We’re covering an unkept promise to Russian medical workers, the furor over a top aide to Britain’s leader and a feared deluge of litigation in Spain. By Isabella Kwai Dominic Cummings said Monday that he was “not surprised many people are very angry” over his violation of Britain’s lockdown rules. Peter Summers/Getty Images Johnson’s aide says sorry-not-sorry for breaching U.K. lockdown rules In an unusual news conference on Monday, Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s closest aide, Dominic Cummings, [sought the public’s sympathy but did not apologize](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRgryfmP4QMAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjAvMDUvMjUvd29ybGQvZXVyb3BlL2RvbWluaWMtY3VtbWluZ3MtYm9yaXMtam9obnNvbi1jb3JvbmF2aXJ1cy5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTUxJmVtYz1lZGl0X01CRV9wXzIwMjAwNTI2Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTE4NzczJm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWN0aW9uPXRvcE5ld3Mmc2VnbWVudF9pZD0yOTEzNCZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKACDmosxeh5ozZ1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) for breaking Britain’s lockdown rules by driving hundreds of miles outside London with his son and ailing wife in March. Mr. Cummings defended his actions as “reasonable under the circumstances,” saying he went to his parents’ home in Durham to ensure his son would receive care should he and his wife both fall ill. The scandal has consumed the British news media for days, and most prime ministers might have cut Mr. Cummings loose by now. But Mr. Johnson is still supporting him, illustrating what analysts see as his deep reliance on the mercurial adviser. Mr. Johnson announced on Monday the relaxing of more restrictions, with outdoor markets and car dealerships to reopen on June 1, and department stores and small shops on June 15. Case study: The death toll in British nursing homes — 14,000, official figures say, with thousands more dying indirectly because of the virus — is becoming a defining scandal for Mr. Johnson.

The promise of up to $1,100 a month for each doctor was meant to showcase Mr. Putin’s proudest achievement, the revitalization of the Russian state after the chaos of the 1990s. But fewer than half of medical workers nationwide have gotten the money, Mr. Putin recently said, accusing officials in 29 regions of ignoring his order. And some medical workers who went public about it were questioned by the authorities. Quotable: “The diagnosis is obvious,” Dmitri Drize, a Moscow-based human rights lawyer, said. “Officials have forgotten how to make decisions on their own. And this disease is worse than the coronavirus.” Background: Russia has over 350,000 cases, more than any other country except the United States and Brazil.

A typical hurricane season has 12 named storms. This year’s season — which could start any day now — is likely to have between 13 and 19, [according to the forecast](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRgryfmP4QJAWh0dHBzOi8vZ3Jpc3Qub3JnL2NsaW1hdGUvaXRzLW9mZmljaWFsLXRoZS0yMDIwLWF0bGFudGljLWh1cnJpY2FuZS1zZWFzb24taXMtZ29pbmctdG8tYmUtYmFkLz9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01MSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9NQkVfcF8yMDIwMDUyNiZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xODc3MyZubD1tb3JuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VjdGlvbj1hQnJlYWsmc2VnbWVudF9pZD0yOTEzNCZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKACDmosxeh5ozZ1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA). Christopher Flavelle, a Times reporter who covers the climate, recently called Samantha Montano, a professor of emergency management at the University of Nebraska, Omaha, and asked her what was making local officials nervous as hurricane season approached. Her answer: a shortage of volunteers, caused by the coronavirus. Volunteers handed out supplies in Marianna, Fla., after Hurricane Michael struck in October 2018. Saul Martinez for The New York Times The U.S. disaster response system relies heavily on volunteers, most of whom are older people at higher risk from the virus. Many of them won’t be able to fly to disaster zones. “Volunteers do everything,” Dr. Montano said — handing out donations, moving debris off the roads, repairing houses, helping survivors navigate state and federal aid programs. “Every single task we do in emergency management involves volunteers,” she said. Christopher began calling major volunteer organizations and found deep anxiety about the problem. His article describes [the many ways that the virus threatens to undermine disaster relief.](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRgryfmP0T8aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMC8wNS8yMi9jbGltYXRlL2ZlbWEtdm9sdW50ZWVyLWRpc2FzdGVyLXJlc3BvbnNlLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTEmZW1jPWVkaXRfTUJFX3BfMjAyMDA1MjYmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTg3NzMmbmw9bW9ybmluZy1icmllZmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlY3Rpb249YUJyZWFrJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MjkxMzQmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCgAg5qLMXoeaM2dSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) “The story that emerged made me think of an aging sedan, its parts failing in sequence,” he says. “And we keep trying to make it go faster.” That’s it for this briefing.
