Black smoke signals no pope elected after third round
Vatican City - Black smoke emerged from a chimney atop the Sistine Chapel shortly after 11:30 pm (1030 GMT) on Wednesday, signalling to the world that no pope had been elected on the second day of the conclave.
The smoke is produced by the burning of the cardinals' ballots,with chemicals added to alter its colour. Whereas black means aninconclusive vote, white smoke is used when a new leader for theworld's 1.2 billion Catholics has been elected.
