Hi
I love the News App, or loved. Since the update i'm forced to see "Top Stories" & "Trending Stories" in the app which contains subjects i have absolutely no interest in. This means instead of having my nice news feed of Photography, Technology etc etc i now have to see Donald Trumps face and mundane stories related to people living with Bears.
How can i turn these "features" off?

You can't.
You can submit your feedback to Apple here:
thanks for your reply, but I don't think you actually answered my question - is there a way to remove the whole "trending stories" section?

As noted in my reply just above this, no, you can't.
