Compact cars have become surprisingly good in these modern times. They're safer, more spacious, better equipped and more fuel-efficient than ever. Among the lot, the Mazda 3 is one of our perennial favorite, largely for its engaging driving experience and thoughtful cabin design that looks like it should command a higher price tag. But the current Mazda 3 has been around since 2014 and newer compact competitors, such as the Honda Civic and the Kia Forte, have been threatening to knock the little Mazda down a rung or two. All that could change with the all-new 2019 Mazda 3, which debuts this week at the 2018 Los Angeles Auto Show. The Juiciest Highlights First What's immediately apparent is the Mazda 3's taut new skin, showcasing what Mazda says is the latest interpretation of its "Kodo design language" from its Vision Coupe Concept shown in 2017. It looks good, sure, but more on that in a bit. What's slightly more newsworthy for this 3 is the availability of Mazda i-Activ all-wheel drive for the first time. (Front-wheel drive is still standard.) All-wheel drive is somewhat rare in the current compact-car segment, which includes the Subaru Impreza, the Mini Clubman All4 and high-end performance models such as the Ford Focus RS and Volkswagen Golf R. Mazda's i-Activ all-wheel drive, which is featured on a number of its crossovers, is an on-demand system that transfers power to the rear wheels when additional traction is needed but defaults to front-wheel drive to save fuel when it isn't. It works in conjunction with a new G-Vectoring Control Plus (GVC Plus) that uses the brakes to assist turning (torque-vectoring by brake), which can aid handling and help maintain composure in emergency avoidance maneuvers. When it first launches, the Mazda 3 will be powered by a 2.5-liter inline-four from the Skyactiv-G family of engines and a choice of a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission. Power numbers have yet to be announced, but we expect it'll match or come close to the current model's 184 horsepower and 185 pound-feet of torque. Later in the year, Mazda's ground-breaking Skyactiv-X engine will finally become a production reality under the hood of the new Mazda 3. It'll come equipped with something Mazda is calling its M Hybrid system —likely mild hybridization at most. Brother From Another Mother The new Mazda 3, like the outgoing model, is offered as a sedan or hatchback. But unlike the twin models rolling around the streets today, Mazda wanted to give the new cars distinctly different styling personalities for 2019. The hatchback shrugs off its character lines for soft body contours and a bulbousness in back resembling a low-riding Mazda CX-5. The sedan adds more than 3 inches in length, but no doubt trades some utility for a sleeker and more elegant profile. Both models are within 0.2 inch in height and ride on identical wheelbases, an inch longer than the previous generation, and longer than any other car in the segment. One of the few shortcomings of the Mazda 3 was a lack of rear passenger legroom, so we expect the stretched wheelbase will help address the issue. One detail that we found particularly confounding, especially for a company such as Mazda that champions driving excitement, was the decision to replace its current independent rear suspension setup with a less sophisticated torsion beam. This cost-saving measure can be expected to sacrifice handling and ride comfort points. It's What's Inside That Counts The current Mazda 3 gets high points for its interior amenities, and the new model looks to extend that lead further. Correction: Mazda is gunning for total interior domination. The driver-centric cockpit design is clean, with an upscale simplicity that would make some luxury brands blush. An 8.8-inch color display peeks out from behind a leather-wrapped dash that extends from instrument cluster to the passenger door. The Mazda Connect controller has evolved into a more polished version of itself and is hopefully just as easy to use, too. But it's not all about looks either. The steering wheel gains an additional 0.4 inch of telescoping adjustment at either end of the travel to suit a broader range of positions, and the gearshift has been moved forward and up, reducing the distance the driver's hand has to travel from the steering wheel. Mazda says cabin noise has been decreased through a new "two-wall" approach that leaves space between the body panels and carpet to better insulate, working alongside the sound-absorbing headliner and floor mats. Safety First. Er, Fourth Active safety driving aids are the new luxury today, and the Mazda 3 has a few neat ones. Mazda's i-Activsense includes a new driver monitoring system that uses both an infrared camera and infrared LED to monitor the driver's condition. It can track whether your eyes are wide-open or closing, how many times you blink, and even the angle of your mouth to determine if you're drowsy or fatigued. It also looks at the line of sight and eye movement to determine attentiveness, and it will sound an alert if it senses risk. Front cross-traffic alert is another available feature that uses radar to detect vehicles approaching from blind spots at the front, such as when you're inching out of an alleyway. And finally, there's Mazda's adaptive cruise, called Cruising & Traffic Support, that assists low-speed following and has a lane keeping function. It's also worth mentioning that the 2019 Mazda 3 features a new driver's knee airbag, the first ever on a Mazda car. When Can I Get One? Mazda says the first batch of 2019 Mazda 3 cars will arrive early next year, all of them equipped with the 2.5-liter Skyactiv-G engines. The Skyactiv-X cars will follow later in 2019. Pricing has not been announced, but you'll know as soon as we do.

