White smoke emerges from Vatican, Pope elected
The 115 cardinals held the first vote in the Sistine Chapel on Tuesday but it proved to be inconclusive.
The cardinals have been in a meeting for a second day to elect the new pope who will succeed Pope Benedict.
A large crowd has gathered at St Peter's Square. He will appear on the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica, after a church makes the official announcement - "Habemus Papum" - "We have a pope" - and provides the name of the new pontiff in Latin.
