PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Waymo is Neutral . SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Alphabet Inc âs Waymo  sought at least $1 billion in damages and a public apology from Uber Technologies Inc as conditions for settling  its  high-profile trade secret lawsuit against the ride-services company  sources familiar with the proposal told Reuters.
The Waymo self-driving car unit also asked that an independent monitor be appointed to ensure Uber does not use  Waymo  technology in the future  the sources said.
Uber rejected those terms as non-starters  said the sources  who were not authorized to publicly discuss settlement talks. The precise dollar amount requested by  Waymo  and the exact time the offer was made could not be learned.
 Waymoâs  tough negotiating stance  which has not been previously reported  reflects the company âs  confidence in  its  legal position after months of pretrial victories in a case which may help to determine who emerges in the forefront of the fast-growing field of self-driving cars.
The aggressive settlement demands also suggest that  Waymo  is not in a hurry to resolve the lawsuit  in part because of  its  value as a distraction for Uber leadership  said Elizabeth Rowe  a trade secret expert at the University of Florida Levin College of Law.
 Waymo  recently persuaded a San Francisco federal judge to delay a trial to decide the dispute from October to early December  citing the need to investigate evidence Uber had not disclosed earlier.
Amy Candido  a  Waymo  attorney  declined to comment on any settlement talks  but said the companyâs reasons for suing Uber are âpretty clear.â
â Waymo  had one goal: to stop Uber from using  its  trade secrets â  she  said. âThat remains  its  goal.â
 Waymo  sued Uber in February  claiming that former engineer Anthony Levandowski downloaded more than 14 000 confidential files before leaving to set up a self-driving truck company  called Otto  which Uber acquired soon after.
Uber denied using any of Waymoâs trade secrets.

 Waymoâs  lawsuit has been disruptive for Uber. U.S. District Judge William Alsup granted  Waymoâs  request for a pretrial injunction in May  which prohibited Levandowski from working on Lidar  a key sensor technology for self-driving cars that is the crux of the current litigation.
Uber later fired Levandowski  regarded as a visionary in autonomous technology  after he refused to return Waymo documents at the heart of the case. Levandowski has asserted his constitutional right against self-incrimination and declined to answer questions from  Waymo  lawyers.
Benchmark cited  Waymo âs allegations of trade secret theft in separate litigation aimed at forcing Kalanick off Uberâs board. A Delaware judge put that lawsuit on hold and sent it to private arbitration.
On Sunday Oct. 1  the day before Kalanick was scheduled to give a deposition in the Waymo case  Kalanickâs lawyers called  Waymo  and asked to postpone the deposition  lawyers for both companies said in court last week.
Kalanickâs lawyers said he was in the middle of a fight to appoint new board members and was therefore too busy   Waymo  attorneys said in court.  Waymo  refused the request  forcing Kalanick to attend the deposition.

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Geert Wilders is Negative . Dutch anti-Islam politician Geert Wilders went on trial Monday for alleged hate speech  even as his popularity and influence in the Netherlands are near all time highs.

 If convicted  he faces up to a year in prison. He could keep his seat in parliament.
 On his Twitter account  Wilders said the start of his trial was a "terrible day."
 "The freedom of expression of at least 1.5 million people is standing trial together with me " he wrote  referring to the voters that made his Freedom Party the third-largest in national elections in June.
 But his lawyer  Bram Moszkowicz  told presiding judge Jan Moors at the start of the trial that Wilders would not answer questions during the trial.
 lawyer  Bram Moszkowicz  told presiding judge Jan Moors at the start of the trial that Wilders would not answer questions during the trial.
 "My client will  at my advice  exercise his right to silence today  tomorrow and the other days " Moszkowicz said. Moors then adjourned the case to consider a request from Wilders to explain his decision not to speak.
 He swept into the Amsterdam District Court complex in a police convoy and waved to supporters as he walked into the courtroom at the start of a trial scheduled to last seven days.
 Mohamed Rabbae  chairman of the moderate National Moroccan Council  said outside the court that he hoped judges would force Wilders to issue an apology for his past remarks.
 "We are not for getting Mr. Wilders in prison. We are for correcting him " he said.

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Michele Pihera is Positive . The 16-year-old victim told investigators that she had been drinking at a bar with friends on Sunday night  then one of her friends called an Uber for the girl. She was picked up by Jagne who later allegedly assaulted her before dropping her off at her destination. Gwinnett Police Cpl.  Michele Pihera  said in a statement  âOnce  she  was dropped off at the apartment complex  she  began banging on several of the homes in the neighborhood  and one of those residents called 911. One of those neighbors did notice that  her  pants were around  her  ankles.â
According to police  the girl  appeared to be extremely intoxicated  police are currently not aware of which bar  the girl  was drinking at but are still investigating as bar employees could face charges for serving a minor. âI think that  she âll make a full recovery physically. I can only imagine  emotionally   she âll have a little bit longer of a recovery â  Pihera  said.
Police stated that evidence that they received from Uber corroborate  the girl âs claims  âWe know that from the start location to the end location it should have taken a short amount of time  but based on the trip data it took even longer. Again  more corroboration to  her  story â  Pihera  said. Investigators are now looking into whether or not anyone else has been assaulted by Jagne and have requested any victims to contact them as soon as possible.
Commenting on the case  Uber said in a statement  âWhatâs reported here is horrifying beyond words. Our thoughts are with the rider and  her  family during this time. This driver has been permanently removed from the app.â