Chelsea have suspended four people from attending matches while an investigation into the alleged racial abuse of Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling takes place. The incident involving the 24-year-old occurred during City's 2-0 loss at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. Chelsea are "fully supporting" an ongoing police investigation. A club statement said evidence of racist behaviour will result in "severe sanctions, including bans". "Chelsea Football Club finds all forms of discriminatory behaviour abhorrent," the statement continued, adding that the club "will also fully support any criminal prosecutions". Manchester City welcomed Chelsea's decision to issue suspensions. A club statement said: "The club and Raheem are fully engaged with Chelsea FC and the investigating authorities as they continue to examine the events in question. "Manchester City and Raheem are committed to working with all relevant parties and organisations to support the objective of eradicating racism from the game." Social media users posted a video of an incident during which Sterling was shouted at as he collected the ball from behind the goal. Sterling said he "had to laugh" when he heard the remarks because he expects "no better". A subsequent Instagram post from the England international saw him question the way the media portrays black players and has prompted debate between stakeholders in the game. The Professional Footballers' Association has said negative press coverage of Sterling "emboldens racist rhetoric", adding the former Liverpool player is "often singled out".

Anna Boniface seemed to have the world at her feet when finishing as the 2017 London Marathon's fastest amateur female runner. Her performance earned her an England team place in that autumn's Toronto Marathon. The then 25-year-old finished the London race in two hours, 37 minutes and travelled to Canada six months later. But 10 miles into her international debut, Anna's ankle fractured. "It was the breakthrough that broke me," she tells BBC 5 live Investigates. "It was horrible, I'd never not finished a race in my life. I thought I could just struggle to the end somehow, but I realised I would not be able to go on, I just had to sit on the kerb and wait." But worse was to come for the Reading runner. In addition to the stress fracture of her ankle, tests found poor bone density, including osteoporosis in her spine, which made fractures a real risk. These symptoms were all hallmarks of a condition called Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (Red-S). This occurs when sports people restrict their diet in the belief that constant weight loss will keep improving performance, to such an extent that some of the body's functions begin to shut down. The condition can cause a range of health problems in men and women including a drop in hormone levels, a deterioration in bone density, a drop in metabolic rate and mental health problems. Anna, who works as a physiotherapist, admits she was aware of the condition but was so desperate to keep improving that she ignored the warning signs, which included not having a period for eight years. "It was a lot to do with my training volume and not eating enough - not being wide enough in my food groups, being restrictive with carbohydrates," she says. "I was training twice a day, I was running 100-plus miles a week at times, and you burn up a lot of energy with that, and from a runner's perspective you get it into your mind that you need to be this race weight. "You get caught up in this cycle of running really fast, wanting to lose a little more weight, push that race weight a little bit more, running faster, and then just breaking, which is what happened." The state of Anna's health was discovered before any more serious damage could be done and, after a year's rest, she has been able to slowly return to running. Red-S can affect male and female athletes and became a recognised condition in 2014 - replacing another condition called female athlete triad, which recognised the affect of too few calories among sportswomen only. There have been few studies into the prevalence of the condition but it is understood to be most common in sports such as athletics, cycling and dancing, where being light could make a significant difference to performance. On Sunday, the #Trainbrave campaign is being launched to raise awareness of the risks of Red-S, particularly among promising amateur sportspeople who may be trying to improve their performance without giving enough thought to their diet. It was the same drive for performance perfection which led cyclist Sam Woodfield, 28, from Northamptonshire, to lose up to one-third of his body weight in a year, after taking up the sport in 2016. Having previously been a bodybuilder and a natural sportsman, losing some weight helped him to rapidly progress to a competitive level in the sport and he began to take it seriously. But his drive for better performance spiralled to the point that he was frequently enduring gruelling training rides without eating. For Sam the equation was simple: "Lighter meant faster which meant I stood more chance of winning." 'Like an 80-year-old' For a time it worked but his victories came at a huge cost. By 2017 Sam had so little energy he could barely walk upstairs, he could not sleep and his mental health was suffering. He accepted he needed help and had a series of tests which revealed the true cost of his pursuit of performance. "I was told I had very low visceral fat around my body which is essential fat you need to keep you alive," he says. "I was also told that, as well as having no testosterone, I had the bone density of an 80-year-old in my spine and my hips. It was a very scary point in my life." Dr Nicky Keay, a sport and dance endocrinologist, says Red-S occurs when the athlete's body does not have enough energy to sustain it and begins to shut down. She says: "The body partitions the energy you get from your diet. You need an amount to cover training, then the remaining energy is what you need for day-to-day life. "If you're not getting enough spare energy you go into survival mode. Oestrogen levels drop in women and testosterone for men which is key for bone health. "It's like when your phone's battery drops to a low level, it switches off lots of non-essential apps, this is what the body is doing." Five live Investigates asked British Athletics what it was doing to raise awareness of the risks among athletes. In response, it said it works with a number of partner organisations, including the English Institute of Sport, to ensure awareness and treatment of the conditions that are part of the Red-S.

