American singer Lizzo, who was recently slammed for following a 10-day smoothie cleanse regime, took to TikTok to celebrate being vegan for the past six months. The Truth Hurts singer went on to appreciate how she was before and after the switch. As part of the video, she shared a throwback clip of her making a doughnut milkshake around the beginning of the lockdown. “Hey so I found this video of me from the beginning of quarantine making what looks like a stale doughnut, pound cake, milkshake type concoction,” the Cuz I love You singer shared. “This is from a whirlwind tour and year, and after being seven years vegetarian, going back to eating all animal products,” she added. The Grammy winner then switched to a video showing the present, in which she is seen making vegan protein shake. “I’m happy both ways and right now, this is what’s bringing me joy,” the 32-year-old singer said. “I’m still that happy girl, loving myself and loving my body,” Lizzo expressed as she switched to a clip of her posing in lingerie from Rihanna’s label Savage x Fenty. “Love yourself at all stages in your life because you are who you are,” she further emphasised.

Charts, greatest-ever lists, top 10s, top 20s and top 100s – they all evolve over time because, obviously, stuff happens. 18 years have passed since Autocar assembled its original ‘100 Most Beautiful Cars’ list and new cars have also been launched in this fresh century at a frenetic rate as manufacturers race to fill niches opened by crossovers and alternative powertrains. New firms have arrived, too, and not all of them from the small industrial units of underfunded hopefuls. Let’s take a look at our current best – and feature as much original Autocar photography as we can:

The former president, hoping to return to the helm at Camp Nou, has fired a shot at Zinedine Zidane's side ahead of the election If an alien came to earth, they would notice one thing straight away, according to Barcelona presidential candidate Joan Laporta – that VAR favours Real Madrid. Laporta, president of Barca between 2003 and 2010, is among the favourites to replace the ousted Josep Maria Bartomeu at this month’s elections. It seems as though the 58-year-old is intent on continuing the Catalan tradition of antagonising Madrid, having hung a large campaign poster of himself close to the Santiago Bernabeu in December. “The poster has a sense of humour and irony that can be accepted,” Laporta told Marca. “It is not to provoke; it is to highlight my profile. I think they have accepted it with humour and sympathy.” Barcelona are sixth in La Liga, eight points behind Madrid and 10 adrift of leaders Atletico - but Laporta thinks the officials have played their part. "If a Martian came down to earth and saw the VAR, they would quickly say that it is in favour of Madrid,” he quipped. Verbal jousting with Barca’s rivals won’t be enough to dig the club out of their current rut, of course, and Laporta says he has transfer plans to put in place if he is elected. “I have my own sporting project. I have three names for the technical secretary. I will not fall into the trap of naming names. “It is not that I want to avoid the question, it is that the price of the player would rise and our player in that position would suffer a drop in form. “All the agents are calling me. I know them all and they want me to be president again, but I have told them that I'm not talking about players or coaches for now." When pressed on whether he would make signings in the January transfer window – with only a week of the window to run after the election – Laporta added: “The technical secretary would have to inform us. What I would ask the secretary is not to limit himself in his tasks.” Barcelona's electoral campaign officially begins on January 15, with the election itself to be held on January 24.

Lupa, based in Barcelona, is a start-up that is planning a wide range of low-cost electric vehicles whose biggest advantage lies in a range where they all have interchangeable batteries, which are sold separately to help maintain the lowest price. Its first model, the Lupa E26, will arrive in 2023 and will have a starting price of 17,000 euros, including the battery that the company values at 9,400 euros (without taxes). The Lupa E26 will use a skateboard-like platform to house a compact powertrain, combining the electric motor, transmission and electronics into a single unit, plus the battery. The brand has not confirmed whether it will develop it internally or buy it from a third party, but they have surely opted for the latter option. In terms of size, the E26 is from the same segment as the Renault Zoe, with dimensions of 4.07 meters in length, 1.78 m in width, 1.5 m in height and 2.59 m in battle (distance between axes). The Catalan manufacturer announces a power of up to 87 kW and an acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h in just 9 seconds. Accumulating 42 kWh of capacity, the battery has a range that ranges between 320 and 400 kilometers (WLTP), depending on the type of driving. According to the information that is available, the E26 has three driving modes that impact the performance of the vehicle and its autonomy; in Sport configuration the engine produces 87 kW (117 hp), while in Normal it will be 66 kW (90 hp) and 48 kW (65 hp) in City. The E26 recharging time is around eight hours for a single-phase outlet, and five hours and 15 minutes for a three-phase 11 kW installation. With a fast charge in a 100 kW station it is capable of filling from 0 to 80% in just 30 minutes. Lupa astutely plans to offer a replaceable battery for around 8,700 euros (with a life expectancy of between eight and 10 years), and the company claims that all models will be able to fit the same battery. In addition, any collaborating workshop can install and repair it Beyond its first model, Lupa also plans to launch an electric delivery van optimized for the closest deliveries, followed by two SUV models in 2024, those destined to be called 64 and 42. The latter will be priced close to 11,500 euros. , although without the battery or the taxes included; the final sale price with the battery goes up to 19,100 euros. The Lupa 64, with more autonomy and a 64 kWh battery, will do the same from 23,000 euros. E26 and later models will be sold exclusively online. “The first model, if you buy it new, will have to be with battery, unless you buy it second-hand from another customer. What we want is that the client can change cars every two or three years without having to make an investment in paying for the battery. In addition, in this way we are able to extend the life of the battery and be more ecological ”, declared the founder of Lupa, Carlos Álvarez, to electdrive.com. Álvarez hopes the idea will not only lead to more sustainable use of the battery in a second life, but also to greater loyalty.

