"On Crutches": Günther Jauch shows up with walking aids

In a quiet resolution, the Murdoch family has settled a succession dispute over Rupert Murdoch's media empire. The details of the settlement, however, remain undisclosed. This development contrasts sharply with the political uproar caused by an alleged letter from former President Donald Trump to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The copy of the handwritten letter, reportedly sent on the occasion of Epstein's birthday, was handed over to the US Congress by the lawyers managing Epstein’s estate. The Wall Street Journal was the first to publish the letter, which was later released by the House Oversight Committee in early September 2025 as part of Epstein’s 238-page "birthday book." The letter was then posted online by Democrats.

The letter's publication has caused a significant stir in politics, with the Democrats using it to further scrutinise Trump's ties with Epstein. It is important to note that the Murdoch family is not directly related to the Trump-Epstein letter controversy.

Meanwhile, the media world mourns the passing of Horst Krause, a beloved actor known for his role as the likable village cop in the Brandenburg "Polizeiruf." Krause's significant role in the series resonated with millions of viewers.

Interestingly, Rupert Murdoch's inheritance plan for his media empire bears a resemblance to the TV series "Succession." Despite the intrigue surrounding the succession plan, it has not caused a stir in politics, unlike the Trump-Epstein letter.

Rupert Murdoch's prevailing in the inheritance plan ensures the continuity of his media empire, but the specifics of the plan remain undisclosed. As the media landscape continues to evolve, so too will the stories that shape it.
