Hello everyone!! I am Mufidah. Today i wil practice my speaking and pronunciation through reading a news. Good evening, viewers. You're watching CTC News with me, Mufidah Yumna. Today news is WHO warns pandemic will drag on deep into 2022. Covid has severely affected healthcare staff and may have killed between 80,000 and 180,000, the World Health Organization (WHO) says. Healthcare workers must be prioritised for vaccines, WHO head Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said, and he criticised unfairness in the distribution of jabs. The deaths occurred between January 2020 and May of this year. Earlier, another senior WHO official warned a lack of jabs could see the pandemic continue well into next year. There are an estimated 135 million healthcare workers globally. "Data from 119 countries suggest that on average, two in five healthcare workers globally are fully vaccinated," Dr Tedros said. "But of course, that average masks huge differences across regions and economic groupings." Fewer than one in 10 healthcare workers were fully vaccinated in Africa, he said, compared with eight in 10 in high-income countries. A failure to provide poorer countries with enough vaccines was highlighted earlier by Dr Bruce Aylward, a senior leader at the WHO, who said it meant the Covid crisis could "easily drag on deep into 2022". Less than 5% of Africa's population have been vaccinated, compared with 40% on most other continents. The vast majority of Covid vaccines overall have been used in high-income or upper middle-income countries. Africa accounts for just 2.6% of doses administered globally. Let's move on to the next news. Sudan coup: Military dissolves civilian government and arrests leaders.A coup is under way in Sudan, where the military has dissolved civilian rule, arrested political leaders and declared a state of emergency. The coup leader, Gen Abdel Fattah Burhan, blamed political infighting. Protests have erupted in several cities including the capital Khartoum. Three people are said to have died after being shot by the armed forces. Military and civilian leaders have been at odds since long-time ruler Omar al-Bashir was overthrown two years ago. Large numbers of protesters are on the streets of the capital demanding the return of civilian rule, BBC Arabic's Mohamed Osman reports from Khartoum. More protesters are expected to join the crowds after calls for action by political parties and professional unions, our correspondent says. Doctors have refused to work at hospitals and institutions under military rule, except in emergencies, he adds. One demonstrator, Sawsan Bashir, told AFP news agency: "We will not leave the streets until the civilian government is back and the transition is back." "We are ready to give our lives for the democratic transition in Sudan," fellow protester Haitham Mohamed said. Army and paramilitary troops have been deployed across Khartoum, the city's airport is closed and international flights are suspended. The internet is also down. At least three people have been killed and 80 have been injured, the Sudan Central Doctor's Committee wrote on its Facebook page. Those who died had been shot by soldiers, it said. Video footage from Khartoum on Monday showed large groups in the streets, including many women. Barricades of burning tyres can be seen, with plumes of black smoke rising in various parts of the city."There is tension and also violence because people tried to go to the army headquarters… they were met with gunshots", human rights defender Duaa Tariq told the BBC. She added there was fear and confusion in the streets, but also solidarity between the protesters. And that was the news for this evening. I am Mufidah Yumna, good evening and see you. Alright. That's all from me, thank you for listening and see you on my next podcast.
