Both Fulham Road and Sydney Street were closed as staff and patients began emerging from the hospital while crowds gathered at the perimeter to watch the scene.
Patient Jason Boas was awaiting treatment when the fire broke out.
He told the BBC: "All the patients and staff did not panic, and left in an orderly fashion. The staff were quite fantastic, and there was no fear whatsoever.
"We were evacuated and I had my cannula taken out in a local pub by one of the wonderful nurses. We were then sent home, and hopefully tomorrow I will go back to the hospital for treatment."
The Royal Marsden was the first hospital in the world dedicated to cancer treatment and research into the causes of the disease.
With its academic partner The Institute of Cancer Research, it forms the largest comprehensive cancer centre in Europe, seeing more than 40,000 patients from the UK and abroad each year.
London Mayor Ken Livingstone described the fire as "a terrible incident" and paid tribute to the staff and emergency services who got patients out.
"I began my working career at the Royal Marsden Hospital and experienced first hand the hard work that is done to tackle cancer," he added.
Helplines have been set up for people concerned about anyone who may have been affected by the fire. They are: 020 8661 3836/9 and 020 8770 9395/9683.
Goodwood, West Sussex - With development of the Cullinan, thc first SUV from Rolls-Royce, nearing its conclusion ahead of the car’s global debut later in 2018, the maker has teamed up with National Geographic and adventure photographer Cory Richards to get extra mileage (if you’ll forgive the worst pun ever published on IOL Motoring) out of the final series of durability tests.
As the Cullinan test mule tackles a series of of punishing terrains and altitude changes in the Highlands of Scotland, the gigantic dunes of the Arabian Desert, and the toughest landscapes in the United States, they’ll be publishing a series of videos by Richards entitled the final challenge, featuring the spectacular scenery and special people he meets along the way.
Whatever goes wrong - and something always does on an epic series of challenges such as this - it’ll all happen right in the public eye, and you’ll be able to see it here, starting right now.
Now that the school year is almost over — which is something I won’t admit out loud, but writing it down seems okay — I’ve been thinking of the things about vet school that have surprised me over the last years. I thought brainstorming for this column would be a little like pulling teeth (why is that even still a saying? I hope my dentist doesn’t find it hard to pull out teeth, and I don’t remember it being particularly painful), but it turned out to be surprisingly easy. I’ll start with the things that relate directly to what we learn. I feel like we’ve learned how to make animals come alive — metaphorically, at least for now – under our fingertips. I pet my cat and I can picture what’s underneath all that fur, or I look at my horse and have a much more complete understanding of how he moves. Here’s a story to help this make sense for you. When I was very young, someone told me how to differentiate male sparrows from female sparrows. Ever since then, every time I saw a sparrow I would think in my head “male sparrow!” or “female sparrow!” but when I casually mentioned something about a male sparrow to a friend a little while ago she looked at me like I was crazy. (If you’re curious, male sparrows are the ones with the pretty dark brown streaks on their heads). Vet school has made it so that when I look at an animal, I see so much more than I used to. I’ve also been surprised at the amount and variety of animal contact we’ve had. I didn’t ever really process that a vet school curriculum would include vaccinating llamas and trimming sheep hooves. However, I’m incredibly grateful that we get the opportunity to do things like this, because it makes everything that much more real for me, and makes me start to understand that one day I’ll be the one directly responsible for the lives of other creatures. Additionally, my friends in med school have to practice things on themselves. I think vet school wins on that front (well, on all fronts, clearly, otherwise I wouldn’t be here, but this is a good example), because as much as I love my classmates, I would much prefer not to practice sticking needles into them. Which brings me to the social aspect of vet school. I’m used to the undergrad Cornell, which is so massive that you never expect to know even half the people in your classes, and even in the small seminar classes you almost never interact with each other outside of class. I’m not complaining — I loved the feeling of fitting