The National Gallery in London has banned selfie sticks.

The gallery says it has placed them in the same category as tripods, which are banned "in order to protect paintings, individual privacy and the overall visitor experience".
The National Gallery ban follows other galleries around the world, including the Smithsonian museums in Washington.
The selfie stick is an elongated pole on which a camera or mobile phone can be attached to take a better photo.
Sales of the selfie stick have soared since last year and they are now a common sight at tourist sites.
The ban by the National Gallery was welcomed by art critic Brian Sewell. He told The Times: "They are possibly quite dangerous to the art work and cause appalling crowding around a painting.
"Anyone who actually wants to go and see a painting can't because people are too busy taking photos. I've seen things in the National Gallery which make my hair stand on end."
Some visitors at the National Gallery have backed the ban.
Morny Davison told the Press Association the selfie stick was "an interference in what one hopes is a reasonably calm experience looking at great pictures."
Another visitor said art lovers would be "thrilled" by the ban, adding: "They should have been banned some time ago."
Other British institutions could also follow the ban.
The British Museum has confirmed it is reviewing its policy on selfie sticks.
A spokeswoman said: "The safety of objects and visitors is paramount to the British Museum".
Selfie sticks are currently allowed at the National Portrait Gallery, but a spokesman said "anything that may prove disruptive is reviewed on an ongoing basis.".
"It is important that all our visitors enjoy their experience at the Gallery."
The Tate does still allow the use of selfie sticks "provided that users respect fellow visitors and adhere to Tate's photography policy".
A spokesman for the Natural History Museum said it does not currently ban the use of selfie sticks and "do not currently see a need to alter our stance on this issue".
The National Museum Cardiff does not permit any camera extension devices such as tripods, and it classes selfie sticks under this category.
A spokesperson said the policy was in place "to ensure the safety of our visitors and the museum's collections, especially during crowded conditions.
"We encourage museum visitors to take selfies and share their experiences but leave the selfie sticks at home."
The BBC is awaiting confirmation from the National Galleries of Scotland to what their policy is.
It used to be so easy.
Cameras were banned - flashlight was bad for the pictures and visitors having their own copies of paintings was bad for business.
The camera phone changed all that - making it unfeasible for galleries to stop people taking photographs.
The selfie stick has introduced a new problem, which is to stop people looking at pictures and in so doing creates a distraction for those who are trying to study what the gallery has to offer. So the rationale for banning them is because they cause a disturbance - the side benefit being you will now once again have to go the museum shop to get your copy of your favourite picture.
Earlier this month, the Smithsonian museum group announced it had banned selfie sticks from its 19 museums and galleries in the US capital.
"This is a preventive measure to protect visitors and objects, especially during crowded conditions," it said in a statement.
It followed similar restrictions from museums and galleries in the US including New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art and Modern Museum of Art (MOMA), the Getty Center in Los Angeles and the Cleveland Museum of Art.
The palace of Versailles was the first museum in Europe to ban the use of selfie sticks and it is expected that The Louvre and the Pompidou centre are likely to follow suit.
Selfie sticks are also banned from music venues in the UK including the O2 and Wembley Arena.


Scott Quigg has had surgery on a broken jaw following his super-bantamweight title defeat by Carl Frampton on Saturday.

Bury's Quigg, 27, lost his WBA belt to IBF champion Frampton via a split decision in Manchester.
He suffered the injury in round four of what was his first defeat.
On Sunday, Quigg's promoter Eddie Hearn tweeted: "Thoughts with @scottquigg currently undergoing surgery on broken jaw... you will be back stronger!"
Belfast's Frampton, 29, controlled the first half of Saturday's fight and emerged a deserved winner. He then said he would rather "move on to bigger and better things" than have a rematch.
Quigg came on strong in the final rounds but two of the three judges awarded the fight to Frampton in front of 20,000 fans at the Manchester Arena.
It was Quigg's first defeat in 34 professional fights, stretching back to 2007. Frampton is undefeated in 22 fights since turning pro in 2009.


The International Cricket Council (ICC) will submit an application for the inclusion of a women's cricket event at the 2022 Commonwealth Games.

Cricket last took place at the Games in 1998, when a men's event was won by South Africa.
It is not yet known if the plans for the event in Durban, South Africa, are for a T20 or 50-over format.
Discussions will also take place later in the year on cricket's potential participation at the Olympic Games.
ICC chairman Shashank Manohar said: "The board has taken a strategic decision to support the inclusion of women's cricket in the 2022 Commonwealth Games as it will enhance the profile of the sport.
"It will also create additional exposure and experiences for female cricketers."


President Obama has released the final budget proposal of his presidency, a $4.1tn (Â£2.8tn) programme that includes a $10.25 per barrel tax on oil.

The Republican-controlled Congress is expected to reject it.
The leaders of the House and Senate budget committees jointly announced they would not invite Mr Obama's budget director to testify before them.
Despite the setbacks, the White House has said the budget sticks to a bipartisan agenda reached last autumn.
The budget is for the 2017 fiscal year and would not take effect until 1 October 2016.
The tax on oil would raise $319bn over 10 years. The US Treasury said that the tax would apply to both imported and domestically-produced oil, but would not be collected on US oil shipped overseas.
The plan would also temporarily exempt home-heating oil from the tax.
The White House said the tax "creates a clear incentive for private-sector innovation to reduce America's reliance on oil and invest in clean energy technologies that will power our future".
The tax would be paid by oil companies in order to boost spending on transportation infrastructure, including mass transit and high-speed rail, and autonomous vehicles.
President Obama's budget includes $11bn to fight so-called Islamic State, plus money for early childhood education, and research and development.
It includes $19bn in spending on cyber security that would allow for a overhaul of the federal government's internal computing systems.
Last year, systems at the Office of Personnel Management were hacked, exposing the personal information of government employees and job applicants.
The proposed budget envisions a deficit of $503bn in the 2017 fiscal year after a $616bn budget gap in the current fiscal year, which ends on 30 September.
It seeks to cut deficits by $2.9tn over 10 years, largely through smaller tax breaks for wealthy earners, new savings in Medicare healthcare, and assumptions that adoption of its policies would boost economic growth.
Over 10 years, deficits would average 2.5% of US economic output, compared with about 4% in the Congressional Budget Office's estimate, which is based on current laws.
"That [budget] document... will be President Obama's final vision of how he lays out the fiscal future for the country," said Joel Friedman, vice president for federal fiscal policy at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
"I don't think anyone expects it to be enacted this year. Republicans aren't going to embrace it, but that doesn't mean it's not going to be a useful document."
Congress can advance elements of the budget without endorsing the entire proposal.


