International pressure is growing for the Russian President to urge pro-Russian rebels in Ukraine to allow observers unrestricted access to the scene of the Malaysia Airlines crash.

 

Pro Russian rebels – who have been accused of shooting down the plane with a missle – have been preventing investigators from working at the scene.

 

Emergency workers say they've now found 196 bodies at the site where MH17 crashed on Thursday – killing all 298 people on board.

 

Pro-Russian rebels say international investigators will be allowed full access to the crash site IF Ukraine agrees to a ceasefire.

 

However, Ukraine's Security Council has claimed Russia has been continuing to send weapons to the separtists.

 

Ukraine's acting ambassador to the UK, Andrii Kuzemko, claims Russians are being fed propaganda about who's to blame
