Black smoke at the Vatican, no pope yet

Black smoke billowed from a chimney over the Vatican's Sistine Chapel for a second day Thursday as cardinals meeting in conclave once again failed to choose a new pope.

Thousands of the faithful and curious were awaiting the smoke in St Peter's Square on the morning of the second day of secret voting by the 133 cardinal electors.
