Students: This Is Mr. Sanders Sixth-Grade Class from Loogootee Middle School, and Channel

Students: This is Mr. Sanders’ sixth-grade class from Loogootee Middle School, and Channel One News starts right now!

Arielle: Thanks to Mr. Sanders’ class from Loogootee Middle School for getting us started. I am Arielle Hixson, and let’s start into headlines.

First up today, we are taking a look at the young lives caught up in the wars around the world. A new report says children now make up more than half of the world's refugees — people who are fleeing their home country because of war or violence.

The number is shocking because it means that one out of every 200 children in the world is a refugee. The UNICEF report shows that around the world, more than 50 million children have been forced to move to another country or been displaced within their own country. More than half have fled their homes because of conflicts like the civil war in Syria.

The global conflicts in Africa, the Middle East and the Turkey–Syria border have forced the number of child refugees to jump 75 percent. Currently, the United States and the Middle Eastern countries of Saudi Arabia and Jordan are home to the largest number of child migrants.

The data show that many of the kids face poverty and discrimination and lack any kind of legal representation. UNICEF is now calling on all countries to respect and protect the rights of all children within their borders.

Okay, next up, about 35,000 college students are in limbo today after a large vocational school shutdown. ITT Technical Institute announced it would close all of its 130 campuses around the country. It is because the Department of Education recently blocked the school from enrolling new students using federal aid money.

The federal government has been cracking down on colleges like ITT Tech, for-profit schools that operate like a business rather than a nonprofit. Investigators say the schools often mislead students in order to get them to enroll, making promises about jobs that are not realistic.

Jennifer Dittoe, a nursing student from Illinois, completed two years of courses at the school and was due to graduate this week.

Jennifer Dittoe: If that gets cancelled, yes, we have a degree. It's not guaranteed we can sit for our NCLEX, which is our national test to become a nurse, whether licensed or registered.

1 | P a g e Arielle: ITT said the government’s actions are unconstitutional and inappropriate.

Okay, now it is time to hear what you said about celebs promoting products on social media without really telling you. They have all done it, from pop star Selena Gomez to Olympian Usain Bolt.

We asked you, should celebrities have to make it clear when they are getting paid to promote a product? And you guys were split right down the middle — 50/50.

Mackenzie said, “No, I believe celebrities have the same rights as normal citizens and have the freedom of speech to post pictures that are not provocative. #1stAmendment”

Mrs. Lesher's class said, “If celebrities are going to promote products just to get money, then they should say it so the public knows.”

And Wren said, "That's just wrong. People should know that the celebrity is just advertising because they're getting money.” Thanks for the comments, guys — there are a whole lot more on ChannelOne.com.

Okay, up next, an American hero treated differently for being a woman is finally getting her final wish.

Arielle: This next story is about an American hero whose legacy will impact generations to come. Azia is here with the story.

Azia: Yeah, Arielle. Elaine Harmon was a female World War II pilot who wanted to be laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery, the famous military burial ground in Washington, D.C. And this week she finally got her wish after a long battle.

Terry Harmon was handed the burial flag as her mother was finally given military honors at Arlington National Cemetery. Elaine Harmon was a member of the Women Airforce Service Pilots, also known as WASPs. She was one of about a thousand women who earned their pilot wings and flew planes during World War II in noncombat missions.

Terry Harmon: This is something that my mother worked hard to earn.

Azia: But when the aviator died more than a year ago, she was denied her final wish to be buried at Arlington because she didn't serve in a combat role. But her family decided to fight.

Erin Miller: It's not an easy thing to have to ask Congress to pass a law just to bury your grandmother.

2 | P a g e Azia: Arizona Congresswoman Martha McSally, who is a retired Air Force fighter pilot and the first woman to fly in combat, helped pushed through the law.

Representative Martha McSally: These women were amazing pioneers, and they opened up doors for women like me to become military pilots later. This is personal for me.

Azia: Ninety-two-year-old Florence Shutsy is one of less than 100 WASPs still alive. Known as just Shutsy, she joined Elaine's family in the fight to get that final wish fulfilled.

Florence Shutsy: I'm a great believer in dreams. Got a dream, go for it. I did. Don't give up.

Azia: Azia Celestino, Channel One News.

