Conclave live: Cardinals set for more talks after black smoke signals no pope chosen on first day
Black smoke has been seen from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel, meaning a new pope has not yet been elected – watch live at the top of this page.The cardinals gathered in the Vatican will therefore continue the process to elect a new head of the Catholic Church
The Vatican conclave will continue on Thursday with as many as four more rounds of voting. A two-thirds majority of the 133 cardinals is required to select a new leader for the world’s 1.4 billion Roman Catholics.
Black smoke puffed from a chimney above the Sistine Chapel on Wednesday night, signaling that 133 cardinals sequestered inside had not reached a decision in a first round of voting for a new pope to lead the world’s 1.4 billion Roman Catholics.
The initial vote had not been expected to yield a pontiff. The cardinals, the most ever to gather in a papal conclave, will retire to guest quarters at the Vatican and return on Thursday morning to continue voting. They will remain isolated during their deliberations, without phone or internet access and under oaths of total secrecy, until a two-thirds majority agrees on a candidate.

Conclave 2025 LIVE: View of St Peter’s Square with Conclave to be held on May 7 | Vatican Media LIVE | CNBC TV18
Live from Sant’Uffizio gate as cardinals arrive at the Vatican for a gathering of all members of the College of Cardinals after the pope’s death and before the start of the conclave.
ROME, ITALY (LOOKING AT VATICAN CITY) – View of the chimney on top of the Sistine Chapel roof, which will emit smoke at two fixed times in the day, once the conclave to elect a new pope starts on May 7.
With 179 cardinals present — 132 of them electors — the tenth congregation featured 26 interventions on key themes: the need for a Pope close to the people, the Church’s missionary nature, transmission of the faith, care for creation, and service to the poor. Who will be the next pope? Key candidates in an unpredictable process
A mourning mass is held in St Peter’s Basilica, as part of the official nine days of mourning, known as the “novendiali”, following the funeral of Pope Francis and ahead of the conclave to elect a new pope.
The decision will be made when the College of Cardinals begins meeting in conclave from 16:30 on 7 May in the 15th Century Sistine Chapel. It will involve 133 cardinals aged under 80, who will debate and then vote for their preferred candidate until a single name secures the support of two-thirds of them.
Their choice could have a profound impact on the Catholic Church and the world’s 1.4 billion baptised Roman Catholics, and it is harder than ever to predict who it will be.
With 80% of the cardinals appointed by Pope Francis himself, most are not only electing a pope for the first time, but will offer a broad global perspective. For the first time in history, fewer than half of those given a vote will be European.

Pope Conclave 2025 LIVE: Who Will Be Next Pope After Francis? | Cardinals Meet at Vatican | N18G

Live exteriors covering departures after cardinals meet on Monday for their 5th congregation, a gathering of all members of the College of Cardinals taking place after the pope’s death and before the start of the Conclave to discuss major church affairs and decide a date for the Conclave.
VATICAN CITY – View of people at St Peter’s Square two days after the burial of Pope Francis. At 1500gmt Cardinale Baldassarre Reina presides over a mourning mass for Pope Francis on the third day of Novendiali (nine days of mourning after the Pope’s death) at St.Peter’s basilica.
The death of a pope Francis sets in motion a series of carefully orchestrated rites and rituals well before the conclave to elect his successor begins. They involve the certification of death and public display of his body for the faithful to pay their respects, followed by the funeral and burial.
Pope Francis, who died on Monday, revised various rites last year, simplifying the funeral rituals to emphasize his role as a mere bishop and allowing for burial outside the Vatican in keeping with his wishes. But the core elements remain, including the three key moments that must be observed between the death of a pope and his burial.
The reforms are incorporated into the slim red volume “Ordo Exsequiarum Romani Pontificis,” Latin for “Rite of Burial for Roman Pontiffs.”
While popes often tinker with the rules regulating the conclave that elects their successor, a revision of the papal funeral rites hadn’t been undertaken since 2000.
The changes became necessary after Francis expressed his own wishes, and after Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI died on Dec. 31, 2022. For Benedict, the Vatican had to work out the novelty of a funeral for the first retired pope in 600 years.

Pope Francis LIVE: Tens of Thousands Wait in Long Queue To See Pope’s Open Casket | Vatican Media LIVE | CNBC TV18
More than 150,000 people from all over the world have viewed Pope Francis’s body as the Vatican makes the final preparations for his funeral on Saturday, an event that will be attended by 50 heads of state and 10 monarchs.
Many of the funeral guests, including the US president, Donald Trump, and his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, will arrive in Rome on Friday. Trump and his wife, Melania, are due to arrive on Air Force One at Fiumicino airport at 10.50pm local time.
Joe Biden will also attend, a spokesperson for the former US president said on Friday. Biden met Francis on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Italy last June.
At least 130 foreign delegations will be heading to the Italian capital, including Argentina’s president, Javier Milei, the British prime minister, Keir Starmer, the French president, Emmanuel Macron, and the Prince of Wales.
Seated in the front row at the funeral will be leaders from Francis’s home country of Argentina, with Italian leaders in the second row, and other heads of state and royals in the third.
Mourners are paying their respects to Pope Francis, whose body was moved from his Vatican residence to St Peter’s Basilica before his funeral on Saturday.
The Pope’s open coffin was carried on Wednesday morning in a solemn procession through St Peter’s Square where as many as 20,000 pilgrims had gathered, Vatican media said.
As the coffin crossed the square, bells tolled and crowds broke into applause – a traditional Italian sign of respect.
The Pope died on Monday aged 88 following a stroke and a battle with double pneumonia, which led to him spending five weeks in hospital earlier this year. The first Latin American leader of the Catholic Church, he had held the role for 12 years.
On Wednesday, red-robed cardinals and white-clad priests walked the Pope’s coffin from his personal residence at the Casa Santa Marta guesthouse to the St Peter’s Basilica. The procession lasted a little under 40 minutes. Swiss Guards, who are responsible for the Pope’s safety, escorted his coffin to the church’s altar.
Crowds had been gathering since morning to pay their respects, with hundreds joining during the procession.
Luis and Macarena, from Mexico, had come to Rome for their honeymoon and hoped to see the Pope, who gives a special blessing to newlyweds. Luis told the BBC seeing the Pope’s final resting place would allow them to feel a connection.
