2. Pope Leo appearing at st Peter balcony
3. Nuns chanting
4. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Father Alexander Lam, Augustinian friar from Peru who knows the new Pope personally:
"I believe that for him, when talking about closeness to the poor, it has always been a topic of concern. When he was the general prior, justice, peace, and environment were also topics that always touched him deeply. He carried it in his life, he spoke about it."
5. Wide shot of crowds gathering at Vatican City with St. Peter’s Basilica in the background.
6. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Father Alexander Lam, Augustinian friar form Peru who knows new Pope personally:
"He was very much loved (in Peru). Even the bishops of Peru called him the saint, the Saint of the North, and he had time for everyone. He was the person who would find you along the way. He was this kind of bishop. You will find in the archives that when Pope Francis went to Peru, he was one of the bishops who slept with the people, doing the vigil with the people on the ground. And Roberto has that style, that closeness. Maybe they are not great institutional gestures, but are human gestures."
7. Crowd shouting "Leo, Leo, Leo"
8. SOUNDBITE (Spanish), father Alexander Lam, Augustinian friar from Peru who knows new Pope personally:
"The Americans called him Bob. ‘Hey, Bob’. Because that’s how they called him with affection. In Peru it’s Roberto, although his name is Robert, of course, but it’s Roberto."
9. People praying
10. Wide of crowd
11. Pope Leo at St Peter’s balcony
12. SOUNDBITE (English), father Franz Klein, treasurer general of the Augustinian order, who personally knows the new Pope:
“So he is a man who likes to follow the rules of the church and of society, you know. I think he will build bridges. What bridges? We will see, because in Germany, where I am coming from, there might be very big hope of ordination of women. But this is not so easy when you know the other part of the world, like Africa or South America. You know, we have to go together. That was his first thing. Peace be with you, but let us go together, altogether. He meant all these people who are the Catholics in this world, you know.”
13. Woman recording Pope’s appearance on a smartphone
14. SOUNDBITE (English), father Franz Klein, treasurer general of the Augustinian order, who personally knows the new Pope:
“ I think because he was very near to Pope Francis. As he was the chief of the bishops, Pope Francis and he normally they came together every Saturday, I think. And they spoke about the situation, what is this, what is that, and so on and so. I think he’s doing that. But you know, the heart of a man, it’s not so easy to know at the very end, you know.“
15. People in front of St Peter’s
15. SOUNDBITE (English), father Franz Klein, treasurer general of the Augustinian order, who personally knows the new Pope:
“For us, the Augustinian order, this is one of the biggest moments in history. No one ever would have thought that we will have a Pope which is from out our order because we are a small order also. We are not the smallest, but we are not a very big order. Therefore we are surprised and very happy also, very happy."
16. Nuns looking at the white smoke announcing the new pope
