Doomsday Clock reset to 90 seconds to midnight

 Humanity is closer to Armageddon than ever, according to a team of
scientists, who said global conflict had helped to push the world towards
calamity.

The Doomsday Clock, a symbolic measure of the threats facing the
world, has been set at 90 seconds to midnight, the Bulletin of the Atomic
Scientists said. The organisation has been adjusting the clock since it was
created in 1947, set at seven minutes to midnight. Since 2020 the clock had
been set at 100 seconds to midnight but yesterday the hands were moved as
scientists weighed the danger of the war in Ukraine, climate change and
Covid.
