i'm outside a military factory here in kharkiv. here the train has arrived carrying the bodies from near the crash site. we believe it has now arrived. certainly from the people i've been speaking to, the spokesperson for the dutch forensic team which is here in kharkiv, she was saying she wasn't sure if the bodies would be flown out today or tomorrow. it's not quite clear how long the process will take. certainly things are moving quite quickly here. we've seen officials arriving, diplomats for example for the indonesian embassy, osce people are copping to monitor the process. we also saw a refrigerated car going into the compound. we don't know for sure but that will be used to transport the bodies to the airport from where they will then be flown back to holland at some stage. >> richard, it's worth stressing that these bodies have left rebel controlled area now to government controlled area. that journey was potentially perilous. >> that's right. given what happened yesterday in donetsk with the fighting near the train station

one of the railway stations in kharkiv, on the ground, what used to be a tank factory.e, a number of journalists and on the train we saw malaysian officials accompanying the bodies. they wouldn't give comment who they were and what they were doing there. they didn't have a friendly relationship with them. the bodies in kharkiv and now inside the closed military area where the presence of unloading them, putting them in coffins that have been flown in from the netherlands and putting them on the plane. how long it will take is unclear right now. we are understanding most of the identification procedures, the complex project. who the bodies belong to and who they used to be when they were alive. that will be occurring in the netherlands. christine? >> do we know how many bodies they have transported and sadly, because of the crash, not all of the bodies have been recovered. >> reporter: some of the bodies are still in the devastation of what happened to the aircraft. if a missile hits an airplane at 33,000 feet, most of those on board -- the medics arriving have been comi

that was confirmed to me yesterday by a malaysia official traveling back from kharkiv.ey're saying they weren't confident with that number, that it was too large. as far as they were aware, according to a source that had seen the bodies loaded from the crash site, there may have been as many as 200 bodies on that train. now as they continue to go through the five wagons, the refrigerated wagons on that train, that number could rise. there were concerns here that not all the bodies were on that train. and not enough access will be given to the crash site now, given the civil war raging in that area to enable that further remains can be directed. >> the numbers just shows you the trauma of what happened at that crash site. and the chaos in the russian-backed separatists' handling of the situation. thank you so much, nick. >> you know what's interesting, we see too often the tragic transfer of bodies at airports. dover airport, soldiers returning home. we see these pictures so reminiscent of that. but these are people who are not combatants. these are people who are not ev

tim willcox there in kharkiv. well, here in the netherlands, national buildings are flying their flags at half-mast today for this national day of mourning, as well, of course, as dutch missions around the world. and five minutes before the planes carrying those coffins arrive here, bells around the country will toll for five minutes to mark this occasion. just the beginning of the process of returning all of the victims to their families. of course, 193, two-thirds of the people on board flight mh-17 were dutch. it is a huge tragedy for this nation. it is only the second time in more than half a century that -- that has been a national day of mourning. that gives you a sense of the scale of this tragedy. and as anna holligan reports now, she's been looking at how this country is trying to come to terms with it. >> a serene stable nation, caught up in somebody else's conflict. this shrine growing every day, now marks the spot of departure, the point from which the dead departed. this started as a couple of bouquet

tom burridge joins us now from kharkiv. talk about the attempt to get to the mh-17 crash site, another attempt and another failure. >> sure, clear frustration, i think, for all the international monitors going with those dutch forensic experts, trying to reach the crash site, that large area of country side to the east of donetsk for the fourth day running and being turned back. we believe they were turned back at the rebel controlled checkpoint. the fighting between ukrainian government force and the rebels in that area continue. we believe the ukrainian army gained some ground around the crash site, about up still not clear who controls it. >> with regard to this recent upsurge in violence again, it seems to be getting, if anything, considerably worse. >> yes. i mean, not unexpected if you like, because for a long time now, ever since the ukrainian army took another city to the north of donetsk, not far from kharkiv here, when they took that city, everyone thinking that the next target would be donetsk and they have over

we were at the train station yesterday before it departed for donetsk and then kharkiv. and the number that we were told was about 290. we've made it clear over the past couple of days that we have no independent way to verify that number. we could not go into the cars and we're not the experts. there was a team of dutch forensic experts that went in yesterday and they, too, could not determine that number. i will tell you what we reported on today is that we were out at three or four of the major sites today. not only did we see some human remains there but i must say, the stench of human remains was very, very strong. and we also went for the first time with malaysian delegation to where the cockpit impacted and one of their first observations was that there could very well be human remains there, just judging by the smell, again, as well. >> so different reports of human remains in different parts of this massive, massive field area in eastern u krean, this rural part of the country. michael, do me a favor and stand by. i want to get a quick break in and i have a lot

