2:56:58Now PlayingJoin the Sky News Breakfast team live from 7am, as Slovakia's prime minister remains in hospital in a critical condition after being shot several times in an attempted assassination.
Robert Fico was reported to be fighting for his life after being hit in the stomach on Wednesday.

A 71-year-old suspect is in custody, but the motive for the shooting is still unclear… but as some label it as ‘politically motivated’. Could Robert Fico’s pro-Russia stance have fuelled his near-fatal shooting?
