herman cain's presidential campaign. another woman is saying he harassed her in the 1990s. and invited her to his apartment. the cain campaign says it is just one more baseless claim. jan crawford has more. >> reporter: everywhere he went, even on capitol hill, the reporters were focused on the allegations of sexual harassment against him. >> can't she tell her side of the story, mr. cain. >> reporter: in virginia, he indicated his patience is wearing then. >> let me say one thing. i am here with these doctors and that is what i'm going to talk about, so don't even bother asking me all of these other questions that y'all are curious about, okay? don't even bother. >> reporter: when the reporter persisted, cain was forceful. >> what did i say? excuse me! excuse me! i don't believe it has hurt my campaign at all.

>> reporter: cain is set for numerous interviews since the story broke three days ago. he said again today it was a calculated smear campaign. >> there's a force at work here that is much greater than those would try to destroy me and destroy this campaign and this journey to the white house and that force is called the voice of the people. that's why we are doing as well as we are in this campaign thus far. y'all was supposed to applaud. >> reporter: but chris wilson, a polster for the restaurant association during cain's tenure, told an oklahoma radio station he saw cain harass a young staffer. >> i was actually around a couple times when this happened and it just -- anyone who was involved with the restaurant association at the time knew that this was going to come up. >> reporter: wilson has recently done polling for a political group backing texas governor rick perry. jan crawford, cbs news,

washington. >> cain's campaign says the sexual harassment allegations are smear tactics orchestrated by the rick perry campaign. >> the actions of the perry campaign are despicable. rick perry and his campaign aalowe herman cain and his family an jooi. >> reporter: perry's campaign calls the claim reckless and falls. now to the anti-wall street protest and the demonstration in oakland, california thark shut down this country's fifth busiest port. there was more violence overnight as protesters clashed with police. late last night, demonstrators were back in the oakland city center and followed the port protests where several thousand people forced operations to halt. tonight is not the first time there has been violence during the occupy-oakland protests.

kpix has more on that j. >> reporter: these are the signs. they have no name but the havoc they unleashed does. it's called black block. they have been slipping into peaceful mass demonstrations since the late '90s and their look is always the same. chopper 5 captured them hurling outdoor dining tables and chairs into the street and ultimately into the windows of the upscale grocery chain with customers still inside. but peaceful protesters literally put their bodies on the line forming a human chain to block black block actions. >> this is not sanctioned by the occupy oakland movement. it's not what it's about. this is not what it's about. >> reporter: unmoved by calls for calm, they ran for the bank of america at kaiser center and it was feared they had fired into the bank's lobby. instead, this devastation was the work of hammers and force, shattering every seven-foot tall

pane of glass that makes up the bank's wall. >> we are aware of people that are bent on causing problems. we are going to be taking steps to address those problems. >> reporter: it's already happening. believing they were hid in black, cbs news has learned officers in plain clothes infiltrated the crowd and documenting the anarchists that totaled 60 to 70 people. devastation may be black block's sign, but this was a sign left by the 99%. robert lyles, cbs 5. president obama is in france this morning for the g-20 economic summit. the meeting of the world's 20 richest nations will be dominated by a concern about europe's shaky economy and its currency, the euro. it's a huge problem and at its heart, a small country, greece. susan mcginnis is in washington with the latest on this. boy, susan, this is a mess. >> reporter: it certainly it. good morning, betty. president obama and world leaders are gathering in france right now fully recognizing that this referendum could mean that

greece exits the euro, leaves the european cur at this bank at

wednesday. at another bank they tried to disinfect it. now with the u.s. offering no funding for this crisis, while china actually might contribute, there is some talk that president obama is heading to the summit in a position of weakness, but, betty, the white house just keeps saying this is a european problem that requires a european solution. >> all right. susan mcginnis in washington for us, thank you. it is reported this morning, the united states is considering
