'Zero to hero' best charts the rapid rise to widespread acclaim of Toyota's Gazoo Racing. From its 2019 start with the Toyota GR Supra to the astonishing Toyota GR Yaris that followed in 2020 and then the sublime Toyota GR86 coupé, it has earned our love and respect for its unique way of consistently nailing the affordable sports car brief. This year, it has continued expanding its portfolio with the launch of an ultra-niche manual version of the GR Supra, but now it's time for its headline act: the Toyota GR Corolla. Looking every inch a rally refugee, the hot hatch packs the mightiest of visual punches. From its flared arches, scoops, intakes, vents and ducts to its intricate aero measures, there is nothing fake about it, and everything serves the single purpose of going very fast indeed. It comes in Core, Circuit and Morizo specifications, this hardcore third option demonstrating just how far Toyota's black ops have come. It bins the back seats and banishes luxuries such as rear electric windows, speakers and even the tailgate wiper to remove around 30kg from the standard car's portly 1470kg kerb weight. Add in a special set of lighter 18in rims, a closer-ratio manual gearbox and optionally two Torsen differentials with shorter gearing for more explosive acceleration and, suddenly, you realise just how special and serious GR is in its bid to create the hottest hatch of all time. Which makes it all the more frustrating that none of the three GR Corollas will make it to the UK. The exact reason why is unclear. One suit told us it's because Brits already get the GR Yaris, which better “connects” with us. Another hinted that emission rules might have been to blame. But whatever the reason, it seems cruel to deny one of the world's biggest hot hatch markets this Toyota. With that in mind, we decided to torture ourselves anyway and see what we're missing by driving the GR Corolla at its American launch. Before adopting any hardware from the GR Yaris, the Corolla body had to be stiffened for this role. It gets a further 349 spot welds plus an additional 2.7 metres’ worth of structural adhesive to more rigidly bond its panels to the chassis. The Morizo gets even more glue (6.1m) and two extra strut-tower supports. The 1.6-litre turbo three-cylinder engine has also been boosted from 260bhp to 300bhp. (Torque remains the same, at 273lb ft.) The Morizo gets no more horses but does muster a more generous 295lb ft. Beneath the skin, there are struts up front and a multi-link rear suspension, both modified from the GR Yaris. The bigger car also sports bespoke springs and dampers, plus further uprated monotube-style dampers on the Morizo. In normal mode, Gazoo’s excellent GT-Four system splits torque 60:40 front to rear. Twist the dial to Sport and that changes to 30:70, or stab the button atop it for perfect 50:50. Aside from the new sports seats, steering wheel and gearlever, the Corolla cabin is largely untouched – which isn't a bad thing. What is irritating, though, is that you’re perched far too high (although it's unavoidable without redesigning crash structures and re-homologating the car). The control weights are pleasingly evenly matched – evidence that it was developed by people who care. Open the throttle and, despite the new exhaust, the Gazoo three-pot still sounds like the engine from a cheap Aygo, which is amusing, if not representative of the performance on tap. In normal driving, the valve for the large central pipe remains closed for quieter cruising, but flatten the throttle and, once you’re past 4500rpm, it opens wide. The resulting cacophony isn't especially inspiring, but the pace is. Up until 3000rpm, you question the claimed sub-5.0sec sprint time – at least until you find a favourite country road (or better still, a track). Then you simply don't care. As with its smaller sibling, the levels of grip and traction and the confidence that it endows you with are phenomenal. However, although it stuns you with how much speed you can carry through corners, the GR Corolla isn't that adjustable or as agile as the 200kg-lighter GR Yaris. That's because engineers claim they set the bigger car up to have a very different character, trading nimbleness for great stability. We've levelled similar criticisms before at the GR Yaris. We wish both cars were a little more involving and engaging at road speeds, because on track the GR Corolla is an absolute riot. Whether you prefer fast and precise or favour to live out your WRC fantasy, trail-brake, left-foot brake, turn-in too hot, big lifts mid-corner or even use the handbrake (that instantly disconnects drive to the rear axle), the GR Corolla doesn’t just cope but also encourages you to have fun and fool around, with the chassis always seemingly on your side. Climb into the Morizo version and you appreciate the more supportive buckets, then the increased urge lower down – although this is disguised initially, because its torque peaks 250rpm higher. It also curbs any hint of understeer, with its 10mm-wider Michelin Cup 2 tyres. The enhanced precision is still accompanied by the standard version's playful nature; it's just that any slide now occurs at quite a few more MPH. For most, the Circuit will provide all the thrills you could ever need while also providing just enough space for friends and family – something the cramped and compromised GR Yaris just can't. It's a crying shame that we will never see it. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/first-drives/toyota-gr-corolla-2022-review

