any skepticism among parliamentarians today ahead of the vote. he said this is a vote of solidarity not only with greece but also with members of the eurozone. he and other parliamentarians who spoke his morning in favor -- this morning in favor of extending the bailout said that germany has benefited most strongly from the euro, more than any other country, and that it can only continue if they continue to support other eurozone countries. the critics in the debate this morning said -- some members of the right wing said that this extension was not a solution and that they were just kicking the can down the road by giving greece more time. ultimately, these critics were outvoted and the german parliament has indeed voted to extend the bailout for greece. annette: the vote in berlin comes after police and protesters clashed during antigovernment demonstrations in athens late thursday. it was the first outpouring of antigovernment sentiment since the left wing syriza party came

to power a month ago. >> protesters have clashed numerous lead with police in athens -- clashed numerous times with police in athens over the past couple years. this marks the first time since the series of party came to power a month ago. it was on a small scale. it occurred in a district home to anarchists. there were antiestablishment who threw bombs. police fired flash rounds to disperse the crowd. hundreds took to the streets angry about the government deal to extend the eu program. syriza swept to power on the back of promises of ending austerity, but his critics say it has -- but itsw critics say it has for sake in its premises -- say tit has forsaken its

promises. annette: un security council is set for emergency -- an emergency session today. ukraine says at least three soldiers have been killed and seven others injured in the last 24 hours this despite a shaky truce that was supposed to come into force on february 15, but had only started to take hold in recent days. kiev has been insisting it withdraw -- it began withdrawing heavy weapons. one year after crimea's annexation by moscow from ukraine, the black sea peninsula is struggling with the high cost of living and international isolation. however, most locals say they are still happy to have joined the motherland. reporter: at crimea's parliament

in the capital, the ukrainian flag is long gone. it has been one year since moscow are next -- moscow annexed the black sea peninsula. the separation was widely condemned by the international community. >> of course i'm happy. it is not just me, but lots of people. we are happy that crimea has regained the home port of its native country, russia. now there is no war. reporter: the music plays on. changes both big and small are easy to spot. the russian wrote -- russian ruble is the new currency. tensions have increased -- wages have increased, but so has the cost of living. >> today, this situation scares people. people are afraid to say there are problems.

today, there are still many public institutions where people have not received their wages, especially in the more isolated parts of crimea, but no one would dare testify in front of a camera. reporter: moscow promised to pour billions into development, but so far there has been little money. companies like this accounting firm -- >> it is like a move to another country, like i was a refugee and i started a new life. reporter: she plans to emigrate to poland to start over. she won't speak out against the man responsible. his portrait watches over everything they do, a reminder that crimea is now very much a part of russia. annette: moving on, the united kingdom independence party is holding its spring conference beginning this friday. it is an occasion for the eurosceptic party to boost its

election manifesto. the party has been calling for the u.k. to withdraw from the eu and bring in a strict policy of immigration control. for more on the story let's speak to our correspondent who is covering the conference. what are we expecting from this gathering? reporter: unveil their manifesto. this is a party very much considered to be a one-issue party, anti-immigration and europe. it very much links those two. if britain was able to leave the eu, it would be able to cut immigration. that's the main plan for ukip. what they are trying to do is broaden out their base of support and show that they have more policies. there is a general election coming up in two months, and this is a party trying to position itself in the mainstream.