US chip-maker Qualcomm claims it has won an injunction against Apple that effectively bans the import of a number of iPhone models, ranging from the iPhone 6S to the iPhone X. The preliminary order, issued by a Chinese court, is the latest in step a continuing feud between the two tech giants over intellectual property. However, Apple says all of its iPhone models remain on sale in the country. The disputed patents relate to software rather than hardware. The injunction affects devices running older versions of Apple's iOS operating system and not those running the latest version, iOS 12. The court found Apple had violated two of Qualcomm's patents - one regarding photograph resizing and the other related to how apps are managed on a touch screen. "Apple continues to benefit from our intellectual property while refusing to compensate us," said Don Rosenberg, general counsel of Qualcomm. However, Apple responded that the attempted ban was "another desperate move by a company whose illegal practices are under investigation by regulators around the world". The company added it would "pursue all our legal options through the courts". In January 2017, Apple filed two lawsuits against Qualcomm, claiming it had abused its dominant market position as a chip-maker. In July the same year, Qualcomm claimed that iPhones using chips by rivals, such as Intel, infringed six of its patents.

Egypt is investigating a video which appears to show a Danish couple scaling the Great Pyramid and posing naked. The alleged incident has sparked outrage in the conservative Muslim country. Prosecutors will explore whether the video is real, and if so how they were able to climb the 140m (460ft) tall structure, state-run newspaper Al-Ahram reports. Officials had initially suggested the footage might be fake. The Great Pyramid of Giza, also known as Khufu or Cheops, is one of the seven wonders of the ancient world A photographer said he and a friend had spent several hours "sneaking around" before making the climb. The Egyptian antiquities minister told MPs on Sunday that prosecutors were investigating whether the Danish couple "really filmed an explicit pornographic video" at the famous site in Giza. Khaled al-Anani, quoted by Al-Ahram, said they have been asked to determine whether the video was real or fake, and to prosecute any officials found to be negligent. Scaling the pyramids was "strictly forbidden", he added, calling the images a "violation of public morality". What does the video show? The three-minute edited video, which was uploaded to YouTube by Danish photographer Andreas Hvid, shows a woman climbing what he says is the tallest pyramid in Giza at night. It includes a photo of the couple, with the woman's face blurred, posing side by side atop the 4,500-year-old pyramid. The final shot shows the woman, her back to the camera overlooking the Cairo skyline, remove her top. The photographer also posted an image of the couple apparently lying together naked on top of the pyramid during daylight. What was the reaction? The video and photo, which went viral on social media last week, has provoked widespread anger both in Egypt and abroad, with many condemning the stunt as disrespectful to Egyptian history and heritage. Responding to Mr Hvid's video on Facebook, one woman wrote: "Such a shame. This has been completely disrespectful behaviour to another land, another culture, another way of living... It shows little understanding of respecting another religion and culture." But the head of Egypt's antiquities council, Mostafa al-Waziri, has suggested the photo may have been created by image-editing software Photoshop, newspaper al-Masry al-Youm reports. What does the photographer say? In his YouTube post, Mr Hvid said he and his friend had entered the site of the Great Pyramid in late November. "Fearing to be spotted by the many guards, I did not film the several hours of sneaking around at the Giza Plateau, which lead up to the climb," he added. He told Danish tabloid Ekstrabladet he had been dreaming of climbing the giant structure "for many years". "I'm sad that so many people have become so angry. But I have also received a positive response from a lot of Egyptians - something I think is worth remembering." Mr Hvid denied they had sex on top of the pyramid, and said they were merely posing for the photo shoot. The photographer has posted a series of images of nude figures on high rises and in unusual locations around the world on his website. Has anything like this happened before? Climbing the pyramids was banned in the 1980s after a number of tourists died attempting to scale them. But that hasn't stopped some rule-breakers. In 2016, a German teenager was banned from Egypt for life after climbing the Great Pyramid to take photos and videos. He managed to avoid a three-year jail term after authorities decided not to prosecute him. A year later, a Turkish national was briefly detained by police for scaling the ancient Egyptian monument. In 2015, Egyptian authorities investigated reports of footage posted online apparently showing nudity and sexual acts by a group of Russian-speaking tourists near the Giza site. The conservative Muslim country has seen a number of high-profile Egyptians convicted in recent years of performing indecent acts in public. Just nine days ago, actress Rania Youssef was summoned to court for wearing a revealing dress to the Cairo Film Festival.

