VILNIUS, Lithuania (AP) — The United States says it is lifting sanctions on Belarusian potash in the latest sign of a thaw between Washington and the isolated autocracy.
The United States says it is lifting sanctions on Belarusian potash in the latest sign of a thaw between Washington and the isolated autocracy.
John Coale, the U.S. special envoy for Belarus, made the announcement after meeting the country’s authoritarian leader Alexander Lukashenko in the Belarusian capital of Minsk on Friday and Saturday.

A close ally of Russia, Minsk has faced Western isolation and sanctions for years. Lukashenko has ruled the nation of 9.5 million with an iron fist for more than three decades, and the country has been repeatedly sanctioned by Western countries both for its crackdown on human rights and for allowing Moscow to use its territory in the invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
Speaking with journalists, Coale described the two-day talks as “very productive,” Belarus’ state news agency Belta reported Saturday.
The U.S. envoy said that normalizing relations between Washington and Minsk was “our goal.”
“We’re lifting sanctions, releasing prisoners. We’re constantly talking to each other,” he said, according to Belta. He also said that the relationship between the countries was moving from “baby steps to more confident steps” as they increased dialogue.
The last time U.S. officials met with Lukashenko in September 2025, Washington announced easing some of the sanctions against Belarus while Mink released more than 50 political prisoners into Lithuania. Overall, Belarus released more than 430 political prisoners since July 2024, in what was widely seen as an effort at a rapprochement with the West.
Belarusian opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya told The Associated Press on Saturday that sanctions relief was part of a deal between Minsk and Washington, in which another large group of political prisoners in Belarus were expected to be released.
“The freeing of political prisoners means that Lukashenko understands the pain of Western sanctions and is seeking to ease them,” Tsikhanouskaya said.
She added: “But let’s not be naive: Lukashenko hasn’t changed his policies, his crackdown continues and he keeps on supporting Russia’s war against Ukraine. That’s why we need to be extremely cautious with any talk of sanctions relief, so that we don’t reinforce Russia’s war machine and encourage continued repressions.”
Tsikhnouskaya also described European Union sanctions against Belarusian potash fertilizers as far more painful for Minsk that those imposed by the U.S, saying that while easing U.S. sanctions could lead to the release of political prisoners, European sanctions should push for longterm, systemic changes in Belarus and the end of Russia’s war in Ukraine.
The latest round discussions also touched on Venezuela, as well as Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine, Belta said.
Coale told reporters that Lukashenko had given “good advice” on how to address the conflict, saying that Lukashenko and Russian President Vladimir Putin were “longtime friends” with “the necessary level of relationship to discuss such issues.”
“Naturally, President Putin may accept some advice and not others,” Coale said.

Android 17 could mimic this helpful iOS feature to reduce motion sickness

Android 17 may introduce a new feature called Motion Assist that could help reduce motion sickness in moving vehicles.
Many people avoid using their Android phones in moving vehicles due to motion sickness, a condition that can induce nausea, headaches, and dizziness. Motion sickness is believed to be caused by a sensory conflict; your eyes focus on a stationary object (the phone) while your inner ears signal that you are moving. Since people spend so much time as passengers, it’s a bummer that many can’t use their phones without feeling sick. Fortunately, Google is working on a new feature for Android 17 aimed at reducing this discomfort.
You’re reading the Authority Insights Newsletter, a weekly newsletter that reveals some new facet of Android that hasn’t been reported on anywhere else. If you’re looking for the latest scoops, the hottest leaks, and breaking news on Google’s Android operating system and other mobile tech topics, then we’ve got you covered.

