A star of the reality show Shark Tank has been criticized for touching a female CNN guest in an awkward moment.
'Native Land Pod' host Angela Rye was engaging in a roundtable discussion on ' NewsNight ' on Wednesday (20 March) when billionaire investor Kevin O'Leary interjected, appearing to touch her arm.
'You don't have to touch me,' Rye told O'Leary before continuing.
'I did that nicely,' O'Leary responded.
'I don't want you to touch me, that's my personal space,' Rye fired back.
'I won't ever do it again,' the Shark Tank star said before Rye shifted back to her debate.

Popular Tai Hang dai pai dong Bing Kee Cha Dong has closed until further notice
Say it isn't so! Bing Kee Cha Dong – an iconic dai pai dong in Tai Han g – announced on its Instagram account last weekend that it is 'taking a long holiday' indefinitely due to staff shortage and lack of manpower. Loved by Hongkongers and tourists alike, the old-school, tin-roofed dai pai dong has been in operation for more than half a century, and is frequently listed in Hong Kong travel guides as a foodie destination, growing its appeal as a social media 'check-in' spot. Bing Kee has a long history stretching all the way back to the 1950s. It first appeared on the scene as a bakery specialising in traditional Chinese pastries before transitioning into a casual dai pai dong serving local, down-to-earth diner fare. Bing Kee's claim to fame is its authentic Hong Kong-style milk tea – it was even ranked by CNN as one of the top four spots in the city for the classic beverage – and the eatery is also notable for its pork chop noodles, Hong Kong-style French toast, and corned beef and egg sandwiches. Hong Kong superstar Eason Chan has been spotted dining at this no-frills diner on Shepherd Street multiple times, and Bing Kee has even been featured on the silver screen in Hong Kong comedy The Romancing Star 2 and mainland Chinese drama The First Frost. Open-air food stalls like Bing Kee are a dying breed in Hong Kong these days, but there are still a handful of them kicking around, including Sing Kee on Stanley Street, Sing Heung Yuen on Mei Lun Street, and Yuk Yip Dessert on Elgin Street, all in Central. If you're keen to venture deeper into the heart of Kowloon, Oi Man Sang in Sham Shui Po is a must-visit for its killer wok hei aromas and irresistible salt-and-pepper squid dish. Fingers crossed that Bing Kee will return from its 'hiatus' sooner rather than later!

The AI future is too scary even for James Cameron. Where can the Terminator franchise go from here?
James Cameron has a confession: he can't write Terminator 7. And it's not because Hollywood won't let him, as he's too busy making the new Avatar – it's because reality keeps nicking his plotlines. 'I'm at a point right now where I have a hard time writing science-fiction,' Cameron told CNN this week. 'I'm tasked with writing a new Terminator story [but] I don't know what to say that won't be overtaken by real events. We are living in a science-fiction age right now.' It's an understandable quandary for the veteran film-maker. Back in 1984, when the first Terminator movie came out, there was genuine shock value in the idea of a killer robot travelling through time from a future in which the wretched dregs of humanity survive in a chrome-plated hellscape dominated by their robot overlords. These days, the only far-fetched part of the movie is the bit where the T-800 turns up alone and completely naked, as opposed to arriving flanked by a swarm of AI-guided drones. We may not have achieved time travel just yet, but we do have artificial intelligences capable of quietly teaching themselves sarcasm, city-wide facial recognition, and robot learning systems deciding who lives and dies. That's the heart of Cameron's problem: in 1984, Skynet was a terrifying piece of speculative fiction. In 2025, it's basically LinkedIn with nukes. The creeping dread of AI isn't a future shock any more; it's the news cycle. From AI-powered spyware in our pockets to deepfake scams and voice-mimicking chatbots, the Terminator franchise no longer has the monopoly on making you want to hurl your hi-tech personal possessions into the sea. Cameron seems to be caught between a rock and a hard place here, especially as this grand old sci-fi saga hasn't exactly been blowing anyone's CPU in well … decades. Terminator: Dark Fate, which the saga's creator at least had a basic hand in developing, struggled at the 2019 box office despite the return of Linda Hamilton and a storyline that tried to mix the franchise's classic 'unstoppable hunter' formula with a reunion tour for its surviving stars. Before that, we have to go all the way back to 1991's Terminator 2: Judgment Day to find a film that audiences really warmed to. The wilderness years between those two movies were littered with sequels that were too bleak, or too daft. What Cameron should be looking for is a complete system reboot to reinvigorate the saga in the way Prey brought fans back to Predator and Alien: Romulus restored interest in slimy Xenomorphs. All evidence suggests that the 70-year-old film-maker is far more interested in the current challenges surrounding AI, superintelligences and humankind's constant efforts to destroy itself, which doesn't exactly lend itself to the sort of back-to-basics, relentless-monsters-hunt-a-few-unlucky-humans-for-two-hours approach that has worked elsewhere. The challenge here seems to be to fuse Terminator's core DNA – unstoppable cyborgs, explosive chase sequences, and Sarah Connor-level defiance – with the occasionally rather more prosaic yet equally scary existential anxieties of 21st-century AI doom-mongering. So we may get Terminator 7: Kill List, in which a single, battered freedom fighter is hunted across a decimated city by a T-800 running a predictive policing algorithm that knows her next move before she does. Or T7: Singularity's Mom, in which a lone Sarah Connor-type must protect a teenage coder whose chatbot will one day evolve into Skynet. Or Terminator 7: Terms and Conditions, in which humanity's downfall comes not from nuclear warfare but from everyone absent-mindedly agreeing to Skynet's new privacy policy, triggering an army of leather-clad enforcers to collect on the fine print. Or perhaps the future just looks terrifying enough without Cameron getting involved – which, rather worryingly for the future of the franchise, seems to be the director's essential point. Then again, if anyone can make the apocalypse feel even worse than it already does, it's the man who previously convinced us that autonomous drones would hunt humans from the sky and that machines would learn to think and kill for themselves. We should have confidence he can do it again.

