Cardinals hold final meeting at Vatican before electing new Pope tomorrow
Cardinals have held a final meeting at the Vatican before they vote for a new Pope tomorrow. Security has been ramped up in preparation for the largest and most international conclave yet, with cardinals hailing from 70 countries across five continents. Phone signals within the city-state will soon be cut as part of measures to ensure the secrecy of the vote. Thousands of the faithful are expected to gather to await the announcement of a successor for Pope Francis. They will be looking out for white smoke rising from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel, which signals the successful election of a Pope. Trent Murray reports from Rome.
