Live Webcam of Vatican

Yahoo News has a live webcam coverage of all the events at Vatican:
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=s&u=/pope1/static

The video quality is extremely good. Video newsfeeds from Reuters and AP have been around for a while now. But these are prerecorded newscasts (mis)interpreted by the so called news reporters and manipulated by the so called Governments and corporates. But live webcams during popular events add a new dimension to it. You can watch the events happening live, without any dilution/interpretation from the news reporters.

If a reliable news gathering website like Yahoo or Google sets up such webcams with 24x7 news feeds, a common viewer like me can report some quality news(?) about the same, provided that I have all the time in the world!