here on the south coast of england, they are trying to very much shift -- exercise the immigration issues that appeal to the core of voters here. it is no coincidence that we are here, which is where the leader of the party will try to contest in may in the election. they are also trying to step into the mainstream. annette: what exactly are their chances like at the elections in may? how popular are they? lucy: it is very difficult to judge anything about the coming elections. they are too close to call. most estimates say they might expect to get about seats -- about six seats. ukip make it much more than that. there is a lot of disaffection in the country. we had been speaking to ukip

supporters, who say they like not just its stance on immigration and on leaving the eu, but also the general ability to put itself across as a people's party. it's a very popular party. it comes across as not being like westminster products. that's very much what they are pushing. for many people, it is still a party tarnished with racism. just a week ago, a counselor from ukip was forced to step down when she said derogatory comments about black people. that's an image they are very much struggling to shake. annette: lucy fielder, thank you very much. a third alleged accomplice in the copenhagen shootings has been arrested this friday. this coming nearly two weeks after those twin attacks that killed two civilians in the danish capital. police say the man has been charged with complicity. two other alleged accomplices have been in custody since shortly after those attacks.

domestic workers in the city. reporter: she was beaten with mop handles, starved, and held prisoner but, walking on the steps of his hong kong court, the 24-year-old indonesian maid finally got justice. her employer, a hong kong woman was sentenced to six years in prison, convicted on 18 counts including grievous bodily harm assault, criminal intimidation, and failure to pay wages. the judge said that she sewed no compassion toward -- she showed no compassion toward her employee whose ordeal ended in 2014. >> i hope that my case will become a lesson to all employers not to hurt or assault their domestic workers because, after all, we are all human beings. we have the same rights. reporter: it's a case that shed light on the abuse endured by foreign maids in hong kong. campaign groups say that local

laws have failed to protect the more than 300,000 foreign domestic workers living there, mainly from indonesia and the philippines. according to a survey by the missions and migrant workers in 2013 around one in five workers are physically abused and nearly 60% are verbally abused. migrant workers call on the government to do more to protect them. >> -- >> bottom line is, the abuse continues because the policies are [inaudible] reporter: the hong kong government started allowing migrant workers in the 1970's due to a labor shortage. many don't even need their employer -- even meet their employer before signing binding two-year contracts. annette: british graffiti artist banks he is best -- artist banks y has just released a two minute video from war-torn gaza on his website. in the satirical film made in

the style of a tourist promotion, he calls on people divorce -- to voice their support for the palestinians. reporter: banksy's latest video starts as a commercial for new tourist destinations, but quickly turns into a political statement, wrapped as usual and dark humor. the territory the artist crawls into is the gaza strip. in his first treaty drawn in the territory, he turns over watch tower into a merry-go-round. he draws a cat playing with a ball made of debris. a photo of a man crying. ruined neighborhoods. >> three months ago, he came here and painted this one. we helped him. we spoke to him and laughed together. he told us he supports the palestinian people and once to deliver the message of how the palestinian people are suffering to the whole -- and wants to

deliver the message of how the palestinian people are suffering to the whole world. >> there is graffiti denouncing israeli occupation from 2005. this is really news site says, in his latest video, the artist wasn't entirely honest. he shows israeli soldiers, suggesting they were posted in the gaza strip when israelis had evacuated the territory and the soldiers were filmed at a west inc. checkpoint -- west bank checkpoint. annette: time now for a reminder of what's making news this hour. the german parliament has voted yes to extend financial aid to greece by another four months. this after bitter clashes in the streets of athens between police and protesters during antigovernment demonstrations. one year to the day after russian troops and pro-moscow forces began seizing crimea, the

of the german public support the loan extension. german lawmakers were voting on whether the reforms suggested by athens earlier this week go far enough to meet its obligations. the greek government has vowed to fight corruption while trying to fulfill its election pledges to help those most in need and hire more public service workers. the finance minister said the extension was a necessary step to give athens more time, but not necessarily more leeway. >> we have to bring grace into a situation -- bring greece into a situation where financial markets trust greece again. it is called competitiveness. for greece, there is a longer road to go than any other european country. kate: that news has done little to cheer investors. most of the major indices in europe are in negative territory this friday. the cac 40 is about the flat line. the athens stock exchanges down

over 4%. a lot of speculation about whether this loan extension will make the country and the eurozone more stable in the medium-term to long-term. one of the top performers on the cac 40 is airbus, where shares are trading up over 6%. its net income for 2014 was 2.3 billion euros. profits soared 59% while sales rose 5%, despite taking a 551 million euros charge excessive delays on its military transporter -- charge because of delays on its military transporter. >> we have just had the airbus group results. over 2 billion euros in net profit, which is a lot of money. fortunately, the person who is in charge of the money is with me right now. inancial officer harald wilhelm.

