Polish president's body flown home


The body of the Polish president has arrived back in Warsaw a day after after he and 95 others were killed in an air crash in western Russia. Lech Kaczynski's coffin arrived on a military flight from Smolensk, where he had been travelling to a memorial service when his jet crashed in thick fog on Saturday. The president's twin brother, Jaroslav Kaczynski, Bronislaw Komorowski, the acting president; and Donald Tusk, the prime minister, joined other officials to meet the coffin at the military airport after its short flight from Russia, where Vladimir Putin, the Russian prime minister, saw the flight off after a short ceremony.
