00:00And at this time, we contact our special envoy in the Vatican City, Jorge Gestoso.
00:04Jorge, we go to you for the latest from the Vatican at such important and decisive moments.
00:11Thank you. At this hour, the second session of the Thursday day has started.
00:19There are going to be two votes, first early in the afternoon and then the last one before 7 p.m.
00:27We are expecting to see if by any chance there's going to be consensus on who is going to be the next pope.
00:35And we are waiting at the end of the day if we were going to get sort of black smoke or white smoke in the morning.
00:42It has been the day started with mass at 8.30 for about one hour.
00:48And at 9.30 started the voting, two voting through the morning, through afternoon.
00:54And by midday, we got some news.
00:59The news was black smoke.
01:02So for the second day, yesterday, almost at 9 p.m., we got the black smoke knowing that there was no pope.
01:10Today at midday, no pope.
01:12So the big question mark is what is going on?
01:15Basically, we're talking about historic cardinals because there are 71 countries represented in the 133 cardinals that are deciding the fate of the new pope.
01:29And it's the most extensive and the most varied in the history of the conclave.
01:36So the question mark is when and who is going to be the next pope.
01:41We are waiting, and as most of the people here anxiously, to get the news.
01:47And we are going to get back to you as soon as we have it.
01:50We get back to you now.
01:51We are going to get back to you.