Arielle: The WASP program lasted from 1942 to 1944.

Now coming up, yesterday it was all about Hillary, but today we give you the lowdown on the Donald.

Arielle: All right, next up, it is time for OneVote, with another candidate trying to make his way to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. And Tom is here to talk about the one and only Donald Trump.

Tom: One and only, indeed, Arielle. Trump probably has the most unexpected route to this presidential election. From millionaire to reality star, he has done it all but hold political office. Now let's take a look at Donald Trump's journey into politics — cue the music.

My name Trump. I know you seen my name in the sky. I am from Queens, baby boy, New York City — we fly high.

My pops made millions selling buildings and property. Born in 46, for 40 years I been dominant.

Military school taught me confidence, policy, discipline. From my father it made me stronger — undoubtedly.

3 | P a g e Work hard for what you want, and you could get it no problem. Go further than the stars with no gimmicks — just product.

See, I was a student leader and a star athlete. Got a degree from Wharton School of Finance. Took over my pops’ work — it is all mine now! It is my time now!

Tell them boys calm down, and we got everything done by 1971. My name all over the world, you could hate it or love it.

Wrote “The Art of the Deal,” 87 was real. Made some mil off my thoughts, turned myself to a star.

Miss USA I once owned the pageant, then I got my own show where I fired slackers.

Everything I touch gold — King Midas status. I am from a different cloth; you know, the finest fabrics.

You know I gotta have it. I know the game. I am a captain; it right.

Melania, my first lady, made a model my wife. Five kids in the end, y’all, those are my life. So I am raising them right so they seeing the light.

Follow me on Twitter @trump 10 million. This ain't age, baby girl; trust me, this is experience.

4 | P a g e You could say what you want, but the fact is I am perfect. Lemme show you I deliver on time with a purpose.

My name is Trump da da da da da da

Arielle: So cool. I never knew that he went to a military high school.

Tom: You know, I didn’t either, but, you know, his dad apparently said that he needed discipline, and I guess he got it.

Arielle: Uh, possibly. And he was a popular guy.

Tom: Yeah, definitely back in the day, but flash-forward to the election now, and he is very polarizing. Americans either love him or they hate him.

You know, since he first said that he was running for president last year, it has been one comment after another that has caused outrage. And his critics say he has gone as far as insulting immigrants, war heroes, women and even a disabled reporter. So lots of controversy there, but you know what? His fans say that they don’t care and that they actually like the fact that he doesn't play nice, so…

Arielle: Fair enough for them. But like Hillary Clinton, he is also struggling with lots of scandals and controversy.

Tom: Yeah, you know, in fact, students are actually suing him for his Trump University. They say it was a scam, that the online school allegedly taught his real-estate business secrets and cost up to $35,000 — lots of money, so…

He has also made several questionable business deals, and so far, he is the only candidate running for president that hasn’t released his tax returns — those are the money documents that show about just how much money you have made in a year and also how much you have paid in taxes, so lots of questions there, Arielle.

Arielle: Very tricky. Thank you, Tom.

Okay, well, next up, he does have some fans and some haters in our Team OneVote. Let’s see what they had to say.

5 | P a g e Phillip: Donald Trump is a successful, intelligent gentleman. He said, “I’m gonna run this country like a business,” and Hillary Clinton thinks that’s a very bad thing to say. He successfully ran businesses; he’s gonna successfully run our country’s economy. That’s all he’s saying. He’s not saying that our country’s less of value or anything. Trump — I’m with him all the way.

Elliot: Trump regularly insults our allies and praises our enemies. I cannot have respect for the things that Donald Trump says about large groups of people: condemnation of, you know, Muslims, people who come from Mexico, immigrants, LGBT people.

Malcolm: I’m supporting Donald J. Trump for president, and I think the only change is someone as radical, as different as Donald J. Trump. I think a Trump administration would do a much better job at establishing itself as a powerhouse nation as it once was in the 20th century. I think under Don Trump, we would become — we would reattain our greatness as a nation.

Arielle: Always great to hear from Team OneVote. Plus, you can check out their blogs about where they stand on the issues over at ChannelOne.com. And if you think Trump or Hillary isn't for you, then tomorrow we check out the third-party candidates.

We will see you then.
