Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Mesut Ozil has reached an out-of-court settlement worth an undisclosed sum in a civil case with his father, according to reports in Germany.
The Arsenal midfielder was taken to court by his father Mustafa after the German World Cup winner sacked him as managing director of his marketing company Ozil Marketing GmbH last year.
Mustafa claimed his son owed him €630,000 (£494,000) for a loss of earnings because of the dismissal, and he initially refused to pay out.
During the past year, Mesut’s affairs have been run by his brother Mutlu.
German newspaper Bild have claimed that the feud was started because Mustafa split up with Mesut's mother Gulizar.
The Gunners' player, who signed from Real Madrid in a club-record £42.5m deal in September 2013, is currently sidelined with a knee injury, and is set to return to action in January at the earliest.
