WorkYounger Drivers No Longer Want Engines In Their Cars, Says Rolls-Royce CEO On that, Müller-Ötvös ends our conversation with a stat that demonstrates better than most how Rolls-Royce ownership has shifted. “When I joined 12 years ago, 80 percent of our clients were chauffeured and 20 percent were behind the wheel.

Qatar Airways is suing the European planemaker in a UK court for $1 billion in damages after grounding about two dozen of its A350s experiencing the flaws, which it says raise safety concerns - something Airbus and European regulators deny. Until now, Qatar Airways has appeared broadly isolated in the dispute as other airlines continue to fly the jets, though the Gulf carrier has won some public encouragement from global airlines association IATA and rival Gulf carrier Emirates.

With lithium currently priced at $60,000 a ton, Goldman sees that slipping 10% to $54,000 later this year -- a pothole that precedes a bigger fall off a cliff.

WorkRobinson's injury puts USMNT depth to the test Left-back has been a position cited by Berhalter as one where there aren\'t many options behind presumed starter Antonee Robinson. Joe Scally looks to be a candidate given his ability to play outside-back or wing-back on either side -- during the past season with Borussia Monchengladbach he even had a brief spell at center-back -- but so far (and yes, it\'s early in camp) Scally has lined up on the right side of the U.S. defense.
