MH17 flight wreckage removal begins in Ukraine

Work has begun to remove wreckage from the MH17 crash site in rebel-held eastern Ukraine after months of delays.

The Malaysian Airlines plane, which was flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, was shot down over Ukraine in July. All 298 people on board were killed.

The recovery operation was expected to take several days, the Dutch Safety Board said, and the debris will be transported to the Netherlands for investigation.
