Eastern ukraine killing all 198 people on board. 74 more coffins of people who died in the crash will be returned to the netherlands. Authorities hope all the passengers remains they have recovered so far will be return bid friday. Meanwhile, British Security officials have something which could be significant. They say they have conversations intercepted by ukrainian intelligence showing russianbacked rebels talking about having possession of an sa11 Missile System as early as monday, july 14. Thats three days before the malaysian airliner was shot down. The report says separatists talked about moving bodies at the crash site. Now authorities have to begin the grim task of examining now and identifying the bodies of those kills on board flight mh17. The first 40 coffins arrived in the netherlands on wednesday. Senior International CorrespondentNick Peyton Walsh reports. In many of their hearts were dreams of beaches, tranquil vacations. 298 lives taken here in a war they may have known little of. After days of painful pleading with separatists, this train of five refrigerated wagons brought them closer to a resting place. But behind closed walls began the grim task of working out how many human souls were in the body bags on board. A journey that began so unceremoniously could only grow in dignity. A dutch c130 taking 16 coffins, four loaded in silence. Ukraines embattled army honoring as them as they could. Global opinion at one in sadness. We stand together today united in grief with the families and friends who have lost people they cherish. As much dignity as can be afforded these bodies on this far perhaps the easiest part of their journey back to the netherlands. 40 in total carried out today, the rest, they hope, by friday. Only then can Forensic Science begin to work out who and how many they were. As they landed, the noise of recrimination was drowned out by a more powerful silence of respect, grief. The netherlands planes briefly stopped flights, paused entirely for a minute. They played the last post on the bugle, normally for fallen soldiers, instead for these, perhaps victims of a war crime. The line of hearses, this for only one seventh of those killed witness to how mammoth and sickening this loss is to the netherlands. Even when these processions end, the search for bodies may not. Some perhaps left in that field in ukraine. Their families left with only time to help cope with the loss and forget how mh17 came to end. Nick peyton walsh, cnn, kharkiv. And in another development, the u. S. Is now investigating in a separate incident whether the missiles shot two ukrainian fighter jets were shot down from russia. Prorussian rebels are claiming responsibility for bringing down those fighter jets and they say they used a shoulder fired Missile System the Ukrainian Defense says it was possibly from inside russia. The pilots ejected after they were hit but the Ukrainian Military hasnt given any word on their conditions. U. S. Secretary of state john kerry reports some progress in talks toward an israel hamas ceasefire. So far there is no clear way forward. Kerry met wednesday with the israeli and Palestinian Authority leaders the key is getting hamas to agree with a ceasefire, a proposal it has already rejected once but a hamas spokesman signalled some movement in an interview wednesday with cnn. If there was direct contact to hamas and they are under the same conditions, i dont think that there will be any problem for hamas to say yes. U. S. Aviation authorities have lifted the ban on american flights into and out of tel aviv and that, of course, comes as a big relief to israel. John vause has more. Hes joining me live now from jerusalem. John, israel pushed back hard saying that this flight ban was essentially handing hamas a victory. As you said, they must be quite relieved but i guess now it comes to whether or not these airlines will choose to fly this path. I guess its a question of when now they decide that its safe enough for these carriers to land at bengurion airport with the faa now lifting that ban, clearly a lot of airlines will resume those flights. The timing, though, is the issue you did mention this will be a great relief for the israelis. In fact, they have raised this with john kerry, the u. S. Secretary of state when he was here, theyre very concerned that bengurion airport may in fact be closed down but for a handful of carriers and this faa ban in place only 22 carriers had been landing at the tel aviv airport this was a big issue, 90 of these people coming in and out of this country, they do it via bengurion airport. Now that that ban has been lifted it was under review, it was apparently going to be in place until 7 00 tonight here which is 11 hours from now but now the ban has been lifted. So its up to those individual airlines to make that decision whether or not they believe it is safe enough. The israelis certainly thing so. The airlines believe its safe you have no land at bengurion airport. As we saw over the past couple days, a lot has been made about this flight ban into bengurion airport. We saw the former new york city mayor Michael Bloomberg arriving in testify veef demonstrating