Burkina Faso: Military vow to install a transitional government

Burkina Faso's military has said it will install a transitional government, days after it seized power as President Blaise Compaore's resigned.

The move came after soldiers had fired shots at the state TV station and barricaded the capital's main square as thousands of protesters demanded the military give up power.

At least one demonstrator was killed in Sunday's clashes.

The UN has also condemned the military takeover and threatened sanctions.

Long-time leader Mr Compaore quit on Thursday, following days of anti-government protests.

The army named Lieutenant Colonel Isaac Zida as the leader of a transitional government on Saturday.

However, thousands of protesters gathered on Sunday in the capital Ouagadougou, demonstrating against the army.

On Sunday evening, following a meeting with key opposition figures, a military spokesman said the army would put in place "a transition body... with all the components to be adopted by a broad consensus".

"Power does not interest us, only the greater interest of the nation," the military said in a statement (in French).

After the confusion of these past few days, the situation was very tense on Sunday in Burkina Faso's capital.

People were back on the streets this morning to demand the return of civilian rule.

But then shots were fired next to the national television station and people were scared, fleeing in all directions. After that, we saw crowds disperse and flee every time they saw an army vehicle.

Some are angry at the army. Other says the latest violence is the responsibility of the presidential guard - commanded by Col Zida.

Rihanna Returns to Instagram After ban for posting racy pictures

Rihanna is back on Instagram. She greeted her followers by posting a picture of her upside-down face with caption "Hellurrr #badgalback." She followed it up with a cute picture of her cartoon self holding hands with an Instagram mascot.

RiRi is one of the most followed celebrities on the social network, but it didn't make her immune from the site's strict rules against nudity. Her account briefly disappeared earlier this year for violating the community guidelines after she posted racy pictures.

The company quickly apologized, "This account was mistakenly caught in one of our automated systems and very briefly disabled. We apologize for any inconvenience." The account @badgalriri was soon restored, but RiRi decided to abandon it.

Rihanna is not the only celebrity who had issues with Instagram's nude policy. Scout Willis, the daughter of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, once walked around New York topless to fight the nude policy. Most recently, Chelsea Handler called the social network "sexist" for taking down her topless picture.

Marcos Rojo dislocate shoulder in Manchester derby match- LVG

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has confirmed defender Marcos Rojo dislocated his shoulder during Sunday's 1-0 derby defeat to Manchester City.

Rojo had to be stretchered off in the second half following a sliding tackle and was replaced by Paddy McNair.

"The shoulder is out, you never know how long that will take, I have to wait until tomorrow I think but he shall not play against Crystal Palace," he told Sky Sports. "We have a lot of injuries in defence but you have seen how Michael Carrick and Paddy McNair came in. I don't think that is the problem.

"We still have 11 players to play and also very good players, so I don't cry for that but it is sometimes difficult to select the best team, but I think i can manage that and we are close, you can see it every week, but you need more points.

"I see the fans are applauding after the game, so they see also that the boys are willing to give everything for the shirt of the club."

Here comes First Trailer for 'Furious 7'

Furious 7 is bringing back its cadre of stars, including Paul Walker, whose part needed to be reworked after his tragic death last year, with the addition of Jason Statham as a murderous villain. Nathalie Emmanuel, who you may recognize as Missandei from Game of Thrones, is in the mix as well.

The trailer features the kind of over-the-top stunts you'd expect as well as a few subtle nods to Walker's role. "One last ride," Vin Diesel's character says as the camera cuts to Walker's face.

It should be no surprise that a film series that went from standard street races to city-destroying bank heists and highway tank battles is trying to up the ante again. This time, the crew drives their cars out of a cargo plane. (Don't worry. The cars have parachutes.)

While we don't learn much of the plot outside of general themes of "vengeance" and "family," it's the little things — Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson breaking his arm out of a cast, Michelle Rodriguez saving Paul Walker's life with her car's spoiler, Vin Diesel doing everything Vin Diesel does — that make this one look just as exciting as the past few.

Walker's untimely death left some scenes unfinished, and the filmmakers decided to round it out with the use of CGI and his brothers as stand-ins. The release of the trailer sparked some emotional responses from his costars.

"Very emotional seeing Paul on screen, yet beautiful at the same time," Johnson posted on his Facebook page. "I miss brother Paul. We all do…"