New data on carbon shows that China's emissions per head of population have surpassed the EU for the first time.

The researchers say that India is also forecast to beat Europe's CO2 output in 2019.
Scientists say that global totals are increasing fast and will likely exceed the limit for dangerous climate change within 30 years.
The world has already used up two thirds of the warming gases researchers calculate will breach 2 degrees C.
The Global Carbon Project involves researchers from several different institutes around the world and it provides objective details on the scale of annual emissions.
The latest data shows that a record 36 billion tonnes of carbon from all human sources were emitted in 2013.
The biggest emitters were China, which produced 29% of the total, followed by the US at 15%, the EU at 10% and India at 7.1%
But in an interesting development, China's emissions per head of population exceeding those of the European Union for the first time.
While the per capita average for the world as a whole is 5 tonnes of carbon dioxide, China is now producing 7.2 tonnes per person, to the EU's 6.8 tonnes. The US is still far ahead on 16.5 tonnes per person.
"We now see China's per capita emissions surpassing the EU," said Dr Robbie Andrew, from the Centre for International Climate and Environmental Research in Norway, who was involved in the research.
"They are still nowhere near the US or Australia, but the fact that they have surpassed the EU will be quite surprising to a lot of people."
This development will shine an interesting light on global climate negotiations where China has often used its relatively low per capita emissions to argue that it is on the same page as other developing countries, and that restrictions on its use of carbon were not justified.
China's rapid industrialisation over the past 20 years has seen the construction of huge numbers of mainly coal fired power stations.
This build-up means that the emissions that China is committed to in the future, now exceed the total of everything it has emitted to date.
Prof Corinne Le Quere from the University of East Anglia, who is also involved with Carbon Project, said that a significant proportion of China's emissions were in fact, driven by demand from consumers in Europe and the US.
"In China about 20% of their emissions are for producing clothes, furniture even solar panels that are shipped to Europe and America."
"If you look at the emissions in Europe with that perspective, they would be 30% higher if we accounted for those goods that are produced elsewhere."
The other major emissions growth is seen in India. In 2013 the country's carbon grew by 5.1%, and it is now on track to overtake the EU in 2019.
"India has enormous problems, if the current government could sort out the issues with toilets that would an enormous achievement," said Dr Andrew.
"They have so many things to focus on in that country, to ask them to pull back on emissions, is a big problem."
For 2014, the carbon record is likely to be broken again as emissions are likely to hit 40bn tonnes, 65% above 1990 levels.
The researchers involved say the recent rise is due to the global economic recovery combined with a lower than expected increases in carbon intensity, especially in the developing world.
The scientists have calculated that to have a good chance of keeping global warming below 2 degrees C, total emissions of carbon will have stay under 3,200 billion tonnes.
The world has about 1,200 billion tonnes left, but the latest data shows that there is a now a declining chance of now staying below the 2 degree target.
"The global emissions are continuing to increase at an incredible rate," said Prof Le Quere.
"In about 30 years we will have used up the remaining quota, that's extremely rapidly, that's to have a 66% chance to remain below 2 degrees."
The researchers say that existing reserves of oil, gas and coal exceed the 2 degrees target. Prof Le Quere says that this message has not been understood by politicians.
"We have not accepted that we will not be able to burn all this fuel, the scale of action that is required has not sunk in."
The new research comes as 125 heads of state and government are set to meet at the UN in New York to discuss climate change.
UN Secretary General has asked global leaders to come to the UN next week and to bring commitments with them to tackle the issue.
The meeting is meant to kick start the process to a new global deal that will be agreed in Paris at the end of 2015. According to the scientists, the politicians have a long way to go, if they are to prevent the world breaching the 2 degree target.
"China and India are doing exactly the same as other countries," said Prof Le Quere.
"I really think we need to show leadership in the way we use energy in rich countries so that others can follow different pathways to development. At the moment we don't see any countries that have that leadership."
Details of the studies dealing with the Global Carbon Project have been published in the journals, Nature Climate change, and Nature Geoscience.

Jermain Defoe's stunning first-half volley gave Sunderland a fifth successive derby win over Newcastle to ease their relegation fears.

Defoe, 32, met a Steven Fletcher header to thump a looping shot into the top corner from 22 yards as Sunderland won for the first time in nine games.
His third goal for the club gave recently appointed boss Dick Advocaat a first win as Sunderland moved to 15th.
Newcastle rarely threatened as they slumped to a fourth straight loss.
Newcastle's recent record in the derby is nothing short of disastrous and their latest defeat will have done nothing to enhance caretaker-manager John Carver's seemingly slim prospects of getting the job on a permanent basis.
Carver, a Geordie, had promised no lack of effort and enthusiasm from his side in their effort to avoid a winless run in the fixture now extending back seven matches to August 2011.
But that was about all they did produce, not having a shot on target until the 78th minute as Advocaat was allowed to make the perfect start at the Stadium of Light.

