Live Monitor

World War 3 news, evidence and live risk monitoring

For readers searching for World War 3 news or asking whether WW3 has started, the Live Monitor separates fast-moving strategic evidence from the slower validated index. Current-awareness items can trigger investigation without becoming unapproved score points.

This statement reflects the reviewed evidence register, not a claim that every possible source worldwide has been checked in real time.

Scenario monitor

Direct nuclear-power combat

No qualifying fact is recorded in the reviewed evidence. A candidate report alone cannot activate the scenario.

Inactive in reviewed evidence
CandidateNon-scoring
Russian conditional nuclear-use warning

Retained for investigation. It does not establish nuclear readiness change, direct Russia–NATO combat or nuclear use.

Source freshness

Why the index is not dated today

Direct Conflict coverage is waiting for its next verified UCDP Candidate release. Missing coverage is never treated as zero.

Evidence ladder

Fast signals do not automatically become facts

The current-awareness layer is designed to move quickly without corrupting the numerical methodology.

1 · CandidatePrompt investigation

GDELT, a single report or another sensor can raise a candidate. Numeric contribution remains null.

2 · CorroboratedMultiple supporting sources

Independent evidence can strengthen an assessment, but not every corroborated development activates a scenario.

3 · Authoritative / activePredicate rules satisfied

Only an approved factual scenario state can invoke an approved scenario floor.

Why this matters

Current awareness can be faster than the index without pretending to be the index

The validated continuous score depends on source coverage that can lag. The Live Monitor gives visitors a transparent view of important developments since the latest index date while preserving the distinction between rapid evidence and approved arithmetic.
