tiny estonia has a huge problem. reporter: when the weather warms up, karl likes to be outdoors as much as possible. we've met him at the harbor of tallin. the 24-year-old spent eight months in a drug rehabilitation clinic, and he's only been out for a few weeks. >> it started when i was 12. the older boys smoked pot every day, and we wanted to try it too. the older kids got the drugs. at first it was just pot, then came fentanyl. reporter: fentanyl, the synthetic drug that has addicted so many people in estonia, including karl. for years, it was the biggest influence in his life. >> my parents had no idea. my mother noticed i was taking drugs when i was 19 and she found needles under my pillow. she never noticed anything before then. reporter: those dirty needles were also how karl ended up becoming infected with a deadly virus: he's now hiv-positive. fentanyl is a painkiller 80 times stronger than morphine, often prescribed to cancer patients as a patch. it's highly addictive, and its effects are strongest when inj

he went to estonia and poland and germany. and the reason is just kind of big picture, that this has become a ritual for people who are about to or just announced for president to go abroad and stamp their passports and be in positions where they look presidential. and, you know for a lot of people who did it this cycle, it turned out to be a disaster. they messed up and that was the story of the trip. chris christie had a problem, bobby jindal and it went on and on. jeb bush came off of the trip without messing up and unfortunately, that helped determine that it was a success. why he went to estonia and poland in particular let's segue this to his father. he talked very much not just about the private sector as david said the tech industry ways that he would try to get ideas from other countries to help business here but also because of those countries being members of the former soviet block that are doing well now, doing better now that have had a lot of problems obviously, especially over the past half a century. they were

when the ussr fell, estonia regained its freedom, and in 2004, it joined the european union. tallinn has modernized at an astounding rate since the fall of the soviet union. its business district shines with the same glass and steel gleam you'll find in any modern city. yet nearby are the rugged and fully intact medieval walls, and the town within these ramparts has a beautifully preserved old-world ambiance. among medieval cities in the north of europe, none are as well preserved as tallinn. the town hall square was a marketplace through the centuries. its fine old buildings are a reminder that tallinn was once an important medieval trading center. today it's a touristy scene, full of people just having fun. through the season, each midday, cruise-ship groups congest the center as they blitz the town in the care of local guides. like many tourist zones, tallinn's is a commercial gauntlet. here there's a hokey torture museum, strolling russian dolls, medieval theme restaurants complete with touts, and enthusiastic hawkers of ye olde taste treats. woman: [ laughs ] steves: but

we have more on that from chris jansing in estonia. >> reporter: on a rare and warm day in estonia, jeb bush was indoors talking high-tech and loving it. >> this was a really compelling presentation, don't you think? >> reporter: then he headed to the airport and two days of final preparations for the biggest speech of his life on monday, announcing for president. >> reporter: what do you need to get done? >> i need to sharpen the saw. i need to go to mass. i need to be with my grandkids. >> reporter: emotional? mental? >> i need to decompress a little bit on sunday. >> reporter: five days in europe has given a glimpse into jeb bush's style. steady, cautious, wonky, and comfortable in his own skin. >> i'm going to be who i am. i'm not going to change who i am. >> reporter: his trip a dramatic contrast to the huge crowd that greeted then senator barack obama in berlin in 2008. but neither did bush make the kind of headline that played mitt romney abroad. and this year chris christie and scott walker. and bush showed he can look presidential meeting with the leaders of germany estonia and

we need to expand military exercises in estonia and latvia. in the long-term, nato number -- membership and even eu membership is something that we should consider. any short-term, we needed to focus on stopping putin. >> the mainstream american lobby, organizations like aipac would like to maintain the standard that support for israel is a bipartisan measure. ? but with recent changes in policy from the obama administration, as well as moves taken by speaker boehner to invite president netanyahu to speak, members of congress boycotting that past event, many believe that the nature of american support for israel is changing to more of a partisan issue with republicans and democrats. would you speak to that? and if you do believe the nature of support for israel is changing, do you believe it will affect the vote of the american jewish community, which largely votes for democratic candidates upwards of 80%? senator cotton: we would like to see widespread support of israel continued from both parties. a good example would be legislation in the h

