With the spread of 5G networks and the development of the Internet of things, the scale of the threat will increase, and connected cars or life support systems of the city can become victims of cyberattacks.
According to Kaspersky information security experts, mobile investment applications, which are gaining popularity in different countries, will also not be ignored by cybercriminals in 2020.
More than 80% of new buildings contain at least some elements of the Internet of Things (IoT), but the rapid growth of smart cities does not have time to improve their protection systems against cybercrime attacks.
At the same time, experts are concerned that smart cities are actively growing, and their protection systems are still underdeveloped.
Many smart devices and systems do not have reliable authentication protocols or are not protected at all by any security solutions.

Luanda — The National Assembly (AN) passed last Friday, in general terms, the bills that approve the Property Code and the Motor Vehicles Tax Code.
When presenting the bill that approves the Property Tax Code, the minister of Finance, Vera Daves, said it is time to make a deeper adjustment, adapting the diploma to the country's social and economic reality.
According to the minister, this tax will constitute one of the main sources of financing for future municipal administrations, based on Law No. 13/20 (Law on Financing of Local Governments).
With this diploma, the Executive starts to tax unproductive agricultural land, in order to encourage those who hold them to exploit their properties (agricultural land plots) or give them up (rent them or through another type of contract that they may prefer) to those who have financial conditions, as well as make the property tax revenue act as a typical revenue source for local governments.
By proposing the diploma, the government intends to revoke the Road Tax and, instead, put an additional taxation on cars with longer usage times.

(Reuters) - European shares rallied in the first trading session of the year as a landmark Brexit trade deal and coronavirus vaccine drives across the continent bolstered expectations of a strong economic rebound. The pan-regional STOXX 600 index gained 1.2% to touch fresh February 2020 highs, with mining and travel & leisure stocks among the top gainers. London’s blue-chip index rose 1.6% in its first day of trading with Britain outside the European Union’s orbit. While the hard-fought trade deal agreed late December set rules for industries such as fishing and agriculture, it did not cover Britain’s much larger finance sector, meaning automatic access to the EU’s financial markets came to an end on Dec. 31. Shares in UK banks such as Lloyds Banking Group, Barclays and Natwest traded marginally lower. Germany’s DAX gained 1.1% to trade below all-time highs, while France’s CAC 40 was up 1.3%. In company news, shares in Ladbrokes owner Entain Plc jumped 26.2% despite saying an $11 billion bid proposal from U.S. casino operator MGM Resorts significantly undervalued its business. - Reuters

Robert Brown Elliott, Reconstruction-era Congressman, was born in 1842 in Liverpool, England. He attended High Holborn Academy in London, England and then studied law, graduating from Eton College in 1859. From there he joined the British Royal Navy. Elliott decided to settle in South Carolina in 1867. He was admitted to the South Carolina bar in 1868 and began practicing law in Columbia, the state capital. Elliott worked under the future Congressman Richard H. Cain as associate editor of the South Carolina Leader and was an elected delegate to the 1868 state constitution convention. Later that year he won a seat in the South Carolina House of Representatives. In 1869, partly because of his military background, Elliott was appointed assistant adjutant-general for South Carolina. He became the first African American commanding general of the South Carolina National Guard which as the state militia was charged with fighting the Ku Klux Klan.
In 1870 Elliott was nominated by the Republican Party to run for Congress from the Third Congressional District. Elected in November, 1870, he took his seat in March 1871. While serving in Congress Elliot continuously fought the activities of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK). He also opposed the granting of general amnesty to ranking ex-Confederate military officers and civilians.
In 1872 Elliott was a candidate for one of South Carolina’s U.S. Senate seats but lost to fellow Republican John J. Patterson. By 1874, Elliott believed that he could help push his reform agenda further at the state level and resigned his House seat. He quickly won a seat in the South Carolina General Assembly in 1874. In 1875 Elliott was elected Speaker of the General Assembly.
In 1876 Elliott was elected South Carolina Attorney General. This would be his last public office. Democrats returned to power in 1876, ending the state’s Reconstruction period. Elliott continued to practice law until 1879 when he accepted an appointment as a special customs inspector for the Treasury Department. One

It allows farmers to access high-resolution weather forecasts, agronomic tips, information on climate-smart agricultural practices, and compare specific crop prices at three of the major markets in Jamaica — Coronation, May Pen and Linstead.
The farmers were introduced to the technology under the Building Resilience and Adaptation to Climate Change while Reducing Disaster Risk in Peckham, Clarendon and Surrounding Communities project.
“It's a data-driven and climate-smart approach to farming that gives real time access to information on weather, climate and markets through the mobile phone,” Edwards explained, while adding that they were still working with a few farmers who had challenges fully maximising the app.
By connecting farmers to climate-smart technologies and providing them with more and better access to agriculture-related data like agronomic tips, weather patterns and field data, we will reduce guessing and foster more intelligent decision-making in agriculture,” he explained.
It features observed and forecast weather conditions — temperature, precipitation, chance of rain, wind speed, humidity, and solar radiation, along with comparisons to historic values; field-specific, scientifically vetted agronomic models based on plant growth stages, maturity tracking and harvest readiness; pest and disease likelihood, crop stress; and crop price information for major markets in Jamaica.
There are now more than over 400,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus across the continent, with a number of African countries imposing a range of prevention and containment measures against the spread of the pandemic.
According to the latest data by the John Hopkins University and Africa Center for Disease Control on COVID-19 in Africa, the breakdown remains fluid as countries confirm cases as and when.
As of May 13, every African country had recorded an infection, the last being Lesotho.
We shall keep updating this list largely sourced from the John Hopkins University tallies, Africa CDC and from official government data.
