Good morning. We will start the live blog today with this update from our news desk:

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has stressed that investigators must be given full access to the site of the Malaysia Airlines crash in Ukraine.

The State Department says Kerry made the remark in a phone call on July 19 with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

Kerry also said the United States is "very concerned" over reports that the remains of victims and debris from the site of the crash on July 17 that killed 298 people have been removed or tampered with.

Kerry said Washington was also concerned over denial of "proper access" to the crash site in eastern Ukraine for monitors from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and international investigators.

Kyiv has accused pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine near the crash site of interfering with the investigation by removing victims' bodies and parts of the airplane.
