    HONG Kong Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying said his government is ready to meet student leaders next week to discuss the city's first leadership election as he seeks to end three weeks of pro-democracy protests.

    He hoped a vice-chancellor of a Hong Kong university could be persuaded to host the talks with the students who have rallied as many as 200,000 people to the streets.
