Black smoke rises from the chimney on the roof of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican City, indicating that no decision has been made after the first vote on the second day of voting for the election of a new pope.

Vatican City -

Black smoke again billowed out of a chimney over the Vatican on Wednesday, indicating that cardinals meeting in a conclave have failed to choose a pope after three votes.

The smoke emerged from the modest copper chimney pipe on the roof of the Sistine Chapel at 10.40 GMT after the 115 cardinals held two votes in the morning, following one on Tuesday. - Sapa-AFP