into a niche as part of something bigger, and I knew what I was getting myself into. Which makes the contrast with vet school Cornell even larger. Almost everyone in my class knows each other and we see each other often outside of school (on the rare occasions that “outside of school” exists). Fortunately, the people are all fantastic. I’m not saying that we’re all best friends, but we all seem to respect each other and get along well. Although the upperclassmen say that by the end of the four years, the way you see your classmates changes pretty dramatically. Hopefully that doesn’t happen to us. I also wasn’t expecting Ithaca itself to change for me as much as it has. I’ve only been to the arts quad once this year, and basically only go into Collegetown to meet friends who are still undergrads. Really the only thing that’s stayed the same is the Wegman’s trips. My life is also considerably more dependent on my car than it ever used to be. We drive everywhere — to school, shopping, home, back to school again. It feels a lot like living in suburbia and being in senior year of high school again. Speaking of Ithaca, I also feel like the general attitude of the community to the vet school is different from the attitude of the community to Cornell in general. This one could be all in my head, but I’ve noticed when I tell people I’m in vet school they say, “Oh vet school! Cool!” Usually followed by “So I have a dog…” But when I used to tell people in Ithaca I was an undergrad at Cornell, the reaction was more “Oh. Cornell.” On a more flippant note, I was surprised to find that I could be (almost) fully functional at 8 a.m. on a regular basis, to the point that sleeping in on the weekends means waking up at 9:30. And to think, I used to drag my feet to those 9:05 classes and absolutely refuse to take 8:40s. Also, vet school has changed my wardrobe into a strange hybrid of flannel (comfy), fancy (when interacting with clients) and farm (when interacting with large animals). Seriously, though, in the beginning I would have told you that I was going into the whole experience with no expectations. Clearly I must have had some if so many things over the last year surprised me. I would say that I was excited to see what second year has to bring, but that would only be a half truth because there’s a lot of learning and a set of exams before the summertime and I’ve heard that fall of second year is one of the hardest parts of vet school. So instead, I suppose I’ll say, I’m excited to see how the rest of vet school will continue to surprise me. And that’s the truth.
The revival of “Roseanne” debuted to the second-best ratings of any scripted TV episode all year — and it looks like President Donald Trump took notice.
According to the New York Times, President Trump called Roseanne Barr, the creator and star of “Roseanne” and an avid supporter of the President, to congratulate her on the revival’s success.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders confirmed the call. The New York Times cited a source who said Trump was “enthralled” with “Roseanne’s” “huge” ratings, and the President also thanked Barr for her support. The show earned 18.2 million viewers, second only to the post-Super Bowl episode of “This Is Us,” which earned 26.97 million viewers.
The revival of “Roseanne” features many of the original’s characters, including Barr, Sara Gilbert, and John Goodman. Roseanne is a Trump supporter in the show, with her TV sister Jackie Harris (Laurie Metcalf) written as a Hillary supporter.
YOUTUBER Logan Paul has apologised after saying he plans to "go gay for a month" and then "swing back".
The 23-year-old came under fire last year when he filmed a dead body in a Japanese suicide forest, and has now been accused of mocking LGBTQ+ culture.
On his podcast 'Impaulsive' on Wednesday the controversial blogger claimed he was taking up resolutions for the first three months of 2019.
He says in January they're going vegan and sober, followed by "fatal February" during which they plan to eat steaks and drinks a lot of alcohol - but "male only March" was the one Paul is being blasted for.
On the podcast he says: "So it's male only March. We're gonna attempt to go gay for just one month."
Co-host Mike Majlak follows the explanation saying: "For one month, and then swing, and then go back."
The vlogger has been slammed for his comments on social media, where members of the LGBTQ+ community explain being gay isn't a choice.
GLAAD, an American media monitoring organisation founded by LGBTQ+ people, tweeted "That's not how it works Logan Paul".
To which Paul responded: "Very poor choice of words… my fault. let’s get together and talk about it on my podcast next week?"
