Japan's Emperor Akihito kicks off ceremonies for his abdication, the first in 200 years for the world's oldest monarchy. Akihito is handing over the Chrysanthemum Throne to his eldest son, 59-year-old Crown Prince Naruhito, in a series of solemn rituals that also usher in the new imperial era named "Reiwa" -- meaning beautiful harmony -- that will last throughout the new monarch's reign.
Japanese Emperor Akihito says in a rare public video address that he's worried his age may make it difficult for him to fully carry out his duties. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
