Threat of Nuclear weapons highest since WWII, UN security expert warns

A senior UN security expert has warned that nuclear war is its the highest risk since WWII.

Renata Dwan, UN Institute for Disarmament Research director, said the arms control landscape is changing, partly due to strategic competition between the US and China, increasing the threat of nuclear weapons use.

Dwan told reporters in Geneva on Wednesday that increasing prevalence of armed groups is blurring the line between offence and defence.
