It seems the OSCE observers are still being denied full access to the MH17 crash site (from RFE/RL's news desk):

Armed separatists in eastern Ukraine have for a second day prevented international inspectors from reaching the wreckage of the Malaysian airliner that was shot down on July 17, killing all 298 people.

The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) said its team of monitors was only allowed to visit a part of the field strewn with debris from the airliner.

Separatists on July 18 blocked the inspectors from visiting the crash site.

President Petro Poroshenko said in a statement that he would "not tolerate interference" with the work of international investigators.

Earlier on July 19, Ukraine's government accused separatists of trying to destroy evidence of an international crime "with the help of Russia."

Kyiv also said separatists moved 38 bodies to a morgue in Donetsk.

A rebel commander told the OSCE team on July 19 that separatists did not touch evidence and had not found the plane’s ‘black box’ flight data recordings.
