Malaysian PM: Violence at the MH17 crash site must stop

Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak has called for an "immediate cessation" to violence around the area of Eastern Ukraine where flight MH17 was shot down.

Speaking at a joint press conference with the Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, he said this was necessary to ensure "dignity and a decent funeral" for the victims.

The flight was shot down on 17 July but fighting between Ukraine and separatist rebels in the east of the country has prevented a proper investigation.
