Germany's Audi has abandoned plans to sell its Italian motorcycle brand Ducati  its chief executive Rupert Stadler said  in a sign of confidence that the carmaker expects to be able to carry the costs of its transformation.
Steps to reduce costs by 10 billion euros ($11.8 billion)  cut red tape and deepen ties with fellow Volkswagen-owned brand Porsche are "gradually increasing our financial and organizational leeway for the strategic realignment " chief executive  Rupert Stadler  told reporters.
There is  therefore  no economic need to sell Ducati   Stadler  said. Volkswagen asked banks to evaluate options for Ducati and transmissions maker Renk earlier this year as seeks to become more nimble in its shift towards electric and self-driving cars following its diesel emissions cheating scandal.
"I can assure you that Ducati belongs to the Audi family " said  Stadler . "Ducati is the perfect implementation of our premium philosophy in the world of motorbikes."
While pushing the costly shift to zero-emissions and autonomous technologies  holding on to the profitable Ducati division and the lucrative Lamborghini brand has become more important   Stadler  said.
"Looking after a premium bouquet is as difficult as the work of a gardener "  Stadler  said. "Therefore I am pleased with every new flower  with every promising new branch " he added  predicting Lamborghini's sales would double on the back of its new sport-utility vehicle.
Separately   Stadler  said Audi will spend nearly half a billion euros over the next eight years on training staff for the digital age  with steps to develop as well as hire experts such as automotive app-designers and car robotics specialists.
Audi CEO drops plan to sell motorcycle brand Ducati

Itâs not as if fake news in America came into existence alongside the tide known as the Trump presidencyâthe hucksters  foreign propagandists  conspiracy theorists  and fabricators have always been hereâbut if ever there was a year when purposefully misleading or false stories hit their stride  2017 might have been it.  We  were told that an ISIS leader was captured at a US airport  and that Shariah law was instituted in Utah and other states. A study found that 25 million votes for Hillary Clinton were âcompletely fraudulent â and the Las Vegas massacre was carried out by antifa  or ISIS  or the Illuminati  or somehow all three. The lies went on and on  picking up where 2016âs catalogue of nonsense left off. (Remember Hillary Clintonâs child sex trafficking ring run out of a pizzeria  or Sarah Palin banning Muslims from âenteringâ her daughter? How about Alec Baldwin dying  and Trump winning the electoral vote and the popular vote?)
But now  we âre at the dawn of a fresh year  privy to the forces that seek to sow confusion and outrage. Can American society overcome the fake news phenomenon?
Wellâ¦ âThereâs probably a strong case to be made that  we  are chemically addicted to fake news â says  Amy Webb   an author and futurist who founded the Future Today Institute. âWhen youâre seeing your angers and fears and anxieties being validated externally  you get a shot of dopamine.â Thinking about the upcoming year and beyond   she  says   we  may have âa huge problem on  our  hands.â And though the propaganda is coming at  us  from all directionsâfrom Kremlin-backed misinformation campaigns and Twitter troll armies to publicity hounds and political malcontentsâfalling for it  and spreading it  is to some degree our own fault.
In the spring of 2017   Webb  wrote a piece for Mother Jones that detailed not only the manner of 21st-century fake news and the speed with which it travels  but also how we are all accomplices to its proliferation âas we click and repost without considering the storyâs source and its agenda.â  She  noted that the democratization of the internet back in the 1990s meant that âeveryone would get to participate regardless of their agendas.â Information became free and free-flowing. But  problematically  âwe didnât plan ahead as the internet matured â when consumers of information were left to contend with not only âhuman arbiters of factsâ but also code and algorithms that propel certain types of content to the fore  based on our own online behavior. Innocently sharing a cat video put out by Russia Today  a Kremlin-backed propaganda machine that elevates fringe âexpertsâ and attempts to sow distrust  means youâll see a lot more of their content in the future.
Complicating matters more is that in our politicized climate  the term fake news itself came to mean different things to different people. It had a literal meaning that  seemingly overnight  became a hashtag and an epithet to hurl at anything or anyone that one disagrees with. âIf we canât even come to some kind of convergence and talk about something as insidious and as threatening to our future as the spread of misinformationâotherwise known as fake news in the literal senseâthen donât we have sort of a catastrophically huge problem on our hands?â asks  Webb .
As someone who studies current and past trends to try to anticipate what the future may hold   Webb  likes to end these conversations with a reminder that  for however doomed things appear  âWe are not living in the middle of Westworldâthe future has not been preordained. There is something we can do in the year 2018 and beyond  and that is be smarter consumers of news.â

Democrat Jon Ossoff might win next Tuesday 's special congressional election in Georgia , but he 's already accomplished something nearly as impressive -- forcing Mitt Romney to come to President Donald Trump 's defense . 
In a fundraising email for Ossoff 's opponent , Republican Karen Handel , Romney asked for help to defend Trump 's agenda from the Democrats : . 
Romney called Trump a "phony" and a "fraud" during the 2016 presidential campaign , and he declined to endorse the Republican nominee . 
Last month , Romney called on Trump to abandon his promise to pull the US out of the Paris climate agreement . 
But Ossoff , a center-left Democrat running in a district Trump barely carried , has apparently compelled Romney to come back into the fold .
