The remains of up to 196 people from the MH17 crash in Ukraine have been loaded on to refrigerated rail wagons, to be taken to an unknown destination.

All 298 people on the Malaysia Airlines flight died when a missile reportedly hit it on Thursday.

Pro-Russian separatists, suspected of shooting it down, say they had recovered the plane's flight recorders and were prepared to hand them to international investigators.

Daniel Sandford reports from the scene.