President Volodymyr Zelensky has been to the recaptured city of Izyum, a key logistics hub in north-eastern Ukraine. During his visit, Mr Zelensky thanked troops who took part in the counter-attack against Russian occupiers. He oversaw a flag-raising ceremony and said the Ukrainian flag would return to every city and village in the country. Ukrainian officials say they are targeting towns in the eastern Donbas region after making a series of gains in a rapid counter-offensive. In recent days, Ukraine's army has reclaimed swathes of occupied territory, forcing Russian troops to retreat. In a late evening address on Tuesday, Mr Zelensky said his forces were fortifying their hold over 8,000 sq km (3,088 sq miles) of retaken territory in the Kharkiv region. Last Thursday, President Zelensky said Ukrainian forces had retaken 1,000 sq km. By Sunday, Ukraine's figure had tripled to 3,000 sq km, before rising again to 6,000 sq km. The precise scale of Ukraine's gains has not been verified by the BBC. Mr Zelensky vowed to take back all Ukrainian territory still occupied by Russian forces - he said he did not know when this would happen, but that "truth is on our side". Meanwhile, the Russian military is deploying so-called barrier troops in Ukraine to prevent its own units from fleeing, according to Ukrainian military intelligence. Ukrainian defence officials said that according to intercepted conversations, "panic" and "refusals to fight" are setting in among Russian troops. Elsewhere in Ukraine, officials accused Russian forces of targeting civilian infrastructure in the southern city of Kryvyi Rih on Wednesday. Cruise missiles fired at the city's "hydraulic structures" caused water levels in a nearby river to rise and threatened local drinking supplies, Ukrainian authorities said. Responding to the attack, Mr Zelensky described Russia as a "terrorist state" that was trying to "flood Kryvyi Rih". "All the occupiers can do is to sow panic, create an emergency situation, try to leave people without light, heat, water and food. Can it break us? Not at all. Will they face a fair response and retribution? Definitely yes," the Ukrainian president said. Putin does not see Ukraine war as mistake - Scholz In the US, President Biden said Ukraine had made "significant" gains. He said it was "clear" that the advance had enjoyed success, but cautioned that the offensive "could be a long haul". While Russia still controls around a fifth of Ukraine's territory, towns in the Donbas that fell early in the war are now the focus of Kyiv's advancing forces. After failing to capture cities across the country, including the capital, Kyiv, Russia is focusing on the Donbas - parts of which were already under the control of Russian-backed rebels before Russia launched its invasion this year. Andrey Marochko, military commander of the self-declared Luhansk People's Republic - one of two regions that make up the Donbas - told Russian state media that fighting had reached the borders of the territory. And Serhiy Haidai, the exiled Ukrainian head of the Luhansk region, said Ukrainian forces were engaging Russian troops on the outskirts of Lyman. "There are fierce battles in Lyman now, which I think will last a few more days," Mr Haidai said in a Telegram post. Accounts of Russian torture emerge in liberated areas Shock and joy in newly liberated villages A successful surprise attack - but danger still looms Lyman fell to Russian forces after a protracted battle at the end of May. It sits less than 150 km (93 miles) away from the city of Donetsk, the capital of the self-declared Donetsk People's Republic. Its capture was a coup for Russian troops, giving Moscow control over a key east-west highway. In other areas, Ukrainian forces are said to have reached the Russian border, and Mr Hayday said their capture of two towns - Izyum and Kupiansk - could see supply lines to the Russian-held cities of Severodonetsk and Lysychansk severed. As Kyiv's forces move into previously occupied areas, allegations of Russian war crimes have started to emerge. Locals in the town of Balakliya told the BBC that Russian troops had tortured civilians at the town's police station during their occupation, while others recounted being electrocuted while in detention. The Kremlin has admitted that its forces have left some eastern towns, but refused to call it a retreat, instead insisting that its forces were regrouping. On Monday, Moscow insisted that it would press on with its invasion "until all the goals