:00:00. > :00:00.Hi, I'm Martin with all of Friday's top stories just for you.

:00:11. > :00:32.Plus, the team making history in the FA Cup.
:00:33. > :00:40.Imagine what it would be like to make a phone call to space. A group
:00:41. > :00:43.of children had an assembly with a difference when they did just that
:00:44. > :00:48.and had a conversation with Tim Peake as he orbited above their
:00:49. > :00:55.heads. Today, the International Space Station crosses over this bit
:00:56. > :01:00.of earth for ten minutes. It is quite a small window in which the
:01:01. > :01:04.kids in this school will contact Tim Peake. They've been training for
:01:05. > :01:16.days for this. What training have you had? I had to take an exam and
:01:17. > :01:21.fit that into a few days. Just a few seconds to go until we get contact.
:01:22. > :01:30.We are feeling pretty nervous. Here we go. This is golf gravels Ciera
:01:31. > :01:48.Carling and standing by. I read you loud and clear, over.
:01:49. > :01:54.This is Jessica, from Saint old and is. Are you ready for your first
:01:55. > :02:01.question? I cannot believe that happened. It is not everyday you can
:02:02. > :02:06.speak to an astronaut in space. When we were making the phone call I was
:02:07. > :02:12.very nervous but when we heard his voice it blew our minds. I can tell
:02:13. > :02:14.you're shocked. It was out of this world.
:02:15. > :02:17.Now, lots of you will have said goodbye to your Christmas
:02:18. > :02:20.decorations this week, but what have you done with them?
:02:21. > :02:22.I've been to a recycling plant where they're giving old trees
:02:23. > :02:26.a new lease of life... There's nothing quite like the magic
:02:27. > :02:29.of a Christmas tree but come the start of January,
:02:30. > :02:32.a good way to put your tree to use And I've come to this waste centre
:02:33. > :02:38.in Greater Manchester to see These trees have been taken
:02:39. > :02:43.from people's houses and over there is household waste -
:02:44. > :02:49.but because of that it really But the good thing is these trees
:02:50. > :03:01.will be broken down in these big machines next to me
:03:02. > :03:09.and eventually made into compost. That is good for the environment but
:03:10. > :03:15.I will put my mask back on. As well as compost, trees can be
:03:16. > :03:18.made into wood chippings that can be And if your tree came in a pot,
:03:19. > :03:23.it could even be replanted The Carbon Trust, who are
:03:24. > :03:29.an environmental organisation, say that all these options
:03:30. > :03:32.are better than trees ending up in our non-recyclable waste,
:03:33. > :03:49.where they would decompose. We are interested in finding out
:03:50. > :03:54.whether real trees or artificial trees are better for the environment
:03:55. > :03:58.and the answer is real trees are better, artificial trees are made
:03:59. > :04:02.far-away in places like China, and are shipped over here. More people
:04:03. > :04:06.are recycling the Christmas trees because they are aware of the fact
:04:07. > :04:11.that it is a good thing to do and the local government are providing
:04:12. > :04:16.better facilities to turn them into new things.
:04:17. > :04:17.better facilities to turn them into Well this
:04:18. > :04:20.is what the trees I've seen today will end up as -
:04:21. > :04:23.bags of compost that can be used in our gardens and parks -
:04:24. > :04:25.and maybe even used to grow more Christmas trees.
:04:26. > :04:28.Football now, and tomorrow sees an FA Cup tie 70 years
