Hong Kong protests: Student leaders postpone talks



The situation in parts of Hong Kong is very tense.
Leaders of a pro-democracy student group in Hong Kong have postponed talks with the government after demonstrators were involved in scuffles with opponents.

The group said the government was failing to protect protesters.Their supporters are angry at plans by China to vet election candidates and have been occupying parts of the city.
Hong Kong's leader offered talks to defuse the situation after the protesters called for his resignation.But scuffles broke out on Thursday as people apparently angry with the disruption caused by the protests tried to dismantle tents and barricades.