Called Motion Cues, the feature mitigates this sensory mismatch by adding visual elements that mimic the vehicle’s movement. It places dots on the screen that shift in real-time based on data from your phone’s motion sensors. This simple yet incredibly useful trick effectively “moves” the screen with you, potentially solving motion sickness for many users.
If this feature sounds familiar, it’s because Google isn’t the pioneer here. While Apple’s Vehicle Motion Cues in iOS 18 might be better known, a free Android app implemented this idea back in 2018. Available for any phone running Android 7.0 or later, KineStop simply requires you to download it, grant the “display over other apps” permission, and tap start.
Why, then, must Google’s version wait for next year’s Android 17 update? It is a question we’ve grappled with since discovering evidence of Motion Cues in late 2024. According to our resident APK teardown specialist, Assemble Debug, the feature is fully functional but lies dormant in Google Play Services. However, it has a flaw that likely explains why Google is holding off on releasing it until a future OS release.
As shown in the screen recording above, the motion dots fail to appear over system elements like the Settings app, status bar, notifications, Quick Settings, lock screen, or volume panel. This happens because the current implementation relies on Android’s standard overlay API. For security reasons, Android prevents apps from drawing over these critical system components to stop malicious actors from tricking users into performing unintended actions. While this is a sensible security limitation, it reduces the effectiveness of Motion Cues.
Android 17 could address this by introducing a system-level Motion Cues API. Evidence found in the latest 2512 Android Canary release suggests this API transfers the rendering responsibility to SystemUI — the exact system app that manages the components where Motion Cues currently fail to appear.
Android now includes code — MotionCuesService, IMotionCuesCallback, MotionCuesData, and MotionCuesSettings — that allow a client application (in this case, Google Play Services) to define the X/Y coordinates, color, radius, and spacing of the dots. It then renders these dots on a privileged window layer via the startMotionCuesSession command. Effectively, Google Play Services determines the placement and look of the dots, while SystemUI handles the actual on-screen display.
To prevent third-party apps from cluttering the screen with unwanted dots, Android only allows apps holding the new DRAW_MOTION_CUES permission to use the API. This permission is restricted to privileged system apps or those signed by the platform certificate. SystemUI will only bind to services (BIND_MOTION_CUES_SERVICE) that meet this requirement, ensuring it ignores data from unauthorized third-party apps.
This dual-layer architecture bypasses the limitations of the overlay API, but because it relies on a new system API, it requires an OS upgrade. This would explain why Google hasn’t released the feature yet. Depending on Google’s roadmap, we could see this feature roll out in the third quarterly release of Android 16 or, more likely, in Android 17. While we don’t know Google’s plans for this feature, I’m personally betting on an Android 17 debut.
Hopefully, Google releases a version of this feature that’s compatible with existing devices. Despite the limitations with the overlay API, many would still find the current implementation useful. If Google doesn’t release the feature as is, though, users can always turn to KineStop as a reliable alternative.
When Google eventually launches the feature, it might debut as “Motion Assist” rather than “Motion Cues” to avoid accusations of copying Apple. Regardless of the name, we hope Google integrates it with the upcoming Transiting mode, which is designed to automate device settings for smoother commutes. Ideally, Transiting mode would trigger Motion Assist automatically, though the feature’s built-in vehicle detection might make that unnecessary.

There's Only One Way to Watch 'A Charlie Brown Christmas' for Free This Year—Here's How

