The government and student leaders remain poles apart on how the city should elect its leader in 2017, after their televised talks yesterday failed to resolve the issues that triggered the Occupy Central mass sit-ins. Chief Secretary Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor said the government would submit a report to Beijing reflecting the latest public sentiment and would consider setting up a platform for dialogue on constitutional development.

Lam and fellow officials ruled out the possibility of reversing the National Peoples Congress Standing Committees August decision imposing tight limits on the 2017 election. They also rejected the students demand for public nomination of candidates.
