Hong Kong officials set to meet student protesters for talks

The Hong Kong government is to meet student leaders for talks amid pro-democracy street protests that are now in their fourth week.

Students at the talks, which will be broadcast live, want the public to have a free vote in the election for the territory's chief executive in 2017.
But both Hong Kong and Beijing officials have said this is impossible.
The protests have blocked key parts of the city, though numbers have fallen since they began.
The BBC's Juliana Liu in Hong Kong says that although demonstrators know the chances of getting what they want are almost zero, they are staying on the streets to show authorities that the struggle for democratic reform is a long-term fight.
