  "account": "Spanish hotel chains anticipate a profitable summer as prices rise. Companies such as Meliá, Barceló, Iberostar, RIU, Eurostars, and Palladium are set to close another record-breaking summer, bolstered by a moderate hike in rates and a focus on attracting higher-spending travelers. Additionally, BBVA seeks new avenues to earn revenue in the private banking segment, while Fintonic has hired its new deputy CEO at Santander.\n\nMeanwhile, the news shifts to Donald Trump's escalating economic offensive against Iran. The daily agenda also reveals that the Spanish government continues to work on a plan to relocate 500 migrant girls from Ceuta to the mainland, despite opposition from the People's Party (PP) who demand they be returned to Morocco. Furthermore, a wildfire in Pinofranqueado, Caceres has worsened and now falls under the control of Salamanca authorities.\n\nThe Financial Times highlights that top law firms in the United States are beginning to hire law students even before they finish their degree in order to secure the best talent before competitors. In a separate update, the national debt in the United States has reached a new record high of 40 trillion dollars. The report is also available on Spotify, iVoox, and Apple Podcasts.",
