their homes because of the many aftershocks. we experienced one shortly after our arrival today. it was a 6.7 aftershock that lastsed about a minute. suddenly the building started moving. the airport officials ran away. the police went to find safer cover. we did as well. but then just a few minutes later it was back to business as usual, although with this fear that you could have more aftershocks or even another major quake. and that's why so many people are living here. the same is also true for foreigners. there are not that many major hotels in the city. but the ones that are here that cater to foreign tourists are running in a state of semievacuation. they aren't allowing people to go into their rooms, but they could stay in the lobby spaces and use the bathrooms. the foreign tourists who are

october. this isn't the first time the president has been hacked. in the 2008 election hackers broke into then senator obama and senator mccain's e-mail systems. one official telling me hackers try to break into the computer systems here at the white house almost every day. and countering that threat is an ongoing and pressing challenge. >> thank you. tensions are reaching a breaking point in baltimore with demonstrations turning violent overnight and at least a dozen arrests. fans even forced to stay inside the ballpark at camden yards while the violence outside raged. tom costello with the very latest. >> reporter: in the streets of downtown baltimore violent clashes with police late saturday as demonstrators blocked intersections, smashed car windows and store fronts.
