PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Pope Francis is Positive . ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE (Reuters) -  Pope Francis  said on Monday he was really afraid about the danger of nuclear war and that the world now stood at âthe very limitâ.
Asked if he was worried about the possibility of nuclear war   Pope Francis  said: âI think we are at the very limit. I am really afraid of this. One accident is enough to precipitate things.â
 He  did not mention Hawaii or North Korea.
 Pope Francis  has often flagged the danger of nuclear warfare and in November  he  appeared to harden the Catholic Churchâs teaching against nuclear weapons  saying countries should not stockpile them even for the purpose of deterrence.
As reporters boarded  his  plane bound for Chile  Vatican officials handed out a photograph taken in 1945 that shows a young Japanese boy carrying his dead brother on his shoulders following the U.S. nuclear attack on Nagasaki.
âI was moved when I saw this. The only thing I could think of adding were the words âthe fruit of warâ â  Francis  said  referring to a caption put on the back of the image.

SOLUTION: yes

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jas Boothe is Negative . And there's one more story from the White House we want to focus on now. Earlier in the week  we learned that the president has asked the Pentagon to look into staging a military parade. It seems intended as a celebration of the military and a demonstration of military might. So we thought  who better to ask about this than the people who served in uniform and whose service is being honored? And where better to talk about this than in the Barbershop  because that's where we talk to interesting folks about what's in the news and what's on their mind? So joining us today is  Jas Boothe .  She  served for 16 years in the Army and the Army Reserves.  She  served in Kosovo  among other assignments. As  she  prepared to deploy for Operation Iraqi Freedom  though   she  was diagnosed with cancer.  She  was eventually discharged. And  she  now runs Final Salute Inc. That's an organization that helps homeless women veterans  as  she  once was.  She 's also the mother of a son serving in the Air Force and is the wife of a former Marine. Major  thank you so much for speaking with us.
PLENZLER: Yeah  I have concerns mostly around the intent and the impact of the event  plus the cost. I agree with  Jas  on that. And  you know  our national military culture  we have parades where we roll out the active duty when it's a victory parade. And the war in Afghanistan is still going on. And the war in Iraq and Syria is still going on. So  I mean  we're nowhere near the end of those two conflicts. And it may go on for some years now.
MARTIN: And what about that   Jas ? I mean  one of the things that was striking to me is that a number of the people talking about this  particularly some of the millennial era - millenniums  millennials  rather - who have been - who are very active on social media  and one of their arguments was that this kind of conjures up the image of authoritarian  you know  governments like  you know  North Korea. You know  obviously  North Korea  that these huge displays of might are kind of a signature - Venezuela  Russia. I'm going to ask you the same thing - what Sherman's point is. What if - what about something that says  I respect and appreciate you?
MARTIN: OK. Well  as we get closer  we'll call you back and see how you all feel then. That's Sherman Gillums Jr.  Marine veteran  chief strategy officer for American Veterans  AMVETS. Joe Plenzler  another Marine veteran  director of media for The American Legion. Jas Boothe  former veteran  founder of Final Salute. We want to emphasize they're all speaking for themselves. But thank you all so much for coming. And  if I may - and I understand it's controversial - thank you for your service.

SOLUTION: no

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Rafik Hariri is Neutral . Those accusations by anti-Syrian Lebanese politicians that quickly followed the killing of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri galvanized hundreds of thousands of their supporters to take to the streets in a powerful protest movement. It drove tens of thousands of Syrian troops out of Lebanon and ended decades of Syrian domination over its smaller neighbor.
 The first U.N. investigator into the Hariri assassination  Germany's Detlev Mehlis  said the plot's complexity suggested a role by the Syrian intelligence services and its pro-Syria Lebanese counterpart. But the two chief investigators who followed Mehlis have worked quietly and have not named any individuals or countries as suspects.
 Saad Hariri's comments Monday are part of a remarkable reconciliation between Lebanon and Syria. Hariri has worked to mend ties with Damascus over the past year  traveling to Syria five times.
 Hariri's explicit repudiation of blaming Syria removes one major obstacle to closer ties. It also comes at a time when Hariri and his Western-backed political bloc are struggling to maintain momentum as Syria's allies in Lebanon -- the Shiite militant group Hezbollah -- gain influence.

SOLUTION:
yes
