Burkina Faso crisis: Army promises 'transition body'

Burkina Faso's military says it will install a transitional government, days after it seized power following President Blaise Compaore's resignation. 

The move came after soldiers 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 yesterday's clashes. 

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

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

The army has since named Lieutenant Colonel Isaac Zida as the leader of a transitional government.
