[01:33.13]Our Vatican correspondent, David Willey, was in St Peter’s Square when the new pope appeared.
[01:38.92]He’ll be the first pope to call himself Francis, which of course is homage to the famous saint of the same name.
[01:48.61]Cardinal Bergoglio from Argentina, who is a Jesuit, first Jesuit pope, and he is famous in his home country for the simplicity of his life.
[02:02.74]He’s an intellectual clearly, but I think what attracted people to him was the fact that he spent a lot of time among impoverished people
[02:14.03]and he also is well-known at home for his efforts in trying to repair the reputation of his church,
[02:22.39]which lost a lot of people after failing to challenge the dictatorship in Argentina in the 1970s and 1980s.
[02:30.26]So a very imaginative choice, I think--
[02:33.02]of course the first non-European pope in modern history.
[02:39.02]There was joy and surprise in Argentina at the news of the pope’s election.
[02:43.53]Worshipers waiting patiently outside Buenos Aires Cathedral on the central Plaza de Mayo
[02:48.71]cheered and thundered with applause and cars honked their horns outside.
[02:53.26]And the cathedral bells immediately started tolling in celebration.

[03:00.26]The European Parliament has demanded further negotiations on the EU’s long-term budget which was painstakingly negotiated by EU leaders.
