A new deal has been reached, which cements Lachlan Murdoch’s power to run his father’s multi-billion-dollar media empire. After bitter family and court battles over the family trust, a new settlement has now been reached with Rupert Murdoch’s eldest son taking the reins and his siblings Prudence, Elisabeth and James cutting ties with the family business.

In this episode of The Briefing, Natarsha Belling is joined by journalist Calum Jaspan to discuss the latest twist in this Succession-like drama and what it means for the future of the Murdoch empire.

Headlines: A boat carrying Greta Thunberg heading to Gaza has allegedly been hit by a drone, ANZ to slash thousands of jobs, and another twist in the Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump saga.