that were originally set are achieved But the pace of the Ukrainian advance appears to have taken Russian forces by surprise, with reports of some of Moscow's forces abandoning their uniforms to blend in with civilians. In some areas, Russian teachers who moved to Ukrainian towns and cities after Moscow seized control were left behind by the retreating troops. An unspecified number have now been detained by Ukrainian forces and Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk has warned that they will face charges. Meanwhile, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz urged Russian President Vladimir Putin to re-enter negotiations with Ukraine as soon as possible during a 90-minute phone call on Tuesday. A German government read-out of the call said Mr Scholz urged Mr Putin "to find a diplomatic solution as soon as possible, based on a ceasefire, a complete withdrawal of Russian troops and respect for the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine". https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-62899474

he majority of political parties was waiting to see the text of the political reform proposed by the National Government. The Minister of the Interior, Alfonso Prada, finally filed it this Tuesday, September 13. EL TIEMPO had anticipated some details of the changes that they wish to make in the country's political system. The project ultimately did not include the creation of an Electoral Court. These are some of the key points included in the text that seeks to modify articles 40, 107,108, 109,172, 177, 181 and 262 of the Political Constitution. Limitations of political rights With the exception of the sanction of loss of investiture, the limitations of the political rights of individuals may only be issued by a competent judicial authority in criminal proceedings. This subsection would be added at the end of article 40 of the Constitution. As EL TIEMPO had anticipated, this aspect would result, for example, in a body such as the Attorney General's Office not being able to limit political rights to mayors, as happened in the last electoral campaign. (In other news: Gustavo Petro will ask Venezuela to be a guarantor of eventual negotiation with Eln) It would lower the age to be senator and representative One of the modifications that it includes is that to be a senator it would no longer be necessary to be at least thirty years old, but rather twenty-five. In the case of representatives, it would not be required to be over twenty-five years old, but rather to be over eighteen years of age on the date of the election. Will congressmen be able to change parties? This newspaper had anticipated that among the most controversial proposals of the initiative was the 'transfuguismo', that is, the possibility that the congressmen change their party or political movement in a certain time. The modification was established as follows: "Whoever, being a member of a public corporation, decides to run for the next election, for a different party, must resign from the seat at least twelve (12) months before the first day of registration." "Within the two months following the entry into force of this legislative act, the members of the Collegiate Bodies of po[CENSORED]r election, or those who have renounced their seats prior to the validity of this act, are authorized once legislative, to enroll in a party other than the one that endorsed them, without giving up the seat or incurring double militancy", they clarify. https://www.eltiempo.com/politica/gobierno/reforma-politica-fue-radicada-en-el-congreso-que-cambios-propone-702087

Some tropical flowers reflect sound so that nectar-seeking bats find them more easily. Excerpt from the March issue of National Geographic magazine in Spanish. Photographs of Merlin D. Tuttle The ingenuity of nature knows no limits. Consider the case of the nectar-drinking bat and the night-blooming plant, whose lives intertwine in the lowland jungles of Central America. Glossophaga commissarisi, a tiny, winged mammal with a body no larger than a thumb, flutters among Mucuna holtonii flowers, lapping up nectar in a similar way to hummingbirds and bees. In return, it pollinates the plant. During the day, the flowers can show off their richness with brilliant colors like scarlet and fuchsia, but at night, when even the brightest hues pale before the silvery moonlight, Mucuna flowers resort to structures acoustic to attract the attention of bats seeking nectar. At La Selva Biological Station in northern Costa Rica, a vigorous ancient Mucuna wove a roof of leaves over a jungle clearing, letting dozens of flowers dangle from long, green stems. At sunset, the plant's cocoons get ready for the bats. First, the topmost green petal covering a bud slowly opens vertically to rise above the flower like a gleaming beacon. Beneath the headlamp-petal, two small lateral petals unfold to reveal an opening in the sheath. Bats use high frequency sound as a tool. With their vocal cords they emit quick, small sonic