But his apology didn't have the desired effect with one person responding: "It’s not the 'choice of words' you used, it’s your beyond insensitivity to the subject.
"Do you understand anything about our community and the “choice” you think we have to be who we are? Promoting your podcast and having an LGBTQ+ organization coming on it isn’t an apology."

JACK Tweed paid tribute to his late wife Jade Goody on the 10th anniversary of her tragic death.
Jack Tweed was pictured looking understandably emotional as he laid flowers down on his late wife Jade Goody's grave on the 10th anniversary of her untimely death.
Jade tragically died in March 2009, at the age of 27, from cervical cancer, leaving behind husband Jack and her two beautiful children, Bobby, now 15, and Freddy, now 14 – who she shares with Jeff Brazier.
Paying tribute to the Big Brother star, the 31 year old was seen looking understandably emotional as he arrived at St Thomas' Church in Essex on Friday afternoon.
Wiping tears away from his eyes, Mark Wright's close friend placed flowers on Jade's tombstone - which reads '"In everlasting memory of Jade Cersia Lorraine Goody; 5 June 1981 - 22 March 2009; A mother, wife, daughter, granddaughter.'"
While marking his late wife's anniversary, Jack discussed their wedding day in an exclusive interview with OK! magazine this week, revealing: “It’s still the happiest day of my life.
In a heartwarming social media post today, Jack shared a number of beautiful photos of the pair together.
Alongside the images, Jack wrote: "Ten years ago since this beautiful smile left us.
"Such a small thing to go and have a check up when it can have such a massive impact if you don’t. Do not leave it to late. I miss you everyday jade x. #cervicalcancer#jadeslegacy #raiseawareness#rememberjade".
Social media posts show detained businessman Richard Muljadi tie the knot with his fiancée Shalvynne at a church in Jakarta. The screenshots, possibly taken from social media accounts of guests to the holy matrimony, gained more than 75,000 likes and over 1500 comments. Some commenters expressed their surprise seeing Richard, heir to oil, gas and mining company PT Mulia Graha Abadi, as a free man in the church, wondering if he had been released.
South Jakarta District Court chief prosecutor Supardi told kompas.com on Friday evening that he only knew that Richard was at the Drug Addiction Hospital (RSKO) in Cilandak, South Jakarta.
Supardi went on to say that his office had never issued a permission for the drug abuse suspect to conduct a wedding, adding that the latter had never requested such a permission.
Furthermore, Supardi said he would coordinate with the judge handling Richard’s case regarding the wedding.
“We have to conduct a meeting before I can make a decision, because it is the judge’s domain to issue a permission,” said Supardi, who later added Richard might not face any consequences over the matter.
“I am sure he was escorted from the hospital, but I don’t know,” he said.
WASHINGTON: United States Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for South and Central Asian Affairs Alice Wells has commended Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan’s statement on the importance of peace on both sides of the Pak-Afghan border.
While addressing a press conference, Wells emphasised that Pakistan has a critical role to play in the long-term stability of Afghanistan.
Both Pakistan and Afghanistan embarked an effort to improve their ties for negotiating a solidarity document which we strongly support,” Wells added.
Wells stated that as Afghan President Ashraf Ghani is putting forward a peace proposal in the interests of the Afghan people, it is a perfect time for all parties to come to the negotiating table.
On India’s role in Afghanistan, Wells said, “One of the key new features of strategy tapping is that India is supporting the economic development of Afghanistan up to 2020. We need to see Afghanistan stitched back into the region,” she remarked.
She added that Washington wishes to build its long-standing commitment to the region and has taken important steps to ensure the region’s future is free, open and operating in a rule-based system.
The US diplomate further stated that the US has conducted $1.4 trillion in two-way trade with the countries in the Indo-Pacific region.
She informed that more than USD 100 million of funding will go to South Asia, which includes USD 39 million for Bangladesh, USD 14 million for Sri Lanka and USD 17 million for Nepal.