We tell you where to stream the charming and melancholy Peanuts classic without paying a dime.
Since its 1965 debut, A Charlie Brown Christmas has entertained generations during the holiday season. No one foresaw that an animated special based on a newspaper comic strip would make millions of people laugh, hum along to its jazzy score, and absorb poignant lessons about Christmas and self-worth—for decades. A Charlie Brown Christmas isn’t available on traditional TV, but you can stream its heartwarming tale about rejecting consumerism and embracing loved ones for free. You just need the proper video streaming service and a comfy seat on Dec. 13 or 14. Here’s how to do it.Is ‘A Charlie Brown Christmas’ on Netflix?
No, A Charlie Brown Christmas isn’t on Netflix. You see, Apple scooped up the Peanuts rights to bring beloved specials to its video streaming service, including classics like It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown and A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. The company also commissioned new holiday-themed specials, such as Snoopy Presents: For Auld Lang Syne and Snoopy Presents: To Mom (and Dad), With Love. So, there’s only one place to watch the Charlie Brown specials, including A Charlie Brown Christmas: Apple TV.Can You Stream a ‘Charlie Brown Christmas’ for Free On Apple TV?
Yes, but with a caveat: you must watch the show on particular days. Normally, Apple TV costs $12.99 per month and includes a seven-day free trial. The trial lasts three months if you buy an iPad or iPhone. However, you can watch A Charlie Brown Christmas for free on Apple TV even if you aren’t a subscriber. Just create an account and log in to the service on Dec. 13 or 14. It’s that easy.Will ‘A Charlie Brown Christmas’ Air on Regular TV?
Nope. Unlike a few years ago, Apple will not let PBS broadcast the special live on TV. As with It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown and other Peanuts programming, it’s Apple TV or bust. This will likely be the case again next year. Still, keep an eye on PBS Video or another live TV streaming service just in case A Charlie Brown Christmas pops up elsewhere in the future. Can You Watch ‘A Charlie Brown Christmas’ With a VPN?
Browsing the internet with a VPN is one of the smartest ways to keep yourself safe online. However, many video streaming services don’t work with VPNs because spoofing your geographic location interferes with regional licensing deals. During our tests, we’ve been able to enjoy Apple TV without issue, even when connected to a VPN. That can always change in the future, but for now, a VPN won’t get in the way of your Charlie Brown streaming plans.Where Can You Stream the ‘Charlie Brown Christmas’ Soundtrack?
The music featured in the Peanuts specials is arguably just as iconic as the characters themselves. If you want to enjoy amazing jazz tunes by the talented Vince Guaraldi Trio, such as “Christmas Time Is Here” or “Linus and Lucy”, fire up a streaming music service. Top platforms, such as Apple Music, Spotify, and YouTube Music, let you enjoy Guaraldi’s classic compositions with just a few clicks.

Fishing and real estate have similarities, not just ‘the one that got away’

Fishing, at its core, is an exercise in patience.
I am penning this column from the bridge of a fishing charter.
Our oldest grandson is beside me, wide eyed, focused and convinced that fishing is the highest and best use of any waking moment. I am not entirely sure where his passion for the sport began, but I can say this with certainty: when I was his age, I loved to fish as well.
The difference is simple. I grew up roughly a thousand miles from the closest ocean. My angling adventures were confined to small freshwater creeks and quiet Midwestern lakes. The biggest variable was usually the weather, not whether a 12-pound yellowtail might decide to make your morning interesting.
You may be wondering what any of this has to do with commercial real estate. Indulge me for a moment while I draw a few parallels.
Fishing, at its core, is an exercise in patience.
You prepare your gear, choose your bait, study the water, and position yourself where the fish are most likely to be. After that, you wait.
Brokerage works the same way. We research the market, gather the right tools, identify promising targets, and then we work the phones and email lines with steady persistence. Sometimes the activity is nonstop. Other times the sea goes quiet and nothing seems to bite.
Successful fishermen and successful brokers share the same understanding. You cannot force a fish to take the hook and you cannot rush a deal that is not ready to happen.
Another similarity is the importance of reading the conditions.
Fishermen pay attention to tides, currents, water temperature, and the behavior of the birds above the surface. Brokers pay attention to interest rates, construction costs, vacancy levels and tenant demand.
Both professions require situational awareness because the environment affects the outcome more than most people realize. A fisherman who ignores the tide will come home empty handed. A broker who ignores the market will do the same.
There is also the matter of preparation.
On a fishing trip you tie knots, organize tackle, check fuel, pack food and make sure you have everything from sunscreen to a functional radio. In brokerage the preparation involves research, financial analysis, property tours, marketing materials, and countless conversations in advance of any signed agreement.
When the moment finally comes and a fish hits or a client is ready to move forward, preparation determines who lands the opportunity and who watches it swim away.
Finally, there is the thrill of the catch.
Whether a fish is on the line or a deal is in play, you feel the same surge of energy. Your focus sharpens. Your movements become precise. The stakes rise, but so does the satisfaction of knowing that your patience and preparation are paying off.
The best brokers and the best fishermen know that the reward is not only in the result. It is also in the process of showing up, putting in the work, and staying ready.
As my grandson reels in yet another bonito, I am reminded that fishing, like commercial real estate, is never about guaranteed outcomes. It is about persistence, awareness, and a willingness to cast again even when the last few attempts came up empty.
The ocean does not owe you a bite and the market does not owe you a deal. But if you prepare well, put yourself in the right waters, and keep your line in play, good things will happen.
That is as true out here on the Pacific as it is back at my desk in Southern California.

