed is to cut the waiting list for Mental Health treatment. The lib dems, for their part, saying that these are in large parts but rishi sunak certainly wanting to frame reforming welfare and what he described as a moral mission to do that as part of his pledge to be going into the next government.
