Boris Johnson Faces Pressure over Reopening Country and Lockdown-Flouting Adviser
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Britain, Prime Minister Boris Johnson is facing resistance from some
parents and teachers as he moves to reopen schools in a week. He also
announced nonessential retail could resume business next month.
Meanwhile, his top adviser, Dominic Cummings, has come under intense
fire after he broke Britain's lockdown to visit his parents - while
Cummings and his wife had active cases of COVID-19.

Russia recorded its highest daily death toll Sunday with over 150
fatalities but says the number of new cases appears to be declining.
