Burkina Faso president defies calls to step down
Burkina Faso's President Blaise Compaore says he will stay in power for a year under a transitional government, following a day of violent protests demanding his resignation.
Earlier, demonstrators angered by his bid to extend his 27-year rule torched parliament and government buildings.
Mr Compaore said he would hand over power once the transitional government had completed its 12-month term.
