Coronavirus infection rates have started to increase in all boroughs of Greater Manchester again over recent weeks. This has included cases doubling in Trafford alone, according to the latest round of figures.

Cases across England as a whole are up by 66 per cent after all remaining Covid restrictions were dropped in the country. As well as this, some scientists claim part of the reason for this recent surge in cases could be down to new variants, or sub-variants, of coronavirus which have been identified.

Some of these strains are thought to potentially have different symptoms or even different levels of contagiousness and severity.

Here we have put together the signs to look out for in each of these latest variants. READ MORE:Tesco customer filmed 'filling car up with cooking oil' as fuel prices surge across UK According to the NHS website there remain three main general symptoms of coronavirus.

Dolphin dies after reportedly being harassed by Texas beachgoers

QUINTANA BEACH, Texas - Officials say a dolphin on a Texas beach passed away after she was stranded alive over the weekend and reportedly "harassed by a crowd of people." Texas Marine Mammal Stranding Network (TMMSN) shared shocking photos on Facebook, saying a dolphin on Quintana Beach, Texas located in Brazoria County, was "pushed back to sea, where beachgoers tried to swim with and ride the sick animal."We're told the dolphin was ultimately stranded and "further harassed by a crowd of people on the beach, where she later died before rescuers could arrive on scene." Officials warned, that as a result, any interactions with dolphins (other than a professional) can only cause more stress on the mammal, but is also illegal. "This type of harassment causes undue stress to wild dolphins, is dangerous for the people who interact with them, and is illegal - punishable by fines and jail time if convicted," TMMSN said in their Facebook post. "If a live dolphin or whale strands in Texas, please DO NOT PUSH the animal back to sea, do not attempt to swim or interact with them, do not crowd them, and immediately call 1-800-9MAMMAL for guidance on how to help support the animal until the TMMSN rescue response arrives!"MORE STORIES RELATED TO BRAZORIA COUNTYQuintana Park officials condemned the incident as well, calling it a tragedy. "Park staff was called to assist in keeping the public away from the dolphin until rescuers could arrive from Galveston," officials said in their Facebook post.

There's still a way to reach global goal on climate change

world is potentially on track to keep global warming at, or a shade below, 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) hotter than pre-industrial times, a goal that once seemed out of reach, according to a study published Wednesday in the journal Nature.That will only happen if countries not only fulfill their specific pledged national targets for curbing carbon emissions by 2030, but also come through on more distant promises of reaching net-zero carbon emissions by mid-century, the study says.This 2 degree warmer world still represents what scientists characterize as a profoundly disrupted climate with fiercer storms, higher seas, animal and plant extinctions, disappearing coral, melting ice and more people dying from heat, smog and infectious disease. It's not the goal that world leaders say they really want: 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) since pre-industrial times.

Sextortion warning: Cases of predators getting images, money from teenage boys on the rise, FBI says

PHILADELPHIA - The FBI Newark Field Office is warning parents about an increase in reports of sextortion involving teenage boys. According to the agency, sextortion is an online crime that involves contact between a minor and an adult on an online platform, such as a gaming website or social media."The adult predator or scammer convinces the child to share sexual images or video and then threatens to post the content unless the victim sends more content or money," the FBI said. According to federal authorities, the most recent increase in cases mainly targets teenage boys between the age of 14 and 17. The field office says the coercion of a child by an adult to produce child sexual abuse material carries heavy penalties, including a possible life sentence for offenders. "To make victimization stop, children typically have to come forward to someone - normally a parent, teacher, caregiver, or law enforcement," the FBI said. "The embarrassment children feel from the activity where they were coerced or enticed to engage in is what typically prevents them from coming forward." The agency is urging victims to come forward to help stop extortion offenders, who may have hundreds of victims around the world. "We want parents, teachers, other relatives, anyone who is in a child’s life, to be aware," said Special Agent in Charge George M.
