Pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong continued today, as the territory's leader refused demands from protestors that he resign.

Hong Kong's chief executive, CY Leung, did offer to hold talks with the protestors in an effort to defuse a week of massive street demonstrations. The student leaders of the protest haven't yet responded to the offer.