bursts through their nostrils or snouts, shaping airwaves and allowing them to interpret the changing patterns that bounce back to their sensitive ears. The information they receive is processed rapidly and continuously, allowing them to change their course mid-flight as they sprint after a mosquito or soar through flowering trees. Most bats feed on insects; they often use powerful long-range calls produced by the upward movement of their wings. Nectar-eating bats send out soft but sophisticated calls, known to scientists as frequency modulated. These calls trade distance for details. They are most effective at a range of four meters, sending back precise information about target size, shape, position, texture, angle, depth, and other qualities that only nectivore bats can interpret. Merlin Tuttle cut this flower to document how the bat's tongue sucks up nectar while the flower's anthers fill its forehead with pollen. no romance But this is not a love story. The force that moves the bat-flower alliance is not romance but the main objective of life: survival and reproduction. Exchanging nectar for pollination is a delicate transaction that presents a dilemma for plants. Night-bloomers do well to be thrifty with their nectar, because well-fed bats will visit fewer flowers, but if a plant is too stingy, the bat will seek service elsewhere. Over the millennia, bat-pollinated plants have developed an effective solution: They sidestep the problem of nectar quantity (and quality) by maximizing the bat's foraging efficiency. Thus, nocturnal flowering plants display their richness in positions exposed to flight so that bats can easily find them, drink from them and are protected from arboreal predators such as snakes or possums. They spice up the scent of their flowers with sulfur compounds: irresistible long-distance cues for nectivorous bats. Mucuna and other plants have gone one step further: they have shaped their flowers to attract the ear of bats. https://www.ngenespanol.com/naturaleza/llamado-flor/

The Purosangue is the most radical Ferrari yet, as the first four-seat four-door model to be graced by the Prancing Horse. Although its proportions and functionality are unprecedented for Ferrari, it has retained some of the brand’s fundamental features, having a front-mid-mounted V12 and being claimed to be “a true sports car”. Enrico Galliera, Ferrari’s marketing and commercial chief, said: “We believe it’s a game-changer. It has the performance of a sports car with the comfort and versatility of a less extreme car. For us, the strategy was to develop a sports car in a different segment.” While Ferrari has a long history with 2+2 cars, most recently with the Roma, this is the first time a four-door model with four fully sized seats has made production. The only previous four-door badged as a Ferrari was a Pininfarina-designed concept car of 1980, named the Pinin, which company founder Enzo Ferrari reportedly liked but never signed off. Ferrari refuses to describe the Purosangue as an SUV, but the car’s proportions and functionality are very much intended for this segment – one in which Ferrari until now has been markedly absent while rivals such as Aston Martin, Lamborghini and Porsche have forged ahead to capitalise on the ever-growing worldwide po[CENSORED]rity of SUVs. The Purosangue is 4973mm long, 2028mm wide and 1589mm tall (compared with 5112mm, 2016mm and 1638mm for the Lamborghini Urus). Along with its 185mm of ground clearance, that puts it very much in SUV territory. It is also four-wheel drive. Ferrari has held true to its heritage, employing its revered V12 in the Purosangue. The naturally aspirated 12-cylinder engine is a heavily reworked version of that used in the 812 Superfast, with a 65deg angle between cylinder banks, a 6.5-litre capacity, a dry sump and high-pressure direct fuel injection. It has been developed for the Purosangue to ensure that maximum torque is available at lower revs to counter the extra weight of an SUV while not losing the linear power typical of Ferrari’s V12s. The engine is mounted behind the front axle, while the eight-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox sits at the rear, creating a sporty transaxle layout. This helps deliver the 49:51 front-to-rear weight distribution that Ferrari engineers deem optimum for a front-mid-engined sports car. The Purosangue becomes the most powerful SUV on sale, with its maximum power of 715bhp arriving at 7750rpm and its torque peaking at 528lb ft at 6250rpm. In line with Ferrari’s claim that the Purosangue is a “true sports car”, it achieves the benchmark sprint of 0-62mph in just 3.3sec and 0-124mph in 10.6sec. Galliera said there were many discussions about which powertrain to use, but he believed the V12 was the right one: “It’s the most iconic engine in the company. We’re looking for extreme performance combined with comfort. And for as long as customers have been asking for this car, they’ve been asking for us to keep the history of Ferrari, and that is