Japan PM cancels foreign trip after 'megaquake' advisory

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said Friday he had canceled a planned trip to Central Asia after earthquake scientists said the country should prepare for a possible "megaquake."

"As the prime minister with the highest responsibility for crisis management, I decided I should stay in Japan for at least a week," Kishida told reporters.
