What this page does for you
The Clock is set by the Bulletin, not by us, and the Bulletin decides when it moves. An AI checks its page every week and puts the reading, with the date it was set, at the top of the WW3 Digest. If the reading changes, the issue of that week says so, with the link. You do not have to keep checking.
The other readings in the digest
Official travel-advice status from the UK Foreign Office, the latest update of the UN nuclear agency, the official alerts governments issued that week, and what named sources reported region by region. Each line carries its source. No score, level or forecast of our own.
