Donald Trump has called off a rally in Chicago

Donald Trump has called off a rally in Chicago.A Donald Trump rally in Chicago had to be called off among scenes of violence and chaos unparalleled in the recent history of American political campaigning.

 Hundreds of protesters assembled at the venue at the University of Illinois at Chicago hours before Mr Trump was due. “MrTrump just arrived in Chicago and after meeting with law enforcement has determined that for the safety of all of the tens of thousands of people that have gathered in and around the arena, tonight’s rally will be postponed to another date” said statement issued by his campaign.

 Before the rally was even due to start, the scene for the evening was set as protesters inside the pavilion vented their opposition to the presidential candidate’s positions on immigration, race and other issues where his rhetoric has proven divisive.

 The clashes began more than an hour before the event was due to start, and continued after it was cancelled, minutes after Mr Trump was to have appeared. One protester, student Ali Alhechimi told the Chicago Sun-Times newspaper: "This is a victory. This is an absolute victory.

 I want to thank everyone who showed up." "I represent a large group of people that have a lot of anger," he said. "There is tremendous anger out there on both sides" said Mr Trump.

International Energy Agency said Oil price may have shift

The International Energy Agency (IEA) has said oil prices are stabilising and could even begin to rise again now sees signs that the market may be balancing quicker than previously thought. The west’s energy adviser said: "Oil prices may have “bottomed out”.

 Oil prices have plummeted 70% since June 2014, falling as low as $27 per barrel earlier this year. The IEA said in a monthly report after a spectacular 2015, growth in global demand was slowing - with India and the Middle East being rare pockets of improvement.

 The IEA, which coordinates energy policies of industrialised nations, said it now believed non-Opec output would fall by 750,000 barrels per day (bpd) in 2016, compared with its previous estimate of 600,000 bpd. The IEA said: "Meanwhile, Iran’s return to the market has been less dramatic than the Iranians said it would be; in February we believe that production increased by 220,000 bpd and, provisionally, it appears that Iran’s return will be gradual."

Though the IEA still expects supplies to continue to outstrip demand until 2017, the agency now sees lower prices having a bigger effect on US shale companies. China, the world's second-biggest source of demand, will see growth of only 330,000 bpd this year, well below the 10-year average of 440,000 bpd. "For prices, there may be light at the end of what has been a long, dark tunnel, but we cannot be precisely sure when in 2017 the oil market will achieve the much-desired balance. It is clear that the current direction of travel is the correct one, although with a long way to go," the IEA added.

Three people injured in Texas explosion at Petrobras refinery

3 person have been injured in a fire at an oil refinery in Pasadena, Texas.

The blaze started when a generator exploded and was later contained by firefighters.
The company said that one person was burned when a unit that makes diesel ruptured on Saturday morning in a ground-shaking blast at the Pasadena, Texas, refinery owned by Brazil's national oil company Petrobras.
"The fire has been contained and the facility is in a safe condition," the company said. "Authorities have been notified and are supporting the response. Air monitoring has been conducted by Pasadena Refining and Harris County Pollution Control, with no indications of any off-site impacts."
The explosion caused extensive damage to a 35,000 bpd light cycle oil hydrotreater, also called a hydrogen desulfurization unit, which uses hydrogen to convert the oil into diesel and remove sulfur, the sources said.
