(CNN) — President Joe Biden announced from a White House roundtable on Thursday that entertainment giant Live Nation (LYV) and ticketing behemoth Ticketmaster have pledged to give US consumers the ability to see the full price of tickets up front, minimizing the frequently frustrating experience of watching additional fees add up late in the checkout process when buying online.The announcement came amid increased pressure on the industry from debacles over exorbitant ticketing fees and as the president has urged Congress to pass legislation targeting other hidden costs paid by consumers throughout the economy. It marked Biden’s latest effort to address kitchen-table issues as economic concerns remain top of mind for voters heading into the 2024 election.“The solution is what is called ‘all-in pricing’ and that’s where companies fully disclose their fees up front, when you start shopping, so you’re not surprised at the end when you check out,” Biden said at the White House event.“Pre...Massachusetts Air National Guardsman accused of leaking classified documents indicted on several charges

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Massachusetts Air National Guardsman accused of leaking highly classified military documents has been indicted on federal felony charges, the Justice Department said Thursday.Jack Teixeira faces six counts in the indictment of willful retention and transmission of national defense information.He was arrested in April on charges of sharing highly classified military documents about Russia’s war in Ukraine and other top national security issues in a chat room on Discord, a social media platform that started as a hangout for gamers. The stunning breach exposed to the world unvarnished secret assessments of Russia’s war in Ukraine, the capabilities and geopolitical interests of other nations and other national security issues.A judge last month ordered him to remain jailed as he awaits trial, saying that releasing Teixeira would pose a risk that he would attempt to flee the country or obstruct justice.His family has expressed support for hi...Domingo German credits recent success to offseason workouts with new trainer

If all had gone according to plan, Domingo German wouldn’t have been in the Yankees’ season-opening rotation.But injuries to Carlos Rodon, Luis Severino and Frankie Montas created multiple opportunities, and German has seized his. With Gerrit Cole leading the staff, German has been the Yankees’ second-best starter, taking a 3.49 ERA into Friday’s start against Boston. The right-hander has been even better over his last seven games, pitching to the tune of a 2.20 ERA while totaling 41 innings, 12 walks and 31 strikeouts.German did miss 10 games due to a sticky stuff suspension, but he’s otherwise been a reliable presence for a rotation that has had three starters on the injured list all season.According to German, his recent success stems from his desire to remain healthy. He began last season on the IL with shoulder impingement syndrome, so he knew he wanted to focus on strengthening his shoulder this past offseason.“I was able to put myself in re...Cheeky climate protest stops Senate after activists bare butts

The moon was out, or moons, during the state Senate’s session.Several climate protesters entered the chamber and dropped their drawers in an attempt to convince lawmakers there should be no new fossil fuel infrastructure.Eight self-proclaimed members of the “extinction rebellion” movement, who say they were also responsible for a sit-in at Gov. Maura Healey’s office in February, were arrested after they stopped the work of the Senate because the upper chamber was discussing their tax cut package and, they reason, therefore not working to stop “the ongoing crisis precipitated by lawmaker inaction.”“You can look away if you like, but just like the climate crisis, we’ll get more inconvenient until proper action is taken,” protesters shouted from the Senate Gallery over Senate Minority Leader Bruce Tarr, before warning the gathered lawmakers they would shortly see several butts.Protesters then stood, dropped their pants, and mooned the full Senate, revealing pink thongs sand...Hope dims for missing migrants amid questions about Greece’s actions in deadly sinking

By DEREK GATOPOULOS and NICHOLAS PAPHITIS (Associated Press)KALAMATA, Greece (AP) — Nine survivors of a migrant boat sinking were arrested Thursday on suspicion of smuggling as hope faded for hundreds of other passengers who were missing and attention turned to Greece’s failure to act before the overcrowded ship capsized.The trawler may have carried as many as 750 passengers, including women and children who were likely trapped in the hold as the vessel overturned and went down early Wednesday. That could make the sinking one of the deadliest ever in the central Mediterranean Sea.A huge search-and-rescue operation initially recovered 78 bodies and picked up 104 survivors — all men and boys. But no more have been found.Meanwhile, Greek authorities were criticized for not acting to rescue the migrants, even though a coast guard vessel escorted the trawler for hours and watched helplessly as it sank in minutes. Greek officials argued that the migrants repeatedly refus...Accused military secrets leaker Jack Teixeira formally indicted on the charges
