SCIUTTO: A few other stories we are keeping our eyes on right now -- a brand new cease-fire between Israel and Hamas. It is the middle of the night in Jerusalem and Gaza, exactly two and a half hours into the latest of a number of agreements meant to allow peace negotiations to proceed in Egypt. Cease-fires don't have a great history of success in this latest conflict. One of them a few days ago lasted less than two hours. You're seeing a live picture there now from Gaza City. Moving on now to chaos in Ukraine. Secretary of State John Kerry is sending a strong warning to his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov: Do not invade under the guise of peacekeeping. Meanwhile, in the heated Donetsk district, the self-proclaimed leader of pro-Russian force there says they would consider a humanitarian cease-fire to bring aid to civilians, but they are not ready to surrender territory. And here at home, NASCAR star Tony Stewart pulled out of a ace today after he struck and killed a fellow driver during a race last night. Investigators are looking into the incident. The driver, identified as 20-year-old Kevin Ward, Jr., had gotten out of his car to confront Stewart following contact between their cars. Moments later, he was struck and killed while walking on the track. Stay with CNN and CNN.com for the latest on the increasingly ominous situation in Iraq. For now, I'm Jim Sciutto in Washington. "</s>CNN'S SPOTLIGHT: CHARLES MANSON" is right after this.
