and from kiev, michael, spokesperson in ukraine of the organization for security and cooperation i. you have a network of observers this the country. what are you hearing from the rest of ukraine? >> good to be back with you ray. well, as you may know we just finished over the weekend receiving eight of our colleagues who were held captive for an entire month in an unstable part of eastern ukraine. this was something that was really hard hit on the mission. it also shows that we're facing right now in those parts. monsters have had a tough time going around in their daily patrols. what we've had to do is reconfigure and get people out of harm's way. really, security safety of all our colleagues is the number one priority. and unless one can get those insurances, it will be very difficult to be part of some kind of agreement where we monitor the borders, for example. >> well, i know that you are certainly trying to be neutral, in your work for the country, but are you regarded for having taken a side by some of the people who are running these cities in the east? >> i don't think so.

and grim task there. that was wolf blitzer speaking with the spokesman for the organization for security and cooperation inurope. >>> you may have noticed that while many world powers point fingers at russia and pro-russian rebels, malaysian officials have for the most part remain side lent even though dozens of malaysians were on board the doomed flight. our will ripley looks at the reasons for their restraint. >> reporter: another malaysian tragedy is tainting the holy month of ramadan. public prayer, private fury. >> there was a lot of anger with the russians and the rebels. >> reporter: from the streets to the prime minister's office, this man lost his step grandmother on flight 17 but so far he's refusing to take sides. >> he's a very cautious political animal. >> reporter: the university professor james chance said he gained the rebels' trusts during hours of secret negotiations. he stayed neutral as other countries blamed pro-russian rebels and accused moscow of supplying weapons is this helping or hurting him politically? >> right now he has a major political success in the sense that he did negoti

saw open access earlier in the day, then a group of observers from the osce, the organization for security and cooperation in europe, arrived, with a pretty well-armed escort of separatist fighters. at that point, the main crash site was locked down in the sense that it was restricted to journalists and other -- other locals, but the site is rather huge. it's at least 35 square kilometers, rescuers are saying, and runs through a number of open field he is. so a perimeter of any kind that would allow for an investigation in the sense of the word that we're used to in america is -- is probably unrealistic. >> no, just about the worst conditions you can imagine, to get a proper investigation under way. phil, i wonder, as we see things improve slowly there, a little bit more access every day, the bodies, you know, crucially finally getting some of the respectful treatment that they and their families deserve, what about investigators though? in kiev now, you have ntsb investigators, you have the fbi, you have a dutch investigation team coming in. is there any sense as to when they are going to be able to get

. >> now, we have heard, del, today, in the later part of today, that the organization for security and cooperationn europe, the osce does have represents on the ground at that site, about 30 who are already there doing a variety of things, but they are not experts on this, and the imspar sheealty and full investigation is now what international leaders are calling for. del. >> fill thank you very much. >>> we turn now to tim freye the direction of russian studies at columbia university. who controls the crash site at this point in time. the rebels say it is their territories, ukraine says it's theres, and russia says it's there. who is in control? >> legally the ukrainian government is the sole country that has control over the investigation. but the rebels have de facto control over the area. >> if the ukrainian troops try to engage the rebels, would russian troops surge? >> i doubt that. right now the situation is very volatile and the use of russian forces in the ukraine would be a very bellicose act that would exacerbate an around dangerous situation. >> will this crash somehow be a catalyst f

the team from the organization for security and cooperation in europe, the osce, visited for just over an hour friday. you're seeing footage there of that. and they said they were met with hostility from the pro-russian rebels who control the area. a team of special investigators from malaysia have arrived in ukraine's capital kiev. they're hoping to get to the site and very importantly right now to begin the process of finding out what happened to that plane. american officials say they are certain it was brought down by a surface-to-air missile. probably, they say, fired by pro-russia separatists. cnn's phil black is the first network correspondent to reach the crash site and he sent us this report. take a look. >> reporter: what remains of malaysian airlines flight 17, its passengers, crew, their belongings and baggage are now spread across a wide area in this region of eastern ukraine. the landscape here is marked dramatically by large pieces of wreckage from the boeing 777. and it is marked very poignantly of the pieces of white ribbon tied to sticks that mark the location of bodi

village, heavily armed rebel fighters accompanied observers from malaysia and the organization for security and cooperation in europe, the osce. while rebels held the crash site, the bodies were gathered up and moved to the town of tores. the leader kept the remains in four refrigerated train cars and after a 17 hour journey, the train carrying 198 bodies arrived where ukrainian authorities set up their crash investigation centered. >> 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 and that human remains should be used in a political game, as somebody here around the table talks about a political game, this is the political game played with human remains and it is despicable. >> the prime minister was able to negotiate the surrender of the two flight data recorders said to be in good position, they will give time, and altitude of the aircraft when hit. the unsecured site of the crash has been a source of frustration for officials around the world. tuesday, russian president vladimir putin said his country will do everything i

