MH17: Bodies missing as forensic experts begin identifying victims

The head of the Dutch forensic team in Ukraine says a train carrying the remains of MH17 victims contains significantly fewer bodies than claimed by pro-Russian rebels.

The separatists said there were 282 bodies on the train but only 200 have been found.

"We are sure of having 200 bodies and body parts, that is all that I know," said Jan Tuinder, the head of the Dutch delegation.

International monitors say the crash site is still being compromised by separatists near Donetsk, a stronghold of pro-Russian rebels, where fighting with Ukrainian troops flared again on Tuesday.

Abbott v Putin: the grudge match

Reserve Bank governor Stevens encourages risk-taking firms

The Reserve Bank's governor Glenn Stevens says businesses need to focus less on risk reduction and more on growth.

Speaking to an audience of economists at a lunch, Mr Stevens says a culture of risk aversion has gripped the business community since the financial crisis.

The RBA's governor has urged the need for greater business and infrastructure investment in order to lift western economies out of their low growth rates.

Mr Stevens says governments, and the G20, will need to play a key role, as central banks can provide cheap money but cannot ensure that it is put to productive uses.
