out why airlines are keeping their purse strings tight. ♪ we begin in south africa where the high court is about to decide if the bashir should be handed over to a criminal court and expecting a victim at any moment and attending the summit in johanesburg is acruised of crimes against humanity and they say he should be arrested by the government is saying he should be allowed home. >> yes, of course president yuma declared this that president bashir is our guest in south africa and he can stay whatever time he likes and can leave whatever time he wants and he is under the protection of the south african authorities. >> reporter: al jazeera is live

for us in johanesburg and it may be academic but there are reports that president bashir may have already left south africa. adrian, they have indeed been unconfirmed reports he may have left the country in the last hour or two and we are talking about the military base where his plane was flown later on sunday. now, if we look back to the interim and court order that came through on sunday preventing or ordering him from leaving the country one of the respondents that wasn't included is the military because national defense force so it could be possible that he has left via that air base and do await confirmation, however, this would also call into question proceedings in court that are expected to resume any moment from now adrian? >> all right, what does this say about the pressure that the south african legal system is

under? it will be criticized whatever the high court decides to do. >> reporter: well south african government is in a very difficult position and of course there was an interim order put in place and if bashir has left south africa affairs department would be in contempt of court and could possibly argue they have done everything in their power to keep it in the country with all ports of entry and it's not quite certain if they found a loophole in terms of him leaving from the military air base but south africa facing dilemma with regard to international and law. when south africa signed a rome statute that established the international criminal court it also incorporated those values and those legals aspects into its own national law and the south african government is in a position and will have to tackle the two different obligations and here on out work if they have done the right thing and

who should be held responsible if bashir has left the country and wasn't arrested by the interim order and should stay in south africa. >> live in johanesburg. opposition leaders of australia have a government inquiry into weather navy commanders bribed people smugglers to take them back to indonesia and a boat similar to this with 65 migrants was stopped last month and cab tin and crew told indonesia the police said they were paid $5,000 each to return to indonesia and use trail kwa-- australia tony abbot will not confirm or deny and they say turning away migrants is a moral question for the use trael yanukovich -- australian government. >> and the bigger issue is not just of legality but also of you

know of moral code, is it really right for australia to bribe the bowed crew of an asylum seeker vessel with thousands of dollars to send them back to another country like indonesia and the question of legality and also a question of what is right and wrong. >> update from andrew thomas in sidney. >> reporter: there are three central questions. did this payment occur, did australian officials pay people smugglers to take asylum seekers back to indonesia and if they did was that legal and what is all this doing to the relationship between indonesia and australia, to take those in turn did it happen and tony abbot prime minister was asked repeatedly on monday and refiez -- refused the question and said it was operational security and national interest to reveal whether it happened so on that basis we are none the wiser

although there are growing voices in indonesia saying there is payment of $30,000 and is it legal? legal expects in australia say probably not because they have strict antipeople smuggling laws and to pay people smugglers can have a big prison sentence or fine and take the attorney general to mount the prosecution and will that happen of australian government officials? seems very unlikely. third what is all this doing between relationship between australia and indonesia and the government has made representations to the indonesia government ambassador to dakarta called in by indonesia foreign ministry and asked to explain what was going on and said he will find out and indonesia made it clear they are offended by this and offended by the fact they are not getting answers as well. australia federal police asked by the green party to investigation and they say they are considering whether to

investigate and this is an opaque mess at the moment but seems in the coming days we may get a few more answers. war in yemen and talks in geneva and u.n. secretary-general called for immediate humanitarian powers and wants armed groups to withdraw an order an inclusive political transition. >> today yemen's very existence hangs in the balance, why parties call for women enand the parties have a responsibility to end the fighting and begin the real process of peace and reconciliation. >> yemen foreign minister responded to ban ki-moon's plan and says there won't be a ceasefire until the houthis withdraw from captured areas but a houthi spokesman says that is unlikely to happen. >> translator: we are not happy with this verdict taking the security matters in our hands, who is going to fill this

vacuum, state institutions army and the police are not able to protect themselves and when they speak about laying down arms giving up arms to whom should we give our arms? whether it's our party or other party they should hand it over to the state authority and yet the state authority is absent. >> update in geneva. >> talks underway, the u.n. envoy is meeting with representatives of the government, the houthis have not arrived yet and expecting them to arrive later in the day, for the time being there will be no face-to-face talks, just more over talks in separate roles and the u.n. envoy will shuffle back and forth and bring them together to talk about moving forward because of the growing political divide and the trust issues but hope of the international currenty and u.n. in particular is to start talks about humanitarian relief