john: he will be in germany and estonia and poland over the course of this trip.iously, prudent and russia will be -- could sin and russia will be big --putin and russia will be big topics. what are you looking for him to say about it? richard: ukraine and arming them and so forth. secondly, pressure from nato. and more broadly, how we try to close the gap in capabilities. what is more juicing is how you take a robust line against russia without putting them in isolation. how do you keep open the channels to talk with russia about syria or iran, and at the same time pressure and sanction them over ukraine? that is where gets close to governing. you want to put pressure, but you still have to work with them. john: as a political matter it seems you could not be too hawkish when he comes to putin. are there other issues that we are talking about? richard: in governing, you have to make trade-offs. just as tomorrow we could have to turn to russia to deal with a terrorism issue, let's say, syria, there are more than 1000 people from chechnya in syria. it's possible th

in estonia. >> reporter: the u.s.ut an announcement like that is it's a level of rhetoric associated with nuclear weapons that world leaders have not resorted to for many many many years. and it's not the kind of responsible discussion of nuclear weapons that you expect from a great world leaders. >> reporter: but you don't view that as a threat just rhetoric? >> i take it at his word that he is doing what they said they are doing. what is odd about it is the level of rhetoric. that's what is so out of tune with the times and out of tune with the way responsible world leaders have conducted themselves with respect to talking about what are very, very fierce weapons. >> reporter: carter said there is no sign yet that russia will stop its aggression, but the u.s. does want to work with vladimir putin onnish like counterterrorism and finalizing this nuclear accord with iran. he says the u.s. does not want another cold war. >> margaret brennan in estonia, thanks. >>> interesting to hear the u.s. response after you were ju

margaret brennan is in estonia. >> reporter: u.s. concerned about 40 enter con meantal ballistic missiles. >> what is disturbing about an announcement like that is it's a level of rhetoric associated with nuclear weapons that world leaders have not resorted to for many, many many years. it's not the kind of responsible discussion of nuclear weapons that you expect from great world leaders. >> you don't view that as a threat just rhetoric? >> i take it at his word he's ding what they said they're doing. what's odd about it is the level of rhetoric. that's what's so out of tune with the times and out of tune with the way responsible world leaders have conducted themselves with respect to talking about what are very, very fearsome weapons. >> reporter: carter says there's no sign yet that russia will stop its aggression but the u.s. does want to work with vladimir putin on issues like counterterrorism and finalizing this nuclear accord with iran. norah, he says the u.s. does not want another cold war. >> margaret brennan in estonia, tha

he chosehat's why germany, poland, and estonia.in 2008, barack obama went over there and he had an incredible trip. did he do so well over there but republicans keep stumbling? phil: pictures that the campaign aides would pay millions for when you think about it. what was different between what barack obama did and what candidates have done, mitt romney in london in 2012 when he made fun of the olympics. some republican candidates this year like chris christie and scott walker, it's about preparation and it's about avoiding pitfalls. barack obama's visit to berlin was very controlled. the trips that republicans have taken have not been so. jeb bush is very loose and willing to talk to the press. he has availability scheduled and that is where mistakes can occur. there is going to be a very close eye on anything jeb bush likes to talk about. sad, thatat is so appointment with the precious where mistakes happen. it's not even official. he is already installing a new campaign manager. what's going on internally? never a good sign when

then he will make his way to estonia. the theme you heard from him is that he believes that he and the united states should be much more aggressive and more involved in helping the countries that used to be part of the soviet union beat back on the aggression of vladimir putin. he even called him a bully on this trip. that is a big part of the trip and reason why he is here. there is another reason. to give him and his campaign a reset button, if you will. he has not been able to break-away from the pack. he has not been able to scare other competitors off of the field. that has hurt him unfairly. his last name is bush and the expectation is he would be more ahead of the game at this point. they are hoping this trip will wipe the slate clean. he will be able to go back in just a few hours after he lands back in the united states he will make his announcement official and hit the ground running. that is what we will see from jeb bush over the next several days. not your typical pre-announcement trip. >> dana bash thank you

