Vice News has issued this video dispatch from the crash zone. (WARNING: Graphic Content):
RFE/RL's news desk has some more details of David Cameron's conversation with Angela Merkel and Francois Hollande earlier today:
The leaders of Britain, France and Germany agreed during a telephone call to impose further sanctions on Russia if President Vladimir Putin does not ensure that pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine allow investigators free access to the site of the downed Malaysian airliner.
The office of French President Francois Hollande released a statement on July 20 saying Hollande had spoken with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and British Prime Minister David Cameron.
The statement said the three agreed "to demand from Mr. Putin today that he ensure that Ukrainian separatists allow emergency workers and investigators free and complete access" to the site where the Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 airliner crashed after being shot down, killing all 298 people aboard.
The statement also said, "If Russia does not immediately take the necessary measures, consequences will be drawn by the European Union at the Foreign Affairs Council which takes place" on July 22.
