Heavy Rains in Japan

In the prefectures of Hiroshima and Shimane, Japan, heavy rains led to major flooding that damaged homes and destroyed infrastructure. A river in Hiroshima swept away one person, who later died. Tens of thousands of people had to evacuate.

One man described the rain as ‘drumming on the ground’.

Japan’s meteorological agency measured 35 centimetres of rain in one night.

Difficult words:
prefecture (a district of a country such as Japan)
infrastructure (the buildings and services needed for a city to run, such as roads or power)

G20 Summit in Germany

The G20 summit took place in Hamburg, Germany on Friday and Saturday. As world leaders gathered, so did the protesters. Thousands of them were in the streets, carrying slogans like ‘Smash G20’ or ‘In the name of humanity, we refuse to accept a fascist America’.

Around 20,000 police officers armed in riot gear and equipped with water cannons were deployed. The German police said that they tried to separate the violent activists from the peaceful protesters.

gather (come together)
fascist (a government that tells its people what to do and does not let them change how the country runs)
