NEW: Newsnight has learned that Pizza Express held its own inquiry into ex-Prince Andrew's claim he went to Pizza Express on the date Virginia Guiffre says she was forced to have sex with him 

• it found no evidence to suggest Mountbatten-Windsor had visited and was telling the truth - and also nothing to suggest he was not

• Newsnight’s made extensive inquiries to see if there’s any record of any customer or any staff member having seen him there on March 10, 2001 - we found none 

• we submitted FOI requests to the Met Police asking if royal protection officers had accompanied Andrew to Pizza Express on that date 25 yrs ago. They told us: ‘Confirming or denying that information is held, would reveal whether protection had been afforded to a specific individual other than the King and the prime minister’

• that’s despite the Met previously referring to Andrew’s royal protection officers - including in a press statement in Feb this year 

• Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey told us: ‘I really can't see how revealing that Andrew had police protection 25 years ago would play into the hands of terrorists as the Met claims’

@YousraElbagir is facing dangerous cyber harassment from pro-junta supporters in Burkina Faso. We must act now. I call on @RSF_inter, @CPJ to stand with women journalists everywhere. Silence is not an option. #PressFreedom

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

Good morning, world! 🌎

We have spectacular new high-resolution images of our home planet, all of us looking back through the Orion capsule window at our Artemis II astronauts as they continue their journey to the Moon.

Edna Mmbali Ombakho came to the UK from Kenya to study and reach her goals, only to end up being found dead in a body of water. No wall-to-wall mainstream media coverage. No televised press conference. Just one local news report followed by silence. https://t.co/kyZUqIcM5b

A body has been found in water in the search for missing student Edna Mmbali Ombakho who disappeared a month ago. She was described by friends & family as ‘diligent, quiet and with strong academic ambitions.’ Rest in peace Edna Mmbali Ombakho 🕊️🙏🏾 https://t.co/CHfcpZNXnU