Like his two predecessors - Gus Poyet and Paolo Di Canio - the Dutchman was able to celebrate a win over Newcastle in his second match in charge.
The contrast from Sunderland's last home game could hardly have been greater when a 4-0 defeat by Aston Villa cost Poyet his job.
Advocaat has been appointed until the end of the season with a brief to lead the Black Cats to safety and their supporters, who had walked out in droves in Poyet's final match as manager, will now believe they can do it after they moved three points clear of the relegation places.

Defoe's goal - his second at the Stadium of Light since the former England striker signed for Sunderland from Toronto FC in January - gave the Black Cats only their second win in 14 Premier League wins since they won at St James' Park just before Christmas.
His sublime effort was Sunderland's second goal in seven league games and reduced the striker to tears as the emotion and importance of the moment hit home.
The goal lit up an otherwise uninspired first half in which Defoe had failed to make the most of an earlier opportunity set up by Fletcher and Connor Wickham sent a deflected header against the outside of a post.
But Sunderland deserved their win which could have been more emphatic had they pressed home their superiority after the break.
The tireless Fletcher fluffed a chance to volley home Jordi Gomez's cross and then shot over.
Patrick van Aanholt also sliced a shot wide and Seb Larsson curled a free-kick past the post before picking up a 10th yellow card of the season to earn a two-match ban.
Newcastle finally tested goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon through Remy Cabella's shot on the turn but saw their last chance of an equaliser disappear three minutes from time when Ayoze Perez volleyed over from a corner.


A man whose house was raided and a number of World War One and Two artefacts and munitions seized has been charged with 14 firearms offences.

Alan Tissington, 49, from Windmill Avenue in St Albans was arrested on 17 September last year, following the police operation.
Bomb disposal teams were called to the scene and nearby homes evacuated after police found the cache of weapons.
Mr Tissington has been bailed and will appear before magistrates next month.
He has been charged with four counts of possessing a firearm without a certificate, one of possessing a shotgun without a certificate and nine counts involving ammunition.

A mixture of ash and concrete will be put into the 40m (130ft) deep chasm outside The Laurels, in Oakamoor, in April.
The business had already been forced to close after cracks appeared in the property and the car park.
As BBC Midlands Today's David Gregory-Kumar reports, the work forms part of a Â£2m scheme to stabilise the whole area.


A man who set fire to a derelict holiday park "for fun" has been sentenced.

The blaze at the former Pontins resort at Brixham destroyed the 42-acre site in June 2014.
Rick Edwards, of Higher Green, South Brent, was given a 12-month jail term suspended for two years at Exeter Crown Court.
The 20-year-old was also given a year's supervision order to prevent further offending.
Prosecutor Gordon Richings said Edwards had lit a small piece of wallpaper and the flames had rapidly got out of control. He admitted in interview he started the blaze "for fun".
"A report on the fire indicated the arcade area had been completely demolished and the pool area and former ballroom were also damaged," he said.
Kevin Hopper, for the defendant, said his client had never intended to cause such a serious incident.
Mr Richings said the fire increased the final cost of demolition because it made it more difficult to isolate and remove asbestos.


Police are investigating a spate of thefts on the Wickerman Festival site which were carried out while tent owners were sleeping.

In total 14 tents were targeted, with cash, mobile phones, electrical items and credit cards stolen.
The incidents took place in the Green Camping Area of the Dundrennan site in the early hours of Sunday.
Police are keen to hear from anyone who may have seen or heard anything suspicious in the area at the time.
However, they praised the public in general for their good behaviour during the event.
Police said said there were "only a few matters of minor disorder" reported and no cases of serious disorder or violence.
There were 46 cases of drug possession and two cases relating to drug supply detected.
Insp Stuart Davidson said:  "We want to thank those who attended the festival for their generally good behaviour, and co-operation with the police and other agencies involved in the security and wellbeing of all those on site over the weekend.
"We have developed good working relationships with the organisers over the years and this experience helped towards a professionally-run event.
"I would also acknowledge the excellent standard of the security and stewards who assisted us over the weekend."


Sylvie Guillem's latest appearance on the London stage has been applauded by the critics, one of whom said the 46-year-old was "still one of the most astonishing dancers on stage today".

"The intelligence of her dancing burns even brighter," wrote the Guardian's Judith Mackrell in a four-star review.
"The flair and virtuosity of her dancing stops you in your tracks," agreed the Standard's Sarah Frater.
The French star is appearing in 6000 Miles Away at London's Sadler's Wells.
Running until 9 July, the evening sees her perform a duet with Nicolas Le Riche, before dancing solo in a piece choreographed by Sweden's Mats Ek.
According to the Arts desk, the result proved her to be "as swift as mercury, as exact as a feather, as light as the sun and as eternal in intelligent beauty as Nefertiti".
"This great ballerina of our era is both inexplicable and unbelievable, in physique and in temperament," continued Ismene Brown.
Formerly with the Paris Opera Ballet and the Royal Ballet in London, Guillem now devotes her energies to contemporary dance.
The title of her show refers to Japan, with proceeds from Thursday's performance going to the Japan Tsunami Appeal managed by the British Red Cross.


Maintaining London's access to skilled EU workers after Brexit is "vital" for the capital's future prosperity, a report has found.