it is safe to fly into that airport. There are allegations that the Obama Administration was using this ban to pressure israel to a ceasefire. You were on one of those first flights diverted on its way to tel aviv. You ended up in paris but what were the people saying on that flight . Did they think that this was an overreaction . A lot of people did think the faa and Delta Airlines in particular because thats the flight that i was on were, in fact, overreacting. They believed the airport was safe. They say the rocket landed about a mile away from the airport and officials have moved flights away from the southern end of the airport so it was out of the ranger of hamas rockets. Or at least they thought. There are missile interceptions and the iron dome Protection System in place around bengurion airport and the threat of hamas, rockets had, in fact, complicated the push for a ceasefire because there was a thought that if hamas could almost close down bengurion airport but close it down for all intents and purposes that would put more pressure on the israelis not to agree to a ceasefire because then it becomes harder for them because they clearly need to eliminate that strategic threat from hamas with those missiles before they could stop the ground operation or the air strikes on gaza. Now ban has been lifted. Thats no longer an issue when it comes to the ceasefire negotiations. John, lets talk about the prospects for a ceasefire. Youve covered this region extensively for many years and as weve heard hamas does have some demands including an end to the blockade, the air, land, and sea blockade of gaza. Will israel in your opinion consider an end to the blockade . Look, thats a long and difficult issue for the israelis to deal with, this is the problem we have. The israelis have their demands, hamas have their demands and right now its difficult to deal with these two competing dema s demands, reopen the borders from hamass point of view, demilitarize gaza from the israelis point of view while also trying to stop the fighting. It is a positive sign that john kerry flew from tel aviv to cairo overnight so hes still the region. And you have whats known now as sequencing. When they put in place some kind of formula to stop the fighting and deal with those much bigger issues. I think the only way the israelis may be inclined to agree to the border being reopened, they may be inclined to allow the raffa border to be reopened. The egyptians dont want to take control of raffa, they dont want anything do with it, or maybe a stretch in the Palestinian Authority are put in charge of that border crossing, not hamas, hamas is probably unlikely to accept that so its very complicated and very difficult to negotiate this where youre trying to stop both sides from killing each other. Challenging and complex might be an understand statement. John vause, appreciate your reporting from jerusalem. Thank you. Israel was critical of the faa ban its sharply critical of the u. N. Human rights councils move to investigate human rights abuses in gaza. The Council Voted at a meeting in geneva. He says the u. S. Should be investigating hamas for turning hospitals and schools into weapons depoes. The council points to the very high number of civilian deaths in gaza and the killing of children in particular. Our Paula Hancocks has more. Reporter more children than hamas fighters have been killed so far in gaza according to the United Nations innocent victims of a conflict they were born into. One child has been killed each hour in gaza over the past two days. Each of these children had a name and the future and a life that was cut horribly short. Reporter they went to the beach to flay football. It cost them their lives. Four children, aged 9 to 11, killed by israeli fire. Another father loses a son. Small bodies carried through the streets of gaza and grief over lives barely begun yet already ove over. Names of young victims were read out tuesday at the u. N. By palestinian observer riyadh mansour. Children are often the biggest casualties in gaza and surprising as almost half of the population is under the age of 14. In the midst of one of the most densely populated territories on earth, there are few places for the young to run and hide. Of more than 600 palestinians killed, 161 are children as of wednesday morning. A third are under the age of 18. Even those without physical scars bear the invisible battle wounds of trauma. Losing parents or homes or simply listening to the macabre sound track of a battle fought nearby with such a large young population unable to leave gaza no one doubts that more small graves will be dug and filled before this fighting ends. Paula hancocks, cnn, new york f. A german astronaut calls it his saddest photo yet. Alexander gerst shared a picture of gaza as seen from space. He tweeted from the International Space station we can actually see explosions and rockets flying over gaza and israel. This photo has been retweeted more than 13,000 times. An extraordinary perspective and image there and of course no one wants to see fireworks of this kind. Coming up on cnn, was it a legitimate execution or cruel and unusual punishment .

