Founded in 1945 by University of Chicago scientists who had helped develop the first atomic weapons in the Manhattan Project, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists subsequently created the Doomsday Clock in 1947 using the imagery of apocalypse (midnight) and the contemporary idiom of nuclear explosion (countdown to zero), to convey threats to humanity and the planet. The decision to move the minute hand of the Doomsday Clock is made every year by the Bulletin's Science and Security Board in consultation with its Board of Sponsors, which includes 18 Nobel Laureates. The Clock has become a universally recognized indicator of the world's vulnerability to catastrophe from nuclear weapons, climate change, and new technologies emerging in other domains.

North Korea severed the inter-Korean communication hotline that runs through the truce village of Panmunjom following its threat to do so last week, South Korea's unification ministry said Monday.
The ministry said the North seems to have disconnected the emergency link set up to ensure prompt two-way communication to deal with any sudden developments along the demilitarized zone that separates the two Koreas. It said attempts to contact the North by telephone at 9 a.m. failed.
Pyongyang warned last week that it will no longer respect the armistice agreement that halted the Korean War (1950-53) as of Monday, and threatened to cut the communications hotline as well as pull out its military liaison office from Panmunjom.
North Korea also said that all non-aggression pacts reached in the past between Seoul and Pyongyang were null and void, and warned it can take military measures to counter provocations caused by the start of the annual South Korea-U.S. Key Resolve exercise. Pyongyang in recent days stepped up its attack against the military exercise that is designed to repel any armed aggression from the North as a war game aimed at invading the North.
Inter-Korean tensions have been running high since the North detonated its third nuclear device on Feb. 12 and the United Nations agreed to slap tougher sanctions against the communist country for its provocations.
The North has repeatedly threatened to turn Seoul and Washington into a "sea of fire" and claimed it has the nuclear capability to harshly strike its foes.

Do ATSers really think that li'l kim isnt going to try something?.
Let me just say that theres a few things we should be taking notice of, NK are known to make these threats, however, theyve never took these threats to this extreme. The direct threat of nuking the US, the direct threat of making the ceasefire with SK null & void, cutting the phoneline with SK and last but certainly not least their whole armed forces appears to be on final standby.
Now forgive me if im wrong but threats in the past have usually faded by now, these recent threats up to now are being put into place as though they are going to be followed through. I dont trust him or his regime, they all must have been at that megalomaniac juice again.
Just keep a close watch on this, unexpected attacks have caught us off guard before.
Putin expelled the U.S. Agency for International Development without notice in September, ending two decades of work that provided medical and other services alongside what he sees as subversive support for democracy.
