These two new are different because one is written from the point of view of the United States, which is totally against Cuba; and the other is from BBC News, which is British. Also, in BBC the info is more complete because it tells you the background and why he said that. In CNN, it only makes a quick reference about it, it also contains the opinion of the president of Argentina.
