Week4 Cecil the lion: US dentist Walter Palmer who killed Zimbabwean lion returns to work amid protests

The Minnesota dentist who killed Zimbabwean lion Cecil, sparking a global outcry from animal lovers, has returned to work at his suburban Minneapolis office amid chants from protesters of "murderer" and "leave town".

Walter Palmer, 55, did not speak to reporters as he entered his Bloomington, Minnesota, dental practice.

He shut the practice in late July amid a firestorm of protests after he was publicly identified as the hunter who killed the rare black-maned lion weeks before.

The River Bluff Dental practice reopened in mid-August without Mr Palmer, who said on Sunday in a joint interview with the Minneapolis Star Tribune and the Associated Press that he needed to resume his duties.

In the interview, Mr Palmer reiterated a statement he had made in July: that the hunt was legal and no one in the hunting party realised the targeted trophy kill was the well-known 13-year-old lion.

No charges have been filed against Mr Palmer.

Mr Palmer said in the interview he wounded the lion with a bow and arrow, tracked it and then delivered a final blow with another arrow over the course of far less than the 40 hours that has been widely reported by media.

The killing of Cecil triggered a storm of protests and threats on social media.

Vandals spray-painted "lion killer" at Mr Palmer's Florida vacation home and demonstrators built a small memorial of stuffed animals at the door of his practice and demanded he be charged and extradited.

Veronique Lamb, a 49-year-old tourist from Brussels, was among the protesters waiting for Mr Palmer on Tuesday, and said that she was there to protest the dentist returning to work "like nothing happened".

Cathy Pierce, 63, of East Bethel, Minnesota, said she would like to see Palmer lose his business.

"Maybe that would send a message that this kind of hunting is not accepted anymore," Ms Pierce said.

Zimbabwe said in July it had requested Mr Palmer's extradition as a "foreign poacher", but Mr Palmer would have to be charged in Zimbabwe before he could be extradited.

The US justice department has said it does not comment on extradition requests.

Regulated big-game hunting is permitted in Zimbabwe and a string of other African countries.

Bloomington Police were at Mr Palmer's office on Tuesday and have a security camera in the parking lot, deputy chief Mike Hartley said.

The department has not received any reports of threats to Mr Palmer's life, he said.

Week 5 Tianjin explosions: New fires burn at site

Four new fires are burning at the site in the Chinese city of Tianjin where blasts klled at least 116 people, the state-run Xinhua news agency says.

One of the fires started at an automobile distribution site not far from the epicentre of the blasts.

Three other fires were burning within the core blast site, and rescue crews have been dispatched to the scene.

Sixty people are still missing after the 12 August blasts, which also injured at least 700.

Thousands of people saw their homes destroyed or made too unsafe to return to. Authorities have promised to compensate residents.

Toxic substances

The blasts happened at a warehouse storing hazardous chemicals in Tianjin's port. What caused them is still unclear and a massive clean-up is continuing, with thousands of police and soldiers deployed.

One of the new fires was reported to be in the depot where at least 3,000 cars were incinerated and may have been caused by leaking fuel.

Officials say the blast site is contaminated by more than 40 dangerous substances, among them the highly toxic sodium cyanide.

Thousands of dead fish have washed up in Tianjin's Haihe river, a few kilometres away from the blast site.

The Chinese authorities say the fish were killed by low oxygen levels in the water - a seasonal occurrence.

However, many in the area suspect the fish may have been killed by cyanide poisoning, the BBC's Celia Hatton reports from Beijing.