Markus Söder will beim Parteitag nett zur CDU sein. Er gibt sich als Kämpfer gegen die AfD. Doch die Unzufriedenheit mit ihm wächst. Und: eine Studie zu Gewalt in Kitas
Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz (CDU) ist am Samstag auf dem CSU-Parteitag in München zu Gast. Vorab hat CSU-Parteichef Markus Söder dem Bundeskanzler ungewöhnlich warme Worte gewidmet. “Es gibt niemanden, der die Union so zusammenhalten kann”, sagte der bayerische Ministerpräsident. Im Zentrum des Parteitags steht die Wahl des gesamten CSU-Vorstands, bei der sich Söder erneut als Parteivorsitzender zur Wiederwahl stellte. Mit 83,6 Prozent erzielte er am Freitagabend aber eins der schlechtesten Ergebnisse in der Geschichte der CSU. Lisa Caspari, Politikredakteurin der ZEIT, erklärt, warum Söder schwächelt, warum er freundlich zu Merz sein will und wie die CSU sich vor den Kommunalwahlen aufstellen will.
Eine neue Studie der Bertelsmann Stiftung und der Uni Gießen zeigt erhebliche Mängel beim Kinderschutz in deutschen Kitas. Ein Viertel des Kitapersonals berichtet, dass es häufig bis ständig pädagogisches Fehlverhalten gegenüber Kindern beobachtet habe. Nur rund 40 Prozent geben an, solche problematischen Situationen nie zu erleben. Die Universität Gießen hat dazu mehr als 20.000 Kitafachkräfte und Kitaleitungen zum Kinderschutz in ihrer Einrichtung befragt. Die Ergebnisse bestätigen frühere Hinweise, dass das Wohl der Kinder in vielen Einrichtungen nicht immer gewährleistet ist. Doch was genau gilt als “pädagogisches Fehlverhalten”? Und welches Ausmaß hat das Problem in Deutschland erreicht? Johanna Schoener ist Redakteurin im Familienressort der ZEIT. Im Podcast berichtet sie, was die Studie bedeutet und welche Faktoren am häufigsten zu Übergriffen führen.
Und sonst so? Wie Sie den Sozialstaat retten können.

Argentine football icon Lionel Messi arrived in Hyderabad for the second leg of his GOAT India Tour 2025 on Saturday evening,
Hyderabad: Argentine football icon Lionel Messi arrived in Hyderabad for the second leg of his GOAT India Tour 2025 on Saturday evening, after a chaotic start to the much-anticipated event in Kolkata.
The evening in the City of Nizams will begin with an exhibition match at 7.50 pm. Shortly after, Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi will make entry on to the pitch, followed by Messi, and then his Inter Miami teammates Rodrigo De Paul and Luis Suarez.
Earlier in the day, about 50,000 spectators, many of whom had paid Rs 4,000 to Rs 12,000 — and in some cases up to Rs 20,000 in the black market — watched helplessly as a swarm of politicians, VVIPs, security personnel, and assorted hangers more interested in selfies than crowd control surrounded Messi, leaving the fans at the Salt Lake Stadium angry.
Angry fans started the mayhem by hurling bottles — banned items in an otherwise sporting venue. It was baffling how they were allowed to enter with these objects, which also included food packets. Chairs were then ripped out and thrown.
Fibreglass seats lay smashed across the pitch and the synthetic track.

