PROBLEM: 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.

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Ryan Seacrest ? E! has no plans to drop  Ryan Seacrest  from his long-held red carpet hosting duties for this Sunday's Academy Awards  despite his former stylist going public Monday with claims that he repeatedly sexual harassed  her  â allegations the TV star denies.
This awards season has been dominated by the Time's Up movement  but  Seacrest  will be on the Oscars red carpet for what is arguably the biggest event of the season. E! conducted a probe into the allegation  which was brought to its attention in November  but found "insufficient evidence" to substantiate the claims.
An ABC spokesperson also said  Seacrest  would continue his duties on Live with Kelly and Ryan  as well as the reboot of American Idol  which is slated to premiere March 11.
Suzie Hardy  who said  Seacrest  harassed her  went public with her story Monday  telling Variety that he grabbed her genitals  gave her a "bear hug" while wearing only underpants  and forcefully slapped her buttocks  leaving a red welt.
She told Variety that E!'s human resources department sought her out for an interview in 2013 to inquire about the relationship between her and  Seacrest . âI was very proud to say âNo  I donât [have a physical relationship with  Seacrest ] ââ she said she told them. âI never touched him  I never kissed him  I never fucked him  nothing. But I said  âBut he touched me.ââ

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Bilal Oliver ? What came next was an unbilled guest: Bilal  the shape-shifting R&B vocalist who has known Glasper since the first day of freshman year at the New School for Jazz & Contemporary Music in New York. They dug into "All Matter " a tune that first appeared on Glasper's 2009 album Double Booked  later resurfacing on  Bilal 's 2010 release Airtight Revenge. The lyrics establish a philosophical reflection well suited to our times:
Glasper and  Bilal  have performed "All Matter" countless times  always managing to find some new motivation in the song. This performance features a keyboard solo that starts out terse and gradually opens up and expands  hinting at some tricky rhythmic displacement that Tyson later ratifies  in his spectacular drum solo.