matthew chance joins us live from kharkiv. what's the latest? was the government keeping investigators out? >> reporter: well, certainly, it's true, john, there is a new offensive under way in various areas around the crash site. despite assurances from the ukrainian government six days ago there would be a cease-fire zone around the area, which is in rebel controlled territory for the international investigators from the netherlands and australia to gain access to the site and conduct very important work. they need to undertake it to get human remains out of there. there's lots of personal belongings that have to be collected and evidence to give us clarity of what happened to mh17. that work has to be done. at the moment, the european security body escorting the experts is on the road now from donetsk toward the crash site a short distance away. yesterday, they tried to get access with the international experts to the area. because of the fierce fighting raging around there over the course of the past 24 hours, 36 hours or so, they were unable

the remains of those victims have been moved from donetsk to kharkiv where they will make their finalourney home. >>> the 282 bodies that made their way up from the crash site passed through these gates, the beginning of the process to get them out of ukraine. there is some paperwork that is involved. they werest sorted up here, the bodies by malaysian and dutch officials. it's expected that they will leave on a dutch aircraft probably on wednesday going to the netherlands where they'll start the indication process. one the indication is discovered they will be sent to their countries. also what was handed over in the middle of the night down in donetsk, about 350 kilometers south of where we are. the flight data recorders were handed over by the head of the donetsk people's republic. the self proclaimed prime minister who has been ruling that area. so the pieces could possibly put together the mysterious parts of this story, we don't yet know, are finally being put forward. the bodies will arrive in the netherland and then have to go through a long indication process. >>> in kiev a s

nick paton walsh has beens with all morning from kharkiv, ukraine.rmac as you see the c-130s are very referrer rently being loaded with coffins. nick, what's happening there? >> reporter: well, christine, the flight in the last hour, we saw the bodies now we're told by ukrainian officials yesterday that 50, the first 50 to depart today. since we've been standing here, another cargo plane has arrived. basically there are two on the tarmac. we think one is much larger capacity than the c-130 transport plane still stands here. and a second plane will be taking off with all bodies on it. on the tarmac, a somber ceremony -- ukrainian officials and australian and dutch dignitaries are here to try and rectify what many say was the indignity of the journey that these bodies had back from separatists. the australian prime minister is here, trying to unite everybody, focusing on what's happened. the ukrainian prime minister, the issue here -- in cokharkiv yesterday. there's great uncertainty about that. they're able at this stage to say with confidence there a

. >> nick paton walsh joins me now from kharkiv where ukrainian authorities have set up a crash investigationenter. first of all, let's all take in the big contrast between what we saw the first few days after the crash, of how those bodies were allowed to sort of scatter, decompose in the sun and how the netherlands paid tribute to them. now we're waiting for 78 more coffins to make their way to the netherlands. when can we expect that to happen, nick? >> we understand that should be happening in the hours ahead. 74 coffins, we understand, these are numbers which are basically aspirational, though. yesterday they said to move 50 coffins. when i say kof inds, that shows you part of the complexity of the task. because within those coffins is the contents of each body bag that they've taken from the refrigerated wagon of that train that arrived from kharkiv two days ago. we spoke to an investigator who said, they scan them and x-ray them to be sure there's nothing suspicious or dangerous, then place that in a coffin, the coffin then goes to the netherlands. the job begins, the grim and pain-sta

this is the city of kharkiv. this is where the bodies will be brought. this is where the families will come to collect their loved ones. 298 souls, who were just flying in the skies above this war-torn country, having nothing to do with it, when they were blown out of the skies. their lives robbed from them. in the fields of eastern ukraine, the wreckage still smoldered. the dead were still uncollected. the heart rending personal items. a disney backpack. and the shock was fresh for local residents who witnessed the tragedy. there was a sort of explosion, this man said. and then, people started falling from the sky. they searched the sunflower fields. so beautiful. but today, littered with horror. at least one american is among the dead. a 19-year-old with duel u.s./dutch citizenship, shown here with his girlfriend. he was on his way to meet his family for a vacation in malaysia. an avid soccer player, his former team reeling today. we can barely comprehend the news. president obama called the downing of malaysia airlines flight 17 within outrage of unsp

at this moment, a train bearing the bodies of 282 victims is making its way from donetsk to kharkiv. from there, they will be flown to amsterdam, which is where the flight originated. the separatists were reluctant to turn over the bodies. >> the airplane's black box recorder is now in the hands of malaysia officials. a top rebel leader says he believes the flight data and voice recorders will reveal the truth about what happened to the airliner and reiterated his claim that separatists did not shoot down the flight. >> meantime, the u.n. security council unanimously passed a resolution condemning the shootdown and demanded full access to the crash site. the resolution called for the complete cooperation of all countries. but the measure did not place blame. >> and a news conference a short time ago, australian prime minister tony abbott said he was encouraged by the recent signs of cooperation and also talked about dismay about what he said is the tampering of the crash site. >> after the crime comes the coverup. what we have seen is tampering and obviously that has to stop. >> we w

