  "account": "The weather is continuing to wreak havoc in Europe. In addition to heat-related deaths and wildfires, the high temperatures and drought affecting wide areas of the continent have caused the Danube —the second longest river, after the Volga— and Rhine to reach record lows in some sections, which is having a very serious impact on electricity production, the transportation of goods and tourism.",