Authors London First said business leaders were worried any restriction on skilled migration would "impede London's ability to attract talent".
The organisation said leaving the EU also presented new opportunities to the city but other investment was required.
Theresa May has not confirmed her plans for freedom of movement after Brexit.
But she has previously promised to secure a settlement that "addresses the concerns of the British people about free movement".
London First describes itself as a non-profit organisation with a mission "to make London the best city in the world to do business".
The paper, which is based upon talks with business leaders, found that leaving the EU will present "challenges" and "opportunities" to the capital to keep it competitive on the world stage.
In the report, London First said the city had "one of the greatest concentrations of talent and skills in the world" and future policies should attempt to maintain this.
Suggestions made by the organisation to achieve this include:
The report did find that leaving the EU could provide access to new markets and sources of investment for businesses in the city.
But the authors said "challenges" created by economic growth would have to be addressed to keep the city "open for business".
These included better transport infrastructure, improved skills training in the capital and the faster delivery of new housing.
The report adds that improving cooperation with other UK cities will also help London "drive growth across the country".


Comedian Stephen Merchant is to host a one-off celebrity revival of 1990s game show The Crystal Maze for charity.

The special comeback will be part of Channel 4's Stand Up To Cancer charity fundraising campaign in October.
Former Doctor Who actor David Tennant had been rumoured as a potential host before Merchant was confirmed.
The cult show originally ran from 1990-95 and was first hosted by Rocky Horror Show creator Richard O'Brien and then Ed Tudor-Pole in its last two years.
Merchant is best known for writing and acting with Ricky Gervais on TV comedies The Office, Extras and Life's Too Short.
He said: "As a huge fan of the original series, I'm honoured to support Stand Up To Cancer by hosting this one-off edition of The Crystal Maze.
"Richard O'Brien and Ed Tudor-Pole leave big shoes to fill, but I have size 14 feet, so I'll do my best."
The Crystal Maze saw members of the public tackle a range of physical, mental, skill and mystery timed challenges across four themed zones.
The format was recently revived as an immersive live experience in London thanks to a crowdfunded project.
The celebrity contestants for the new TV incarnation are yet to be revealed.

Boris Johnson has said he does not believe the Irish border would be affected if the UK left the European Union.

The mayor of London was in Northern Ireland on Monday just 48 hours after Prime Minister David Cameron's visit.
Mr Johnson announced a £62m order for County Antrim firm Wrightbus.
However, ahead of June's EU referendum he has discussed why he thinks the UK would be better off outside the European Union.
He told the BBC a Brexit would leave arrangements on the Irish border "absolutely unchanged".
"There's been a free travel area between the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland for, I think, getting on for 100 years," he said.
"There's no reason at all why that should cease to be the case."
Northern Ireland farming relies heavily on EU subsidies, but Mr Johnson said NI farmers would be no worse off outside the EU and "in many ways better off".
"You would be able to target the subsidy and we'd be getting money back from the EU that currently goes to Brussels and goes on heaven knows what," he said.
"We lose about £8.5bn to £9bn per year and we never see it again."
He said he was taking a different position on the EU from Mr Cameron, because he did not think the prime minister had secured the reform that was needed.
"I think that there is every chance that the people will see that this is really their chance to get power back from Brussels," he said.
"Time for freedom folks is what I would say."
On Saturday the prime minister visited two businesses in County Antrim and urged Northern Ireland voters to stay in the EU.
"I would say it comes down to a very simple argument, which is do we want a greater United Kingdom inside the European Union with the safety, the strength and the prosperity?" he said.
"Or do we want a great leap in the dark?"


The campaign for the assembly's fifth election finally gets underway, although politics in Cardiff Bay has had a pre-election feel for a while now.
Much of the style of campaigning and events will have a familiar ring to them but this time around there will be fundamental differences.
For a start, all of the parties will be battling to get their voices heard against a noisy backdrop of the EU referendum campaign.
Then there is the UKIP factor - the party has a realistic chance of winning a number of seats for the first time and, in so doing, changing the dynamic of politics at the assembly.
All of the parties have problems to overcome.
Labour have the triple-whammy of criticism over their handling of the NHS, appearing fresh after 17 years in power and the unknown impact of their UK leader Jeremy Corbyn in marginal seats where they are up against the Conservatives.
And on the subject of disappointing elections, the Liberal Democrats have to try to bounce back from their crushing result last year.
The Tories have the job of ensuring divisions over the EU referendum do not derail attempts to maintain the party's momentum in Wales, after some eye-catching victories in the general election.
Plaid Cymru has to create some kind of electoral momentum after a number of disappointing election results.
UKIP clearly has a major opportunity to return a handful of AMs, which would give them a power base they've lacked in any political institution in the UK so far, but they have been dogged by serious internal divisions.
An incoming Welsh Government will, in time, have more powers than any previous administration, but expect the campaign to be dominated by the NHS, which has been devolved since 1999.
The policy-makers will all have to wrestle with helping a health service under enormous financial pressure, while at the same time maintaining support in areas such as schools and the economy.
There are plenty of policies where there is broad consensus among the parties, such as the need for apprentices and business rate relief for small firms, but there are a number of highly-divisive issues, including plans for an M4 relief road and council reorganisation, where voters are facing genuine choices.
The jury is out on what will happen to turnout, which last time was 42%.
The danger is that assembly politics will be drowned out by the EU referendum, but at the same time media interest surrounding the NHS, in particular over the past five years, will also have raised the profile of devolution in the minds of the public.


The Kansas City Chiefs cruised to a 45-10 win against the Detroit Lions in front of a sell-out crowd at Wembley.

The Chiefs scored 38 unanswered points on the way to recording their biggest win of the season despite falling behind on the opening play.
Quarterback Alex Smith threw two touchdown passes and went over with a rushing touchdown of his own.