jeb bush was in estonia last week, before the state announcement.you had a chance to speak with him about ukraine? how do you think having a new person in the white house might change the dynamic? mr. poroshenko: i have experienced speaking with george bush, younger. a lot of time talking about ukraine. mr. poroshenko: i have a lot of communication with the members of the congress, both parties. ukraine is united. we have a strong bipartisan support. is not the approach because he is not -- because -- thist obama is not is the attempt to keep european solidarity with the u.s. and ukraine. ryan: your allies in western europe do not support the idea. mr. poroshenko: from my point of view, the effective mechanism of the sanction, demonstrated by the european union, by the whole world, is also effective method to make -- to create motivation for putin to keep the promises we signed. ryan: let me ask you about those actions. we knew european union is certain to expand sanctions against russia when they meet at the end of next week. we know that the euros

we will continue to see them conduct exercises in estonia and latvia and continue to co nfront russia and to make it abundantly clear that we will not accept the presence of little green a man in nato allies. >> it is clear that we don't have a strategy in syria so with that in mind as a policy maker, have you heard of anyone having a comprehensive strategy there and do you have any thoughts on what to do? senator cotton: the best thing to do is to get a time machine and go back to 2011. not only to go back on the own term -- on that time frame and to look to a sod to stop that and to free the syrian people under in oppressive regime -- an oppressive regime. but today, there are groups that are becoming extremists. there are still plenty of groups who are not extremists. there are often times under resourced and they have taken great casualties. at a minimum, we should be taking the fight to islam it state -- the fight of islamic state to iraq and syria. at a minimum, we shouldn't be letting the islamic state control large swaths of syrian territory, if only because giving them of tha

>> this is one of the things i had heard in estonia three years ago.ation was the difference in retirement age was 10 years. tom: how do they do that? how do spain and lithuania performed a miracle? hans: the argument their political leaders can make our we have to suck it up in europe. spain cannot necessarily be bent over the barrel. spain does get offended by the argument. it is very difficult. the weight you harmonize 16% of greece gdp is in the pension program. everyone wants to bring that down. you make a good point. that is what the eu is about. it is about fiscal transfers. tom: the last word to you. what do you hear on the streets of athens in the last 48 hours? >> i would say that this is a deeply divided country. there are those who want to remain in the eurozone. this country is a paradox at the moment. they want to pay taxes and don't want to pay taxes. they want to stay in the eurozone and don't want to deal with the consequences of that. tom: hans nichols in brussels, guy johnson in athens, thank you to the london team for the great tech

he is in estonia today. back here in the united states the anticipation is building for his presidential announcement. he's been running for months but it all gets official on monday. dana bash traveling with the florida governor. dana joins us now live from estonia. good morning. >> reporter: and john behind me is where jeb bush is right now. he's actually having a meeting with some officials here talking about cyber security. this is the nato cyber security defense center. this is a key place where they are kind of on the forefront of figuring out how the keep all of what we do secure all around the world. this is kind of a prime example of the kind of meeting that he has been having along the way all week long in jurpeurope. talking about things where he can look presidential and comfortable on the world stage. he is well aware of the fact that there have been many a presidential candidate that have come before him that have stepped on some political mine fields while aabroad. the fact of the matter is in

we talk about poland estonia, germany. would take a hard line with vladimir putin. this is a way he can burnish his foreign policy credentials. this is not his first time abroad so he does come into it with sort of a stronger base of knowledge than people like scott walker or even someone like chris christie. >> he's going to keep a low profile, unlike obama did. is that by choice? >> that's by design. one, they've got a big campaign roll-out next week. that's what they're focused on. he's going to officially become a candidate date. they they don't want to step all over that or do anything that could lead to a gaffe. they don't want to be in front of the press a lot. the other reason is that bush knows that his brother george w. bush wasn't very popular in europe. he knows he can't pull off a huge rally like obama did in 2008. he's playing it safe. he wants to check this off. it's a good thing to do. every candidate should go to europe and shake hands and meet people and maybe learn a few things. and that's it. >> he's al

