By Ben Church, CNN (CNN) — The Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) final – a game to decide the best soccer team on the continent – ended in utter chaos on Sunday as fans caused a huge commotion and players walked off the pitch in protest on an evening which showed the best and very worst of the sport. Ultimately, Senegal beat Morocco 1-0 to lift the trophy, but the scoreline underplays the disarray that occurred in arguably the most dramatic final in the history of the sport. With so many flashpoints and moments of madness to dissect, CNN Sports breaks down what exactly happened on a wild and memorable night. Chaos errupts The final was between the two highest-ranked teams in Africa. Morocco, which was hosting the tournament, was the slight favorite over Senegal, which last won AFCON back in 2021. The game also involved some of the best players in the world, with former Liverpool star Sadio Mané spearheading the Lions of Teranga and Paris Saint-Germain superstar Achraf Hakimi leading the Atlas Lions. While the game started slowly, there was an undercurrent of tension surrounding the final and that feeling boiled over in the most spectacular way in the closing minutes of regulation time. With the score still 0-0, Senegal thought it had scored the winner when Ismaïla Sarr bundled the ball over the line in the second minute of added time at the end of the match. But the celebrations quickly turned to fury for the Senegalese players after referee Jean-Jacques Ndala ruled the goal out after judging Abdoulaye Seck had fouled Hakimi in the build-up. The decision looked soft, and everyone in a green Senegal jersey was incensed. Those feelings were compounded minutes later when the referee awarded Morocco a controversial penalty, after El Hadji Malick Diouf’s challenge on Brahim Díaz. Despite going unpunished initially, the foul was spotted by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR), and Ndala eventually pointed to the spot after reviewing the replays. It was a soft penalty, perhaps, but you could see why the official awarded it. That decision, though, lit the fuse. The Lions of Teranga, led by head coach Pape Thiaw, were furious with the decision, and the team’s protestations spilled out onto the pitch, preventing the penalty from being taken. While players, officials and coaching staff clashed on the field, a pocket of Senegal fans at one end of the stadium also began a violent outburst, jumping out of the stands before clashing with stewards. Police and security staff were needed to prevent the supporters from running onto the pitch. Then, in sensational scenes, Thiaw ordered his players off the field as a way of protest. Some of his team listened and disappeared into the locker room, while a handful of others stayed on the field to try calm the situation. Chief among those who remained on the field was Senegalese star Mané, who had said this would be his final AFCON game for the national team. The forward seemed intent on his team finishing the match and was seen urging his teammates to come back on the pitch. After a brief conversation with former Senegal player El Hadji Diouf in the stands, Mané ran towards the players’ tunnel to demand that the rest of the squad come back out on the pitch. Eventually, they listened and play resumed after a 14-minute delay. Penalty madness Attention then turned to Díaz, who was handed the unenviable responsibility of taking the penalty amid such a circus. As he prepared to take the spot-kick, the forward continued to be taunted by the Senegalese players, and the Real Madrid star was clearly feeling the pressure. Then, in what can only be described as a moment of madness, Díaz produced a dire “Panenka” effort – a style of penalty kick that involves chipping the ball gently toward the middle of the goal as the goalkeeper preemptively dives to the left or right – which saw the ball slowly find its way into the hands of Édouard Mendy. The effort was so bad that many on social media wondered whether the penalty…

