steves: a selection of ferries make the 50-mile crossing between helsinki and tallinn nearly hourly.because of the ease of this delightful two-hour cruise and the variety a quick trip over to estonia adds to your nordic travels, pairing helsinki and tallinn is a natural. stepping off the boat in tallinn, the capital of estonia, you feel you've traveled a long way culturally from finland. its a mix of east and west. tallinn's nordic lutheran culture and language connect it with stockholm and helsinki, but two centuries of czarist russian rule and nearly 50 years as part of the soviet union have blended in a distinctly russian flavor. fins and estonians share a similar history. first, swedish domination, then russian. then independence after world war i. until 1940, the estonians were about as affluent as the fins, but then estonia was gobbled up by an expanding soviet empire and spent the decades after world war ii under communism. 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

craig: he is an amazingly bright as a college student in helsinki, finland, created a scratch,ot quite from but with the help of other people, and what he did was revolutionary. he called it open source. he did the first 100 things you needed to do right to make an operating system work, and then he said ok, world, send me your improvements and updates. the world did. hundreds of thousands of computer developers eventually were involved in creating this operating system. inreleased it to the public 1991 with about 10,000 lines of code. , and there are 19 million lines of code. he didn't write all of that. hundreds of thousands of people wrote all of that, but he threw all the years has managed this growth. it's kind of an amazing story. that atoperating system once manages to be very fast, very flexible. computerss can run -- can run on years for linux. millions of computers do. and it's free. in the end, it's a community project. it's frankly one of the most amazing stories in the history of the internet. the issue i see in that story is years,ter all of these there has been a persist

>> guest: so he's this amazingly bright guy who, as a college student in helsinki, finland, created an operating system not quite from scratch. he built off the work of some other people. but the thing that he did that was really revolutionary is he made it available to anyone who wanted it. it's a developed model called open source. so he did, you know, the first, i don't know, hundred things you needed to do right to make an operating system work, and then he basically said to the world, okay world, send me your improvements and your updates to this thing, and the world did to the point where hundreds of thousands of computer developers eventually were involved in creating this operating system. so he releases it to the public in 1991. there's about 10,000 lines of code. here we are, it's 2015, so 24 years later, and now there's 19 million lines of code. he didn't write all of that, the hundreds of thousands of people wrote that. but he over all of these years has managed this growth. it's really kind of an amazing story, and what they've produced is an operating system that manages

"but i am going to miss votes, i'm running for president." but he's been missing votes for a long time. "one third of all of his missed votes in 2015 were missed before he announced he was running for president." over the last three years, marco rubio has misse

he covered six world series and all of the major bowl games including 14 orange bowls from helsinki to9 and that was when espn first went on the air and that was him doing the sports on the old wtop before it was t.o.p. the anchor on that show, by the way, was/ named walter cronkite. here now it gets personal. i had the distinct honor of sitting next to jim when he did the sports here on the very first shows i anchored at wrc. i was in awe of that guy. among other reasons, he never used a script. he would walk into the studio with nothing in his hand, only then cyclopedic knowledge of all of the sporting games and he would do a flawless show. jim simpson was a bad dude and magnificent. he was 88 when he died. >>> still ahead, a senator from the midwest helping to investigate local crimes. why he's showing so much interest in solving cases in our area. >>> we know where the winning tickets are sold, but we still don't know who bought them. coming up, a live report amid the powerball mystery, but first -- come on, doug. >> your commute tomorrow morning and 7:00 to 9:00, partly cloudy, 37

>> i had the greek finance minister in helsinki last week and i bumped into the prime minister of greeceou look a year back or even half a year back, there is more confidence. the third program is in progress and they're looking on the third review. pension push it on reform or privatization but things are looking much better now than they were. >> it seems like last year we spent a lot of time on the review at the time. are you worried this summer we will spend a waste of time on the completion of where they are at? >> i am not too worried about it. one year back into davos, the government was just in and they were anti-austerity, anti-imf. then we had half a year of basic mayhem and chaos. in july we were at the crossroads and now reviews of those building blocks. they have had elections of the political situation is much more stable in greece. things are much better than last year. means by -- that definition that the greeks will have convinced the rest of us that they said they will. hans: i'm glad we talked about lagardestop does madame have finland's vote? >> definitely, but it is

china for the reunification also to put more pressure on china and i agree with my colleagues at helsinki is miserable on this issue and she may agree. but the chinese seek to weaken the u.s. alliances trying to deal with north korea problem to have a bigger strategy with the chinese and perhaps give the reassurances that the congressman was talking about earlier to have very unified peninsula unnecessarily don't have troops on the border as the chinese are concerned that situation could be far more detrimental to day then in the future. there is the issue to give china credit for the very small steps it takes to support the u.n. security council resolution for economic sanctions. because the united states wants to isolate north korea that is a valuable coal. yes. but at the same time we should be be putting far greater pressure to do more. , they see us as having putting this to have little incentive as a tax priorities. >> the chinese are doing a delicate dance with their economy. at the end of the day that serves a purpose to have of north korea remains a totalitarian. that is what the

the helsinki final act signed by the soviet union recognized the borders in europe and no territorialchanges by force, all of which russia has violated. so we are determined to keep the pressure on russia and in policy making -- and this is something jim knows very well, we often if not usually overestimate what we can achieve in the short run. we usually underestimate what we can achieve in the long run. i remember year after year being laughed at by various governments and some university professors because the united states adhered to a non-recognition of the soviet occupation in the baltics. "oh, get over it, be realistic" we were told. year after year. sometimes the higher realism is to hold to your principles. that's the higher realism. not if realism that recognizes power as its own anointment. >> thank you for coming out, mr. fried, happy new year, i'm a freshman at the school of public affairs and i have a question in regard to the u.n. c.l.o.s. and recent events with china creating islands in oceans and manipulating the seas around them. how can we use sanctions to deter the

it happened in cologne, helsinki, hamburg, is that representative of the muslim faith or was there somethingre? >> absolutely not. thank you so much for having me. the actions committed by some of these people have nothing to do with islam. if they were being good practicing muslims they wouldn't be assaulting women a causing so much atrocities. we're standing in solidarity with german law enforcement and hope that justice will be done. charles: with all due respect. how do you account for so far 600 criminal complaints in an area we're told is sort of like the size of times square, where all of these women, even a couple of allegations of actual rape, if it's not about the religion, what is it about? because it involved a lot of men of muslim backgrounds and north african backgrounds. >> it's a lot of frustration, but if they were following islamic law there were be sanctions. that penalty is a sanction punishment for rape and sexual assault. they cannot harm a woman sacredness and honor. muslims cannot commit such crimes. if they read the koran on follow, it's completely not islamic behavi
