BWINDI, Uganda (AP) — News of a sick or injured mountain gorilla can worry local residents in this mountainous area that’s home to the endangered species. That’s partly because most of the gorillas have been given names, allowing rangers and others to humanize the animal’s suffering.But widespread interest in protecting mountain gorillas also comes from the economic benefits of tourism that have turned poachers into conservationists, married women into porters and rangers into eloquent spokespeople for the great apes.“If we know there is a gorilla that is sick, you see everyone is concerned. ‘Why?

On how he felt about Ekitike’s second yellow card and sending-off…No, I would prefer to start with something positive, which is not positive but the tribute we gave Matt Beard was, I think, of Liverpool standards. How the fans always do this is something that makes me proud to represent this club, how we always find a way to be so respectful for people that have done so much for our club.Then we go immediately because of your question to the last minutes of the game, where Hugo got a second yellow card.
