Vatican City  - Pope Benedict XVI broke with normal Vatican protocol Friday to welcome US President George W Bush for talks in a medieval tower.

The pontiff stood several minutes waiting for Bush in the Vatican gardens outside the Tower of St John - an unusual sight since normally it is guests who wait to be received by the pope.

Bush, accompanied by his wife Laura, arrived in a motorcade which made its way slowly through a tree-lined avenue after entering Vatican City.
