Very surprising. I don't think anyone was really expecting an American pope, especially given the candidates that we heard about in the news.
But it's very exciting.
We right here as fast as we could so we can make it.
To hear what the new pope was, and Jackie had it up first, she told everybody here that it would be American.
So exciting, we're so happy to be here.
And it only happens once every 20 or so years, I was so young, when Pope Francis was elected so it's probably a once -in -a -lifetime opportunity that you will be able to be here.

Praying, deliberating.
Among only themselves carefully considering who they choose to lead the Catholic Church and succeed Pope Francis who passed away two and a half weeks ago.
History made the first -ever American elected as a 267th Pope.
A plume of white smoke rising above the Sistine Chapel.

That conclave to choose the new Pope Leo 14th was relatively quick, because Did you know that the longest papal election in history took almost 3 years, to complete.
Back in the 13th century, Cardinals were locked indoors for two years, Nine months before finally choosing Pope Gregory the 10th, it prompted some of the current rules enforced for a conclave today.

One of the wealthiest people in the world Bill Gates, who accumulated wealth as co -founder Microsoft back in the 70s just announced plans to give away virtually all of his personal wealth and all the funds in the Gates Foundation, his philanthropic organization, within the next 20 years, much sooner than originally planned.
We're talking about $200 billion yah, the 69 -year -old Gates says there are too many urgent problems for him to hold on to resources.
The announcement comes at a time when the U .S. Federal Government, Germany, and others are scaling back funding for philanthropy and social services.
his foundation helps causes such as reducing poverty, increasing graduation rates, reducing preventable newborn and children deaths, ending diseases like malaria and measles, and more.
Gates wrote, in a statement, People will say a lot of things about me when I die.
But I am determined that he died rich will not be one of them.
Now to Europe, where after the first full day of Russia's three -day cease -fire, Ukrainian officials are calling it, quote, A, FARSE.
Russia said it would pause fighting in Ukraine to observe its WWII victory day anniversary, but Kive accused Moscow of breaching its own detent after bomb -struck several Ukrainian cities.
Our Nick Payton Wall spent the first hours of the ceasefire with Ukrainian forces monitoring Russian military activity, and he's giving us an inside look of what it's like there on the ground.
Moly. So Midnight just kicked in and now they're looking to see if there's any difference at all in the situation.
And it's been pretty bad weather quite a bit of the day, but some activity, and now they have to see if President President Vladimir Putin was keeping his word at all.
So, just saying three minutes ago, and that'll be about just three minutes into the ceasefire.
So, artillery shooting in the direction of a cockrove, squatting of the hottest parts of the front line now, where the Russians will be making quite a bit of progress over the past few days.
And to chidiribiot.
So, about four or five visible, just on his monitoring system here, since the ceasefire began.
That's artillery still being used by the Russians.
And the wider fear is that like the Easter ceasefire, I wish the Kremlin also called unilaterally, they might see the Russians use this particular moment to regroup, to reposition their troops and launch an offensive from better positions when the ceasefire is finished.
The Ukrainians, they were on their side at this point do not have orders to reciprocate until they're continuing their work targeting Russian positions now.
But another tessen where the Moscow can retrusted of its word and really too, whether the peace of the White House so urgently says it once can come to this large hours in Europe since the 40s.
