#Turkey opposition CHP says the lawyer of jailed Istanbul mayor #Imamoglu has now been detained on “asset laundering” charges.

Very sad to hear. I’ve worked with @marklowen on many stories about Turkey. Never doubted his love for the country or colleagues.

CHP head Özel had complained that UK govt didn’t condemn Turkish tactics. This could redraw attention to what No10 will say.

Turkey's women just beat China 3-2 in the #Olympics volleyball quarterfinals. Not that any Turkish Instagram user will be aware so they can celebrate; as that's still blocked.

"In the weeks after the election, one lawmaker from the governing party posted a photo of a lobster she was about to enjoy in Monaco. Another posted about his trip to the Maldives.

But sure. People are probably mostly angry about the dogs."

AFP is reporting that there's draft legislation in Turkey that would jail journalists and researchers working for foreign "interests" - much like the measures in Russia and #Georgia. According to AFP, amendment would allow 3-7 years in jail for those convicted.

My neighbour has been blasting Blur, Oasis, REM and Nirvana on repeat. I don’t know whether to check up on him or join him with a beer.

It's important to note that the real test for the Turkish opposition begins now. They will now have to prove that they have what it takes to govern if they won a general election. Yesterday's local election wins have only given them a job interview.

@moneyfm893 Was the 13:30 bulletin pre-recorded? Some news items had a secondary audio track like two people speaking at the same time.

[Seref Isler @seref_i]

@moneyfm893 Wait.. didn’t the silver chat with Priyanka on-air right now air yesterday as well at the same time?

This is more than just a row over a Turkish cup fixture.

If the reports of police entering changing rooms to confiscate banners and T-shirts are true, what would happen with 48 teams at the 2034 FIFA World Cup?

Saudi Arabia is the sole bidder to host that tournament.