the former florida governor testing out his foreign policy chops with visit to germany poland and estonia. a region that was not too fond of his brother's policies. we're live in berlin. >> reporter: he's expected to speak in about four hours. she's he's going to be speaking to the christian democrats. it's not clear if angela merkel will be having a one on one meeting with jeb bush at this point. the focal point of his speech we understand is urging tougher action on vladimir putin, on russia's aggression in ukraine. ukraine must be permitted to choose its own path. that may be all well and good for politicians here but if you ask the average berlin resident they don't have any idea really who jeb bush is. they just associate him with his brother and the iraq war, which is perhaps not an association his campaign was hoping for here. >> all right. i mean that's why you grab the suds you walk around and shake some hands and get some attention. >>> here's a little one for you literally. little piggies who had to run for their lives. what happened? here's what happened. 2200 baby pigs were o

. >> equipment will be sent to bulgaria estonia latvia, poland and romania. >> we just had an informativesession with the ministers, and unfortunately we had to spend time talking about russia's recent attempts to turn back the clock in europe. especially here in the baltic region. we each agreed while we don't seek a cold let alone a hot war in russia, we will defend our allies. >> part of a new round of talks to end are a crisis that has increased in violence. it has killed 6400 people since last year. >> a debt deal with greece could be reached in days. it will include new tax force wealthy greeks as well ending early retirement. we have reports from athens of how that's being received by greece. >> they don't like it. leaked documents suggest that thethat they're prepared to take $800 million more. workers face higher taxes that makes the politics of a greek deal very complicated at home. the latest roams have been divided by the lawmakers. they don't want to pass more austerity measures. >> likely to scuttle party unity if he gets a whiff of bolsterty in whatever wind his government

i think you'll see him veer away, he just came back from a from trip to estonia the fact that he was governor of a big state, one of the biggest in the country. he's going to focus on that record but he will not invoke his brother to an extent his father but not his brother's record in the white house. >> by the way are michael shure will join us at 3:00. michael thank you.is across seattle washington a group of activists have now been arrested trying to block the shell oil rig. the polar pioneer is heading up the coast. and dozens of protesters on kayaks swarmed the rig. at least 13 people have been arrested. tanya moseley tell us more about today's protest. >> reporter: well, today word spread fast among those protesters that this drill would be leaving the port this morning. they arrived very early 4:00, 5:00 this morning, they tried to stop this polar pioneer from leaving the port. they were all detaind and detained and find. he sent a letter to president obama and state and city officials and asked there be an investigation and halting to this effort. i can tell you that these p

a little known fact, maryland actually has had a national guard mission to estonia for some 20 years or more for nato membership. estonia met with their head of state and also two of the nato -- and also toward the nato center for excellence. it is one of the few countries that has suffered a full-scale cyber attack and they shut down. that didn't stop them from using technology. instead they upped their defenses. they became more proficient and better equipped. get this. they actually vote online. that is how secure they have been able to make their country. this is not the cold war anymore where we were facing opponents that were totally adversarial in every round. there are shifting issues different interests and , different alliances. we have to be adaptable and flexible, even as we are firm and understanding our commitments to allies and put in place as we have now with allies that sanctions that show russia that they have a choice to make. they could either harm the economy by harming nations around them, or they could respect the international norms and have a better quality o

he will visit germany, poland and estonia. let's talk about it with chris moody.re. you look at this trip in the context of sort of the importance of someone who is about to launch officially on to the national stage on june 15th as a republican presidential candidate. why is he making the trip? >> well one of the major questions for anyone running for president is can this person keep me safe and what do they know about foreign policy? it will be a major part of debate and discussion. senators who are running and there are many get to sit on committees like the foreign committee or the armed services committee gives them real experience. they get to travel arnt world. and really understand these issues. secretary of state hillary clinton as a presidential candidate also has a lot of foreign policy experience. but the candidates who are usually lacking are the governors and this is a case where jeb bush and other governors like scott walker will have to do a little bit of traveling and prove themselves on foreign policy, maybe take a listening tour and come back a
