Marina Ovsyannikova interrupts a live news bulletin on Russia's state TV "Channel One" holding up a sign that reads "No War"

More now on the story of the woman who interrupted a Russian evening news programme on the state-controlled Channel 1 to hold up an anti-war sign.

State media in Russia haven't covered this protest. Just one independent newspaper has put an image on its front cover but they've had to blur out the words on the sign that this journalist was holding because it's effectively a criminal offence to publish the words.

We don't know where the journalist, named as Marina Ovsyannikova, is. She was detained last night. Her lawyer reportedly tried to find her in all of the police stations close to the television centre but has been unable, apparently, to find her.

One state news agency has just reported that a pre-trial investigation has begun against her.

We assume she will turn up in a court in Moscow at some point this morning, but we'll have to wait and see.
