Britain Seizes Berlin Radio Amid Siege and Border Clashes
In Western Berlin the British surrounded the large radio building and barred entry as the Soviet zone tightened. British troops and 100 West Berlin police established barbed wire barriers while negotiations with the Soviet commandant failed over access to the studios. A Russian army car left the scene as crowds protested and police arrested a woman outside. The move follows long-standing Soviet refusals to vacate the site and mirrors earlier border actions in the American sector.
