US President Donald Trump has been safely evacuated following a shooting incident at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, DC.

Gunfire erupted near a security checkpoint at the Washington Hilton, triggering panic among thousands of attendees, including senior government officials, media and guests. Secret Service agents responded immediately, securing the venue and removing the President and key officials from the scene.

Authorities confirmed a suspect, reportedly armed with multiple weapons, was apprehended at the scene. One law enforcement officer was injured but protected by body armour, with no fatalities reported.

The annual event was cancelled as investigations began into what is being treated as a serious security breach and potential assassination attempt. This marks the latest in a series of threats faced by Trump in recent years.

World leaders have condemned the incident, reinforcing concerns around rising political violence and the safety of public figures on the global stage.

Further updates expected as investigations continue.

Man admits religiously aggravated r**e of Sikh woman in Walsall, UK

A man has pleaded guilty to the religiously aggravated r**e of a Sikh woman in her home in Walsall after facing verbal abuse in the dock on the second day of his trial.

The hearing for John Ashby, 32, of no fixed address, began at Birmingham Crown Court on Monday.

He had denied the charges against him, but on Tuesday admitted he was responsible for the attack in October 2025. He asked to speak to his barrister about an hour after proceedings were interrupted by a member of the public who approached the dock and swore at the accused.

The outburst came after Ashby started mumbling during the Crown's evidence over the attack - violence during which he hit his victim, a stranger, with a stick.

Ashby was arrested in the Perry Barr area of Birmingham two days after he struck.

It began when he followed the woman as she got off a bus and, unbeknownst to her, entered her property armed with the stick which he had picked up from the ground.

At the opening of the case, the jury heard how on hearing a noise inside her home, the woman tried to lock herself in her bathroom, but Ashby barged his way in and went on to r**e her.

"Once inside the bathroom he turned the light off, telling her that he was 'here to have fun'," prosecutor Phil Bradley KC told the jury.

The court heard that during her ordeal, Ashby subjected his victim to a tirade of anti-Muslim abuse, wrongly believing her to be of that faith.

"Despite her screams, he told her to take her clothes off, he struck her with the stick, and he put his hands around her neck to strangle her and demanded that she climb into the bathtub," Bradley said.

The court heard that Ashby told the woman his name was John and demanded she repeat "his mantra that he was the 'master'."

Honouring a Legacy, Dippa Dosanjh Bids Final Farewell to UK Bhangra

A defining voice of British Asian Bhangra music, Dippa Satrang was instrumental in shaping the sound of 1990s Bhangra and helping take the culture from community halls to mainstream recognition. His music became the soundtrack to a generation, bridging heritage and modern identity for the UK Punjabi diaspora.

He rose to prominence with timeless hits such as “Dhola Ve Dhola”, a track that continues to resonate across dancefloors, weddings, and cultural celebrations to this day. His powerful, emotive vocals and unmistakable tone made him one of the most recognisable and respected singers of his era.

Beyond his solo success, Dippa was a key figure within the iconic Satrang movement and contributed to influential projects such as the Death Jamm album series, collaborating with major names including the late Balwinder Safri. His work not only defined an era but helped lay the foundations for the global Bhangra sound we see today.

Known for his authenticity and connection to the culture, Dippa Satrang was more than just an artist, he was part of the heartbeat of UK Bhangra. His influence can be heard across generations of artists who followed, many of whom credit him as an inspiration in their own musical journeys.

Today, as family, friends, fans, and the wider music community come together to say their final goodbyes, there is a profound sense of loss across the industry. His legacy, however, lives on through the music, the memories, and the movement he helped build.

At BritAsia TV, we extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, loved ones, and all those mourning this loss.

Rest in peace to a true UK Bhangra legend.