all this money you have made what are you going to do with it? >> we invested into our programs. we continue to improve our products. at the same time, we return the cash also to shareholders. that's why the board recommends it today. there will be a step up in the dividend by 50% for 2014, which leads to a record dividend the company is going to pay. >> it is mostly in defense. with security issues in europe and ukraine is there a market potential for the defense industry to pick up? >> i am not counting on it to pick up. it has been stable at 11 billion in 2014. we are cranking up profitability.

we also saw significant portfolio revenue. we started to focus in 2014 on defense, which remains a very healthy business if you look at the various product lines. >> you are far more dependent on your civil side, argue? -- aren't yoyou? >> the growth on the commercial side is excellent. there is tenure production -- is 10-year production. we have potential for more even. so we are very happy about that. the defense business is at a stable level. annette: he was speaking to the chief financial officer of airbus. staying in the skies for a few more business headlines shares got a boost by 20%.

the country's stock markets will hold a special saturday trading session. annette: i've never seen anything like that in the history of covering australian government budgets. kate: india is the place to be for budgets. annette: that is kate moody. coming up now is the press review. welcome back. it is time to take a look at what has been making headlines across the world. flo, the islamic state militant known as jihadi john has finally been identified. florence: several media outlets have identified him, including "the new york times." he is identified as a 26-year-old kuwaiti born british man, mohammed emwazi. let's take a look at the front page of "the garden -- guardian."

let's take a look at some other front pages in the british press. it is a huge story today. "the independent" talks about the unmasking of a british butcher. what do we know about him? there are few details for now but lots of attention. he was raised in west london studied at westminster university. he was a computer programmer well-known for his good manners and this stylish dress. lots of papers are wondering how this young man, the son of a mini cab driver -- how did he become the world's most notorious murderer? "the independent closing -- "the independent" calls him "the sadistic jihadi john." another paper dug into his past and managed to pull out an old school photo of him. he talks about "the angelic schoolboy who turned into an executioner." annette: this has put a spotlight on british security

services. he was arty on the mi5 watchlist. -- he was already on the mi5 watchlist. florence: people are focusing on an episode from 2009, when he was stopped with two friends in tanzania, allegedly en route to safari. he was detained and deported. he flew to amsterdam where he claimed that british intelligence agents from mi5 accused him of trying to go to somalia. he also says they tried to recruit him. you can see "the daily beast" saying if he was on the radar before he went to syria, why did britain let him get away? annette: emwazi's friends are describing him as a polite quiet man, certainly not an individual capable of violence. many are wondering what exactly happened. florence: the washington "the -- "the washington post" says a

disturbingly familiar profile is starting to emerge. a young man who spend -- whose parents immigrated to the west, but he found his security in an extremist ideology. "the independent" talks about the familiar feeling of dread a lost soul who has found himself so disengaged from the country that he prefers to oppose its people and values in the most brutal manner. in its editorial, it says that a religious and cultural chasm is really starting to appear in britain. what is the cause of this? "the independent" points out there is a large dose of free will that leads these people to go fight alongside the islamic state in syria, but it also points the finger at a lack of inclusion of the muslim community in britain. also, the fact that mi5 harassed him. there is a strikingly different opinion in "the daily mail." it says it is mi5's job to

harass those believed to be involved in terrorism. the title is "no region is not to blame for jihadi john." annette: and a profile of afghanistan's first female taxi driver. florence: i thought this might be of interest to you. the story of this woman from afghanistan, believed to be the only active female taxi driver working in afghanistan.
