Australian minister warns Japan of whale action
TOKYO, Japan -- February 1, 2008: Australia's foreign minister warned Friday of tougher action to stop Japan whaling, despite calls for calm from both sides over the increasingly emotive dispute. Foreign Minister Stephen Smith held talks in Tokyo just as Japan was reported to have resumed killing whales in the Antarctic Ocean following a two-week halt under pressure from environmental protesters.