The Chiefs equalled the New England Patriots for the most NFL points scored at Wembley.
The Patriots beat St Louis Rams 45-7 at Wembley in 2012.
This was the third and final instalment of NFL matches at Wembley in 2015. In the two previous games in October, the New York Jets beat the Miami Dolphins 27-14 and the Jacksonville Jaguars beat the Buffalo Bills 34-31.
The Lions now have just one win in eight games after making the play-offs last season, while the Chiefs have now put together back-to-back wins after losing five in a row.
Chiefs quarterback Smith said: "It was about putting four quarters together and we did that today. I was especially pleased with the second half when we stayed focused despite having a big lead.
"We had dug a little hole for ourselves earlier in the season, but the last two weeks have been good for us. We now have the second half of the season to look forward to."
The Lions arrived in London several days ahead of the Chiefs in a bid to get an edge, and it appeared to have paid off when Matt Prater kicked a 35-yard field goal on their opening drive.
The Chiefs responded immediately and De'Anthony Thomas set the tone for the rest of the afternoon when he went over for a 10-yard touchdown.
Smith had a field day in front of 83,624 fans, picking holes in the Lions defence and after a career-longest 49-yard run he followed up on the next play with a 12-yard touchdown.
Smith's opposite number, Matthew Stafford, then threw two interception passes, resulting in a Cairo Santos field goal and a Charcandrick West touchdown.
Trailing 24-3 at the break, the Lions needed an immediate response, but it was normal service resumed as Smith picked out Travis Kelce in the end zone to extend the Chiefs' lead.
The Chiefs were in no mood to ease off and Jeremy Maclin became the fifth Chiefs player to go over after missing last week's win against Pittsburgh with concussion.
Stafford offered the Lions some hope when he threw for Lance Moore to roll into the end zone for his third touchdown of the season, but Spencer Ware, with his first NFL touchdown, restored the Chiefs' 35-point cushion.


Australia's Sarah Roy sprinted to victory in stage four of the Women's Tour in Chesterfield.

The Orica rider eased past Luxembourg's Christine Majerus in the last 100m after the pair had moved clear of the peloton midway through the 123km stage.
Britain's Hannah Barnes was fifth, with Dani King in 13th.
Poland's Katarzyna Niewiadoma finished in the main group and takes a lead of one minute 25 seconds over Majerus into Sunday's final stage in London.
Britain's Katie Archibald, who had been eighth before the start of the stage, suffered a fall less than 10km from the end of the race and dropped to 19th overall.
Hannah Barnes is the highest place Briton in the general classification in fifth, 1:41 behind Niewiadoma and a place and five seconds ahead of sister Alice.
King is ninth, while defending champion Lizzie Deignan is in 44th place.
Sunday's stage is a 62km race through London that starts and ends on Regent Street, St James.

An editor with the conservative website Breitbart who was banned from Twitter in a row over racism has defended his right to speak at his former school.

Milo Yiannopoulos has been invited to Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys in Canterbury, Kent, next week.
The National Union of Teachers complained he was guilty of hate speech and should not be given a platform.
Mr Yiannopoulos said people who are offended by his views do not have the right to prevent them being heard.
His account was shut down by Twitter in July for comments directed at Ghostbusters' actress Leslie Jones.
Breitbart News, which has been accused by some as being a hate site, is the most-read conservative news website in the US, and makes no secret of its close links to US President-elect Donald Trump.
Writing on his Facebook page, Mr Yiannopoulos said: "I've been invited back to speak at my old high school, Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys, which once upon a time expelled me for absolutely outrageous behavior (sic).
"The moral of the story is: success trumps everything!"
Christine Dickinson, Kent secretary of the National Union of Teachers, said the invitation was of great concern.
"Anybody that encourages racism, sexism, any other form of inequalities, and is against the British value of tolerance, then I am very worried about them having access to young people," she said.
But Mr Yiannopoulos countered: "Just saying 'I'm offended' isn't an argument.
"For too long you've been able to shut down opposing points of view and the politics of the people you don't like by saying 'I'm offended'.
"Well, that period is over now and the Donald Trump presidency, representing as I think it does an existential threat to political correctness, is a wonderful thing."
In a statement, Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys said it welcomed free speech and open debate.
"He was invited by the Langton Liberal Arts Society to give a talk on politics, the alt-right and the recent US election," the statement said.
"The Langton does not practise censorship... we trust that our students will be able to use their reason to assail bad arguments and applaud sound ones."


Often the simplest questions are the hardest to answer.

As we reported yesterday, the troubles of the inquiry into historical child abuse continue to unravel.
But the departure of the inquiry head, Dame Lowell Goddard, potentially could cause the prime minister herself a significant political headache.
During Prime Minister's Questions today Theresa May was asked the question - what did she know, and when, about the problems at the inquiry? The prime minister's answer implied that she had known something was up.
She said: "There were stories around about the inquiry and about individuals related to the inquiry but the home secretary cannot intervene on the basis of suspicion, rumour or hearsay."
A conversation in April involving a Home Office official "was asked to be confidential and as far I am aware it was treated as such", she said.
"I think it is important for us to recognise that when the Home Office was officially informed of issues, the Home Office acted."
It seemed that Theresa May all but admitted that she had been aware of problems in the spring but then nothing happened. That's already prompted accusations of a "cover-up" and demands for her to "come clean" on exactly what she knew.
Her officials this afternoon have just confirmed that she did know of "tensions" between the inquiry chair and members of the panel, "some weeks" before there was an official alert, at the end of July.
That confirmation begs more questions though, that Number 10 is not ready to answer. Who told Theresa May that there were problems afoot? And what precisely was she told? We don't know. And Downing Street won't say.
But her opponents are likely to point out that Theresa May heard of those "tensions" around the time that she was launching her bid to become PM.
The inquiry's problems could still end up at Number 10's door. That's because the troubled birth of this sensitive and politically charged investigation was under Theresa May's tenure at the Home Office where she was in charge for six years.
Her team point out that the independence of the inquiry had to be protected then, and must still be now. It is not for ministers, whether Theresa May at that point, or Amber Rudd now, to stick their noses in.
But just as politicians like to associate themselves with the success of projects they began, so too they struggle to dissociate themselves from their failure.
There is no suggestion at this stage that any minister, let alone Theresa May, was involved in trying to hide what was going on, but the prime minister may even be called by MPs who want to press her publicly on exactly what she did know.


