The best videos and celebrations from Man City’s Champions League win

"Tired, calm, satisfied." Those were the emotions coursing through Pep Guardiola after steering Manchester City to the club's maiden Champions League title against Inter on Saturday, the third leg of a historic European treble to match Manchester United's feat in 1999. When Guardiola was confronted with how City could perform next season in the post-match press conference, he slumped onto the desk, begging: "No, don't talk about it. I need a break." It seems that City director Khaldoon Al Mubarak had also been looking ahead. "My chairman said: ‘Oh, London is next season’s venue [Wembley] of the final,'" Guardiola reported. "I don't tell you my answer to him because [it] will not be proper." Instead, Guardiola channelled his inner Kool & The Gang. "Now is time to celebrate." Here's how Manchester City's players and fans followed their manager's orders. Pitch-side party "Put any drink in front of ...

Lawyer says 'nothing was out of bounds' for reporters seeking scoops on young Prince Harry

A lawyer for Prince Harry says no event early in his life was too trivial or private for the journalists of Mirror Group Newspapers to resist LONDON -- A broken thumb, a back injury, dabbling with drugs and dating girls. No event in the life of a young Prince Harry was too trivial or private for the journalists of Mirror Group Newspapers to resist, and the demand for such scoops led to the use of illegal means to dig up dirt, his lawyer said Monday in the opening of his phone hacking lawsuit. “Nothing was sacrosanct or out of bounds and there was no protection from these unlawful information-gathering methods,” attorney David Sherborne said. But a defense lawyer said it would have been foolish to spy on a figure like Harry with such tight security, and he rejected allegations that Mirror Group report ers ever eavesdropped on his phone's voice messages. "There is simply no evidence capable of supporting the finding that the Duke of Sussex was hacked, let alone on a habitual b...

Mike Turner, the chair of the House Intelligence Committee, on Sunday lambasted what he called increased military hostility by China and insisted the U.S. "stand strong" after recent close calls near American ships and planes and the suspected spy balloon that was shot down off the East Coast. "What we're seeing is an unbelievable aggression by China," Turner, R-Ohio, told ABC "This Week" co-anchor Martha Raddatz. "If you look at the balloon that flew over the United States, the Chinese police stations, the aggressiveness against our both planes and ships and international water, it goes right to the heart of what President Xi [Jinping] said when he stood next to [President Vladimir] Putin in Russia where he said they are trying to make change that has not happened in 100 years." ...
