The journalist who stormed the set of Vladimir Putin's favorite news channel with a "Stop the War" banner has had her home raided.

TV journalist Marina Ovsyannikova, 44, walked into Russia's most-watched news program armed with posters saying "They're lying to you here" and "Stop the war!"

She has been repeatedly targeted by Putin's officers since her protest in March - and her home has been searched again by Russian law enforcement.

The Russians accuse Marina of discrediting the military under draconian new laws aimed at stifling any criticism of the war in Ukraine.

Last week she was fined 50,000 rubles (£690) and this week another court fined her 40,000 rubles (£550).