The former chief executive of Chesapeake Energy was killed in a car crash on Wednesday, a day after he was accused of fixing bids for oil and gas leases.

Police reported Aubrey McClendon, 56, was the only person in the vehicle when it smashed into a concrete pillar.
He was charged on Tuesday with conspiring with two energy companies to rig the price of oil and gas contracts.
Mr McClendon, who stepped down from Chesapeake in 2013, denied the charges.
In a statement on Tuesday, he said: "Anyone who knows me, my business record and the industry in which I have worked for 35 years, knows that I could not be guilty of violating any antitrust laws."
Police are still investigating the cause of the accident, but said the car was so badly burnt it was difficult to tell if Mr McClendon had been wearing a seatbelt.
A spokesperson for Oklahoma City police said the former energy boss "drove straight into the wall".
On Tuesday, the Department of Justice accused Mr McClendon of having been involved in an anti-trust scheme between 2007 and 2012.
The scheme involved two companies - which the Justice Department did not name - deciding who would have the winning bid for oil and gas leases ahead of the offer and then splitting the contract after it was awarded.
Mr McClendon stepped down as the head of Chesapeake Energy in 2013 amid concerns about his heavy spending and its corporate governance. He was considered to be one of the fathers of the US fracking industry.
He went on to found American Energy Partners and was was also a co-owner of US basketball team the Oklahoma City Thunder.


ScotRail is to stop late running trains from skipping stops to improve punctuality during rush hour.

The company said the practice, which sees certain trains given the green light to miss out stops, was being curtailed due to "customer feedback".
Trains will now stop at all scheduled stops between the hours of 08:00-09:00 and 17:00-18:00.
ScotRail said that out of 59,000 trains that ran over a four-week period, stop skipping only affected 222 trains.
Consumer group Transport Focus said passengers had the right to expect the destination that appeared on their ticket was the one they would be taken to.
Spokesman Robert Samson said: "What would make the problem better is that if the infrastructure in the system improved to such a level that stop skipping was not part of the solution.
"Just now, performance is hovering just below the 90% mark. We want to see that performance improve and that involves cutting down on signalling or other infrastructure issues."
The news comes after the ScotRail Alliance franchise, operated by Dutch firm Abellio, was severely criticised for delayed, cancelled and over-crowded services.
A ScotRail Alliance spokesman said the number of services affected by stop skipping was "miniscule".
He added: "In a tiny number of occasions each month we have to take action to recover the service after some kind of incident.
"Late trains have a knock-on effect on other services behind them, so taking action to get everything back on time is important. If we don't, then disruption affects more and more people.
"What we have decided to do is to make sure that we protect the services that carry the most number of people.
"These are the busy commuter routes that operate during the peak."
The spokesman said that action to correct late-running trains would now take place outwith peak hours.
He said that the chance of large scale disruption as a result was "minimal".
Scottish Labour's transport spokesman Neil Bibby said: "There is nothing more frustrating for passengers than paying over the odds for tickets on overcrowded trains that are often late running, only for the train to fly by their stop. Hundreds of trains have been missing stops and thousands of passengers have been affected.
"Passengers want to see improvements across the board and this pledge cannot be an excuse for failure if ScotRail does not hit its key performance targets again."


The future of several hundred people who entered Europe during the migrant crisis of 2015-16 could be decided by a key ruling on Wednesday.

At the heart of the case is whether the EU's laws on claiming asylum, known as the Dublin regulation, applied during those exceptional circumstances.
Refugees typically have to seek asylum in the first EU state they reach.
The EU's top court will decide whether Austria and Slovenia were wrong to send asylum seekers back to Croatia.
The case could have wider repercussions for the EU.
The crisis unfolded during the summer of 2015, as one million migrants and refugees travelled through the Western Balkans. Germany suspended the Dublin regulation for Syrian refugees, halting deportations to the countries they arrived in.
From August 2015, hundreds - and sometimes thousands - arrived in Austria every day, initially via Hungary and later through Slovenia.
Many wanted to travel on to Germany, but around 90,000 applied for asylum in Austria, about 1% of its population.
Among them were two sisters from Afghanistan, Khadija and Zainab Jafari and their children, who arrived at the Austrian border in February 2016.
According to Stephan Klammer, a lawyer from the Diakonie charity, "they came through the organised transports from the Austrian and other governments".
"They came from Macedonia in a few days directly to Austria. At the Austrian border the Jafari sisters were allowed in because they said they wanted to go to Austria and ask for asylum," he said.
But unlike many other Afghans, they were not granted asylum.
The Austrian authorities eventually decided that they should be deported back to Croatia, their point of entry to the EU, under the Dublin regulation.
Mr Klammer said no official figures had been released but he estimated that several hundred other asylum seekers were also pushed back to Croatia.
First there was a real welcome feeling in Austria, but the situation changed. Pressure grew, so the authorities thought about how they could handle the number of asylum procedures"
"In some cases, the authorities said 'We are not responsible because of the Dublin procedure, Croatia is responsible'. So the Jafaris got this decision."
So was Austria right to send them back in a situation when the borders had been opened?
The interior ministry in Vienna declined BBC requests for comment.
The Jafari sisters' case was taken to the European Court of Justice (ECJ), along with a similar incident in Slovenia.
Stephan Klammer said the ruling was likely to affect several hundred other asylum seekers deported to Croatia.
One of them is Farzad Mohammadi from Afghanistan, who came to Austria in February 2016 when he was 17 years old. He described how he started learning German, but he was deported back to Croatia last November.
"It was very difficult. I had tried so hard. I was in a choir, I played football, I was doing a German course, I did everything I could, but they said that is the law - you have to go," he told the BBC.
"Croatia was very bad, worse than Austria. We only had a thin blanket, there were problems with the heating. The toilets were dirty. Very very difficult."
Like the Jafari sisters, he is waiting for the result of the European Court to see if he will be allowed to stay in Austria.
Lawyers say that is looking more likely.
In an opinion published last month, an adviser to the court, Advocate General Eleanor Sharpston said the Dublin regulation "was simply not designed to cover such exceptional circumstances" as the migrant crisis.
"If border member states, such as Croatia, are deemed to be responsible for accepting and processing exceptionally high numbers of asylum seekers, there is a real risk that they will simply be unable to cope with the situation," she said.
Stephan Klammer believes that if the court agrees with that opinion, the ruling could have implications for other countries facing mass arrivals in future, like Italy.
But others like Amanda Taylor from the European Council on Refugees and Exiles are not so sure.
"[The Advocate General's] opinion is very much restricted to a specific period of time, so in terms of this judgement having a bigger impact, I'm not so sure we can say that.
"I think in terms of the current political situation, we are seeing quite the opposite. It's very much a case of member states now putting up their borders and restricting any movement to other EU member states."
Farzad Mohammadi, who is now back in Austria pending the court decision, said he hoped he would be able to stay.
"I thought I would never get back. When I did I was so happy.  I can't describe the feeling. Austria is better for me. Thank God I am in Austria."
A note on terminology: The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum. This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria, who are likely to be granted refugee status, as well as people who are seeking jobs and better lives, who governments are likely to rule are economic migrants.


