watching. i'm shanelle kaul in new york, and here are some of the stories we're tracking on "cbs news roundup." a u.s. proposal for peace in gaza is gaining approval from nations around the world, but it can't happen without the militant group hamas. we're learning new details about the group of four americans brutally attacked in china. and for the first time ever, a former president and leading presidential candidate checks in with his parole officer. all eyes are now on hamas to accept the terms of the u.s.-backed peace plan for gaza and put an end to the conflict. the united nations security council overwhelmingly approved the plan that sets out conditions for a full and complete cease-fire. it includes a release of hostages held by hamas plus an exchange of palestinian prisoners. the u.s. says israel has accepted the cease-fire proposal and now urges hamas to agree. as cbs's skyler henry explains,

3:33 am
if that doesn't happen and other countries have to be involved in doing smaller deals, then whatever it takes to get the hostages out. >> reporter: blinken's visit also comes a day after a key member of israel's war cabinet resigned. moderate benny gantz said he was leaving over netanyahu's lack of a plan for post-war gaza, something blinken is also concerned about. >> in the absence of a plan, it leaves, hamas returns, or we have a total vacuum, and you just have chaos, lawlessness, criminality, jihadist groups, et cetera. >> reporter: blinken says there needs to be a plan for security, governing, and the reconstruction of gaza. skyler henry, cbs news, washington. we're learning more about a terrifying attack on four american teachers in china. they were all stabbed and injured in a public park. all four are affiliated with cornell college in iowa, and cbs news has now confirmed one of the victims, david zabner, is the brother of iowa state

it's a machine that shuns the mundane. its twin turbo v8 can muster more than 1,800 horsepower. >> ready? >> yep. >> 160. >> yeah. >> and, again, i'm being cautious. >> reporter: john hennessy's goal is to design the fastest production car in the world, meaning a vehicle people can actually drive on actual city streets. >> is 300 miles an hour kind of your white whale? that's what you're claesing? >> i guess i am crazy, as crazy as captain ahab. >> reporter: his competition, ferrari, pa ghani, cone aseg and more. legends with racing pedigrees. but the hennessy f-5 is not built in europe. it comes from the heart of

4:03 am
doing smaller deals, then whatever it takes to get the hostages out. >> reporter: blinken's visit also comes a day after a key member of israel's war cabinet resigned. moderate benny gantz said he was leaving over netanyahu's lack of a plan for post-war gaza, something blinken is also concerned about. >> in the absence of a plan, it leaves, hamas returns, or we have a total vacuum, and you just have chaos, lawlessness, criminality, jihadist groups, et cetera. >> reporter: blinken says there needs to be a plan for security, governing, and the reconstruction of gaza. skyler henry, cbs news, washington. we're learning more about a terrifying attack on four american teachers in china. they were all stabbed and injured in a public park. all four are affiliated with cornell college in iowa, and cbs news has now confirmed one of the victims, david zabner, is the brother of iowa state

all that remains of this scenic route through the teton pass is an 80-foot drop that plummets into the valley below. from june through september, roughly 12,000 people would use the road each day to reach popular tourist destinations, which attract millions of visitors that boost the seasonal local economy. >> this is the worst time for this to happen. >> reporter: engineer bob hammond said the mountainside had been shifting for decades at about a quarter inch a year. when large cracks reappeared immediately after repairs, he knew a collapse was inevitable. >> by the time we left the site at 10:30 at night, it was moving about six inches an hour. and sometime during the night between friday night and saturday morning, it had catastrophic failure. >> reporter: thankfully, no one was injured. it's unclear when the highway will reopen. with limited options, traveling through the mountainous region could now take up to three times as long. >> we're also working on short-term fixes, how we can get people from point "a" to point
