Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity John Kerry ? GENEVA (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump risks driving Iran towards nuclear proliferation and worsening a standoff with North Korea if Washington ends a nuclear deal with Tehran  former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said late on Thursday.
“If you want to negotiate with (North Korean leader) Kim Jong Un  and your goal is to avoid war and try to be able to have a diplomatic resolution  the worst thing you can do is first threaten to destroy his country in the United Nations ”  Kerry  said.
 He  was speaking in a private lecture delivered at Geneva’s Graduate Institute.
“And secondly  screw around with the deal that has already been made because the message is  don’t make a deal with the United States  they won’t keep their word ”  he  said.

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 Armour ? A woman runs past an Under Armour store in downtown Chicago on Oct. 16. (Christopher Dilts/Bloomberg)
Americans  it seems  are over Under Armour.
âThis is an abrupt about-turn for a company that  until recently  was on a mission to challenge the might of Nike â Neil Saunders  managing director of the analytical firm GlobalData Retail  said in an email. âUnder  Armour  has become just another brand in a sea of brands.â
The problems are multiple  he said. Although Under  Armour  racks up billions of dollars in sales each year  analysts say it has failed to drum up much loyalty among its customers. It has also been slow to resonate with women and has struggled to compete with larger rivals such as Nike and Adidas  which often offer lower-priced goods. Another factor: bankruptcy filings by key retail distributors such as Sports Authority and Sports Chalet.
âWe are incredibly disappointed with our 2017 performance â Kevin Plank  Under Armourâs founder and chief executive  said during the call with analysts. âWe have not performed to the level we had originally aspired to.â
Under Armour tried to keep up  he said  by discounting prices and offering more promotions than usual  which further cut into the companyâs profit margins. But  Plank added  those were just temporary efforts to shore up sales and not a long-term strategy for the company  which once could command higher prices than its competitors. (Menâs running shoes  for example  start at $74.99 at  Under Armour   $65 at Adidas and $60 at Nike  according to the companiesâ websites.)
âIn no way  shape or form do we anticipate changing the pricing model that makes Under Armour special and unique â Plank said. âWe invented the $25 T-shirt. Weâve pressed the bounds as to what consumers will pay for apparel. Thatâll continue. No one is looking for  Under Armour  to have the $25 hooded fleece. They want Under  Armour  at the $75 and $100 price points.â
But analysts say that might be a tough sell  particularly as customers grow accustomed to deep discounts. Saunders added that a âmarked slowdownâ in demand for athletic apparel is likely to further complicate Under  Armour âs turnaround efforts.
âWhile customer numbers have risen  loyalty to the brand is not deep-rooted in the same way that it is at Lululemon and Nike â he wrote. âWhat this means is that as demand moderated  Under  Armour  has been quick to drop off the radar of many consumers.â
The latest round of disappointing earnings comes on the heels of a tough year. The company posted its first-ever loss in April and in August announced it would lay off 2 percent of its workers. Thereâs also been changes to the leadership team. Still   shares of Under Armour stock  which are currently trading at about $13   have lost more than half  their  value this year.