Nadir Ciftci aims to show manager Brendan Rodgers that he has a long-term future with Celtic.

Ciftci scored in Rodgers' first pre-season friendly match, a 2-2 draw with Celje in Slovenia on Thursday.
The 24-year-old striker spent the second half of last season on loan at Turkish side Eskisehirspor.
"It's good to be back and I'm very happy to work with a big manager like this again and hopefully be part of things for the future," he said.
The Scottish champions paid Dundee United £1.5m to sign Ciftci last summer.
He scored four goals in 12 games before switching to Eskisehirspor in January, netting another four goals in the Turkish top flight.
Rodgers has allowed fellow strikers Colin Kazim-Richards, Carlton Cole, Anthony Stokes and Stefan Scepovic to move on but Ciftci, who has three years to run on his contract, has been offered the chance to prove himself.
"It's been almost two weeks that we've been working and it's been very good with the new manager," he told Celtic TV.
"Everything's new and it's been very positive on the training ground and we worked hard in the game as well."
Rodgers changed all 11 players at half-time against Celje, with Stuart Armstrong setting up the goals for Ciftci and Tom Rogic in the second 45 minutes.
"It's always good to get a goal but the most important thing is to get the fitness back, to do the right things that the manager asks on the pitch," added Ciftci.
"To get a goal was great but we were 2-0 down at the time and it was a really good attitude from the boys to get back to 2-2."
Rodgers was impressed by the Turk, describing the striker's performance as "excellent".
"I thought he held the ball up really well, he pressed the ball and we ask our strikers to have that ability to press the game and the goalkeeper and I thought he was very good," he said.
"He brought others in and obviously it was good positioning to score his goal."


The Hatton Garden raiders were dubbed "Dad's Army" on account of their advanced age and many had extensive criminal records going back decades.

BBC News takes a look at the men behind the audacious plot to steal precious metals, cash and jewels worth more than £14m.
Date of Birth: 28.02.1939
Address: Dartford Road, Dartford, Kent
Plea: Admitted conspiracy to burgle
Reader, a career criminal known as "The Master" and "The Governor" by his fellow gang members, had stood trial in the 1980s accused of murdering a police officer.
He was chosen to mastermind the Hatton Garden raid due to his involvement in the notorious Brinks Mat robbery of 1983.
During that raid, gold bullion and diamonds worth £26m (about £78m in today's values) were taken from a warehouse near Heathrow Airport in what is still Britain's biggest gold robbery.
Reader - and fellow criminal Kenneth Noye - were suspected of laundering the proceeds and placed under surveillance.
When they found Det Con John Fordham spying on them in the grounds of Noye's home in Kent, Noye stabbed the detective 11 times in the back.
Both men were placed on trial for murder but were acquitted after Noye claimed to have been acting in self defence.
Police had found 11 gold bullion bars at Noye's home though and he and Reader were jailed for eight and 14 years respectively for conspiracy to handle stolen goods. Noye would later reach new levels of infamy for the road rage murder of Stephen Cameron and is currently serving a life sentence.
Reader, who ran a used car dealership, pulled out of the Hatton Garden raid after the failed break-in attempt on the first night when the gang's drill broke. Call data records and police observation showed that he continued to meet up with the other ring leaders following the raid.
The eldest of the group, he used somebody else's Freedom Pass to get a bus to Hatton Garden on the night of the raid.
He was filmed on CCTV in the area wearing a distinctive red scarf later found at his Dartford home, where he was arrested on 19 May.
When they searched his house detectives also found a book on the diamond underworld, a diamond tester, a diamond gauge and diamond magazines.

