Hong Kong protesters to vote on government proposals

Protest leaders in Hong Kong are to ballot their supporters over whether to accept the government's proposals and end their sit-in.

The protest leaders had previously rejected the government's offer to set up a platform for debating reform and to report to Beijing on the protests.
They said a strong show of support for this stance would help them in their negotiations with the government.
The protests calling for full democracy for Hong Kong began in September.
On Tuesday, student protest leaders and government officials held talks for the first time, but made little progress towards ending the impasse.
