Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Saad al-Hariri ? BEIRUT (Reuters) - Lebanonâs Shiâite Hezbollah group on Sunday accused Saudi Arabia of forcing  Lebanese Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri  to quit  and called for calm in an effort to contain the political crisis unleashed by  his  resignation.

Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah  the leader of Iran-backed Hezbollah  said there should be no political escalation in response to  Hariri âs declaration on Saturday  which was made from Saudi Arabia and came as surprise even to his aides.
 Hariri   in a televised speech  said there was a plot to kill him  and accused Hezbollah and its Iranian backers of sowing strife in the Arab world.
Nasrallah said âlegitimate questionsâ were being asked over whether  Hariri  had been detained in Saudi Arabia  where news emerged on Sunday that royals  ministers and investors had been arrested in an anti-corruption purge.
Speaking in a televised address  Nasrallah said: âThe resignation was a Saudi decision dictated to  Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri  and was forced on  him .â
Nasrallah said Lebanonâs political leaders expected  Hariri  to return to Lebanon on Thursday âif  he  is allowedâ to travel.
Sunni Muslim Saudi Arabia  a political ally of  Hariri   is locked in a bitter tussle for power across the Middle East with Shiâite Iran and its allies  including Hezbollah.
Lebanese President Michel Aoun will not accept  Hariri âs resignation until  he  returns to Lebanon to explain his reasons  palace sources said on Sunday  delaying for now the politically difficult consultations over his successor.
Nasrallah said he would not comment on accusations leveled against Hezbollah by  Hariri   describing his resignation announcement as a Saudi statement.
 Hariri âs resignation toppled a coalition government that included Hezbollah  thrusting Lebanon back into the frontline of the Saudi-Iranian regional rivalry and risking an open-ended political crisis.
Nasrallah said he had thought things were going well and had not wanted  Hariri  to quit.
 Hariri  allies in Lebanon have denied suggestions he had been detained and a photograph was published on his Twitter account showing him with Saudi Arabiaâs newly appointed ambassador to Lebanon  Walid al-Yaaqoub.
News of high-level arrests in Saudi Arabia fueled social media speculation in Lebanon that Hariri  a Saudi national  was a target. Nasrallah said âthere was legitimate concernâ  asking if  Hariri  had anything to do âwith this internal struggle between the princesâ.
Saudi-owned newspaper Asharq al-Awsat cited unnamed sources close to  Hariri  as speculating that  he  would probably remain outside Lebanon because of the security threat against  him .
In Lebanonâs sectarian system the president must be a Maronite Catholic  the prime minister a Sunni and the speaker of parliament a Shiâite.  Hariri  is Lebanonâs most influential Sunni politician.

Q: 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 . âI was very proud to say âNo  I donât [have a physical relationship with  Seacrest ] ââ she said she told them. âI never touched him  I never kissed him  I never fucked him  nothing. But I said  âBut he touched me.ââ

Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Landesbank Baden Wuertemberg ? Germany's Landesbank Baden Wuertemberg won EU approval Tuesday for a state bailout after it promised to shrink its balance sheet by 40 percent and refocus on lending to companies.
 The bank was several state-owned German institutions to run into trouble last year after it ran up more huge losses from investing in high-risk proprietary trading and capital market activities -- a business the EU has now told it to shun.
 Seven current and former managers of the bank are also being investigated by German authorities for risking or damaging the bank's capital by carrying out or failing to block investments in high-risk deals worth hundreds of millions from 2006.
 The European Commission said its Tuesday approval for the state rescue of the bank and its new restructuring plan would allow it become a viable business again -- and that the cutbacks would help limit the unfair advantage over rivals that the bank would get from the state aid.
 Stuttgart-based LBBW earlier this year received a capital injection of (EURO)5 billion from the bank's shareholders  all of them public authorities or state-owned  including the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg  the region's savings bank association and the city of Stuttgart.
