Hong Kong debates controversial political reform amid protests

Hong Kong's government is debating a controversial political reform package ahead of a much-anticipated vote later this week.

Protesters have gathered outside the city's Legislative Council building.

The package will for the first time give citizens the right to vote for their chief executive, in 2017. But candidates will be vetted by a pro-Beijing committee.

Last September the city saw weeks of large-scale pro-democracy protests.
