1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: All right, so it's all happening at the Vatican in

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: the sixteenth Chapel. As I'm still having a hard time

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: coming to terms with the girl on Maths who talked

4
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 1: about the sixteenth Chapel.

5
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 2: That's so funny, isn't it.

6
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: Well, it would be.

7
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 2: Very busy. It is the fourteenth.

8
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: I fluctuate between my head off and crying like a baby.

9
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: Not the l just keep going steenth Chapel. Hanna Sinclair

10
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:36,520
Speaker 1: is Channel nine's correspondent joining us from the Vatican City. Hannah,

11
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: good morning.

12
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:38,840
Speaker 3: Good morning, guys.

13
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: It is mourning for us anyway. Gosh, how many people

14
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: are how many media are in attendance right.

15
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 3: Now over there? It is pretty chaotic over here, guys.

16
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 3: I think they said there's about four thousand journalists wow,

17
00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 3: currently in the world. Media des sendered on Rome and

18
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 3: with the cardinals. It was the last time everyone got

19
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 3: to sort of ask their questions to them today and

20
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 3: that the press packs you'll see on the news, you know, dozens,

21
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 3: it's not almost one hundred journalists, cameraman you know, crowding

22
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 3: these cardinals as they're sort of having their last few

23
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 3: hours of freedom before they of course get locked in

24
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 3: the Sistine Chapel for the conclaves.

25
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 2: Right, So they're saying the biggest conclave ever hand, I mean,

26
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 2: how many cardinals have gathered.

27
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 3: So there's one hundred and thirty three cardinal electives that

28
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 3: are of course under the age of eighty that will

29
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 3: be going in to take part in the conclave, and

30
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 3: only one of them, of course, will emerge, is the

31
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 3: two hundred and sixty seventh Hope. There's a few favorites,

32
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 3: but as they say with conclaves, you know that the

33
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 3: favorites a lot of the time actually don't end up

34
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 3: being the pope. So there's some on the conservative side,

35
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 3: there's some on the progressive side. There's a one in particular,

36
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 3: Lewis Taglay, Cardinal Lewis Taglay, who the ever accessionally coined

37
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 3: the Asian Francis. So he's got similar sort of views

38
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 3: and operating style to of course the late Pope Francis.

39
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 3: He's a favorite amongst they're also Cardinal Pietro Carolyn, who

40
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 3: was Pope Francis, is second in charge, if you will.

41
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 3: He's Italian, so you know he he's sort of been

42
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 3: around the traps a long time, and he's another he's

43
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 3: another contender. But it's one of those things where they're

44
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 3: all saying, as we ask them, or who you know,

45
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 3: who's it going to be? And they they're all saying,

46
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 3: we don't know, you know, you don't know until you

47
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 3: get in there.

48
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: Is it like a private kind of vote? Is it

49
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: a bit like being in a court room where they

50
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: count them up and say, no, we've got to go again.

51
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: I mean, how how does it work?

52
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 3: Oh, it's you know, it's a very ancient and secret process.

53
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 3: They've effectively transformed Assistine Chapel into a bunker. They have

54
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 3: put channing devices in there. No so they can't yet,

55
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 3: no phone. It's a complete technological blackout. You know. Even

56
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 3: the staff that are working there. There's about one hundred

57
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 3: you know, cleaners, books, doctors. They aren't even going to

58
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 3: be able to contact their families the whole time they're

59
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:34,519
Speaker 3: in there, because yeah, that's it. So it's is. Yeah,

60
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 3: it's a very secret process. And once they're in there,

61
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 3: they you know, cast their ballots, the ballots get counted.

62
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 3: For there to be a new pope, they have they

63
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 3: have to have two thirds of the vote, so in

64
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 3: this case that's eighty nine votes. Someone needs to get

65
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 3: to become hope. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and then of course

66
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 3: they burned the ballots. And if they don't have a pope,

67
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 3: it's the black smoke. If we do have a pope,

68
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 3: it's that white smoke.

69
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: And I believe that chemicals, just to make sure there's

70
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: no confusion, because once there was a bit of confusion,

71
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: like is that white? We can't work it out what's

72
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: going on with I read today that back in the

73
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: thirteenth century there was a conclave that lasted two years

74
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 1: and nine months. I don't think that will be the case.

75
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 1: They usually last what about four days.

76
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 3: Hannah, Yeah, they yeah, Well, guys are check macking on me,

77
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 3: and not three years time that's the case, because I

78
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 3: could will be at Rome. So no, I don't think

79
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 3: that'll be the case. The average is three days, but

80
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 3: in recent times it's been even less than that, so

81
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 3: it's been you know, hours on occasion really so yeah,

82
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 3: so well everyone's saying they're thinking it's going to be

83
00:04:55,120 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 3: two days, okay, because yeah, well yeah, and you know,

84
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 3: there's this sort of rhetoric around that if they don't

85
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 3: make a decision quickly, it almost suggests there's division, and

86
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,359
Speaker 3: they obviously are going to want to portray that to

87
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 3: the world. Yeah, you would imagine, Yeah, you would imagine

88
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 3: those conversations are being had behind closed doors to make

89
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 3: sure that, you know, people are starting to be on

90
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 3: the same page. I don't know.

91
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, we've just had the federal election here and no,

92
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 2: not in the Vatican. We've just had the federal election,

93
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 2: and that what you know. Of course, the white paper

94
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 2: with the white ballot paper was you need a tree

95
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 2: for each of those, for each of us. But I

96
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 2: believe that the ballot paper is tiny, that these these

97
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 2: cardinals are filling out. Do you know much about the

98
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 2: technical side.

99
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 3: Of that, the technical side of the paper? I mean,

100
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 3: I don't have the back sent to me to measure this.

101
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 3: That's what you're after, Is that what you're.

102
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 2: No, I just if you knew much more about how

103
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 2: intricate it was, because it sounds tiny.

104
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, well it's just yeah, they well they

105
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 3: write their names obviously on the on the ballot. I'm

106
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 3: not their name who they want, hope, Yeah, and then

107
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 3: uh yeah, it gets counted and then those ballots get

108
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 3: burned in a stove and that's stove and the chimney

109
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 3: attached to the Sistine Chapel, that gets get that gets brought in,

110
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 3: that's not there all the time. So that has actually

111
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 3: been brought in and that has been set up in

112
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,559
Speaker 3: the past few days in preparation for this, which actually

113
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 3: a lot of people are quite surprised, but I was

114
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 3: when I went into the Sistine Chapel. I yeah, like

115
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 3: many people, was like, oh, there's a stove, but yeah,

116
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 3: it's not in there. It's not in there all the time. Yes,

117
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 3: of course, so that's all been brought in, and yeah,

118
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 3: then it gets learn to gets those chemicals added their

119
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 3: different chemicals, as you guys rightly wanted out to make

120
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 3: to make sure that those colors are very obvious, because

121
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 3: I think I must have seen the same coverage that

122
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 3: you were thing, but especially at nighttime.

123
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 4: At night time, it can be very hard to tell,

124
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 4: and it will be interesting being here to see how

125
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 4: obvious it is, or if it is hard to see initially.

126
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 3: What color it is, if it's until it's really trans.

127
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: Wide, it will be interesting. It's a bit of a

128
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: once in a lifetime opportunity, really, Hannah to be there

129
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: for this, I reckon and you will have all the

130
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: updates in Channel nine's news at six o'clock. Thanks