The Reds have beaten out Manchester United for the capture of the former from Spanish club Celta Vigo, while also adding the Birmingham City youngster Liverpool are set to complete the capture of teenage defenders Stefan Bajcetic and Calum Scanlon. The Reds have beaten Manchester United for the signing of Bajcetic from Spanish club Celta Vigo, while they have plucked Scanlon from Championship outfit Birmingham City. Both deals are expected to be officially confirmed by the Reds in the new year. Jurgen Klopp's side will welcome both players into their Under-18 setup on Merseyside as the Premier League champions continue to seek to nurture leading talent of the future among their ranks. The signing of Bajcetic - thought to have cost in the region of £224,000 - has not only seen Liverpool beat out Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Red Devils but also impending Brexit regulations. Clubs in the United Kingdom will be unable to sign players under the age of 18 from European Union nations owing to freedom of movement restrictions from 2021 onwards. Bajcetic is the son of Srdan Bajcetic, who played for Red Star and Celta Vigo among other sides in a career that spanned from the early 1990s to 2004. Scanlon - who previously confirmed on Instagram that he was set to make the switch to Anfield - meanwhile arrives from St Andrew's for a fee in the region of £400,000. Both Bajcetic's signature and that of 15-year-old Scanlon is particularly notable given Liverpool's more traditional reluctance to invest in academy-level players outside of their own club hierarchy in comparison to their rivals. Bajcetic and Scanlon are expected to report for duty with the U18 side at Kirkby under Marc Bridge-Wilkinson, with a view to moving up towards the U23s under Barry Lewtas. Liverpool's senior side, meanwhile, face a New Year's breather following Wednesday's goalless draw with Newcastle, returning to action on Monday against high-flying Southampton. The Reds have dropped points two games on the trot now, drawing against both West Brom and the Magpies, which has spoiled their attempts to stretch their lead at the top of the Premier League. Klopp's side currently have a three-point advantage over second-place Manchester United, who could draw level on points should they defeat Aston Villa on Friday.

Rabat – A strong wave caused a fishing boat carrying 14 fishermen to crash near Tarfaya, southern Morocco, in the early hours of Thursday. The wave destroyed the fishing boat after leaving the port of Tarfaya, Morocco’s state media reported. Preliminary data on the tragic incident said that authorities rescued three people, who were transferred immediately to the emergency room of the Tarfaya Health Center. Authorities recovered four other individuals, while a search is ongoing to find other missing fishermen. Morocco launched an investigation to determine the circumstances of the fishing boat crash. This is not the first time a tragic accident has happened on Tarfaya’s coast. In January 2019, authorities rescued 30 fishermen aboard a boat that started to sink off the city’s shores.

