Cardinals are entering the second day of the papal conclave to elect a new pope.
On Wednesday evening, black smoke rose from the Sistine Chapel chimney, signalling that the cardinals meeting in the conclave have not yet reached a decision.
Thousands of people gathered in St Peter’s Square to wait for the result of the first vote, which lasted about three hours.
The 133 cardinals retired overnight, and will have breakfast and attend Mass this morning before returning to deliberations.
They are allowed no communication with the outside world until a new pope is elected.