Por Ivana Kottasová y Anna Chernova, CNN El presidente de Rusia, Vladimir Putin, fue invitado a unirse a la “Junta de Paz” de su par estadounidense, Donald Trump, el comité que supervisará la reconstrucción de Gaza, según informó su portavoz el lunes. En declaraciones a la prensa durante una rueda de prensa habitual, Dmitry Peskov afirmó: “El presidente Putin también recibió, a través de canales diplomáticos, una invitación para unirse a esta Junta de Paz”. Añadió que el Kremlin está revisando la invitación y “espera obtener más detalles por parte de Estados Unidos”. CNN solicitó un comentario a la Casa Blanca. Más tarde este lunes, el Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores de Belarús dijo que el presidente Alexander Lukashenko también recibió una invitación para unirse a la junta. El servicio de prensa del ministerio señaló que Minsk “valora altamente que la parte estadounidense vea a Belarús —y esto está claramente expresado en el texto de la comunicación— como un país dispuesto a asumir la noble responsabilidad de construir una paz duradera y liderar con el ejemplo, invirtiendo en un futuro seguro y próspero para las próximas generaciones”. Lukashenko es el aliado más cercano de Putin y ha sido descrito como el último dictador de Europa. La creación de este consejo, presidido por Trump, es un paso clave en el plan estadounidense, respaldado por las Naciones Unidas, para desmilitarizar y reconstruir Gaza, devastada por dos años de guerra entre Israel y Hamas. Descrito por Trump como “el consejo más grande y prestigioso jamás reunido”, el comité incluirá al ex primer ministro británico Tony Blair, al primer ministro canadiense, Mark Carney, y al secretario de Estado estadounidense, Marco Rubio. Trump también invitó a Israel a unirse a la junta como Estado miembro fundador, dijo este lunes a CNN un alto funcionario israelí. Según el funcionario, la invitación fue extendida al primer ministro Benjamin Netanyahu o a otro representante israelí en su nombre. El presidente de Turquía, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, el de Argentina, Javier Milei, y el de Egipto, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, también recibieron invitaciones para unirse, según comunicados de sus respectivas oficinas. Los miembros del comité recibirán un asiento permanente si pagan US$ 1.000 millones, según un funcionario estadounidense, quien dijo a CNN que, aunque no existe un requisito para aportar fondos a la junta, los miembros que no realicen el pago de US$ 1.000 millones tendrán un mandato de tres años. Todos los fondos recaudados se destinarán a la reconstrucción de Gaza, dijo el funcionario, y añadió que “no habrá salarios exorbitantes ni una inflación administrativa masiva como la que aqueja a muchas otras organizaciones internacionales”. El nombramiento de Putin en la junta marcaría un regreso extraordinario al escenario global para el líder ruso, quien ha sido en gran medida marginado de proyectos de cooperación internacional desde que ordenó la invasión a gran escala de Ucrania en 2022. La implicación del Kremlin en el conflicto entre Israel y Hamas ha sido limitada, aunque sí ofreció mediar poco después de que comenzara la guerra, destacando sus vínculos tanto con Israel como con Hamas. A diferencia de muchos países occidentales, Rusia no considera oficialmente a Hamas como un grupo terrorista. Altos dirigentes de Hamas visitaron Moscú apenas semanas después de que el grupo extremista lanzara los ataques del 7 de octubre contra Israel, a pesar de que al menos 20 ciudadanos rusos murieron o fueron secuestrados en esos ataques. En 2024, facciones palestinas —algunas enfrentadas durante casi dos décadas— se reunieron en Moscú. La agencia estatal rusa TASS informó a principios de este mes que el presidente del Gobierno Autónomo Palestino, Mahmoud Abbas, tenía previsto visitar Rusia a finales de esta semana.

