NHK World stopped reporting on Abe, and is now running a documentary on the Andes Mountains, and the Cities of Gold.
It did seem odd; the documentary only lasted about 10 minutes. They continued covered of Abe at the top of the hour.
Prime Minister Kishida: [Abe] is now in critical condition as I have been informed. Doctors are doing everything they can at this moment. I am hoping and praying that he will survive this.
He is giving a press conference on NHK right now.
Reporter said something about Abe being former Prime Minister, and full security was in place.
Prime Minister Fumio Kishida: As for security, people were doing their very best.