more victim's bodies will be loaded in kharkiv. the scale of this tragedy conditions to grow, not just in terms of human grief, but in political impact. the calls for justice are growing lauder -- lauder, how many longer can european politicians ignore them. >>> david is in eid hoven. more poddies arriving there today. >> yes, another 74 of the victims will be ferried at the military base at eid houghen airport, just behind me, where the flags are flying at half mast. we expect the same ceremony, dignity and respect for those that came down over the battlefields of east ukraine. there'll be a government representative, not the king and queen. we expect a few, because every time a coffin arrives, these relatives think they will contain the remains of their loved ones. another difficult time, another time where we'll see the soldiers carrying the coffins out of the planes and on to the horses to hill ver sham, where a military facility is being set up, where the teams are at work to identify the victims. >> clearly widespread grief a

a team of investigators also arrived in kharkiv, beyond the reach of separatist control. the teams are waiting to get on with their job, receiving the bodies and investigating the area where this plane came down. the bodies will then make their way to the netherlands for identification. ukraine's prime minister has agreed ogive control of the investigation to the dutch and again underline russia is to blame. >> translator: it is also absolutely clear that the drunken pro-russian terrorists cannot operate a are russian missile system. we have information that the training took place on russian territory. they received financing weapons training and education from russia. >> reporter: russia's being are pushed back from the issue. >> these events should not divide these people. >> bash at the crash site workers move a large part of the wreckage. something that will complicate the investigation and something they vowed not to do in this already contaminated crash scene, cord heigh scott heidlerl jazeera, kharkiv. >> urging better cooperation from all sides. >> there is work

it's heading towards kharkiv. >>> not far from the crash site there has been heavying sheing in eastern donetsk. government forces are trying to take the city. there has been heavy fighting near the airport and the railway station. people have been warned to stay inside. nisreen el-shamayleh has this update now from donetsk. >> reporter: what is happening here in donetsk is an indication of just how divided a country this has become. you can hear shelling in the background. it's been intense in various parts of this city of one million residents, reduced to a few hundred thousand people because of the fighting. it seems the ukrainians, the army is trying to take the sitting back from separatist forces. they seem to be putting up a fight responding to that. we have seen tanks heading to the front line, hery art ill -- heavy artillery, anti-aircraft guns as well. there has been an appeal to the russian president for assistance. what seems to happen now is that the two sides are embedded - the two seeds are fighting and there's little chance of a ceasefire here for now >>> more to come in

nick peyton walsh is in kharkiv, ukraine, where the journey began a few hours ago. morning. >> carol, thank you. today is the second time in which military cargo planes, again today, a dutch c-13, have taken off from kharkiv with tragic cargo inside. yesterday, 40. they will be met today in the netherlands by hearse that will mark on a solemn procession towards the military base where forensic testing will begin. but still, here in ukraine, where there are many dutch experts, over 60, and australians, too, all working on this investigation, they're all hoping to get their job done as quickly as possible, hoping that perhaps the last flights can take off tomorrow, and that maybe then all the coffins will be in the netherlands and identification and forensic testing can occur. the real problem they face, though, is that they don't quite know what's on that. they've gone through the first three out of four refrigerated ones and are piecing through what's remaining there. a number of body bags yet specified and sometimes more than one body bag goes into a coffin. they a

it's seen as a sign of progress that the bodies are on board those trains making their way to kharkivara? >> we heard the dutch prime minister using words to describe how this crash site has been treated by the pro-russian separatists. erin mclaughlin, i appreciate the update there from amsterdam. it is just after 8:00 a.m. in gaza and jerusalem and what could be another bloody day in the israel/slahamas conflict. about an hour ago, a huge plume of smoke rose into the sky after an apparent air strike. several other large explosions followed. >> on the diplomatic side, secretary of state kerry arrived there joined by ban ki-moon. kerry will try to once again broker a cease-fire. >> but the death toll keeps rising. 583 palestinians killed, most of them civilians. 27 israeli soldiers and three israeli citizens have also died. >>> now, israel says it will not waiver on its stated mission to enter the area. this is it an uptick from what we've seen in previous clashes? >> hello, errol. we had a brief from the military and one of the fiercest fighting is taking place he between gaza and ham

