Pro-democracy demonstrators in Hong Kong have retaken streets in the Mong Kok district, just hours after they were cleared by the authorities.
Activists clashed with police, as about 9,000 protesters re-occupied the area. At least 26 people have been arrested.
Demonstrators have been occupying parts of the city for weeks, angered at China’s curbs on who can stand in the next leadership election in 2017.
The government and students are due to hold talks on Tuesday.
Hong Kong Chief Secretary Carrie Lam said both sides would send five representatives to the negotiations.
Earlier this week the government called off planned talks saying they were impossible while the occupation of city streets continued.
Hong Kong leader CY Leung said on Thursday that he was ready for dialogue, but China would not retract its decision to vet candidates for the 2017 elections.
