This Vantage Point we often hear explosions that are very far away. I cant tell you where those shells are landing. We briefly heard small arms fire on two occasions as well. At this key moment after we just have heard from the ukranian president who spoke to barack obama hours ago about the need for the ceasefire to be respected, spoke to Angela Merkel and francois holland. At this stage now were not hearing a noticeable change in the sounds behind me. We can hear that shelling very clearly at this hour. Fred youre in mariopol. He also came under attack. Set the scene for us there. Are you also hearing shelling there . Reporter right now were not hearing any shelling from our van take pointtage point jim.

That was taken ten years ago stemming from the civil lawsuit filed by one of his accusers cosby admits to sexual relationships with at least five women. And he admits to the use of drugs in his pursuits. He says he tried to hide the affairs from his wife and talks about paying women to keep quiet. Constand is one of dozens of women who have publicly accused cosby. Cnn has reached out to cosbys public cyst who says he has no comment at this time. Jean is joining me now with more. Youve had a chance to go through much of this deposition. What stands out to you as most damming . Well, i guess hearing cosby speak himself. This was a sworn affidavit. This was a sworn deposition that can be used in court. So he had to make an oath that what he was saying was absolutely the truth. He does say that he had sexual relations with at least five women. But he said he never went all the way with them because he didnt want them to fall in love with him. He wanted it just to be playful sexual activity
This is 10monthold derina among the youngest victims. Her mother took this photo before the family took off for that trip to egypt. The little girl, her mother and her father were all killed. I want to bring in matthew chance. He is in st. Petersburg for us this evening. You know, when you look i mean, wow looking behind you, just seeing how much that makeshift memorial has grown there, what are people saying on the ground . Reporter yeah, well, its obviously deeply, deeply sad, the atmosphere here. And even now, what is it, 2 00 in the morning here local time in st. Petersburg, people are still coming out, and they are paying their respects and laying flowers. A gentleman over here doing exactly that, lighting candles, putting childrens toys at this memorial outside the arrivals gate at the airport where the plane was destined to come, was supposed to be coming. Obviously its become the focus of those sad commemorations, of that tragic loss of life. 224 People Killed as a result of th
Or this ill faded flight departed. All flights into egypt. This is despite insistence from the kremlin that bomb theories are mere speculation.

So i have Richard Quest with me, cnn aviation correspondent. Also renee marsh is with us as well. Renee, let me begin with you on the reporting. Talk to me about it. This is inbound flights into the United States from certain airports overseas, yes . Right, and they are being very vague.
