► Third finger right hand that's where they place the papal band. A new pope gets a new ring, the Ring of the Fisherman also known as the Piscatory Ring. Although the conclave is still locked away in contemplation in the Sistine Chapel master goldsmith Claudio Franchi, the man who made the ring for Benedict is in a unique position to explain the symbolism:
"According to ancient ritual, described in history going back to the 13th Century, the ring is used as a seal to stamp official documents. After a serving pope dies the ring is destroyed with a silver hammer by the Camerlengo in front of the Cardinals in order to avoid forgery. For Benedict the ring was a symbol not a seal."
Tradition dictates the ring features St Peter fishing from a boat and the Latin name of the reigning pope in raised lettering. The faithful show their respect and love for the pope and God by kneeling at his feet and kissing the Fisherman's Ring. Benedict's ring was not destroyed but marked with an X and sent to the Vatican Museum.

[When I was a teenager, I was a ballerina. Mothers sent me in ballet school and playing piano. My late father taught me to play golf, drive a car, read the history, politics and listening to his favorite song, Bonanza. My "ex-boyfriend" taught me to paint and make love, while my fiance taught me to pray and be a good mother.
So, can I classify myself as quite full and happy woman? If yes, why do I still want to be a swan, hm?]

■ Korean nuclear war would make Chernobyl seem like 'fairy tale'. The US Secretary of State, John Kerry is in China on the latest leg of his emergency tour to try and defuse tension around North Korea's nuclear threats. In a news conference he's suggested America could remove its newly-bolstered missile defense in the region if Pyongyang abandons its nuclear weapons program. It's believed that offer might encourage China to put pressure on North Korea - something it's been reluctant to do so far. Earlier this week a Pentagon report, released by mistake, claimed the North already had the capability to launch a nuclear missile. The White House, however, quickly dismissed those findings as 'premature'. Nevertheless, America, Japan and South Korea have continued to build up defenses, with Seoul saying it's braced for the North's missile test anytime. Russia has warned against the escalation of the crisis - as RT's Aleksey Yaroshevsky reports.
