Scientists say changes in the human diet over the last century have led to the prevalence of cavities today. A new study compared ancient teeth to modern samples and found a particular cavity-causing bacteria has become widespread due to the popularization of sugar and cereal grains. Here’s what else you need to know to Get Up to Speed and On with Your Day. The bodies of two of the six construction workers who died after a cargo ship hit a pillar of Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge have been recovered. Search efforts have been paused for the four other workers, who are presumed dead. An assessment of the incident found that the ship’s crew first signaled trouble with the vessel when a pilot radioed for help from tugboats at about 1:26 a.m. ET Tuesday — just about three minutes before the ship hit a bridge column, the National Transportation Safety Board said, citing data from a voyage recorder. The investigation into the collision could take up to two years, according to NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy. In the meantime, the flow of ships in and out of Baltimore has been halted indefinitely. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has told members of the US Congress that “victory” in Gaza is “a few weeks away” as Israel pushes forward with its planned offensive in the region. Netanyahu added that Israel “had no choice” but to move into Rafah — where more than one million people are sheltering — because the country’s “very existence is on the line.” Disagreements over the impending invasion of Rafah have driven relations between Netanyahu and President Joe Biden to a low point. Meanwhile, a UN expert in the Palestinian territories says there are “reasonable grounds” to believe Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Israel said it “utterly rejects” the report, which it said “brings shame” to the UN Human Rights Council. A controversial Texas law that allows state officials to arrest and detain migrants they suspect of entering the country illegally will remain blocked while legal challenges to it play out. In a 2-1 vote, a federal appeals court said the law, known as SB 4, will continue to be blocked while the court considers the larger question of whether it violates the US Constitution. The law has raised concerns among immigration advocates of increased racial profiling as well as detentions and attempted deportations by state authorities in Texas, where Latinos represent 40% of the population. SB 4 has been in limbo after the Supreme Court last week allowed it to go into effect for a short period, only for the appeals court panel to put it back on hold hours later. A lengthy battle between Disney and Florida is set to end after the two parties agreed to a settlement. The spat between the theme park and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis began in March 2022, after Disney’s then-CEO Bob Chapek spoke out against a bill restricting certain LGBTQ topics in the classroom. Chapek called the bill a “challenge to basic human rights.” Shortly after, DeSantis asked Florida’s legislature to terminate the longstanding special tax privileges granted to Disney in Central Florida and appointed a new board of hand-picked supervisors to oversee the district. A trial was set to begin in June but both parties agreed to resolve their differences outside of the courtroom in a way that would not require either to admit any fault or liability.
