I think the pope is at the end, he is going to die with in the next 24-48 hours , lets face it. I think the media are coping well, but how are they going to break the death, its an awful thing to do, especialy annoncing the death of the supposed "Word of God" Crying or Very sad Shocked

Yes but death would be the kindest thing for him as he is so ill. He will no longer have to suffer if he dies. I'm no Catholic but I pay my respects to him.

By the way, can someone tell me where I can find a live feed of BBC News 24 or BBC World on the BBC site.

I edited it and then found out it was only a report. Not sure where the online feed is.

There was feed, it cut, and then it just played a looped remix of the world theme, the feed was BB3 (broadband 3) dont know if anyone can find the urls for these feeds.

EDIT - Sky just said that when Popes room's lights on means sign of death, so i think he has gone, they just not saying yet.

Brings it home when you hear that only three of the current cardinals were in place at the time of the election of the current Pope.

I've been watching Sky's coverage and that is not what they said at all. It's crucial that you completely listen to what is being said before reading to much into something and posting it. I have a horrible inkling this story is exciting you somewhat, when really I think it's fair you take a step back and listen carefully to what exactly is being said before posting anything.