After tweeting that NFL fans could consider boycotting companies that sponsor the Dallas Cowboys if they want to hurt team owner Jerry Jones' bottom line, popular "SportsCenter" host Jemele Hill was suspended from ESPN on Monday for violating the network's social media guidelines.
It wasn't the first time Hill caused a Twitter controversy. In September, she made headlines for calling President Donald Trump a "white supremacist" in a series of critical tweets.
Hill has been unafraid to speak her mind from her first years with ESPN, allowing fans to hear a wide range of views on sports, politics, and pop culture. Below, read more about Hill's rise through the ranks of sports media, culminating with her major star turn over the past couple of months.
Jemele Hill was born in Detroit and attended Michigan State University. She worked for newspapers in Detroit, Raleigh, and Orlando before joining ESPN as a national columnist in 2006.
She quickly became a rising star at the network, appearing on shows like "First Take," "Outside the Lines," and "Around the Horn."
While Hill has become a respected name in sports media, she's had a penchant for controversial statements from early on in her career. In a 2008 column, she compared supporting the Boston Celtics to believing that Adolf Hitler was a victim.
ESPN wound up removing a portion of the article, and Hill apologized for the comparison. She was still suspended for one week.
In 2011, Hill started the "His & Hers" podcast with Michael Smith, a fellow ESPN writer and former reporter for the Boston Globe. She later joined Smith's show "Numbers Never Lie" as a co-host.
The show had a strong following, but may have been best known for their many spoof videos, including this one that was a take on a scene from "Anchorman."
In 2014, "Numbers Never Lie" was renamed "His & Hers." Stephen Battaglio of the Los Angeles Times wrote that Hill and Smith possessed "wound-up energy that comes from years of turning out columns and stories under tight newspaper deadlines."
In February, Hill and Smith became the evening anchors of the latest incarnation of the 6 p.m. "SportsCenter," renamed, "SC6."
In September, Hill took to Twitter and accused President Donald Trump of being a white supremacist. While Hill and Trump disagree on a number of issues, Trump's perceived haphazard support for historically black colleges was what sparked the comment.
The tweets drew a swift and harsh response from the White House, which suggested that ESPN should fire Hill. "I’m not sure [Trump is] aware but I think that’s one of the more outrageous comments that anyone could make and certainly something that I think is a fireable offense by ESPN,” said press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
Trump himself responded to Hill via Twitter. He slammed ESPN for its programming and perceived political leanings and demanded an apology.
In light of the controversy, ESPN reportedly attempted to replace Hill on "SC6" that night, but Smith refused to go on the air without his longtime collaborator. The network then offered Elle Duncan and Michael Eaves a chance to host, but they turned it down. Hill and Smith continued on the air as scheduled.
Hill expressed regret for her actions in an essay for The Undefeated. While she stood by the remarks, she also wrote that "fair or not, people can’t or won’t separate who I am on Twitter from the person who co-hosts the 6 p.m. SportsCenter."
Hill was in the news again in October, when she suggested that boycotting the Dallas Cowboys' advertisers may be the best way to impact Jerry Jones' bottom line. Jones had recently told his team that he would bench any player who chose to kneel during the national anthem.
This time, Hill was suspended for one week for her tweets. ESPN termed the incident "a second violation of our social-media guidelines."
Trump took the opportunity to take another shot at Hill, this time in more direct terms. "With Jemele Hill at the mike, it is no wonder ESPN ratings have 'tanked,' in fact, tanked so badly it is the talk of the industry!" he tweeted.
Hill was defended by a number of her colleagues, including entertainment journalist Kelley L. Carter. "She really doesn't back down at all....She definitely is a voice for young black women," Carter said.
A number of celebrities also chimed in, including Chance the Rapper, Common, and J. Cole.
