Justify your answer using the provided evidence and select the correct label.\n\nClaim: US President Donald Trump says four hundred miles of wall are getting built along the US-Mexico border.\n\nQ1: How many miles of border wall did Trump build?\nA1: Officials say the construction starting in February is only part of the picture. Funding from fiscal year 2018, they say, also covers the cost of building 70 more miles of barriers – about 57 miles of which is replacement fencing.\n\nAnd if the Trump administration’s proposal for $5.7 billion more for a border wall is approved, officials say they’ll be able to build 234 miles of new and replacement barriers – about 100 miles of which will cover parts of the border that didn’t have a barrier before.\n\nBut given that a partial government shutdown over the wall is already in its fifth week, whether that work will happen – and exactly what will happen next – is anybody’s guess.\n\nQ2: Is there a construction of four hundred miles of wall by Trump on the Mexico border ?\nA2: A few prototypes were built in 2017, and over 100 miles of existing barriers have been, or are slated to be, repaired or replaced.\nU.S. Customs and Border Protection said about 205 miles of new and replacement barriers have been funded since January 2017, and as of May 23, work had been completed on 42 miles of replacement fencing in California, Texas and Arizona.\n\nA few prototypes with different designs were built in San Diego in 2017 and tested, but they have been demolished to make way for fencing. U.S. Customs and Border Protection has said the prototypes could “inform future border wall design standards in some capacity.”\n\nQ3: How much did Trump's border wall cost?\nA3: President Donald Trump’s “wall” along the U.S.-Mexico border would be a series of fences and walls that would cost as much as $21.6 billion, and take more than three years to construct, based on a U.S. Department of Homeland Security internal report seen by Reuters on Thursday.\n\nQ4: Are four hundred miles of wall getting built along the US-Mexico border in 2019?\nA4: No answer could be found.\n\nQ5: When was this claim made?\nA5: 08/05/2019\n\nQ6: How many miles does the U.S.-Mexico border span as of 2019?\nA6: 2,000-mile U.S.-Mexico border\n\nQ7: How many miles of the 2,000-mile U.S.-Mexico border are fenced as of 2019?\nA7: Today’s walls and fences already cover 700 miles\n\nQ8: How many miles has the Trump administration secured funding for the U.S.-Mexico border?\nA8: No answer could be found.\n\nQ9: How many miles does the Trump administration want to add to the U.S.-Mexico border?\nA9: No answer could be found.\n\nQ10: How much of the U.S.-Mexico border has the Trump administration built so far?\nA10: No answer could be found.\n\nQ11: Where is Trump's border wall being built?\nA11: If you consider the barrier projects built recently to be \"border walls,\" here are some of the locations: \n\nIn April, the Border Patrol began construction of a \"border wall\" near El Paso at Santa Teresa, N.M. During a press conference, Aaron Hull, Chief Patrol Agent of the U.S. Border Patrol in El Paso sector, mostly referred to the project as the wall, sometimes calling it \"fence\" but quickly correcting himself. Hull said the metal barrier was the same design as others from the 2006 Secure Fence Act. The new barrier replaced existing metal posts which were designed only to block vehicles. \nIn September, the Border Patrol announced construction of \"a new 4-mile section of bollard wall\" in the historic Chihuahuita neighborhood in El Paso. The new bollards replaced existing chain-link fencing.\nIn October, border officials marked the completion of 2 miles of barriers near Calexico, Calif. Crews had replaced older metal fencing with new, 30-foot steel bollards, a project identified as a priority and funded under President Barack Obama.\nIn November, Customs and Border Protection officials announced a contract for about 6 miles of \"wall system\" in the Rio Grande Valley. The project is supposed to include a concrete levee wall \"to the height of the existing levee\" with 18-foot bollards on top. That barrier is not being built yet; it's set to be started in February.\nNone of those barriers look like the wall prototypes built near San Diego, which Trump visited and praised earlier this year.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "justification: Based on the statistics provided in the QA pairs, less than 400 miles of wall are getting built under the administration of Trump.\n\nverdict: 'Refuted'", "role": "assistant" } ]

Justify your answer using the provided evidence and select the correct label.\n\nClaim: Bumblebee has officially been added to the ever-growing list of endangered species\n\nQ1: Is the bumblebee an endangered species?\nA1: Yes, because On January 11, 2017, the Fish and Wildlife Service published a rule to list the rusty patched bumble bee (Bombus affinis), a species that occurs in the eastern and Midwestern United States and Ontario, Canada, as an endangered species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). The rule was to be effective on February 10, 2017.\n\nQ2: When is a species considered as endangered?\nA2: The conservation status of a species indicates the likelihood that it will become extinct. Multiple factors are considered when assessing the status of a species; e.g., such statistics as the number remaining, the overall increase or decrease in the population over time, breeding success rates, or known threats.[4] The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species is the best-known worldwide conservation status listing and ranking system.[5]\n\nOver 50% of the world's species are estimated to be at risk of extinction.[6] Internationally, 195 countries have signed an accord to create Biodiversity Action Plans that will protect endangered and other threatened species. In the United States, such plans are usually called Species Recovery Plans.\n\nQ3: What role do bees play in the ecosystem?\nA3: More than 75 percent of the world's food crops rely to some extent on pollination for yield and quality. The absence of bees and other pollinators would wipe out coffee, apples, almonds, tomatoes and cocoa, to name just a few of the crops that rely on pollination.\n \n\"Each one of us has an individual responsibility towards protecting bees and we should all make pollinator-friendly choices. Even growing flowers at home to feed bees contributes to this effort,\" Graziano da Silva said.\n\nPollinators, such as bees, wild bees, birds, bats, butterflies and beetles fly, hop and crawl over flowers to help plants fertilize. Pollinator numbers and diversity have declined in the past decades, and evidence indicates that the decline is primarily a consequence of human activities including climate change which can disrupt flowering seasons.\n\nQ4: What is the endangered species act?\nA4: Under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 in the United States, species may be listed as \"endangered\" or \"threatened\". The Salt Creek tiger beetle (Cicindela nevadica lincolniana) is an example of an endangered subspecies protected under the ESA. The US Fish and Wildlife Service, as well as the National Marine Fisheries Service are held responsible for classifying and protecting endangered species. They are also responsible for adding a particular species to the list, which can be a long, controversial process\n\nQ5: why was bumblebee added to the list of endangered species?\nA5: “The rusty-patched bumblebee (Bombus affinis), once a common sight, is “now balancing precariously on the brink of extinction,” according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Once thriving in 28 states and the District of Columbia, but over the past two decades, the bee’s population has plummeted nearly 90 percent.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "justification: Q&A 1 shows that yes the Bumblebee was added to the list of endangered species as claimed.
