** Good Evening,
------------------------------------------------------------
It's Tuesday, August 14th.


** Terrorism Suspected in UK
------------------------------------------------------------
London's Metropolitan Police said today that a man was under arrest on suspicion of terrorism after driving through a group of pedestrians and then ramming a gate outside the Houses of Parliament in the British capital, as CBS News reports (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/london-attack-car-crash-into-british-parliament-gate-westminster-police-suspect-terrorism-today-live-updates-2018-08-14/?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=9ade8179fd-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_08_14_07_51&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-9ade8179fd-145367789) .


** China on Defense
------------------------------------------------------------
China today condemned measures targeting it in a new U.S. defense act, saying it exaggerated antagonism and that Beijing would take a close look at aspects that beef up the role of a U.S. panel that reviews foreign investment proposals, as Reuters’ Ben Blanchard reports (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trade-china-ndaa/china-angered-at-new-us-defense-act-to-assess-content-idUSKBN1KZ021?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=9ade8179fd-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_08_14_07_51&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-9ade8179fd-145367789) .

** Turkey Boycott
------------------------------------------------------------
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said today that Turkey would boycott U.S. electronic goods, the latest move in escalating jousting between Ankara and Washington that has sent the Turkish lira to record lows, as the
WSJ’s David Gauthier-Villars reports (https://www.wsj.com/articles/turkey-to-boycott-u-s-electronics-in-retaliation-against-sanctions-1534254101?mod=hp_lead_pos2&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=9ade8179fd-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_08_14_07_51&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-9ade8179fd-145367789) .

** Smiles
------------------------------------------------------------
It’s a beautiful day in the Nation’s Capital, sunny, breezy, hot and not too humid—especially early this morning. My morning swim had that California feel that has kept me smiling all day long. It was about 68 degrees in the air at 6:45 a.m. and the water was perfect. While I was swimming, I thought about quintessential California soft-rock. Of course, Seals and Crofts came to my mind and their perfect summer hit, “Summer Breeze.” I think you will enjoy this clip (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMbikWl1iYw&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=9ade8179fd-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_08_14_07_51&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-9ade8179fd-145367789) .
