As Pope Francis battles health complications, the Vatican is secretly preparing for every possibility—a recovery, a resignation, or even a final farewell. Reports suggest the Swiss Guard is rehearsing for a papal funeral, while discussions of a potential resignation gain traction. If the Pope steps down, the College of Cardinals will gather in a highly secretive conclave to elect a successor. With the future of the Church possibly at a turning point, all eyes are on the Vatican. Will Pope Francis recover, resign, or will history be made? Palki Sharma tells you.

Pope Francis |
our next story comes from the smallest
country in the world the Vatican Pope Francis is currently hospitalized he's suffering from double pneumonia since the hospitalization his health has deteriorated drastically even the pope thinks that he may not make it so he's resignation although he won't be the first pontiff to do this the first one to resign but who will replace him that is the big question meanwhile the Vatican is already preparing for the worst case scenario there are rehearsals underway for a Papal funeral our next report brings you all the details this is the world's smallest guards they have one sole mission to protect the pope but this week these guards are secretly rehearsing for funeral Pope Francis is in the hospital the pontiff is 88 years old he was suffering from bronchitis since then he's developed pneumonia he also has a respiratory infection so the Vatican is worried reports suggest the Swiss guard is rehearsing and preparing for a paple funeral why because even the pope thinks he may not make it that he will not survive this hospital visit so clearly the Vatican is preparing for the worst scenario however that hasn't stopped their work business goes on as usual and for now the pope is taking decisions and calls but he's also floated another idea res na he could quit if he is impaired now this wouldn't be a first popes have past in recent centuries only one pontiff has done it it is Pope Benedict V 16th he stepped down in 2013 due to concerns about his health he was the first holy sea to resign in 600 years it paved the way for Pope francis's election Pope Francis in fact already wrote a resignation letter it was in 2013 shortly after he was chosen he was worried about his health then his concerns remain the same now a pope has to resign via a letter it's submitted to the College of cardinals however there's no need for approvals under the canon law it should be done by free will if they fear any fraud the resignation can rejected which brings us to the process of selecting a new pope it's done in a private gathering at the Vatican called the conclave technically any Roman Catholic male can be elected Pope but who elects this Pope it's the College of cardinals when a new pope has to be selected every Cardinal under the age of 80 travels to Rome once they are in the starts the voting happens at the cistin chapel each of them is given a ballot they must write the name of the candidate they want to choose however they can't elect themselves if a cardinal receives over 2third of the vote he becomes the pope if no one gets the vote it continues for days until and unless a new pope is chosen now the process itself is very secretive voting happens behind closed doors the Cardinals can't talk to anyone but themselves there are no phones or cameras no one is allowed in inside the cistin chapel but once the vote is done ballots are burned with a chemical if the smoke coming out is white a new pope is chosen if the smoke is black that means no decision has been reached and the voting continues the smoke is for the world to remain updated with the proceedings behind the closed doors so as the Vatican prepares for every possibility a recovery a resignation or a final farewell one thing is certain whether in Life or in death the legacy of Pope Francis will be written soon and the future of the change Hi how are you very well thank thank you for being here Namaste Mr President Namaste how many people generally follow you in interviews typically in a month we have viewers uh up to 150 million that's more than twice the population of France and in the last 2 years we had 3 billion viewers so I say Lon this is your chance to be famous post one word to describe your equation Modi as India and France work together are you creating a new era of non-alignment in the technology space superpower 1 million Engineers a year more than all of Europe and the US combined so we have that power partnership we have a partnership on the environment and the economy we also have civilian nuclear programs and that is something we've developed far beyond the France India relationship so we want to AI and then comes China with its deep sea creating models at a fraction of the cost did that Innovation take you by surprise did that breakthrough make you sit up and think what what did the Chinese do and how but what did deep seek do they took everything that was already available from the last AI model and then uh they recalibrated it are you going to ban Chinese AI in France so we don't have this American approach of banning Tech because of where it comes