Thirty-two surrogate mothers charged with human trafficking in Cambodia for carrying babies for Chinese clients have been released after agreeing to keep the children, officials say. The women were arrested in June in a raid as part of a crackdown on the country's commercial surrogacy trade. Surrogacy was banned in Cambodia in 2016, a year after neighbouring Thailand imposed limits on the service. Demand has risen in recent years since China's easing of its one-child policy. A further five people, including a Chinese national, have been arrested and charged with human trafficking in connection with the case. The release of the Cambodian surrogate mothers this week was agreed on "humanitarian grounds", a police official working with the National Committee for Counter Trafficking (NCCT) said. The official, who asked not to be named, said that while the women had committed a crime, their babies were innocent, and for that reason the NCCT had requested their freedom on condition. "They have agreed not to sell the babies and will raise them," he confirmed, stating that if the women break the agreement they could face human trafficking charges, which could result in up to 15 years in prison, AFP news agency reports. In contrast, acting as an intermediary between an adoptive parent and a pregnant woman is punishable by up to six months in prison. The women were released from a police hospital. It is not clear if they are genetically related to the babies they carry or whether they had agreed to act as gestational surrogates only (by carrying another couple's fertilised embryo). Cambodia's Secretary of State for the Interior Ministry, Chou Bun Eng, told the BBC in a recent interview that the government rejects the idea that any embryo carried by a mother is not "her own". "The woman takes care of them and feeds them for more than nine months before the embryo becomes human, so how can you give the children to someone else?" she said. She added that surrogacy is now seen as a form of human trafficking in Cambodia because the children, who she said were the victims, are sold as "goods". Commercial surrogacy has grown in South East Asia in recent years, prompting some countries to take action. In 2014, a surrogate baby scandal erupted in Thailand after a boy with Down's syndrome - known as Baby Gammy - was abandoned by the Australian couple who had commissioned a Thai surrogate mother to carry him. The following year, Thailand imposed a ban on foreigners seeking Thai surrogate mothers following a string of scandals in the industry. This led to an increase in commercial surrogacy in neighbouring countries such as Cambodia, which then moved swiftly to impose a total ban. But the practice has continued to flourish in other places where it is not regulated, such as Laos. Last year, Australian nurse Tammy Davis-Charles was jailed for 18 months in Cambodia for providing commercial surrogacy services. Besides commercial surrogacy, Cambodia has also banned organ trafficking and the export of breast milk. Other countries that have imposed a ban on commercial surrogacy include India, New Zealand, Canada, Denmark and the UK.

The new styling can be seen across the lineup for the 2020 and 2019 model year, with the latest design language adding a sharper and more pointed fascia, new proportions, and a boxier, squared-off shape overall. Toyota currently offers the Corolla in both a hatchback and standard sedan body style, with the hybrid taking after the latter in terms of shape. And although the powertrain is substantially different, the Corolla hybrid is more or less identical to non-hybrid variants with regards to the exterior styling, save for some distinguishing badges placed on the fenders and a few other minor details. The fascia, for example, is pretty much exactly the same between the hybrid and non-hybrid models, with the exception of a blue-tinted Toyota badge on the nose. With the Corolla hybrid, you still get J-shaped headlight housings with LED lighting elements, which are drawn rearwards into the front fenders. The main intake remains large and in charge across the front, while a slim upper intake connects the headlights. Moving to the sides, we find the same silhouette as the standard Corolla, including a blunt nose, a sloping roofline, and a short tail section. However, the corners are occupied by unique 15-inch aluminum alloy wheels, which are a clear departure from the standard model’s 16- to 18-inch units. Don’t forget the “Hybrid” badging on the fenders. Moving to the rear, we find the Corolla sports a simple truck design with several horizontal styling elements to enhance the model’s overall visual width. LED lighting can be found in the angular taillight housings as well, while a second blue-tinted Toyota badge adorns the trunk lid. Overall, we feel the look is simple and surprisingly understated for a hybrid model - which is perhaps one of the Corolla hybrid’s greater selling points. If flying under the radar is a priority, this thing will definitely get the job done. The Corolla hybrid also shares the standard model’s new exterior dimensions. The wheelbase remains set at 106.3 inches, but the front track was widened by an extra 0.47 inches for the 2020 model year, and now sits 60.77 inches. The rear track was widened even more, gaining an extra 0.87 inches for a total of 61.27 inches overall. Meanwhile, the front overhang is 1.3 inches shorter and the rear overhang is more than half an inch longer. The overall height was also reduced by 0.8 inches and the hood is 1.4 inches lower. Many of these changes were implemented as a way to increase outward visibility, and come complemented by a lower instrument panel inside the cabin space, a lower outer cowl, and a lower belt line, not to mention repositioned side mirrors.

