Hong Kong government ready for talks with student protesters

Hong Kong's government says it is ready for new talks with student protesters next week.

The Chief Executive CY Leung was speaking after scuffles between protesters and police continued for a second night on a major road near government buildings.

The protests were sparked by a Chinese government ruling that limits who can stand as a candidate in Hong Kong's leadership elections in 2017.

The demonstrations are demanding the implementation of greater political reforms, including fully free elections.
