Cracking jokes and ad-libbing, the new pontiff addresses the world's media and explains why he chose to name himself after St Francis of Assisi. Lizzy Davies reports from Vatican City:
Francis added that the reminder had made him think of St Francis – a man "who wanted a poor church". "Ah, how I would like a church," he said, "that is poor and is for the poor."
Juan Camilo, a 23-year-old Colombian in the audience, was impressed. "I liked most of all this part, because it is a sign of transformation.."

Now that the vatican has transformed itself into penury (interestingly, just before the lawsuits get going in earnest) perhaps there remain insufficient funds to send any wine to South America?