This is the revised Cupra Leon, now wearing bronze badges and with no Seat branding, following on from the bespoke Cupra Formentor model that really hits a mark. Not sure whether this does, though. This test car is a performance plug-in hybrid (PHEV) variant, with 242bhp and 295lb ft, featuring a 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol mated to an electric motor. With a 12.8kWh battery, it has a pure electric range of 31 miles, and you can set the minimum level it’ll discharge to, in case you want to save some juice for a zero-emissions zone. The drive units both sit under the bonnet and it’s front-wheel drive Also front drive, incidentally, will be 242bhp and 296bhp 2.0-litre turbo pure-petrol units. And then the 2.0-litre 306bhp engine and four-wheel drive system as tested in the Formentor will also be available in the Cupra Leon, but in the estate version only rather than in this hatchback. The Cupra Leon sits 25mm lower at the front and 20mm lower at the rear than the regular Seat Leon, for a lower centre of gravity. There are struts at the front and a multi-link set-up at the rear, and big 370mm brake discs behind 19in rims and 235/35 R19 Goodyear Eagle F1s. All quite sporty. What's it like? I’m not sure yet whether it's down to this car’s powertrain, or whether the wider Cupra Leon line-up will share this car’s characteristics, but it’s curiously unsatisfying. I can’t remember the last time I drove a car and struggled to work it out as much as I have this one. Let’s start with the good bits. The Leon steers rather nicely, with smoothness and linearity, good accuracy and the kind of natural response that’s easy to warm to. There is a bit of torque steer but it’s slight and that’s not surprising, considering the instant energy of the motor, whose soundtrack – given the engine is sometimes off – is augmented with a gruff electro backbeat played over whatever the actual drivetrain is making, depending on the drive mode. Sometimes that’s not unappealing. To imagine it, think of a Fiat 500 TwinAir mixed with some digital overlay and amplified. I imagine it could get wearing. From that point onwards, it’s all more baffling still. The ride is sometimes compliant, rounding off the worst edges with only the occasional thump, but it also feels heavy and wooden, with a curious diagonal pitch on motorway curves. It’s not engaging like you might imagine a hot hatch should be, and it seems to feel every ounce and more of its 1596kg kerb weight. The claimed weight distribution is only 56% to the front, which is reasonable, given how much is up there. The interior is pretty good, though, if you don’t mind bronzing. It feels well assembled, and although as usual there’s too much for the touchscreen to do, it’s well appointed and the seats and driving position are particularly good. Should I buy one? I'm not totally convinced. I’m not entirely sure what the Cupra Leon is trying to be. If it’s a hot hatchback, then it’s not engaging or agile enough, and if it’s just a quick PHEV, then it’s closer to the mark but still dynamically unsettled to the point that it’s not relaxed enough in daily driving. Perhaps an internally combusted Leon will be better and, if so, that’s a shame: it’s time we had an affordable ‘hot’ PHEV that was fun to drive. With its own distinct model elsewhere in the shape of the Formentor, Cupra has now arrived as a brand. But I’m still not entirely sure what it is.

The forward hinted that he wants to play for Portugal at the 2022 World Cup as he dismissed the importance of age to his success. Cristiano Ronaldo indicated he has no plans to retire by saying he hopes to play on for "many, many years" despite preparing to turn 36 in February. The Juventus forward has shown no signs of slowing his goal output, finishing the 2019-20 season with 31 goals and a second Serie A title before firing in 12 in 10 league appearances this term. In 2020 he became the fourth player in the history of Italy's top flight to score 33 goals in a calendar year after Omar Sivori (33 in 1961), Gunnar Nordahl (36 in 1950) and Felice Borel (41 in 1933). That tally puts him top of the goalscoring charts in Europe's top five leagues this year, ahead of The Best FIFA Men's Player award winner Robert Lewandowski (32). Portugal captain Ronaldo will be 37 by the time the 2022 World Cup kicks off in Qatar but hinted that he intends to be there. "It doesn't matter the age. What is important is the mind," Ronaldo told BBC Sport , after being named Player of the Century at the Globe Soccer Awards this week. "It doesn't matter if Cristiano Ronaldo is good, you don't know tomorrow what is going to happen. I live in the present, in the moment. "The moment is good, I feel happy, I feel sharp and in a good moment in my life. I hope to play many, many years more but you never know." Ronaldo scored a brace in Juventus' 3-0 win over Barcelona in the Champions League on December 8 and followed it up with doubles in Serie A victories over Genoa and Parma – either side of missing a penalty in a draw against Atalanta. Despite his impressive form, the Bianconeri are sixth in the table, 10 points behind league leaders AC Milan, and Ronaldo admitted the absence of fans at the Allianz Stadium frustrated him. "I don't like to play in the stadiums without fans, it's like going to the circus but you don't see clowns," Ronaldo said. "The pandemic has made people crazy. I hope soon they can open the gates of the stadiums. "We have to live with that, we have to try to do a normal life but of course we have to respect the rules. But to play without the fans, I really don't like it."

Rabat – Morocco’s Ministry of Education has decided to cancel local exams for sixth and ninth graders. The decision is due to the country’s COVD-19 epidemiological situation, the ministry said. The ministry, which announced the move earlier today, noted the decision seeks to ensure the safety of students and teachers. The final exams were expected to take place in the third week of January. Minister of Education Saaid Amzazi said earlier this month that the education and health ministries had identified a total of 13,619 cases of COVID-19 among students, teachers, technical, and administrative personnel in Morocco. Amzazi said at the time that the infection rate did not exceed 0.06% among students and 3% among educational, administrative, and technical staff. But with a pronounced increase in COVID-19 figures in recent weeks, the number of schools closed since the start of the academic year reached 468, including 107 private schools that host 270,000 students. In March, Morocco suspended schools after the outbreak of COVID-19 in the country, adopting remote education methods in the 2019-2020 school season. The country also adjourned some of the final exams, which took place later than their regular schedules. Morocco encouraged remote learning for the 2020-2021 academic year but provided parents and students with in-person education options. The country is still struggling to bring the COVID-19 pandemic under control. The Ministry of Health reports thousands of COVID-19 cases and dozens of deaths daily. To date, Morocco’s health authorities have confirmed 437,332 COVID-19 cases, 7,355 deaths, and 405,251 recoveries.
