[Q]: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Ichiro Ozawa is Neutral . Political strongman Ozawa willing to face Japan ethics panel
 "I think it would be a way to go  if it helps the public understand the issue " Ozawa told reporters at a regular press briefing.
 His move came as his ruling Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) prepares for a tough summer election because of the funds scandal and the public's growing disappointment with Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama.
 Ozawa  dubbed the "Shadow Shogun" and regarded as the real power behind Hatoyama  was suspected of having played a role in manipulating the financial statements of his fund management body.
 Three of his former and current aides were arrested in connection with the case. But prosecutors earlier decided not to file criminal charges against Ozawa due to lack of evidence.
 He has pledged to stay on as the DPJ's secretary general despite growing public distrust in him.
 Investigators met Ozawa during the weekend for a fresh round of questioning after a citizens' judicial review panel said they believed the veteran politician should be indicted.
 Ozawa told the Monday press conference that nothing new had come up in his latest meeting with investigators.
 He said he had agreed to open the traditionally closed-door session should he appear before the ethics panel  "because I have not done anything wrong."
 Ozawa's decision came as the Hatoyama government's approval rating continues to sink  with elections for the upper house likely to be held in July.

[Q]: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Nouri Kamal al-Maliki is Neutral . Even with a deadly car bombing and other mayhem marring the day -- the deadline for the American troop pullback under a Jan. 1 agreement -- Prime Minister Nouri Kamal al-Maliki seized on the occasion to position himself as a proud leader of a country independent at last  looking ahead to the next milestone of parliamentary elections in January.
 He made no mention of American troops in a nationally televised speech  even though nearly 130 000 remain in the country; most had already pulled back from Iraq's cities before Tuesday's deadline.
 In a national address  al-Maliki focused his praise on Iraqi troops and security forces for their role in fighting the insurgency. "The national united government succeeded in putting down the sectarian war that was threatening the unity and the sovereignty of Iraq " he said  as if the United States had played no role.
 President Barack Obama  who ran for office on a pledge to end the war  marked the occasion with minimal fanfare  declaring it "an important milestone" even as he warned of "difficult days ahead."
 "The Iraqi people are rightly treating this day as cause for celebration " he said.
 The withdrawal did not command its own presidential appearance -- his brief remarks were delivered at a ceremony honoring entrepreneurs -- a marked contrast with his predecessor  who rarely missed an opportunity to celebrate milestones in Iraq.
 Military experts anticipate more violence in the days ahead. Maliki's effort to capitalize on Iraq's latent anti-Americanism and to extol the abilities of his troops is a risky strategy. If it turns out that Iraqi troops cannot control the violence  al-Maliki will be vulnerable to criticism from rivals -- both if he has to ask the Americans to return but also if he fails to enforce security without them.
 Some American commanders have said they were taken aback by al-Malikial-Maliki's insistence on taking credit for all the security successes in Iraq  but they also see the importance of having him and Iraqi troops appear strong  especially in the face of multiple insurgent factions intent on destabilizing the government.
 Gen. Raymond T. Odierno brushed aside the dismissive tone of Iraqi leaders' public remarks about the Americans  saying that al-Maliki had personally thanked him on Monday night and again on Tuesday for the sacrifices American troops have made.

[Q]: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Irma is Negative . Hurricane Irma Leaves Devastation Of 'Epic Proportions' In Caribbean
A string of tiny Caribbean islands have been left stunned and devastated by the destructive force of  Hurricane Irma   one of the strongest storms ever to hit the region. Some islands appear to have been spared  but others suffered loss of life and damage on a near-apocalyptic scale.
In Barbuda  communications were severed as  Irma  made landfall just before midnight on Tuesday. Antigua  25 miles to the south  dodged the full force of the storm  prompting Prime Minister Gaston Browne at first to declare it a miracle that his nation had been spared.
"I journeyed to Barbuda this afternoon and what I saw was heart-wrenching  absolutely devastating " Browne said on state-owned television Wednesday afternoon. "In fact  I believe that on a per capita basis  the extent of the destruction in Barbuda is unprecedented. And it is unprecedented  based on the type of storm. Hurricane Irma would have been easily the most powerful hurricane to have stormed through the Caribbean  and it is extremely unfortunate that Barbuda was right in its path."
Some six hours later  Irma smashed into St. Martin  about 60 miles northwest of Barbuda. The island was directly in the storm's path  and the half-French  half-Dutch island suffered horrendously as a result.
North of St. Martin  the low-lying British island of Anguilla took what U.K. Foreign Office Minister Alan Duncan described as the full force of Irma.
The British and U.S. Virgin Islands  popular tourist and charter boat destinations  were next in the path of Hurricane Irma. The outer bands of the approaching storm began to lash the islands early Wednesday afternoon.
"We are very grateful to be able to report that all of our team on Island have been accounted for as safe as well. Necker Island felt the effects of  Hurricane Irma  and sustained extensive damage  the extent of which we are still assessing."
Although Irma passed just north of Puerto Rico  sparing it a full-on hit from the storm  the island's precarious electrical infrastructure couldn't withstand the glancing blow. More than 1 million Puerto Ricans were reportedly without electricity.
Like the Dominican Republic  Haiti is only getting a sideswipe from  Irma   but unlike its neighbor on the island of Hispaniola  the land in French-speaking Haiti has been largely denuded of trees  leaving it especially vulnerable to landslides and flooding from heavy rains.
"It looks like Haiti won't get a direct hit from  Irma   and that's fortunate because the country is still struggling to recover from Hurricane Matthew  which wiped out the country nearly a year ago " said Hervil Cherubin  country director for Heifer International  a nonprofit working with 15 000 farming families across Haiti.