. >> let's get the latest from kharkiv. matthew chance is there. matthew, we've seen more than a dozen deaths in 24 hours. just talk to us about the current situation in eastern ukraine as it's taking place the beginning of this monday. >> reporter: there seems to be some kind of effort under way by the ukrainian government to perhaps try and wrestle control of that very contentious crash site of mh-17 from the rebels to allow in the international teams of investigators and police. you saw those pictures from a town in which 13 people, including two children were killed. both sides, the rebels and the government, blaming each other for carrying out that artillery strike on that residential area. there are also reports that we're receiving of other government moves, as well. along various other strategic points surrounding the crash site. so it very much does look at this point like there is a government effort to try and wrestle control from the rebels who control that crash site at this moment. that would give the investigators a bit better access

the senior international correspondent is in kharkiv and he joins me live.at can you tell us? >> reporter: hala, the scene behind me is familiar to the past two days but different because these two transport planes, you can see in the far distance an australian c-17 that has just landed and a dutch c-130 that seems to be loaded with coffins in the past hour. the part you will see, by the australian minister, that is actually the dutch plane over to one side here. they had hoped that today would be the last load of coffins to go back to the netherlands. there will be 74 today like there was yesterday. 40 the day before that bringing the total of coffins to 188. the numbers sadly part of the grim science of this. there are still parts of person and remainins in the wagons tha came from the crash site. that, the investigators are going through. and they anticipate a smaller load, perhaps only on one plane, leaving tomorrow. that will mark a definitive point where at least the forensic investigations can begin in full in the netherlands. but the issue here too,

. >>> matthew joins us live from kharkiv, what's the situation there?nderstand it, rosemary, there is still fierce fighting under way. not on the crash site itself of mh17. but in the small towns that surround it. and that's been the main factor why the osc team, the international investigators from the netherlands and from australia, have been unable, for the past four days, to reach that site. they said it's because of the poor security situation there. we've heard already they'll try again today to access the site. but with no end to the fighting around the crash area, it seems just as unlikely as previously that they're going to be able to acquire secure access. >> and, okay, matthew, just quickly then, how is that going to be done? because ukraine at this point seems determined -- the ukraine government seems determined to keep the fighting going in that area. >> yes, it seems to have rejected all suggestions that it curb its military offensive in the area to allow the investigators to get through. at the same time, the rebels are being blamed for

it was expected to travel straight to kharkiv. there's been a lot of contrary information about when the train was supposed to leave, what direction it was taking. and it will probably take at least seven hours to make its way toward kharkiv where it will be met by an increasingly large number of australian, dutch, consular officials, those trying to go through the extraordinarily grim and difficult task of taking these bodies which are now a number of days since they died in that missile attack on that plane and putting them into what we understand will be some special coffins flown in by the dutch and then a number of plane have been arriving one by one at the kharkiv airport. it is unclear if they'll be identified through various technical means and experts here or they'll be shipped back to the netherlands where that identification process will continue. >> and of course most of them are from the netherlands. areally the any family members there? if they are here, i'm sure they'll be keeping a very low profile. we san seen man

kharkiv is an important stop on the final journey of the victims.ll, this is territory held by the ukrainian government, not by the separatist, so that is very significant. my cnn colleague nick paton walsh is there. what do we know about exactly where and how the remains, how the victims are being kept? >> well, we saw early this morning the trains make their way into the rail station near where i'm standing. the malaysian official, because they have experts here assisting in the investigation, telling me the separatist handing over to him 282 bodies and what he referred to in intact condition, a good condition, so not damaged by the blast that took out mh-17 out of the sky. he did also say, much more troubling, that he was handed 87 different body parts by the separatists as well. so the task we always knew was going to be difficult for dutch officials to identify everybody on that plane and they will be doing that in the netherlands rather than here to speed up the process of bringing that back as quickly as possible towards their families. but p

tonight, the train left for the city of kharkiv, where the identifications will take place and then, finally, the victims will be flown home. today a touch mother capturing the heartbreak of so many. >> when i'm in my bed at night, i see my son lying on the ground. i see daisy, i see -- i see them in my head. >> reporter: at the u.n. security council, a unanimous vote, including russia, calling for an international investigation. the dutch foreigninister visibly outraged. >> to my dying day, i will not understand that it took so much time for the rescue workers to be allowed to do their difficult jobs. >> reporter: at the white house, president obama ratcheting up the pressure on vladimir putin to rein in the rebels. >> russia and president putin in particar has direct responsibility to compel them to cooperate with the investigation. this is the least that they can do. >> reporter: those rebels have had the black boxes, the flight recorders from the plane for days. tonight they have finally turned them over to malaysian investigators. diane? >> everyone wondering what those boxes wi
