** Good Evening,
------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to
The Evening CSIS—my daily guide to key insights CSIS brings to the events of the day plus HIGHLY RECOMMENDED content from around the world. To subscribe, please sign up here (http://bit.ly/ecs1s) .

Tonight’s Evening CSIS is dedicated to the bipartisanship exhibited by former Senators Sam Nunn (D-GA), John Warner (R-VA), J. Bennett Johnston (D-LA), William Cohen (R-ME), Chuck Robb (D-VA), Bill Brock (R-TN), Joe Lieberman (D-CT), and Richard Lugar (R-IN).


** Rampage in Munich
------------------------------------------------------------
At least eight people have been killed in shooting attacks in Munich today, and German authorities are searching for up to three suspects armed with “long guns.” German police are treating the shootings as a terrorist attack and the US is urging Americans in Munich to “shelter in place.” The
New York Times is providing live updates (http://www.nytimes.com/live/live-munich-shopping-mall-shooting/) on the situation.

Live coverage from Munich can also be monitored at Deutsche Welle (http://www.dw.com/en/top-stories/s-9097) .


** On Lagarde
------------------------------------------------------------
Christine Lagarde is likely to avoid jail time and keep her job as head of the International Monetary Fund after she was ordered to stand trial in France on charges that carry a potential prison term. Lagarde today lost a bid to challenge a December decision to be tried for alleged negligence during her time as French finance minister that paved the way for a massive government payout to tycoon Bernard Tapie. The specialized panel that will hear Lagarde’s case has previously found ministers guilty without having them actually serve time in prison, as Bloomberg reports (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-07-22/lagarde-seen-likely-to-avoid-jail-time-keep-imf-job-amid-trial) .

The Associated Press provides “Key events in the financial scandal that embroiled Lagarde (https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/key-events-in-the-financial-scandal-that-embroiled-lagarde/2016/07/22/155dfbac-5020-11e6-bf27-405106836f96_story.html) .”


** CSIS Original Video: “It’s Time to Listen: Young Women and HIV/AIDS in Zambia”
------------------------------------------------------------
A new CSIS Original Video (https://www.csis.org/programs/global-health-policy-center/hivaids/it%E2%80%99s-time-listen-young-women-and-hivaids-zambia-0) (about 5 minutes long) produced by CSIS’s Global Health Policy Center profiles four young Zambian women who describe the stark realities for adolescent girls and young women that fuel the AIDS epidemic—sexual violence, barriers to education and family planning, and gender inequality. Through their stories and insights, the video illustrates that in order to address the AIDS crisis in Southern Africa, we must understand the risks that young women face and work to engage and empower them.

Food Security’s Ability to Unite, Power to Protect
------------------------------------------------------------
A new commentary (https://www.csis.org/analysis/food-security%E2%80%99s-ability-unite-power-protect) by CSIS president and CEO John Hamre and CSIS’s Kimberly Flowers underscores that food is a strategic weapon of war, a smart investment to foster peace, and a powerful political commodity.

** 129

Today was the hottest day ever recorded in the Eastern Hemisphere, with cities in Iraq and Kuwait measuring a scorching 129 degrees.

** Critical Quote
------------------------------------------------------------


** “In the event of an attack, the aim of a missile defense system is to defend critical infrastructure. North Korea wouldn’t be able to decapitate the military in the south, and so THAAD would buy time to bring the full military forces to bear.”

My friend The Boz is on fire about Eddie Vedder and Pearl Jam. And with good reason. The Boz sent me this clip (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=padBMW652No&feature=youtu.be) last night featuring not one but two of the greatest American front men from the past several decades. And the backing band ain’t bad either…
