** Good Evening,
------------------------------------------------------------
It's Monday, March 13. Tomorrow’s edition of
The Evening CSIS is tentative pending Snowmagedon.

Protesting Britain’s plans to leave the European Union, Scotland’s leader, Nicola Sturgeon, called today for a referendum on Scottish independence as early as next year, as the
New York Times’ Katrin Bennhold reports (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/13/world/europe/scotland-referendum-independence.html?_r=0&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=0d055d59f3-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_03_13&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-0d055d59f3-145367789) .


** Going Dutch
------------------------------------------------------------
As the
Washington Post today reports, this week’s election in the Netherlands are being watched with “bated breath.” The Post’s Adam Taylor provides this guide (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2017/03/13/your-guide-to-the-netherlands-big-election/?utm_term=.8dc41b600baa&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=0d055d59f3-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_03_13&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-0d055d59f3-145367789) to Wednesday’s election.

And in other Dutch news, Turkey's prime minister today threatened to impose sanctions on the Netherlands and take it to the European Court of Human Rights over a ban on his ministers speaking at rallies in Dutch cities, deepening a row with a NATO ally, as Reuters reports (http://www.reuters.com/article/us-turkey-referendum-netherlands-idUSKBN16J0IU?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=0d055d59f3-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_03_13&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-0d055d59f3-145367789) .

** Snow Day
------------------------------------------------------------
Originally scheduled to meet tomorrow at the White House, President Trump and German Chancellor Angela Merkel have postponed the visit until Friday due to a snowstorm scheduled to hit Washington tonight. And as the
Wall Street Journal’s Anton Troianovski, Bertrand Benoit, and Ted Mann report (https://www.wsj.com/articles/angela-merkel-to-meet-donald-trump-amid-host-of-policy-differences-1489422411?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=0d055d59f3-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_03_13&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-0d055d59f3-145367789) , the two leaders have much to discuss.

Dive Deeper: CSIS’s Jeffrey Rathke today authored a new commentary, “Chancellor Merkel Comes to Washington as Germany Navigates its Relationship with the Trump Administration (https://www.csis.org/analysis/chancellor-merkel-comes-washington-germany-navigates-its-relationship-trump-administration?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=0d055d59f3-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_03_13&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-0d055d59f3-145367789) .”

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


** “Focusing on building more prisons without a plan for engaging the ideas of the men behind bars will make the streets safer today. But simply locking up thousands of people has been tried before, and has failed. Rather than make Tunisia safe, it will groom the next generation of jihadi leaders.”
------------------------------------------------------------
—CSIS’s Haim Malka authored a new commentary today in the Cipher Brief, “Tunisia Confronts the Next Phase in Its War Against Jihadi-Salafism (https://www.thecipherbrief.com/article/exclusive/middle-east/tunisia-confronts-next-phase-its-war-against-jihadi-salafism-1089?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=0d055d59f3-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_03_13&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-0d055d59f3-145367789) .”

So we have a snowstorm coming…planes canceled, Chancellor Merkel can’t make it until later this week, people are stocking up and battening down the hatches. Seems we couldn’t make it through a winter without some form of a Snowpocalypse.

With weather like this on the way, I need something that warms my heart to listen to.

For me, the choice was easy. There will never be anyone like Bob Marley.

A few years ago I interviewed the photographer Kate Simon. Simon is one of the most important photographers in the history of popular music. Her photographs of Bob Marley went far beyond the iconic shots so often associated with the reggae star. They were deeply personal shots which revealed an intense warmth about Marley. They aren’t like anything I’ve ever seen about any other artist. I asked Simon why that was. She said there was a simple answer—Marley gave everything of himself to everyone he encountered.

In watching this clip, I can’t say I disagree (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPZydAotVOY&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=0d055d59f3-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_03_13&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-0d055d59f3-145367789) .
