British Experts To Examine MH17 Black Boxes

Air accident investigators based at Farnborough will examine the data from the black boxes of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17.

David Cameron confirmed the UK Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB), part of the Department for Transport, would take the lead in analysing the crucial black box data.

He tweeted: "We've agreed Dutch request for air accident investigators at Farnborough to retrieve data from #MH17 black boxes for international analysis."

Aleksander Borodai handed the boxes to Malaysia's Colonel Mohamed Sakri

Rebel leader Aleksander Borodai - prime minister of the self-styled Donetsk People's Republic - earlier handed over the boxes in front of a packed room of journalists.

Malaysian Colonel Mohamed Sakri said they were "intact, although a bit damaged".

The handover comes as Dutch foreign minister Frans Timmermans said the EU had agreed to impose sanctions on more Russia officials in the wake of the crash.

European ministers have been meeting in Brussels to discuss new measures against Moscow, which is accused of backing the rebels suspected of being behind the disaster.

Mr Timmermans said a "forceful decision" had been agreed that would impose further visa bans and asset freezes.

The train carrying the MH17 victims left rebel-held territory overnight

He did not specify names or say how many Russian officials were on the list.

Mr Timmermans added that EU foreign ministers were preparing more forceful sanctions against Russia's arms, energy and financial sectors if it continues to back the rebels in Ukraine.

Many of the victims of flight MH17 have now arrived in the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, where the bodies will be handed over to Dutch officials.

Refrigerated train wagons made the 186-mile (300km) journey from Torez overnight, after armed separatists who had been guarding the carriages allowed them to leave.

Inside were up to 280 bodies, which will now be flown to the Netherlands where two-thirds of the 298 victims came from.

The bodies are expected to arrive in the country on Wednesday.