While Hill's tweets caused controversy that led to her suspension, they also helped her become one of the top names to watch in all of sports media.
You can learn more about Hill's career, personality, and views in this video from The Undefeated.
Now get to know ESPN's next big star, Katie Nolan.
Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump is delaying his announced of his running mate following the deadly attack on Nice France, as Trump was slated to announce that Indiana Gov. Mike Pence would be his vice presidential pick.
ABC News reported that Trump has offered Pence to be his running mate, and Pence is reportedly traveling to New York as of Thursday evening. ABC News also reports that Pence has formally accepted Trump's offer.
Despite the reports, Trump refuted the news that he has selected Pence on Fox News Thursday evening. He said no decision has been made.
The Indianapolis Star has confirmed that Pence will be dropping out of Indiana's gubernatorial race to run with Trump.
Pence was up for gubernatorial re-election in Indiana this year. Indiana law stipulated he had to decide by Friday whether he wanted to run for governor or for vice president, as he cannot run for both.
Trump was reportedly choosing between former House speaker Newt Gingrich, and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. Retired Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn was also considered a candidate to be Trump's running mate.
Despite all signs pointing to Pence as Trump's VP pick, Gingrich appeared to give a last-minute pitch for the job in a Facebook Live video on Thursday afternoon.
Prior to serving as Indiana's governor, Pence served in the House of Representatives from 2001 to 2013. From 2009-2011, Pence served as the House Republican Conference Chairman.
Last year, Pence received criticism from LGBT groups after signing into the law the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. Some groups felt that the law allowed businesses to discriminate against LGBT people on the basis of religion. The law drew opposition from the NCAA, the NBA, Apple CEO Tim Cook and dozens of other major corporations. Pence later signed an amendment to the law protecting the rights of LGBT people.
Pence has also cut taxes and balanced Indiana's budget during his time in office.
Pence's approval rating has fallen in the past few months, at hovered around 40 percent in a may poll, according to Politico. Despite the low approval rating, Pence was leading Democrat John Gregg in recent gubernatorial polls .
Pence originally endorsed Texas Sen. Ted Cruz for president . After Cruz dropped his bid for the Republican nomination, he quickly endorsed presumptive nominee Trump — a move some of his fellow GOP governors, like Ohio Gov. John Kasich, have been reluctant to make.
Pence introduced Trump at a stump speech outside of Indianapolis on Tuesday, where he attacked presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, calling her dishonest and untrustworthy.
"I don't know if he's going to be your governor or your vice president, who the hell knows?" Trump said following Pence's introduction.
In its decade-long battle to reverse a one-time record European Union antitrust fine, Intel has made some small progress: its appeal continues.
According to court documents, the European Court of Justice today referred Intel's case back to the lower General Court, which had denied the appeal in 2014.
The EU Commission fined Intel €1.06bn in 2009 for providing anti-competitive rebates to PC-makers Dell, HP and Lenovo to use its chips instead of those made by rival AMD, plus making payments to German retailer Media Saturn Holding to only offer computers with Intel inside.
After the ruling, Intel had tried to annul the decision or reduce the fine in General Court. One of its arguments was that the Commission was incorrectly applying its test for determining if the rebates and payments restricted competition; it claimed if the test was applied correctly, the Commission would have seen that they were fine.
The General Court ruled that there was nothing to change, so Intel bumped the appeal to the European Court of Justice.
The Advocate General released a non-binding opinion (PDF) that the General Court should get a fresh review in 2016.
In its ruling today, the European Court of Justice found that the General Court had missed a few things, including addressing Intel's criticisms of the test. The General Court had decided that it wasn't necessary to check if it was error-free and followed the rules, or check if Intel had done its own alternative calculations correctly.
"The review by the General Court, in the light of the arguments put forward by Intel, of whether the rebates at issue are capable of restricting competition, involves the examination of factual and economic evidence which it is for that Court to carry out," the European Court of Justice ruling states.
