Scientists reset Doomsday Clock: '2 minutes to midnight'

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists reset its "Doomsday Clock" Thursday in Washington, D.C., predicting the world is 30 seconds closer to annihilation, thanks to President Donald Trump.

Scientists with the organization made their annual update, revealing how close earth is to "midnight" -- the closer we are, the greater the chance of annihilation.

The 2018 clock was set to "2 minutes" to midnight. The clock for last year was set at two-and-a-half minutes to midnight.
