Malaysia PM: rebels will let investigators visit site

The Malaysian prime minister, Najib Razak, says an agreement has been reached with pro-Russian separatists in control of the area where Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 crashed to give independent international investigators access to the site.

Prime Minister Najib said the bodies of those killed would be flown to Amsterdam and that the rebel leader, Alexander Borodai, had agreed to hand over flight recorders to a Malaysian team in Donetsk.
