intention to return to sudan in spite of an order from the high court not to leave south africa. germans of the military airbase say they have seen his plane leaving. although it is still not established whether or not al bashir was on the plane. the sudanese president is wanted by the icc for war crimes, and a court case is on the way in pretoria, compelling the south african government to arrest him. human rights activists has said he must be detained before he has a chance to leave the country. our correspondent joins us now. do you have any more on where the sudanese president actually is? >> well, i have literally just stepped out of court, and the lawyer acting for the south african government has stalled a full bench of the high court and that is three judges hearing this matter, that there is still no official confirmation from government officials, whether sudanese president omar al-bashir has left south africa. he is saying that he does not have official confirmation. halla: if it transpires that he has left, as many as the -- as many of these reports are suggesting the whole proceedings become somewhat academic, don't they? ayesha: that is correct. however, if he has left south africa, the south african government would be in contempt of a high court order issued by its very own high court judge. yesterday the judge, sitting in the pretoria high court, issued an interim order preventing the south african government from allowing al bashir to leave the country, and i'm told the matter has been heard today and i am told that such time as the judge has made an order. if he has left, then the south african government is in contempt of a high court order. i spoke to one of the lawyers acting for the southern africa litigation center, and they said that as soon as they receive official confirmation, that omar al-bashir has left, they will immediately institute contempt of order proceedings. against the south african government. halla: it is a developing story ayesha, and we will continue monitoring that. thank you for bringing us up to date. we move on to a breaking news story in chad. reports are coming in of multiple suicide bomb attacks in the capital in jim including police and intelligence officers. several people have been killed. no official confirmation yet of who carried out the attacks in n'djamena. it is believed to

get it. livia's internet -- livia's libya has claimed that most hard on molitor has been killed -- mokhtar belmokhtar has been killed. a debate rages on as to whether or not he is still alive. will hildebrandt takes a look at the man who has been called uncatchable. >> french security searches -- sources had called the man on catchable -- on catchable. his past the radicalism began in 19 when he traveled to afghanistan. where he lost an eye fighting with al qaeda. returning to algeria in the grip of civil war, he joins a militant armed islamic group the gia, and later the breakaway group for -- the gsp secret when the gsp seamers with al qaeda belmokhtar became known as mr. marlborough because of the lucrative trade he ran in running cigarettes. hostagetaking was a large source of financing his jihad. he was stripped of his status in 2012 when al qaeda leadership accused him of being too autonomous. in the next year a jihadist group known as the masked man brigade. it was in this world that he masterminded two suicide attacks. with an american bounty of $5 million on his head, belmokhtar left a year ago to hide out elsewhere in libya. halla: kurdish fighters are within meters of the border housed by the islamic state group. fierce fighting has sparked a flood of refugees, thousands of whom are prevented from crossing into turkey by turkish security forces. >> exhausted, dehydrated, and no longer able to walk. after days spent under scorching temperatures these syrians are finally able to cross the border into turkey. ankara gave the order last wednesday to close the crossing, and these syrians were stuck here. water cannons were used to disperse the crowds and keep people from climbing over the barb wire fences. these men, women, and children were fleeing nearby fighting between jihadists that control much of the region and kurdish fighters. backed by the u.s.-led airstrikes, the kurdish militia managed to close in on a strategic point of entry for fighters, weapons, and supplies for the islamic state groups. the town is the link between turkey and the jihadist regional stronghold. taking back tall abiyad would be a strategic move. the kurds could become a future threat for turkey, claiming the fighters were turning their guns on local citizens, something the kurds have strongly denied as they continue to chip away at the islamic state group's territory. halla: the un's secretary-general, ban came ki-moon -- even if they do get there, hopes are not high for a deal to end the conflict. the conflict killed more than 2500 people. they

