After expressing misgivings about the wording of the UN resolution, the Russian ambassador ultimately raised his hand in favour. A veto from Moscow would have provoked even more of an international outcry. US ambassador Samantha Power said it would not have been necessary had Russia used its leverage to get the separatist rebels to let international experts visit the site sooner. Raising a hand in support of a resolution at the UN is different from lifting a finger to help, and the test of this resolution will come from its implementation on the ground. Not for the first time during this crisis, the chamber of the Security Council felt more like a courtroom, with Vladimir Putin still very much in the dock.

A chorus of Kremlin-friendly media declared on Monday that the truth about what happened to the Malaysian jet would likely never be found out, accusing the West of heaping the blame on Russia. "Western press already knows who is to blame for the loss of the airliner - Russia obviously," said popular tabloid Komsomolskaya Pravda. Mass-circulation Moskovsky Komsomolets accused the West of pinning the blame on Russia before the results of a yet-to-begin investigation are out. "Those guilty have been designated," it said, recalling that the United States had falsely accused dictator Saddam Hussein of having weapons of mass destruction in the run-up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq. "It is unclear whether it is possible to tell the truth from the lies in this wonderful new information world,"

Moskovsky Komsomolets added. Government newspaper Rossiiskaya Gazeta pointed the finger squarely at Kiev authorities, accusing them of refusing to cooperate with Moscow. "Kiev is not in a rush to answer '10 questions' about the Boeing," it said, referring to a litany of queries released by the Russian defence ministry over the weekend. Broadsheet newspapers took a more measured approach, saying the disaster ushered in a grim new era in ties between Russia and the West. "The catastrophe not only in the skies but also in relations between Russia and the West," said Nezavisimaya Gazeta. "The wreckage from the Boeing is falling on Russia," added Kommersant daily, noting that the outcome of the inquiry into the crash will determine the future of Russia's ties with the West.

The newspaper cited analyst Alexander Golts as saying that if probe results end up pointing the finger at Moscow, it would once again be perceived in the West as an "Evil Empire." But if the investigation proves the jet was shot down by Ukraine, Kiev would lose Western support, the expert was quoted as saying. Liberal daily Vedomosti said it was not too late for Russia to mend fences with the West. "Russia should start rebuilding trust in ties with Europe," it said. "Much has become irreversible but precise and responsible steps can still point to a path of mutual understanding." And Novye Izvestia featured on its front page a poem by prominent poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko saying all parties were to blame for the death of 298 people on flight MH17. "And I am crying, your unnamed brother/ Forgive me for this. I am guilty."

 Some 298 people died, including 10 Britons, when flight MH17 crashed in a pro-Russian rebel-held area last week. The PM said Moscow was fuelling the Ukraine conflict by arming the rebels, who are accused of downing the jet. He said it was unlikely the plane was shot deliberately - but warned of "hard-hitting" sanctions if Moscow did not change course on Ukraine. Mr Cameron said there was "anger" at what had happened and urged Moscow to stop training separatists and supplying them with weapons. The UK is set to push for increased sanctions against Russia at a meeting of EU foreign ministers on Tuesday.

 A senior rebel leader signed them over to the Malaysian officials at a meeting in the city of Donetsk. The handover came hours after the UN Security Council voted unanimously to demand immediate international access to the crash site. The Malaysian Airlines passenger jet crashed last Thursday, killing all 298 people on board. Western nations say there is growing evidence that flight MH17 was hit by a Russian-supplied missile fired by rebels, but Russia has suggested Ukrainian government forces are to blame.

The local mayor announced the new legislation today after a video surfaced last week showing sex acts being performed by a young British holidaymaker at a club night called Carnage. The resort’s reputation has been steadily deteriorating for years, but recent revelations about bars and clubs where tourists are encouraged to get drunk and engage in sexual behaviour in public proved the tipping point. Manuel Onieva, the Mayor of Calvia, a region including Magaluf, said the new law was an expression of his “total rejection and anger at the activities which were carried out in a video which is currently on the social media circuit.” In an attempt to clean up seedy bar crawls, any company wanting to operate one in the area will now need to apply for a licence through the town hall. In order to be granted a licence they will have to “prove their responsibility and show that they have the appropriate civil insurances in place,” the mayor said.
