# Turkish police have raided the offices of opposition broadcaster Halk TV in Istanbul, stopping its live broadcasts. The station says hundreds of members entered the building early today. Staff were prevented from entering, and recorded programmes replaced live coverage. A government-appointed manager has taken control of the channel. Prosecutors say the operation is linked to an investigation into alleged bribery, fraud in public contracts and money laundering involving the station’s owner. The allegations have not been proven in court.
