Hello, Jenny here with all the top stories this Thursday.

Let's get started.

There's just one day until this man, Donald Trump, officially takes

over as the President of the United States,

after winning the American election in November.

Leah's travelled to Freeland in the state of Pennsylvania,

which voted for Trump, to find out what kids

there like about their new leader, and what they hope he'll do.

This is a foggy Freeland.

It's a borough in Pennsylvania, home to just a few thousand people.

Most people in this area chose Donald Trump

to be their next president.

And most pupils at this school are Trump fans.

There's even a student Trump impressionist on hand

to kick-start the day.

Good morning.

This is your President, Donald J Trump.

Today's lunch is sloppy Joes with side salad.

Have a good day, God bless and make America great again.

So why has Trump made such a big impression here?

I like Donald Trump because I think he's done a lot as a businessman

and he can do a good amount of things for our country.

Coal is a big part of Pennsylvania and the North East.

I guess people like him because he promised

that he was going to keep those jobs going.

I like that he is a family guy, because, being, like,

a politician and, like, having a family is hard to do.

I hope that maybe he could bring jobs back, because there are so many

people now who are losing jobs and it's very sad to see people's

jobs go, like, to other countries.

Not everyone is a Trump fan, though.

I don't like Donald Trump because I don't think

he has enough experience.

He's really, like, a loudmouth.

He's not the nicest of people.

But, at the same time, apart from that,

you know what he's thinking.

A nervous feeling.

You don't know what he's going to do next.

While Trump came out on top in the election He goes

into the White House as the most unpopular president in decades.

He's got into trouble about comments he's made about women,

using words like "pig, fat or ugly".

And he's attacked different groups of people, too,

like Muslims or Mexicans.

Some people say he's not the right person

to lead the country because

he has a habit of lashing out at people he disagrees with.

He just did all this for attention

so that once he is inaugurated, he'll settle down a little bit.

I feel he's like everybody - some people have good days and bad days

but he's in the spotlight, so his bad days are worse than ours and his

good days are better than ours.

I feel if Donald Trump can bring those

jobs, then all of our towns will be better places.

I hope that he just makes our country a better country

and helps stuff go up for our country.

Next, to the coldest place on planet earth, Antarctica.

This huge crack has developed in the ice

there and it's causing some real problems for

scientists in the area.

Ayshah has this one.

It goes on for miles.

This huge crack deep into the ice has been captured

by a drone in Antarctica.

The crack is in an area called the Floating Brunt Ice Shelf,

and just ten miles from the crack, British scientists are based

at the Halley Research Station, which is made up of big,

blue pods, with a big red pod in the middle.

They've made the decision to move their base,

because they don't know what will happen to the ice shelf

in the next few months.

Luckily the pods are designed to move, with the legs

fitted onto big skis.

The next few months are important because the Antarctic winter will be

starting, and the area will be pitch black for months.

It also means that it'll be difficult to evacuate people

from the area in the winter conditions, where temperatures get

as low as -55 Celsius.

We've taken the prudent decision that, in the light of this

new crack, it would be better and the safest thing to do to close

the station in a controlled way and bring our team home,

because their safety is paramount to us.

The British Antarctic Survey also say that cracks in ice

shelves aren't unusual, but this new crack is growing.

They plan to go back to the area in November to carry on their work

when it's summertime again there.

And until then, they will monitor the crack.

That's all from the team today.

I'm back at 7.40am tomorrow morning with all the day's top stories,

so set your alarms.

Bye.