Attempts to incorporate a key scientific study into global climate talks in Poland have failed. The IPCC report on the impacts of a temperature rise of 1.5C, had a significant impact when it was launched last October. Scientists and many delegates in Poland were shocked as the US, Saudi Arabia, Russia and Kuwait objected to this meeting "welcoming" the report. It was the 2015 climate conference that had commissioned the landmark study. The report said that the world is now completely off track, heading more towards 3C this century rather than 1.5C. Keeping to the preferred target would need "rapid, far-reaching and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society". If warming was to be kept to 1.5C this century, then emissions of carbon dioxide would have to be reduced by 45% by 2030. The report, launched in Incheon in South Korea, had an immediate impact winning praise from politicians all over the world. But negotiators here ran into serious trouble when Saudi Arabia, the US, Russia and Kuwait objected to the conference "welcoming" the document. Instead they wanted to support a much more lukewarm phrase, that the conference would "take note" of the report. Saudi Arabia had fought until the last minute in Korea to limit the conclusions of the document. Eventually they gave in. But it now seems that they have brought their objections to Poland. The dispute dragged on as huddles of negotiators met in corners of the plenary session here, trying to agree a compromise wording. None was forthcoming. With no consensus, under UN rules the passage of text had to be dropped. Many countries expressed frustration and disappointment at the outcome. "It's not about one word or another, it is us being in a position to welcome a report we commissioned in the first place," said Ruenna Haynes from St Kitts and Nevis. "If there is anything ludicrous about the discussion it's that we can't welcome the report," she said to spontaneous applause. Scientists and campaigners were also extremely disappointed by the outcome. "We are really angry and find it atrocious that some countries dismiss the messages and the consequences that we are facing, by not accepting what is unequivocal and not acting upon it," said Yamide Dagnet from the World Resources Institute, and a former climate negotiator for the UK. Others noted that Saudi Arabia and the US had supported the report when it was launched in October. It appears that the Saudis and the US baulked at the political implications of the UN body putting the IPCC report at its heart. "Climate science is not a political football," said Camilla Born, from climate think tank E3G. "All the worlds governments - Saudi included - agreed the 1.5C report and we deserve the truth. Saudi can't argue with physics, the climate will keep on changing." Many delegates are now hoping that ministers, who arrive on Monday, will try and revive efforts to put this key report at the heart of the conference. "We hope that the rest of the world will rally and we get a decisive response to the report," said Yamide Dagnet. "I sincerely hope that all countries will fight that we don't leave COP24 having missed a moment of history."

Lionel Messi scored two direct free-kicks in a single La Liga game for the first time as Barcelona beat Espanyol to move three points clear at the top. Messi first found the top corner from the edge of the penalty area to put the visitors ahead. Ousmane Dembele doubled Barca's lead with a curling finish before Luis Suarez made it 3-0 from a tight angle. Another sensational Messi set-piece - this time from further out - completed the victory. Sevilla had missed the chance to leapfrog Ernesto Valverde's side earlier on Saturday as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Valencia. That allowed Atletico Madrid, who recorded a comfortable 3-0 victory over fourth-placed Alaves, to briefly move level on points with the top two. Barca, who face Tottenham in the Champions League on Tuesday, also hit the woodwork twice in a one-sided first half, Suarez slicing against the post from Messi's pass before the latter crashed a header against the other post. Espanyol improved after the interval and had a goal disallowed for offside when Oscar Duarte stabbed home Sergio Garcia's cross from close range, but a comeback was never a serious possibility for the hosts. The win cements Barcelona's place at the La Liga summit, while Espanyol drop to ninth after slipping to a fourth consecutive league defeat.