the V12.” At the Purosangue’s unveiling in Italy, Ferrari declined to talk about other powertrain options, but it’s also expected to use either the V6 plug-in hybrid powertrain of the 296 GTB or the V8 equivalent from the SF90 Stradale in future electrified guises. The Purosangue’s new platform, which Ferrari said was created from scratch, is designed to cater primarily for a V12, but adapting it for other powertrains would “not be very hard”, according to product boss Gianmaria Fulgenzi. The platform consists of aluminium alloy in its lower structure, while the car has a carbonfibre roof as standard to reduce weight and lower its centre of gravity. The result is a platform that’s lighter than previous four-seat Ferraris’, despite being larger overall. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/ferrari-purosangue-715bhp-v12-super-suv

In north-eastern Ukraine, a counter-offensive has seen the nation's forces recapture swathes of territory, and drive out Russian troops. But in the newly-liberated areas, relief and sorrow are intertwined - as accounts emerge of torture and killings during the long months of Russian occupation. Artem, who lives in the city of Balakliya in the Kharkiv region told the BBC he was held by Russians for more than 40 days, and was tortured with electrocution. Balakliya was liberated on 8 September after being occupied for more than six months. The epicentre of the brutality was the city's police station, which Russian forces used as their headquarters. Artem said he could hear screams of pain and terror coming from other cells. The occupiers made sure the cries could be heard, he said, by turning off the building's noisy ventilation system. "They turned it off so everyone could hear how people scream when they are shocked with electricity," he told us. "They did this to some of the prisoners every other day... They even did this to the women". And they did it to Artem, though in his case only once. "They made me hold two wires," he said. "There was an electric generator. The faster it went, the higher the voltage. They said, 'if you let it go, you are finished'. Then they started asking questions. They said I was lying, and they started spinning it even more and the voltage increased." Artem told us he was detained because the Russians found a picture of his brother, a soldier, in uniform. Another man from Balakliya was held for 25 days because he had the Ukrainian flag, Artem said. A school principal called Tatiana told us she was held in the police station for three days and also heard screams from other cells. We visited the police station, and saw the Lord's Prayer scratched on the wall of one of the cramped cells, alongside markings to indicate how many days had passed. Ukrainian police officers say as many as eight men were held in cells intended for two people. They say locals were scared to even pass the station when the Russians were in charge, in case they were grabbed by Russian soldiers. In Balakliya's city centre, where the Ukrainian flag flies again, crowds gathered around a small truck carrying food supplies. Many in the queue were elderly and looked exhausted, but there were happy reunions too as friends embraced each other for the first time since the Russians were driven out. Just a short walk away at the end of a lonely laneway, some of their victims lie hastily buried by their neighbours. A crude wooden cross marked the makeshift grave of a taxi driver called Petro Shepel. His passenger - whose identity is still unknown - lies next to him. The stench of death filled the air as the police exhumed their remains, and zipped them into body bags. The authorities say the two men were shot near a Russian checkpoint on the last day of the occupation. Petro's mother, Valentyna, looked on as the bodies were exhumed, and she railed against the Russians who killed her only son. "I want to ask Putin, why did he shoot and kill my son?" she cried. "What for? Who asked him to come here with such threatening weapons? Not only did he kill our children, but he killed us, their mothers. "These days I am a dead woman. And I want to address all mothers of the world: rebel against that assassin." Shock and joy in Ukraine's liberated villages Will Ukraine's advance have consequences for Putin? A successful surprise attack - but danger looms On the road to Balakliya, we saw military vehicles marked with the pro-war "Z" symbol - apparently abandoned by the Russians as they fled. In a nearby village, we were shown the extensive damage to the school. Local authorities said this was one of the last acts of destruction before the Russians were driven out. Standing in the ruins, the regional head of Kharkiv, Oleh Syniehubov, said the critical task now was to restore water and electricity supplies, but there are concerns the power lines could be mined. Asked by the BBC if he thought the Russians could return he replied: "We are in war, there is always danger". https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-62888388
