A baby western lowland gorilla — a critically endangered species — was born early Saturday morning at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute, according to a news release.Zoo staff are “cautiously optimistic” that the newborn, who is the second infant born to 20-year-old mother gorilla Calaya and 31-year-old father Baraka, will survive.

Who can stop Manchester City?That’s the question being asked at the end of another Premier League campaign when Pep Guardiola’s team proved too strong, winning the title for a fifth time in six years.A look at who might be best-placed to bring down City next season:ARSENAL (2nd place)Juggling another run at the title with the demands of playing in the Champions League looks to be Arsenal’s biggest problem.

Reinforcements at left back, center back and central midfield are needed, especially if Granit Xhaka leaves. However, Mikel Arteta’s squad — the youngest in the Premier League — will be better for the experience of going toe to toe with City before eventually falling short. “We understand where ...
