Kim Kardashian dresses as Anna Wintour in Halloween costume

Kim revealed her first Halloween look in an Instagram snap.

The beauty dressed in a skintight skeleton costume, already hinting it was the first of many to come, captioning it, 'Look #1'.

She showed off her famous curves in a form-fitting black bodysuit while looking barely recognisable in elaborate face make-up.

A white skeleton was painted onto her leotard as she stood in what looked to be a backyard. 

The star's face was painted white and her eyes rimmed in thick black paint.

She added black stripes to her white lips and black paint on her nose and cheeks to give the impression of a skull.

KIm kept it simple with her hair, merely adding volume to her roots and scraping back her locks, allowing her tresses to hang loose down her back.

The reality star had already treated fans to a glimpse of her daughter's festive costume.

She dressed the one-year-old as a furry skunk for the festivities.

'A skunk is on the loose!!!!' wrote Kim, alongside the picture of bare-footed North.

Burkina Faso's Armed forces divided over who rules

A split has emerged within Burkina Faso's armed forces over who is leading the country following the resignation of President Blaise Campaore after 27 years in power.

The presidential guard's second in command, Colonel Isaac Zida, says he has assumed power as head of state.

Earlier, army chief General Honore Traore said he had taken over.

Crowds danced and cheered in the capital Ouagadougou after Mr Compaore's resignation was announced on Friday.

It came a day after protesters angry at his attempt to amend the constitution and extend his 27-year hold on the presidency set fire to parliament and government buildings.

Speaking on Saturday, Col Zida said Gen Traore's claim to be head of state was now "obsolete".

"I now assume... the responsibilities of head of the transition and of head of state to assure the continuation of the state" and a "smooth democratic transition", said Col Zida in a televised address quoted by AFP news agency.

People celebrate after news of the resignation

And Reuters quoted Col Zida, in a statement read out on local radio, as saying: "I assume the functions of head of state and I call on (West African regional bloc) Ecowas and the international community to demonstrate their understanding and support the new authorities."Friday saw Mr Compaore issue a statement saying the presidency was now vacant, and urging elections within 90 days.

His whereabouts are now unclear.

Van Gaal: Wayne Rooney will be ready for Mnchester City in sunday's derby

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal believes Wayne Rooney will be at his sharpest in Sunday's derby against Manchester City -- despite going five weeks without a game.
Rooney makes his comeback for his club after serving a three-match ban for his red card against West Ham, and while the England striker has a track record of needing match action to reach peak form, Van Gaal is convinced his captain is ready.
He told a news conference: "I think he is very fit because he is training very good. That was also my surprise that he always is very sharp in training sessions. I said that already in the USA [in preseason], and he has continued that attitude, so I am very happy.
"I think he is very fit to play. I don't have any doubt to play him."

South African football captain Senzo Meyiwa's funeral to be held in Durban

Tens of thousands of mourners are expected to attend the funeral of South African football captain Senzo Meyiwa in Durban on Saturday.

Meyiwa, 27, was shot on Sunday, apparently after burglars entered his girlfriend's house near Johannesburg.

A suspect appeared in court on Friday and was charged with the murder of the popular goalkeeper.

Meyiwa's death shocked South Africa and has highlighted the high rates of violent crime in the country.

The funeral is due to take place at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Meyiwa's hometown of Durban, with mourners expected from across the country.

The funeral of another South African sporting hero, former 800m world champion Mbulaeni Mulaudzi, will also take place on Saturday.

Mulaudzi was killed in a car accident the day before Meyiwa's death.

Minister Jeff Radebe is expected to deliver the eulogy at the funeral.

President Zuma has also ordered the national flag to be flown at half-mast on Saturday to honour the goalkeeper.

South Africa's domestic football league postponed a match between Orlando Pirates and Kaiser Chiefs after the death of Meyiwa.

Authorities also announced that the South African national team would play their next Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Sudan in his hometown Durban.

Police said on Friday that a suspect had been identified in Meyiwa's killing after an identity parade.
