(ABC News) There are reports in Japan that a ceasefire, albeit temporary, may be called in the annual whale wars in the Southern Ocean between Japan and militant environmentalists. A report in a leading Japanese newspaper suggests the country’s fisheries agency may suspend the so-called ‘scientific research’ because the fleet’s aging factory ship needs urgent repairs. But late today the agency said it hopes to refit the ship in time for this year’s hunt.