Sarah Ferguson's five-word code to friends to show true feelings about Prince Andrew
Royal author Andrew Lownie has made a number of claims about Prince Andrew in his new unauthorised biography, including the phrase his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson used to describe the state of their relationship A Royal biographer has claimed that Sarah Ferguson employed a cryptic five-word phrase to signal to her friends that her marriage to Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, was nearly at an end. In his latest work 'Entitled: The Rise And Fall Of The House Of York', Andrew Lownie examines the journey of one of the Royal Family's most controversial figures. Despite withdrawing from Royal duties in 2019 after his disastrous Newsnight appearance, where he discussed his friendship with late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Andrew has continued to face mounting controversies. Fears are growing that matters could deteriorate further with the publication of Mr Lownie's unauthorised biography of the 65-year-old. Alongside his royal career, the book explores Andrew's decade-long marriage with Sarah and reveals the coded language she reportedly began using with friends to discreetly communicate her relationship struggles. Sarah and Andrew married in 1986 but separated in 1992, before their official divorce in 1996. However, the former couple have maintained an amicable relationship since. Mr Lownie alleged in his book: "By now Sarah was using a secret code with her closest friends to let them know that her relationship with Andrew was crumbling. Said one: 'When things were getting very rough she'd say 'The ranch is getting closer.' A reference to her mother's flit to Argentina.'" The "flit" Mr Lownie refers to is when Sarah's mum, Susan Barrantes (formerly Ferguson and Wright), left her family to start a romance with Argentinian polo player Hector Barrantes. Hector passed away in 1990, eight years before Susan, who is reportedly buried next to him. Mr Lownie's book release has reportedly heightened concerns within the Royal Family about Andrew potentially getting tangled up in more negative stories. Journalist Richard Eden expressed his thoughts in a new television documentary about Andrew. He said: "Who knows what could come out? I think the Royal Family still lives in fear, frankly, of what could come out." In the run-up to the book's launch, Mr Lownie has been discussing the attention it has garnered, and how it took him four years to finish, after submitting hundreds of Freedom of Information requests to government departments. He alleged to Sky that his applications were rejected, while addressing the widespread uproar around his work before it became widely accessible. Mr Lownie told the broadcaster: "Clearly there are details that people have picked up on and run with. And you know, that's inevitable in these sort of books. If they're to earn our trust and support, they have to show that they are not hiding things - that they are behaving well." Mr Lownie has also tackled the question of whether Andrew might return to public duties following a YouGov poll which revealed the Duke remains the least popular Royal. The findings showed that 87 percent of respondents hold a negative opinion of him, whilst merely five percent view him favourably, with disapproval ratings climbing among younger demographics. Mr Lownie remarked: "I don't think he has any public future. I would say his private future is pretty limited too. I mean, he lives in Royal Lodge [on the Windsor Estate], he plays golf, watches TV, and presumably sees his grandchildren ... he's living the life of a retired man."