Welcome back, everyone. The governor of the u. S. State of arizona has now ordered a review after a convicted killer condemned to die remained alive almost two hours after his execution had begun. We have the story of the death of joseph wood. Reporter the length of time it took to execute joseph wood took everyone by surprise. Heres the time line. At 1 52, a doctor delivered the lethal injection. By 1 57, wood was sedated. Then at 2 02, he began to breathe and a minute later his mouth moved. Witnesses report hearing him gasping and snorting for nearly two hours. You could hear a deep snoring, sucking air sound. I counted about 660 times he sort of gasped, kind of looked like as if he was trying to breathe or catch air. Finally at 3 49, almost two hours after the lethal injection, a doctor pronounced wood dead. Executions typically take ten minutes. Woods execution clearly did not go off as plan. But his unexpectedly prolonged death did not concern his victims family. Everybodys more worried about did he suffer. Who really suffered was my dad and my sister when they were killed. Jeannie brown and her husband witnessed woods murdered 25 years ago, they dispute the witnesses who claim wood was gasping. To me it looked like he was sleeping, he was snoring. Thats what i saw. Reporter after the execution, they dismissed concerns about the secrecy surrounding lethal injection drugs. This man conducted a horrifying murder and you guys are going oh, lets worry about the drug. Well, why didnt we give him a bullet . Joseph wood woods attorney dale baich watched the execution and spoke with us this hour. Heres his account of what happened. After mr. Wood gave his last words, the chemicals began to flow and his eyes closed and his brooiftding appeared to stop about five minutes into the process a medical team member came in and did a consciousness check he said mr. Wood was sedated. About five minutes after that his lips began to move. And he exhaled and began gasping for air. And that gasping went on for an hour and 40 minutes. Very descriptive account there. Woods lawyers filed an appeal asking he be resuscitating saying his rights against cruel and unusual punishment were being violated but that request was deniedenied. Its sure to stoke debate about the death penalty. Amara . An american teenager has been killed and his father is missing after a plane they were in crashed off the coast of american samoa. Both were pilots attempting to set a record for flying around the world. Their families say the plane crashed into the ocean on tuesday night. The u. S. Coast guard is sending a ship to help search for the father. So far theres been no sign of the planes flight data recorder still to come here on cnn, dozens are killed in another plane crash and this one in taiwan. Well look at why weather conditions may have been to blame. Right now investigators in taiwan are working to determine the exact cause of a plane crash that killed dozens of people during stormy weather. The Transasia Airways turboprop plane came down near an airport on one of taiwans penghu islands and crashed into homes. Well bring in David Mckenzie following this from our beijing bureau. David, were talking about weather being a cause because thats all we know at this point, there was a storm in the region. Walk us through what details are available at this early stage. Well, errol, we do know that tragically more than 40 people were killed in this crash and the plane in question, an atr72, is well known for dealing with short runways and tricky scenarios like this, according to the manufacturer. But what happened, errol, this plane was already delayed because of the weather, the Severe Weather in the area, typhoon matmo had just swept through taiwan, was on its way out of the region into Mainland China when this plane was cleared to take off for the relatively short flight from southern taiwan to one of the penghu islands. It appears that it tried to land and then bailed out of that landing, was in communications with the tower and then lost communications and crashed right into a residential area. And those dramatic pictures of the plane mangled in those houses and despite that it appears several people might have escaped the wreckage, though their injuries at this stage are unclear. Errol . We should explain the penghu islands off of taiwans west coast where this storm is still churning is that it moved from taiwan to china. This type of plane, though, would travel to islands like this on a regular basis. Talk to us about exactly where this happened. This is a short flight. Planes like this into other islands and between taiwan islands so this would have been a very regular scheduled flight according to taiwanese media there were several other plane which is landed without any problems. You know, i want you to take a look at the plane in question. This was shot by a plane enthusiast several years ago of the exact plane and you can see this turboprop plane, you know, is almost perfectly designed for these kind of short haul flights that you get all across the world with domestic carriers like Transasia Airways. Now, certainly the airline says theyre doing everything they can to assist Family Members, there were at least two foreigners, french nationals, on board the flight that crashed and they are scrambling assistance from the main part of taiwan, both military and civilian, to help in the Recovery Efforts at this stage. Now, very early to tell, of course, questions being asked about the weather conditions as youve said, errol, but they have managed to recover the black box or flight data recorder. That should get more information to investigators. But certainly taiwan will be an area in mourning today as they wake up to this tragic news. Well see what information these black boxes reveal. David mckenzie, live for us from our beijing bureau. Thanks, david. Lets get a closer look now at the weather at the time of the crash. Our meteorologist joins us from the international weathercenter. As we looked at this yesterday, we all the talked about the size of this storm and how it may have moved over the island but it was still leaving heavy rains in the area. It was. The storm made landfall in china two hours before this plane took off from taiwan. So you would think the conditions would began to clear back behind the storm system but that was not the case when you look at the radar imagery and slide imagery we have across there portion of taiwan. To give you the perspective with this storm system, it was not a super typhoon, it was not expected to become one. But it had winds equivalent to a category two hurricane, around 100 Miles Per Hour, 160 kph. It made landfall in eastern taiwan. When it pushed towards china, 3 30 in the afternoon wednesday, is when it made landfall there across portions of eastern china but the airplane took off two hours aft
