Obama reports for jury duty in Chicago and is dismisse

Former US President Barack Obama has turned up for jury duty at a Chicago courthouse, but was dismissed by the judge without being called on to serve.
Crowds thronged the Daley Center municipal building to catch a glimpse of the 44th US president, who has a home in the Illinois city.
Mr Obama left his home at 09:30 local time (14:30 GMT) on Wednesday and left at around midday.
Each potential juror receives a $17.20 (£13.11) cheque from the county.
