The internet was filled with the news...

but they probably won't be at the top pages tomorrow, because the newspapers are proud that they have already written about it... writing their forecast articles days before...

(short article from Kyodo)
◆Tokyo air pollution victims decide to accept court-brokered deal
TOKYO, June 30 KYODO
Hundreds of asthma patients involved in a damages suit over air pollution decided Saturday to accept a court-brokered deal which requires diesel-powered vehicle makers to offer them 1.2 billion yen in a settlement, leaders of the plaintiffs said.
The decision comes as the plaintiffs are preparing to settle the damages suit with the defendants, including the central government and a state-run toll road operator, over air pollution caused by emissions from diesel-powered motor vehicles in Tokyo.
