Russia veto UN resolution on downed MH17 plane

A United Nations plan to set up an ad hoc tribunal designed to punish
those responsible for the downing of flight MH17 has been blocked by
the UN Security Council.

298 people were on board the Malaysian Airlines flight that crashed
whilst flying over Ukraine in July last year killing all those
onboard.

Russia used their power of a veto to block the move citing that while
the MH17 disaster was a criminal act- it's not within the orbit of
international peace and security.

William Denselow has more from the United Nations in New York.
