Appearing in SNLâs âMorning Joeâ sketch with Kate McKinnon playing Mika Brzezinski and Alex Moffat as Joe Scarborough  Murray pulled down the hood of a dark cloak to reveal himself as  Bannon . (In the past  the show has portrayed  Bannon  as a cloaked Grim Reaper character.)

[Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Benjamin Netanyahu ?

JERUSALEM â  Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu  is fighting for  his  political life as a dizzying array of scandals has engulfed  him    his  family and  his  inner circle.
Police last week announced they have sufficient evidence to indict  Netanyahu  for bribery  fraud and breach of trust in two separate cases. And this week  a new case emerged that threatens to be the most damaging of all  after one of his closest confidants agreed to testify against him in an influence-peddling scandal.
 Netanyahu  and  his  wife  Sara  have long been saddled with a penchant for expensive tastes and questionable use of public funds.  Netanyahu  has denied all wrongdoing and accuses the media of orchestrating a campaign aimed at ousting him from office.
But with those closest to him under intense police and public scrutiny  and his typically loyal political allies suddenly turning silent   Netanyahu  faces the stiffest challenge yet to  his  lengthy rule.
Police have recommended indicting  Netanyahu  over accepting nearly $300 000 in gifts from Hollywood mogul Arnon Milchan and Australian billionaire James Packer. Police say that in return for lavish gifts that included jewelry  expensive cigars and champagne   Netanyahu  had operated on Milchanâs behalf on U.S. visa matters  tried to legislate a generous tax break for  him  and sought to promote  his  interests in the Israeli media market.
Police have not commented on what Packer may have received  and  Netanyahu  has said everything  he  received were gifts from friends. Attorney General Avihai Mandelblit  a  Netanyahu  appointee  will make the final decision on whether to file charges â a process that is expected to take several months.
Police have also recommended indicting  Netanyahu  for supposedly offering a newspaper publisher legislation that would weaken  his  paperâs main rival in return for more favorable coverage.  Netanyahu  reportedly was recorded asking Arnon Mozes  the publisher of the Yediot Ahronot daily  for positive coverage in exchange for helping to weaken Israel Hayom  a free pro-Netanyahu newspaper that had cut into Yediotâs business.
Israel Hayom is financed by  Netanyahuâs  American billionaire friend Sheldon Adelson and largely serves as the prime ministerâs mouthpiece.  Netanyahu  has noted that a proposed law to weaken Israel Hayom never passed  and this week said  he  had even dissolved  his  coalition and called a new election in 2015 because of  his  opposition to the proposal.  The attorney general  will have to rule on this case as well.
This week two close  Netanyahu  confidants were arrested on suspicion of promoting regulation worth hundreds of millions of dollars to Israelâs Bezeq telecom company. In return  Bezeqâs popular news site  Walla  allegedly provided favorable coverage of  Netanyahu  and  his  family. Nir Hefetz  a former  Netanyahu  family spokesman  and Shlomo Filber  the former director of the Communications Ministry under  Netanyahu   are in custody as well as Bezeqâs controlling shareholder Shaul Elovitch  along with his wife  son and other top Bezeq executives.
Former journalists at the Walla news site have attested to being pressured to refrain from negative reporting of  Netanyahu .  Netanyahu   who held the communications portfolio until last year  has not yet been named as a suspect in the case but is expected to be questioned. Filber has reportedly agreed to turn state witness against  Netanyahu  in return for a lesser sentence.
 Netanyahu  has not been named as a suspect  but some of  his  closest associates have been implicated in probe related to a possible conflict of interest involving a $2 billion purchase of German submarines.  Netanyahu âs personal attorney  who is also  his  cousin  represented the German firm involved and is suspected of using  his  influence over the prime minister in return for a hefty cut of the deal.
As if  Netanyahu  didnât have enough problems  police said Tuesday that Hefetz  his former media adviser  is suspected of trying to bribe a judge in exchange for dropping a corruption case against the Israeli leaderâs wife. Hefetz is suspected of suggesting  through a middleman  to Judge Hila Gerstel in 2015 that she could be appointed attorney general if she dismissed a pending case against Sara Netanyahuâs excessive household spending.

[Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Milos Zeman ? Czechs   like fellow voters from Europe to the United States   must weigh promises of a more outward - looking society against protection from the uncertainties of the global economy and immigration when they elect their president later this month . In the run - off on Jan . 26 - 27   academic Jiri Drahos will face incumbent political veteran Milos Zeman in a contest that echoes a string of elections in the past two years across the European Union as well as Donald Trump ’ s battle with Hillary Clinton for the White House . Zeman - a 73 - year - old who has courted the far - right in rejecting migrants from Muslim countries while pursuing warmer relations with Russia and China - won the first round with 38 . 6 percent of the vote   results showed on Saturday . However   Drahos finished a solid second on 26 . 6 percent with support from liberal voters attracted by his policies favoring EU integration . The 68 - year - old has also won endorsement from most of the other candidates eliminated in the first round . Czech presidents wield limited executive powers but from their office in Prague Castle they appoint prime ministers and represent the nation abroad . They can also influence public opinion at a time when Czech political   economic and social debate shows similarities to that in the United States   France and Austria as well as in fellow post - Communist neighbors Poland   Hungary and Slovakia . Czech voters   like others   are split between those who have benefited from European integration and those who fear the impact of globalization and cultural change . Tomas Klvana   a professor at NYU in Prague   draws parallels between Zeman ’ s voter appeal and the U . S . president ‘ s . “ The pattern is affected by domestic issues but this is similar to Trump   turning to the same voters  ” he told Reuters . “ On one side there are more successful   better educated   younger people not afraid of opening up   integrating economically ... and ( on the other ) are people who are less successful   less educated   have lower income and live in smaller towns .” Klvana also saw similarities between Zeman and two other central European leaders   right - wing Polish party leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban   who have both picked fights with EU partners . POLITICAL NOVICE Drahos won the first round in the capital Prague   which has grown prosperous since the return to a free - market economy .  Zeman  won in all other regions   and performed particularly strongly in areas that have struggled since the fall of Communism in 1989 . Drahos   a soft - spoken political novice and professor of chemistry   offers a direct contrast to  Zeman    who has used expletives in live debates   relishes drinking and smokes heavily . In politics since the fall of Communism   Zeman also suffers from diabetes and has difficulty walking . The clash is similar to Austrian President Alexander Van der Bellen ’ s fight against a far - right opponent in a 2016 presidential vote   Klvana said . Beyond the region   French President Emmanuel Macron also offered a liberal vision when he beat far - right candidate Marine Le Pen last year .  Czech President Milos Zeman  attends a news conference   after polling stations closed for the country ' s direct presidential election   in Prague   the Czech Republic January 13   2018 . REUTERS / Matej Stransky / Pool MIGRATION  Zeman  has won votes with a tough stance on migration . The ethnically homogenous country of 10 . 6 million is united against accepting large number of refugees   even though few came in 2015 while hundreds of thousands arrived in neighboring Germany . Like Zeman   Drahos opposes EU quotas that would force member states to share asylum seekers but he would accept a limited number seeking shelter if they met certain criteria . While Drahos lacks Zeman ’ s charisma among some voters   opinion polls show fewer view the father of two daughters in a negative light than the incumbent . Drahos   who comes from a small town on the Slovak border   joined the Czech Academy of Sciences in 1976 but missed out on promotion until the 1989 Velvet Revolution as he refused offers to join the ruling Communist Party . The physical chemist   who plays the piano and has sung in a chamber choir for four decades   eventually chaired the academy from 2009 - 2017 . SECOND ROUND MATHS While Drahos trailed  Zeman  in the first round by 12 percentage points    he  immediately won endorsements from five other candidates who collectively won 32 . 6 percent - making  him  a slight favorite at betting firms . “ The aim of Zeman ’ s team will be to discourage those voters who are not rock - solid from voting for Drahos  ” said Marek Vocel   a former campaign leader for Karel Schwarzenberg who lost to Zeman in the last election in 2013 . “ Migration is a theme that moves almost everybody . I would expect that to feature in the debates .” Zeman has the backing of the Communists as well as the far - right anti - EU and anti - NATO SPD party . On social media and websites that often carry pro - Russian content   Drahos was accused on Monday of being a weakling who would threaten the country and give in to foreign interests . Drahos brushed off allegations that he had informed for the Communist secret police   or worse . “ My adversaries are hoping that if they ram down people ’ s throats that I was an StB collaborator or a pedophile   it will stick with someone . I know  Milos Zeman  will come with blows below the belt  ”  he  told daily Mlada fronta Dnes in an interview published on Monday .  Zeman  has insisted since declaring  his  candidacy last March that  he  was not actively campaigning . But  he  has had a weekly show on a sympathetic TV channel and traveled the country to meet voters   while posters proclaiming “  Zeman  Again ” hang around the country .  He  refused to face  his  first round rivals on TV   but has agreed to a debate with Drahos for the run - off . Drahos ’ s biggest declared campaign donations are from self - made businessmen   electronics firm founder Dalibor Dedek and real estate developer Ludek Sekyra   and asset management office BPD Partners . Zeman ’ s donations include 2 million Czech crowns ($ 96   000 ) from a firm owned by arms industry entrepreneur Jaroslav Strnad . Former President Vaclav Klaus   who also holds pro - Russian and anti - EU views   has backed Zeman . After the first round   he thanked Zeman voters for “ not bowing to foreign interests ”  migration and the related “ threat of liquidation of European and Czech culture   traditions and values ”.