mokhtar belmokhtar, the man behind a massacre. it is time now for a look at the business news, and for more, here is our business editor stephen carroll, at the paris air show. stephen? stephen: good afternoon, halla from the paris air show. you will hear some noise behind me because there are aircraft under way here, one of 40 to take place every day. this is a major event in the airline industry. an event that attracts -- that attracts hundreds of thousands of people, both from the aerospace industry, and also members of the public and aviation enthusiasts. there will be 47 different countries around the world participating. it is the biggest event in the aerospace industry. president obama officially opened the events earlier. we have talked about it over the last months and years. has managed this year to secure its first contract for -- back to egypt and subsequently to qatar and india. that particular project was stressed, with high hopes for its commercial success in the future. not the only coming with high hopes there. all major aircraft manufacturers are hoping to pick up those multimillion and multibillion euro contracts for euro planes. there are two big players for the passenger plane market, airbus and boeing. >> a great deal of the growth will be from the emerging and growing economies for rowing low-cost carriers around the world, but at the same time we will see robust demand to replace older aircraft with new planes and we will see a nice mix of growth as well as replacement. a lot of the replacement will be here in europe. stephen: and of course the issue for the backlog is that an issue for consumers that you worry about? >> there is no question that we look at the market and there is more demand than supply, so we have been increasing production rates to meet that demand in the market. today there is a backlog of almost 14,000 airplanes from all of these oem's here. it is critical we deliver those airplanes to our customers on time and on budget. stephen: two years ago it was all those giant planes in the wide-body market. where is the battleground in a market for you? >> whether it be the 737 max or the a320, those planes are doing extremely well. we have seen new planes, whether from canada or brazil or china. we are really well positioned. our airplane will be flying later this year. i should say flying, delivering rolling out. rolling out of the factory later this year by early next year. stephen: that is randy 10 tinseth from boeing. the canadian playmaker, bombarded your -- bombardier, is here. in advance of the flight, my colleague has been looking more detail at this seafaring jet. >> world, meet the sea series the coming out of bombardier's new passenger plane. they previously focused on business jets and smaller regional aircraft. the cs 100 and its sibling, the 300, is meant to hold 162 300 passengers. it is a market clearly dominated by airbus and boeing. bombardier has been struggling to bring the program off the ground. it is almost $2 billion over budget and 2.5 years behind schedule. still, the passenger air show is said not to be make or break for the plane. >> it is a significant show to be able to talk about products, but for us, sales is a job 365 days a year, and for me the air show is another event. >> before the show in paris, he had orders for just 243 at crash. in the meantime, airbus and boeing have racked up thousands of their rival jets. bombardier shareholders have been wondering about the new c have an series chances as the value of their stocks have plummeted and the development difficulties brought about a management change. the c-series is slated to enter commercial traffic in 2016. the question is whether the plane type look at the

carroll reporting live from the paris air show. we will hear more from stephen here on "france 24." for now, it is time for the press review. you have been taking a look at headlines across the world. there are shocking -- >> it seems there can hardly be anything shocking coming out about the migrant crisis. but the independent newspaper has carried out a poll of 6000 british people. it found that almost half of those questioned said that they thought refugees, especially those coming from syria, should be kept out of the united kingdom. and there is no explanation as to why the -- why those fleeing the civil war in syria are deemed to be less water than others because it is 42% of people against refugees in general, 47% against those fleeing syria. the charity islamic relief has said this is a worrying sign of just how much people's views have changed because just a year ago, a third of those questioned said the u.k. should not be taking in more refugees. that number has grown significant. "the independent" continues reporting about the demonization of muslims, and that that is playing into why these numbers have changed. those polled, one of the most disturbing things is that they were asked what words do you associate with the word "muslim." the most popular answer was " terrorism." quite disturbing about the attitudes of british people. "the guardian" is also talking about the issue of migrants, slightly different take on the tail there. the image shows islamic state fighter forcing people back from the turkish border into syria. many migrants are being stuck in limbo, if you like, in italy because france has tightened its security on the borders. the red cross has set up an emergency cap there on desolate -- an emergency cap there on desolate ground. france and austria and switzerland have tighten security to stop the migrants getting in. halla: the french papers today dominated by an official visit by francois hollande to algeria. what is the significance of this get-together? emma: libercion is looking at algeria as a whole. they think this is a country on the verge of some catastrophic movement. they say hollande is meeting the president at a time when he is weakened because of the country's economy, which relies entirely on oil, and that has staggered, as they put it. inside the newspaper there is a negative tone about this one. the headline says that the algerian system of power is both repressive and robin. there is no successor, they say and he is rapidly changing his image from the status of an ironman two, they say, a strawman. of course, his failing health is something that a lot of people are talking about. many are saying that the french president is making a compassionate visit to a metaphorically sick government. he is 78 years old. you might remember he had a stroke when he was here in paris in 2013. he was reelected in april 2014, but almost in absentia, he just was not seen on the campaign trail. now they said that his mobility is much reduced. he cannot use his arms he does not speak very easily, and his % ' do hope you will join me for an exciting new television series, a unique inquiry into human consciousness itself. now, you're about to see an extraordinary program a studio conversation that you may never forget. so, settle back take a deep breath as we join our trusted guide and host, phil cousineau, on a most memorable episode of "global spirit," the first internal travel series. >> as the author of over two dozen books
