I am Asieh Namdar at the CNN Center in Atlanta. Here's a look at what's happening NOW IN THE NEWS.
A huge clean-up is under way right now in downtown Atlanta. A storm and a tornado 1 ripped through the heart of the city last night. No word on any deaths, but there are dozens of injuries and plenty of destruction. Several homes and high-rises all sustained some damage.
A series of explosions at an Albanian army ammunition 2 dump has killed at least four people and injured dozens more. The blasts are still going off at the camp and Albania's Prime Minister fears there may be many more dead.
In Iran, partial election returns show the Conservatives have a healthy 71% of the vote, but reformists are hanging on a few seats as well even though most of their candidates were disqualified from the ballot 3.
Chinese sports fans are getting an introduction to a great American pastime. The first ever Major League Baseball game on Chinese soil was held earlier toady 4 in Beijing. It featured the Los Angeles Dodgers 5 and the San Diego Padres.
And those are the headlines this hour. For more on these stories and other news of the day, CNN is your source online, on TV or when you are on the go.