allowing aid into yemen, to provide aid to thousands of people who have been stranded in different parts of the country and then security arrangement and whether the houthis are willing to pull out of the area of controls. the third point would be basically starting political process and this is something which is going to take some time because the environment doesn't seem to be conducive to start the talks because of the problems they have and the fighting which has been flaring up in different parts of the country and also in aiden. but for the international community and the u.n. this is a significant step forward and the first time that different yemen factions are going to meet here converge in geneva with the hope of starting real talks about political settlement and the future of yemen. in yemen itself there has been more violence, 27 houthi rebels were killed in fighting and also intense battles in other cities such as aiden and

thai and that is of course to the suffering of yemen civilians. students have returned to class despite the mers outbreak in south korea that now killed 16 people and 2 1/2 thousand reopened and 440 remain shut with exams coming up soon students have been wearing masks and being taught how to prevent the stred of disease and from the capitol seoul we report. >> reporter: monday morning and it's back to school for these children living in the outskirts of the capitol and the mers scare forced up to 3,000 schools, colleges and universities to shut their doors as a precaution and some parents remain anxious about taking their children back to class even if they are wearing protective masks. >> translator: i'm a little worried about classes resuming but i hope our children can enjoy school life again in a secure environment. >> reporter: every pupil is checked to make sure they do not

icc rules and nothing will happen to him and this has been confirmed with the president yum ashgs yuma and president bashir can stay any time he likes and can leave any time he wants. >> so that would imply that politics overrules the rule of law in south africa. >> that is exactly right but the whole thing and they think this ic icc, so they will not be obliged

to comply with it and decorations so i think now it appears finally the icc has nothing to do with africa any more. >> as far as we are aware south africa's high court is still in session, deciding what to do about the president. will this incident make president bashir think again about traveling outside the country, will he be reluctant to do so and more reluctant in the future? >> actually the prison inside

you know too many countries and those countries wouldn't go but after africa is with yuma and i think this is leaving africans and insulting core is intimidating to africans or some sort of colonization and that is why the meeting be established in africa for these for justice other than icc. >> minister thanks indeed for your time, that is sudan state

minister for information confirming that bashir has left johanesburg and back to sudan and we will bring in miller who is in johanesburg at the summit that bashir was attending and as far as i know you would be able to put me straight the high court is still in session deciding what to do about president bashir it's all very embarrassing for south africa isn't it? >> well that is certainly correct adrian that the high court is still in session, they are continuing to hear arguments from both the government as well as civil society organizations around why bashir should be arrested and what value that has is questionable and the court has not yet received confirmation that the sunni's president has left the country. they are waiting for that from the department of home affairs whose obligation was to keep him in south africa and due to

notify various ports of entry and could have left from the military air base here in south africa and the entire situation is very embarrassing for south africa because now it's stuck between a rock and hard place whether they let bashir leave the country or considering possibly arresting him, either way they would have criticism on one side from african union and obligations to the organization in terms of immunity and his estate and international law and obligations to the international criminal courts. >> there was a court order preventing president bashir from leaving the country, that was issued yesterday but also yesterday his plane was moved from a civilian to a military airport, i mean they saw a loophole at the time they issued the court order that is highly embarrassing, isn't it? >> well especially if bashir

was orchestrated in such a manner in that this court case one of respondents did not include the military especially military air base and that would have caused bashir would allow him to leave via that air base and at this point if indeed he left what is possibly an investigation as to who allowed him to leave the country and also we are wondering if the department of home affairs ultimately be held in contempt of court for not obeying that order and keeping el bashir in the country. >> thank you miller live in johanesburg. air bus says between now and 2034 says the world will need $5 trillion of new planes that is more than 32 1/2 thousand jets and plane maker released the figures to go with the paris air show and the big deal in the past few years are not expected but already have been some

orders and this is just outside paris. >> reporter: if you own planes have anything to do with planes want to buy a plane chances are you will be here to the paris air show. you have the usual fight between air bus and boeing but has to be said it's a lot more subdued and a-380 and it carries 500 people at a time and yes an airline from dubai has 140 on order but new orders for planes this year is in single figures and a big question of whether the engines can be fuel efficient enough to make this work for airlines. this plane has already proven as far as fuel efficiency that is boeing 778 airliner and vietnam but indonesia wants 30 of these new planes but again only announced here an intense to buy 30 of those and tells you about
