Many times, the news has been published in the papers that the end of the world will be certain if a nuclear war breaks out.

Adding a comma after "Many times" helps improve the readability of the sentence.

'The news' is correct because they talk about a particular news of world's end but how can we use 'the' with papers, when there is no particular paper is defined, say the telegraph or the Hindu.

I think that 'will be certain' is correct because it is 'if' the nuclear war breaks out. It is a condition.
