Conclave to resume in Vatican City this morning

Black smoke billowed from the building's chimney just after 8pm Irish time last night

133 cardinals will return to the Sistine Chapel this morning to begin the second round of voting in the papal conclave.

Black smoke billowed from the building's chimney just after 8pm Irish time last night signifying the first round of voting had been unsuccessful.

The result was delayed by around 2 hours with the Vatican saying several cardinals needed help with translation issues.
