"These are some of the heaviest rains in recent years."

“这是近年来最严重的降雨。”

That's what Bangladesh's Meteorological Department chief told AFP.

孟加拉国气象部门负责人告诉法新社。

Officials said heavy rains lashed the southeast region August 1 through 11, triggering flash floods that caused rivers to burst their banks and inundate hundreds of villages.

有关官员说，8月1日至11日，暴雨袭击了东南部地区，引发了山洪暴发，导致河流决堤，淹没了数百个村庄。

Officials say it was only possible to confirm how many were killed after the flood waters began to recede.

官员们表示，只有在洪水开始退去后才能确认死亡人数。

Fulton County District Attorney Fannie Willis has for two years been investigating what some have characterized as an illegal pressure campaign by the Republican former president on local officials to announce that Trump had won in Georgia despite falling short to Democrat Joe Biden.

富尔顿县地方检察官范妮·威利斯两年来一直在调查一些人认为的共和党前总统对地方官员进行的非法施压运动，这些官员宣布特朗普在格鲁吉亚获胜，尽管输给了民主党人乔·拜登。

And on Saturday, two witnesses who had previously received subpoenas in the probe confirmed they have been told to appear before a grand jury in Atlanta on Tuesday.

周六，两名此前在调查中收到传票的证人证实，他们已被告知要于周二在亚特兰大的一个大陪审团面前出庭。

Willis's office already indicated she would seek charges by the end of next week, and security measures have visibly increased around the county courthouse in recent weeks.

威利斯的办公室表示，她将在下周末前设法起诉，最近几周，县法院周围的安全措施明显加强。