By Lauren Said-Moorhouse, Lauren Kent, CNN London (CNN) — Prince Harry arrived at London’s High Court on Monday as he takes on the publisher of the Daily Mail over historical unlawful information gathering. The Duke of Sussex and six other household names in Britain sued Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL) in October 2022. Years later, the case is finally going to trial with Harry, 41, expected to give evidence on Thursday. The showdown is the third major legal battle the duke has embarked upon against the British tabloid press in recent years. Here’s a reminder of the case and how we got here. What are the allegations? The group of plaintiffs have accused ANL, which publishes titles including the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday, of engaging in various types of criminal activity to obtain information about individuals in the group between 1993 to 2011. The group claims the illegal information gathering practices involved the alleged hiring of private investigators to plant listening devices in homes and cars and record private calls. The publisher has also denied allegations that it paid corrupt police officials for sensitive information, engaged in impersonation and deception to obtain medical records, and accessed bank accounts and financial transactions through “illicit means and manipulation.” ANL has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, describing the accusations as “lurid claims” and “simply preposterous.” David Sherborne, representing the group of claimants, began his opening statement on Monday saying that, during the trial, he’ll show that “there was clear, systematic and sustained use of unlawful news gathering at both the Daily Mail and the Mail on Sunday.” He said ANL’s denials of wrongdoing “were not true” and they “knew they had skeletons in their closet.” In written submissions to the court, Sherborne said: “There is compelling evidence (despite limitations due to the widespread loss of relevant documents) of Associated’s unlawful information gathering activities (and unlawful articles which were published as a result).” He continued: “There can be little doubt that journalists and executives across the Mail titles engaged in or were complicit in the culture of unlawful information gathering that wrecked the lives of so many.” The stakes are high for both sides with reputations on the line and mounting legal costs estimated to be around £40 million ($53.5 million). Who has joined Harry in the lawsuit? The challenge from King Charles’ younger son is a joint endeavor with six other notable individuals, including Elton John and his husband, David Furnish, and actress Elizabeth Hurley. Over the next nine weeks, several members of the group of claimants – which also include campaigner Doreen Lawrence, actress Sadie Frost and former politician Simon Hughes – are expected to give evidence. Harry is expected to provide his testimony on Thursday, according to a draft trial timetable. It will be the second time he has appeared in the witness box. He previously became the first senior British royal to give evidence on a witness stand in more than 130 years in a different lawsuit in 2023. He’s not expected to make any other formal public appearances. Hasn’t Harry sued over his privacy before? Yes, it would be fair to say that Harry is known to have a challenging relationship with Britain’s tabloid press and has launched legal action against some of the country’s biggest media groups over the years. Harry said the “toxic” British press was one of the reasons behind his decision with wife, Meghan, to step back from royal duties and move to the US. Damian Tambini, an expert in media and communications regulation and policy at the London School of Economics, said the fact that the duke has repeatedly traveled to London to pursue the case shows his commitment to changing the industry’s practices. “It’s clearly a priority for personal reasons. We might speculate that this goes all the way back to the way his mother was treated by the…

By Ariel Edwards-Levy, CNN (CNN) — Few Americans are satisfied with the amount of evidence released in the Jeffrey Epstein case, a CNN poll conducted by SSRS finds, with most saying they believe the government is intentionally holding back information. The poll was conducted a little less than a month after the December 19 deadline that Congress gave the Justice Department to release all of its files about Epstein. The Justice Department estimated earlier in January that it had released less than 1% of its Epstein-related files. Department officials told a court Friday they had enlisted approximately 80 more attorneys from the department’s criminal division to work with prosecutors in New York’s Southern District to review documents related the convicted sex offender. A two-thirds majority of Americans say the federal government is intentionally holding back some information about the Epstein case that should be released, while just 16% say the government is making an effort to release all information possible. The remainder say they haven’t heard enough about the case to say. Nearly 9 in 10 Democrats and 72% of independents say the government is intentionally withholding information, as do 42% of Republicans. Only about one-third of Republicans think the government is making an effort to release information, with the rest not weighing in either way. Just 6% of Americans say they’re satisfied with what the federal government has released so far, little changed from 3% in a July 2025 survey. A 49% plurality say they’re dissatisfied, with the remainder saying that it doesn’t matter to them or that they haven’t heard enough to say. Just 12% of Republicans, 3% of Democrats and 3% of independents say they’re satisfied with the information released. But partisan concerns have shifted as President Donald Trump, who pushed Republicans not to vote for the bill establishing the December 19 deadline and rejected the files as a Democratic “hoax.” Republicans have grown likelier to dismiss the relevance of the amount of information released. A 67% majority say that it doesn’t matter or that they haven’t heard enough to say, up from 56% last summer. And 21% now say they’re dissatisfied, down from 40%. Democrats, meanwhile, have moved in the opposite direction: Seventy-one percent call themselves dissatisfied, up from 56% in July, while the share who don’t offer an opinion is 27%, down from 41%. Views among independents have barely shifted over that time, with 54% saying they’re dissatisfied and 43% offering no opinion. The-CNN-Wire™ & © 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.
