Hi, I'm Martin, Happy Friday this

is Newsround, all this on the way.

Astronaut Tim Peake

answers your questions.

Ronaldo equals Messi

by winning his fifth Ballon d'Or.

And the festive lights

sparkling in France.

First, if you're from

the European Union and you

are living in the UK,

or if you are British

and living in the EU,

we've got some big news for you.

Here's what you need to know.

So, the UK is leading a club of 28

countries called the European Union.

-- leaving. Lots of people have

called this Brexit. When British

people voted to leave last year it

wasn't clear what would happen to

the 3 million people from the EU

will appear in Britain. And also

what would happen to British people

living in EU countries. That got

some people worried. But now the

British government and the European

Union have agreed that everyone will

be allowed to carry on living and

working where they are now. The two

side say they've also come to an

agreement about the border between

Northern Ireland and the Republic of

Ireland. This issue has caused big

problems and the details still need

to be worked out. Finally, it's also

been agreed that when the UK leaves

it will pay money to the EU. So it

isn't yet known how much that will

be, it's likely to cost tens and

billions of pounds. That is Brexit

all sorted, then? Not quite. Even

though the two side have agreed on

these three big issues, there are

still loads of things that we'll

need to sort out before the UK

leaves the EU in 2019.

And if you want to find out

more about Brexit go

to our online guide now.

Football now and Cristiano Ronaldo

has won his fith Ballon d'Or beating

Barcelona's Lionel Messi to this

year's title .

It's the second year in a row that

he's won the award and has now

won it the same amount

of times as Messi.

He helped Real Madrid win

the Champions League and their first

La Liga title since 2012 this year

and scored 42 goals for Real

in all competitions.

Next to a guest who is out of this

world, astronaut Tim Peake came

into the studio earlier to answer

some of your questions.

Take a look.

This is no longer newsround HQ, just

for a moment this is mission

control. And that is because we have

a very special guest is about to

join all of us here. Are you ready?

Yes!

I think they're ready. It's the

one, the only, Tim Peake! Wonderful.

Tim, lovely to meet you. Welcome to

Newsround. Thanks for joining us at

Newsround HQ, straight to the first

question.

What do you miss most

about space?

Two things, first thing

I miss is weightlessness, floating

around in space. The second thing is

the view of planet Earth.

We have a

great question here, what is your

question?

If you had to name a new

planet what would you name it?

I'd

have to see at first, you've got to

see some thing to be able to come up

with a name. Yeah, loads of new

planets out there. Loads of

potential.

What about you?

So what

difference in experience is there

from the earth atmosphere to zero

gravity?

I mean, coming back into

Earth's atmosphere is incredible,

you get the re-entry, the heat,

deceleration, up in space it's

really liberating, you're floating

around. Seeing the stars at night at

Earth by day is beautiful.

What is

your question?

What was your

inspiration to become an amazing

astronaut?

I've had lots of

inspirational characters to my life,

the first thing I wanted to do was

become a pilot, test pilot. People

like Chuck Yeager, reading books

like the right stuff, he was very

inspirational.

Not every day you get

an astronaut at Newsround HQ and

those questions were awesome.

Finally, we're heading to Lyon

in France where something

spectacular is happening right now.

The city's annual Festival of Lights

has been pulling in the crowds.

1 million visitors are expected

to see the displays.

50 light projections make buildings

and streets come to life.

That's got me feeling

really festive.

That's all from me for now

but Newsround is back

with Whitney across the weekend.

Enjoy the rest of your Friday, guys.