>> reporter: those representatives will meet in belarus with a delegate from the organization for security and cooperation in europe. they want to be able to get investigators access to that crash site. and to do that they need to find a way to get a truce between russian -- pro-russian separatists and ukrainian forces who are fighting in the east. a missile brought down flight mh-17 two weeks ago, killing all 298 people on board. more than half of them from the netherlands. international team of investigators led by the dutch have tried time and again to access the site, some remains of along with debris.ll in the forensic experts need to go through the evidence to figure out what happened to the plane and give families of the victims some closure. but investigators have feared for their own safety because of fighting nearby between ukrainian soldiers and the separatists. and in some cases the rebels themselves have blocked them from going to th. >> unfortunately we don't expect the security situation to improve enough over the next days to make it possible. this makes it less likely that we will reach t

the team from the organization for security and cooperation in europe, osce, visited the crash site for just over an hour friday. >> they say they were met with hostility from rebels and were not given full access to the site. one of the team members spoke with cnn's erin burnett. >> once we arrived there, things escalated very rapidly, not for the better. we were met, if you want to put it that way, by quite inhospitable armed individuals. they severely limited the amount of area where we could observe. they -- they were aggressive towards us. and also the amount of time that we spent on the ground was only 75 minutes. they were very weary of us going close to any fuselage. the bodies are laid out there. they don't appear to have been touched since they fell from the sky. and also very importantly, of course, to everybody involved is that there's very little security around the perimeter of the site. so, really anyone can go on the site and tamper with the fuselage or whatever. so, it's a very complicated, difficult and dangerous environment. >> and did you see any of that, michael? an

forensic and police officers from the netherlands, they are currently in donetsk awaiting an improvement in the security situation near the crash site. the organization for security and cooperation in europe says shelling kept them away as well. however, they say they will try again on monday. malaysia's government says it's reached a deal with the rebels with international police. >> 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

. >> the assertion comes just after a team of international monitors from the organization for security and cooperation in europe reached the site, but the osce monitors said they were not able to secure an access core door and did not have the freedom of movement that they need to do their job. the security council has given its support to an independent investigation. >> world leaders have called for a rapid investigation into this incident, which could mark a pivotal moment in the deteriorating relations between russia and the west. >> amid the rubble of the fight -- flight from amsterdam, this souvenir t-shirt was found, along with countless other passenger belongings. emergency workers, police, and even off-duty coal miners had been combing fields near the crash site for clues about how the airliner was downed. so far, they have recovered more than 180 bodies. rescue workers also discovered a second black rocks recorder on friday after pro-russian separatists said they had found the first -- rescue workers also discovered a second black box recorder. >> we ask all respective governments to do your

. >>> let's move to ukraine now, and the organization for security and cooperation in europe, says it'sve finally reached the crash site of mh17. fighting in the eastern part of ukraine had prevented them from safely getting to the area for over a week now. the team was accompanied by four dutch and australian aviation experts. 298 people died when the plane was shot down near a village two weeks ago. >>> barnaby phillips is in donetsk with the latest. >> so a small time of osce observers were able to reach the crash site today. that's the first time in several days that they have been able to do so, but their journey there was long, far from straightforward, moving through a combat area, and we understand that there have been artillery strikes in the immediate facility of where mh 17 came down. so it does not necessarily mean that a door has been opened and this long awaited investigation will now proceed smoothly. tragically we believe there are the bodies of many dozens of people or the remains at least of many dozens of people in the vicinity of the crash site. the ukrainian parliam

. >>> observers also belonging to the organization for security and cooperation in europe were turnedk again on wednesday. this latest attempt to get to the rubble of the downed airliner ended after discussions with pro-russian rebels. crash investigators may not even be able to finish their report at this stage? >> reporter: this is a dirty and brutal war that is not just being played out in the hills, but in heavily populated areas, and civilians are being killed. both sides have heavy artillery and they are using it. both sides are being blamed for shelling these areas. the same time there is also heavy fighting around the crash site of mh17, and for the fourth day in a row, investigators from australia and the netherlands have been unable to reach that site, so it's becoming increasingly unlikely that they will be able to come up with a definitive conclusive report. >>> for the ukrainians still left in donetsk these are tense times. until a few months ago it was a cosmopolitan city full of foreigners. barnaby phillips sent us this report. >> reporter: the trams still run. some peo
