Fire breaks out at Coachella music festival

A fire has broken out at Coachella music festival in California, with footage showing the blaze tearing through a shower block. Attendees shared films on social media of the fire, which took place at the festival’s campsite in the early hours of Saturday. The festival – which kicked off on Friday evening with a performance by Donald Glover’s alter ego, Childish Gambino – is one of the world’s most popular music events, with tens of thousands of people attending over its first weekend. But the fire caused panic, with footage posted online showing a man urging festivalgoers to “back up, back up” as the mobile shower unit stood ablaze behind him. showers at Coachella campground caught on fire... “everybody out of the showers now!” - someone in their towel running out pic.twitter.com/WPPUHjXgxe — 🍯 (@spxheda) April 13, 2019 couple of explosion sounds heard by us campers - luckily fire seems to be out pic.twitter.com/r2LofmUyj3 — 🍯 (@spxheda) April 13, 2019 One camper

                Defending champions Cameroon are in Group F with Ghana, Benin and Guinea-Bissau. The tournament will take place from 21 June to 19 July, meaning Europe-based players will not miss club games. It is the biggest Afcon yet, with 24 teams, and the first to be held in Europe's summer rather than January or February. The draw was held next to the pyramids of Giza. Morocco coach Herve Renard is looking to win an unprecedented third Africa Cup of Nations - with a third team. The Atlas Lions are in Group D with one of the previous teams he won it with, the Ivory Coast. South Africa and neighbouring Namibia complete that group. The first game of the tournament will be Egypt - who are likely to have Liverpool star Mohamed Salah in their team - against Zimbabwe on 21 June at Cairo Stadium. Two of the three tournament debutants - Madagascar and Burundi - are in Group B with Nigeria and Guinea. The other new team, Mauritania, are in Group E with Tunisia, Mali
