USA: Donald Trump's Chicago campaign cancelled due to riots...

Protesters at Donald Trump's first Chicago campaign rally were so numerous on Friday that they shut the event down following loud demonstrations and a series of physical brawls.

Fistfights broke out inside the University of Illinois at Chicago Pavilion between an anti-Trump mob and Chicagoans who came to hear the Republican front-runner speak.

Outside, an impatient group of thousands more massed. Temperatures rose.

Multiple law enforcement sources told DailyMail.com that there was a credible threat against Trump from groups of protesters who planned to storm the stage.

They intended to swarm to the front of the crowd at an agreed-upon signal, a Secret Service agent said his agency believed, converging on Trump's podium from different directions all at once.

Trump himself ultimately called it off. 

'Nobody was hurt and hopefully we can keep that going. That's why I did this today: we don't want anyone to get hurt, or worse.'

Asked what he would tell the protesters who seem to hate him so much, Trump said America needed an influx of jobs – especially for African-Americans whose unemployment rate is as high as 59 per cent.

'You have to bring back jobs! I'd be angry too,' he said. 'We have to bring jobs back. These kids are not getting jobs.'

Chris Matthews asked Trump why he mocked a protester earlier, telling him to go get a job. Trump said:

‘He was a very nasty guy, he was very very loud, very boisterous and he was swinging his fists. He just looked to me like somebody that frankly… Maybe he did have a job maybe he did not. But there’s nothing wrong with saying go get a job, but the fact is it’s not easy to get jobs.’

‘He was mad long before I said that. He was jumping up and down, he could have been dangerous.’

‘Some of these protesters are very dangerous people.’

The real estate tycoon predicted that fallout from Friday's clashes wouldn't hurt his White House bid.

'You can't even have a rally in this country anymore without violence,' Trump lamented. 'I think a lot of people think that it was wrong that we were stopped.'

'We can't have a rally in a major city in this country!' he complained. 'What happened to the right to free speech?'

There were pro Trump supporters at the venue as well.

FUNNY PIC

DOPING IN TENNIS: Maria Sharapova failed drugs test at Australian Open

Former world number one Maria Sharapova, 28, revealed today March 7th that she failed a drugs test at the Australian Open. The five-time Grand Slam champion tested positive for meldonium, a substance she says she has been taking since 2006 for health issues.

"I did fail the test and take full responsibility for it. For the past 10 years I have been given a medicine called mildronate by my family doctor and a few days ago after I received a letter from the ITF [International Tennis Federation] I found out it also has another name of meldonium, which I did not know."

"It is very important for you to understand that for 10 years this medicine was not on Wada's banned list and I had been legally taking that medicine for the past 10 years. But on 1 January the rules had changed and meldonium became a prohibited substance, which I had not known. I received an email on 22 December from Wada about the changes happening to the banned list and you can see prohibited items - and I didn't click on that link."

"I made a huge mistake. I have let my fans down, and let the sport down that I have been playing since the age of four that I love so deeply.

"I know that with this I face consequences and I don't want to end my career this way. I really hope to be given another chance to play this game."

"I know many of you thought that I would be retiring today but if I was ever going to announce my retirement it would not be in a downtown Los Angeles hotel with this fairly ugly carpet," she said.

The Russian beauty was charged on March 2nd. She is officially suspended pending further action.

Leicester City players are stopped from entering club by bouncers, but Tottenham players are allowed in

This is the moment where Leicester City players, top of the English premier league table with 9 games to go, were humbly brought down to earth by bouncers who didn't allow the title chasing players enter into the exclusive Mayfair club Drama to celebrate Danny Drinkwater’s 26th birthday.

Following the game where Leicester beat Watford to go 5 points clear at the top of the Epl table, Danny Drinkwater, Andy King, Matty James and Ben Hamer tried to go to the club to celebrate Drinkwater’s birthday but the bouncers and club security were left unimpressed and refused the stars entry, refusing to believe they were football 'stars'.

And, as the four of them tried to talk security around and make phone calls, they were left red-faced as Tottenham players Hugo Lloris, Eric Dier and Nacer Chadli entered without problem. After waiting tirelessly they left the club's entrance to go home.
