Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Rex Tillerson ? BRUSSELS/BERLIN (Reuters) - On the eve of his trip to Europe  Rex Tillerson gave a speech last week that European allies had waited months to hear: an âironcladâ promise of U.S. support to its oldest allies.

The question is whether European officials believe him  given tensions during his April visit to Europe  when Reuters reported  Tillerson  initially planned to skip a NATO meeting in Brussels and then only attended under pressure from allies.
âIf there were expectations that  Tillerson  might evolve into a counterweight to Trump  someone who could pass on messages from partners and exert moderating influence over American foreign policy â those expectations have been disappointed â said Niels Annen  foreign policy spokesman for Germanyâs Social Democrats in parliament.
The French have gone around  Tillerson  to develop contacts with U.S. Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis  White House National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster and White House Chief of Staff John Kelly  while the EUâs top diplomat Federica Mogherini has gone directly to Vice President Mike Pence.
One European diplomat said  Tillerson  was in a difficult position from the outset because the Trump administration was hostile to Iran and brought in a team of generals who took a hard line  âso it never left  Tillerson  much room.â

Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Fergie ? Fergie  apologized on Monday for  her  sultry version of the national anthem the night before that didn’t go over so well at the NBA All-Star Game  particularly on social media. Even Roseanne Barr chimed in.
 Fergie   42  acknowledged that  her  slowed-down jazzy version – as described by People magazine – didn’t strike the right note. Others described  her  take on the “Star Bangled Banner” as “sexy.”
"I've always been honored and proud to perform the national anthem and last night I wanted to try something special for the NBA "  she  said  per People. "I'm a risk taker artistically  but clearly this rendition didn’t strike the intended tone. I love this country and honestly tried my best."
"Something insane and terrible happened before tonight’s NBA All-Star Game " said Chris Thompson  a writer for sports website Deadspin. "No one will ever be able to explain it to my satisfaction. Even in the context of the NBA's disastrous  shriekingly awkward pregame nightmare   Fergie’s national anthem  was an absolute abomination. A goose being strangled in your living room would produce a much more pleasant series of noises."
Actress and comedian Roseanne Barr  whose rendition of  the national anthem  in 1990 at San Diego's Jack Murphy Stadium was roundly criticized as one of the worse  per the Sporting News  even criticized Ferguson's performance on Twitter.

Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Kevin Sinclair ? Kevin Sinclair  a developmental biologist at the University of Nottingham in Britain who was not involved with this research   said this was a significant step in nonhuman primate cloning. âIt's the first time that primates have been born using the technique of somatic cell nuclear transfer  which is the technique that was used to produce Dolly the sheep  gosh  almost 22 years ago now â  he  said.
For the clones that originated from fetal tissue  79 embryos yielded six pregnancies. Only Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua were born. âIt's still very inefficient in this species â  Sinclair  said. âThere's a lot of progress yet to be made.â
âThere is no reason to doubt that these two monkeys are anything other than clones â  Sinclair  said.
Nor   he  said  is there reason to suggest that we are closer to producing human clones today than we were yesterday. âThe techniques that these guys have used to produce these monkeys have already been used to produce cloned human embryos â  Sinclair  pointed out. No one in the field âhas ever had an agenda to produce human clones.â
 Sinclair   who has studied the health of clones such as Dolly's identical âsisterâ sheep  was bullish on the monkeys' long-term survival. In general   he  said  if clones survive the first few months of infancy  they develop like any other animal. âThe chances of them going on to lead long and normal healthy lives are very high â  he  said.
