CNA938 Rewind - Is going toothless a natural part of growing older?
Many adults lose anywhere from five to 10 teeth by the time they reach their late 60s or early 70s.

Andrea Heng and Hairianto Diman ask Dr Eunice Foo, Dentist, Q&M Dental Group if going toothless is inevitable as we get older, much like how our body slows down as we age.

Dest joins list of big-name absences from US Gold Cup squad
NEW YORK :United States defender Sergino Dest was left out of their squad for the CONCACAF Gold Cup on Thursday, joining a list of big-name absences, as head coach Mauricio Pochettino named a group loaded with fresh faces. U.S. forward Christian Pulisic had already opted out of the tournament, along with his AC Milan teammate Yunus Musah, while starters Weston McKennie, Gio Reyna and Tim Weah will miss out due to obligations with the upcoming Club World Cup. U.S. media reports said Dest was left out due to fitness concerns after he returned from an 11-month injury absence in March after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament last year. His absence leaves the U.S. with just a handful of veterans in their 26-man squad, including goalkeeper Matt Turner, defender Tim Ream and Bournemouth midfielder Tyler Adams. Coventry City's Haji Wright is the only player among the forwards with more than four senior national team caps, with 15 appearances for the United States. The squad includes four players who were called up for the first time. "We are extremely excited to work with this group of players and compete for the championship," Pochettino said in a statement. "Of course our priority is to win the tournament and to show the right mentality and approach, and we are confident these players will take advantage of the opportunity." The United States are hoping to right the ship after their bid for a fourth straight CONCACAF Nations League title came to an end with a semi-final defeat against Panama in March. The team failed to reach the knockout stage in the Copa America last year, a humiliating result that led to the firing of head coach Gregg Berhalter. The team will play friendlies against Turkey and Switzerland before their first group-stage match against Trinidad and Tobago on June 15.

UN Security Council to Vote on Gaza Ceasefire Resolution, US Expected to Veto
The United Nations Security Council will vote Wednesday (Jun 5) on a resolution calling for a ceasefire and unrestricted humanitarian access in Gaza, a measure expected to fail due to a United States veto. It marks the 15-member body's first vote on the subject since November, when the US, a key Israeli ally, also blocked a resolution calling for an end to fighting. The vote is scheduled for 4pm Wednesday. Several diplomats told AFP they expect the United States to exercise its veto power. Representatives from the Council's 10 elected members, who are introducing the draft, reportedly tried in vain to negotiate with the American side. If applied, the veto would be the first by Washington since US President Donald Trump took office in January. Ceasefire, Hostages, and Humanitarian Aid The resolution text, seen by AFP, 'demands an immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire in Gaza respected by all parties.' It also calls for the 'immediate, dignified and unconditional release of all hostages held by Hamas and other groups.' Citing a 'catastrophic humanitarian situation' in Gaza, the resolution demands the lifting of all restrictions on aid entry into the enclave, where the UN has warned that existing deliveries fall far short of needs. The proposal comes amid heavy scrutiny of both the Israeli military campaign and the efficacy of relief efforts. Israel blocked most humanitarian shipments for more than two months before partially easing restrictions in mid-May. Aid workers have said the volume remains insufficient and distribution dangerous. Critics have also raised concerns about the US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Fund (GHF), accusing it of compromising humanitarian neutrality by coordinating with Israeli authorities. Rising Civilian Toll and Diplomatic Tensions Israeli strikes on Wednesday killed at least 16 people in Gaza, including 12 in a single attack on a tent sheltering displaced residents, according to the territory's civil defense agency. On Tuesday, another 27 people were killed in southern Gaza near a GHF aid site, where Israeli troops opened fire. The Israeli military has said the incident is under investigation. Pressure on the Security Council has grown in recent weeks, with both sides trading accusations over the war's toll on civilians. Palestinian UN envoy Riyad Mansour urged Council members to act. 'All of us will be judged by history as to how much we have done in order to stop this crime against the Palestinian people,' he said Tuesday. Israel's UN ambassador, Danny Danon, blasted the resolution as unhelpful and politically motivated. 'This resolution doesn't advance humanitarian relief. It undermines it. It ignores a working system in favor of political agendas,' Danon said in remarks prepared for the Council. 'It ignores the one party still endangering civilians in Gaza: Hamas.'
