Four men accused of murdering 298 people in the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 in 2014 went on trial in the Netherlands, with a judge saying it was an "atrocious disaster". The suspects -- three Russians and a Ukrainian -- were not present in the dock, but judges were expected to rule that the hearing could continue in their absence. IMAGES
A prosecutor in the MH17 trial says she hopes for favourable outcome but that it was also important "that we could speak about what happened openly in court" as a Dutch court rules in the trial of four men over the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 above Ukraine in 2014. Prosecutors have demanded life sentences for the suspects although the men are unlikely to serve time if convicted. SOUNDBITE
