Hello, I'm Hayley with all today's

news including the top sporting

action from the weekend.

First to the Premier League

where Manchester United beat Arsenal

3-1 in a thriller last night.

United's goals came

from Antonio Valencia

and two by Jesse Lingard.

Arsenal tried to fight back

but they were stopped by a string

of outstanding saves from United

goalkeeper David de Gea.

But it was a bad night for

United's Paul Pogba, who was sent

off for this tackle.

He'll now miss the Manchester City

derby next weekend.

Liverpool beat Brighton 5-1.

Roberto Firmino scored

twice, sending the reds

to fourth in the table.

Everton won in Sam Allardyce's

first match in charge,

beating Huddersfield 2-0 thanks

to goals from Gilfi Sigurdsson

and Dominic Calvert-Lewin goals.

Next, believe it or not,

there's loads of junk floating

around in space and it can be

a problem for spacecraft and

satellites trying to work up there.

I've been finding out

about a mission to give

the atmosphere a clear-up!

There are around half a million

pieces of junk in space. Bits of old

rockets, satellites that don't work

and even things that astronauts have

dropped. All that rubbish weighs

around 7500 tonnes. That's more than

the weight of 1000 elephants. And

this space junk can do serious

damage. Just a tiny flag of paint

caused this crack on the

International Space Station. A

European satellite that stopped

working years ago is still orbiting

around Earth. It's the size of a

double-decker bus and could be a big

problem for satellite in its path

trying to do their own job. But the

removed debris spacecraft could be

the answer. Next year, a team of UK

scientists will test out a harpoon

and a net to grab floating space

junk. The rubbish will then burn up

as it gets dragged back towards

Earth. Good luck with the cleaning!

Well, sticking with space,

if you look to the sky tonight

you could be in for a treat

because the moon will appear far

bigger and brighter.

It's called a "Supermoon"

and will look so big

because its closer to Earth

than usual.

Now, forget texting, snapchatting

or instagramming your mates.

These kids in Kidderminster

are going old school.

Dear Dad, thank you so much

for your very lovely

and well-written letter.

Putting pen to paper.

These guys are pen pals

with a local home for

the elderly.

You get to listen to what places

they've been to and what

they've been doing.

And cheeky stuff they've done.

You get to ask them all

the questions you really want

and most the time they answer.

Without Snapchat or Instagram,

they're still having fun.

But what do their older

pen pals think about

it?

Enid, I got a letter from the school

from one of your pen pals called

Tilly.

Shall I read it to you?

They are lovely, those kids.

Rhys asks, what was

your favourite trip?

Weston-Super-Mare.

Weston-Super-Mare!

Up to now, it's just been

letters, but just before

Christmas, they will meet in real

life and be able to share their

stories face-to-face.

And if you thought that was strange

then why not check out the week's

strange news from the Newsround

Team.

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes

Santa Claus! Santa might struggle to

get down the chimney at this house,

though, because it's made out of

gingerbread. Moores than 10,000

pieces of it. Over a tonne of icing

and candy was also used. Sweet! It's

a holiday tradition in San

Francisco, and it's taken over two

weeks to make it. I bet it wouldn't

take the Newsround team that long to

eat it. This is Donovan. He's got to

be the oldest land animal in the

world, at a whopping 185 years old.

That explains all the wrinkles! He

lives on the remote Atlantic Ocean

island Saint Leonard, weird he's a

bit of a local celebrity. When he

was younger, he was of disrupting

games of croquet and sitting under

tables at the parties. He is one

speSHELL targets. What a view! What

are they doing? That is a pretty

unusual way to get on a plane. These

people decided to board a flying

plane by throwing themselves off of

a mountain in the Swiss Alps. They

are both wearing flying suit and

somehow managed to make it the door.

I'm sure there is an easier way,

guys. That was amazing!

Finally, lots of you are getting

in touch to tell us who you think

should win tonight's X Factor final.

Eleven-year-old Aiden from Edinburgh

says he wants Rak-su to win

because they are amazing.

Summer from Darlington likes Rak-Su

too because they are so fun

and they make people happy.

But ten-year-old Lizzy

from West Yorkshire says

she really wants Grace to win

and loves her so much.

And Baylie from Shropshire

is supporting Grace

because she writes her own songs

and her voice is beautiful.

Thank you to everyone

who sent in messages.

You can read more of them over

on Newsround online.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Whitney's back in the morning.