Elf Zimmer, Atelier und viel Natur: In diesem Haus fand Günter Grass Inspiration. Jetzt sucht das Anwesen in Schleswig-Holstein einen neuen Besitzer. Warum eine andere Nachnutzung zuvor scheiterte.
Stand: heute, 05:02 Uhr
Das frühere Wohnhaus von Literatur-Nobelpreisträger Günter Grass im schleswig-holsteinischen Behlendorf steht zum Verkauf. Ein Lübecker Maklerbüro bietet das Anwesen im Internet für 1,6 Millionen Euro zum Verkauf an. Grass lebte von 1986 bis zu seinem Tod 2015 in dem kleinen Ort im Kreis Herzogtum Lauenburg rund 50 Kilometer östlich von Hamburg. Sein Büro und sein Archiv mit den bildkünstlerischen Werken befinden sich seit Mitte der 1990er Jahre im heutigen Günter Grass-Haus in der Lübecker Altstadt. Zuvor hatten Medien berichtet.
Das Maklerbüro schreibt in seiner Anzeige, dass Grass in Behlendorf Inspiration und Ruhe gefunden habe. Er habe dort geschrieben, gemalt und die Natur beobachtet. „In seinen Texten beschreibt er den Garten, die Obstwiese und den Blick auf den Kanal – Orte, die bis heute ihre besondere Atmosphäre bewahrt haben. Dieses Anwesen ist damit nicht nur ein Zuhause, sondern ein Stück lebendige Kulturgeschichte.“
Das Haus verfügt über elf Zimmer auf 354 Quadratmetern und wurde demnach 1968/87 modernisiert. Es habe eine absolute Alleinlage. Das Grundstück, auf dem auch ein zweites als Gästehaus und Atelier gedachtes Gebäude stehe, wird mit einer Größe von 21.611 Quadratmetern angegeben.
Der Verkauf des Anwesens in Behlendorf widerspricht nach Angaben der Günter und Ute Grass Stiftung nicht dem gemeinsamen Testament des Nobelpreisträgers und seiner Frau. „Darin war festgelegt worden, dass bis zu fünf Jahre nach dem Tod des Letztverstorbenen des Paars nach einer Verwendung als kultureller Begegnungsstätte gesucht werden solle“, sagte die Geschäftsführerin der Stiftung, Hilke Ohsoling, dpa. Entsprechende Bemühungen seien leider bis zuletzt ohne positives Ergebnis geblieben.
Grass starb 2015, seine Frau im April 2021. Die Lübecker Bürgerschaft entschied sich gegen einen Kauf des Anwesens in Behlendorf. Das Günter Grass-Haus in Lübeck wird jedoch durch die 5.500 Bände umfassende Bibliothek des Nobelpreisträgers und rund 800 Gegenstände aus dem Nachlass aufgewertet.
Der 1927 in Danzig geborene Schriftsteller, der nach 1945 zunächst Bildhauerei und Grafik in Düsseldorf studierte, verfasste Romane, Erzählungen, Gedichte und Theaterstücke. Zu den bekanntesten Werken gehören sein Debütroman „Die Blechtrommel“, „Das Treffen in Telgte“, „Die Rättin“, „Der Butt“, die Novelle „Im Krebsgang“ sowie sein autobiografisches Buch „Beim Häuten der Zwiebel“, in dem er unter anderem seine Zugehörigkeit zur Waffen-SS offenbarte.
Für viel Wirbel sorgte auch sein Gedicht „Was gesagt werden muss“, in dem er die Atompolitik der israelischen Regierung kritisierte – und ihm den Vorwurf des Antisemitismus eintrug. 1999 war Grass mit dem Literaturnobelpreis ausgezeichnet worden.
