New Pope is chosen: White smoke rises from chapel after conclave vote

White smoke has finally risen from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel - indicating that cardinals have elected a new pope on the second and final day of conclave.

That means the winner secured at least 89 votes of the 133 cardinals participating in the conclave to elect a successor to Pope Francis.

The name will be announced later, when a top cardinal utters the words 'Habemus papam!' Latin for 'We have a pope!' from the loggia of St. Peter's Basilica.