Plea: Admitted conspiracy to burgle
An experienced criminal with convictions for burglary, attempted robbery and handling stolen goods dating back to 1975, Jones was convicted in 1982 of stealing items worth £92,000 from Ratner's jewellers.
He was also described in court as "eccentric" and "mad". His friend Carl Wood told Woolwich Crown Court: "Danny is a very sensitive guy, a very funny man. Eccentric to extremes, everyone who knew Danny would say he was mad. He would go to bed in his mother's dressing gown with a fez on."
The court heard Jones claimed to have fortune-telling powers, spoke to his dog Rocket as though it was human and was obsessed with the Army and keeping fit, often preferring a sleeping bag on the floor to a bed.
One of the four ringleaders, he was arrested on 19 May along with two other conspirators after dropping off some of the loot at a house in Enfield.
He was caught on CCTV wearing an eccentric outfit during the raid, complete with striped trousers, a hi-vis waistcoat, red trainers and a navy baseball cap.
He, along with mystery man "Basil", actually climbed through the hole that had been bored into the vault.
When his house was searched police found a book called Forensics for Dummies, facemasks and a drill as well as uncounted cash.
While in custody, awaiting trial, Jones claimed he wanted to "come clean" and give back his share of the robbery. To that end he wrote a letter to the media offering to show police where he had hidden it.
But when he was escorted to Edmonton Cemetery, in north London, he only showed them a small portion of his stash and lied under direct questioning when asked if he knew about any more loot buried about 20m (65ft) away, which the police had already found.

Plea: Admitted conspiracy to burgle
Collins was the gang's lookout man and in covert police recordings described how he sat outside on his own all night, while Danny and a mystery burglar called Basil were inside the vault.
He also drove the van to the safe deposit and performed a number of reconnaissance trips to Hatton Garden - but in a covertly recorded conversation, Danny Jones claims that Collins fell asleep on the job.
Collins was described in court as "instrumental in gaining access to the vault", visiting the area many times to assess its weaknesses. He also purchased the extra equipment needed to drill through the wall of the vault.
He was also a ringleader and recruited his nephew William Lincoln as a getaway driver and may have recruited another man, Hugh Doyle, to the criminal enterprise, the court heard.
Collins was arrested shortly after he received the stolen jewels. Police searches of Collins's home in Islington, recovered a large amount of cash, wrist watches, coins, jewellery and a money counter.

Perkins robbed the vaults of Security Express in 1983 - the biggest cash raid in British history. The robbers stole nearly £6m from a depot in Shoreditch, east London, over the Easter weekend. Perkins was convicted and sentenced to 22 years in prison for his part in the heist.
He bragged of having worked with Reader on up to four different jobs over 12 years.
Hatton Garden investigators installed a listening device in his blue Citroen Saxo which recorded him saying he planned to use his share of the spoils to fund his pension. He was arrested with Collins and Jones having dropped off a holdall containing some of the loot.
Perkins celebrated his birthday during the raid and was involved in all stages of the operation, including disposing of the stolen goods.
He was inside the Hatton Garden building posing as a builder and "working" inside the lift on March 31.
When his home was searched police found jewellery, cash, blue workman's overalls and five pairs of white fabric gloves, that ensured the burglars left no forensic trace of themselves at the scene.
D.O.B: unknown
Address: unknown
Little is known about this mystery man who is credited with letting the burglars into the building via a fire exit door.
He was filmed on CCTV, partially obscured by a bag he was carrying on his shoulder. He appeared to have red hair, but this may have been a wig.
Covert police recordings picked up Jones, Perkins and Collins discussing the raid. Jones said Basil had learned in two months knowledge that it had taken Brian Reader 40 years to acquire.
Basil has not been caught.
D.O.B. 15.06.1955
Address: Winkley St, Bethnal Green, east London
Plea: Convicted of conspiracy to commit burglary and conspiracy to conceal, convert or transfer criminal property
Lincoln was the gang's getaway driver. Known as Billy the Fish to friends because he used to visit Billingsgate Fish Market on Fridays, this is where he claimed to be on the morning of the robbery.
He was arrested on 19 May 2015 driving his black Audi A3. The arresting officers found a torn up, handwritten note on the floor beside him. The writing on the note gave the address of the Wheatsheaf pub, where some of the loot was handled.
By his own admission Lincoln was "not the sharpest knife in the drawer".
The defence tried to paint a picture of him as being easily influenced by others and he told the court he never refused anyone anything.
Lincoln knew Collins through Collins's sister, with whom Lincoln was living in Bethnal Green.
He was convicted several years ago of beating a man outside of his house with a chair.
But the trial heard he had several health problems - including severe osteoarthritis - for which he had undergone a double hip replacement.

Doyle was a plumbing engineer whose workshop was based close to the Wheatsheaf pub.
There was no evidence he ever went to Hatton Garden. His role was to provide an exchange point for the final handover of loot outside his business premises. He was arrested in his car on 19 May.
Doyle told jurors he was ignorant of the Hatton Garden plot and was unaware three men he used to meet in Islington once a month for drinks in the 1990s or early 2000s were the ringleaders of the heist.
He said he gave his friend Collins a key to his office because Collins had asked to borrow a van and store some property at his premises in Enfield. He denied being aware there was any connection to the Hatton Garden raid.

Wood, who has Crohn's disease and lives on disability allowance, was anxious about being £8,890 in debt and became involved in the raid for that reason, the Crown said.
He claimed to be supporting his family on the £320 disability allowance he received every fortnight.
Wood pulled out of the heist on the second night when he found the fire escape door was closed. His friend Jones subsequently refused to give him any of the spoils to help clear his debts and no loot was found at his house.
Wood was arrested on 19 May 2015 at his home in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire.


A gang of masked raiders armed with sledgehammers stole more than £300,000 worth of mobile phones by smashing their way into shops, a court heard.

In one burglary, a suspect grabbed a shop worker and told her "babes, put in the code" to get into the store room.
Appearing at St Albans Crown Court, Kurtis Lamptey, 26, Ajay Singh, 25, and Sonny Lockwood, 28, pleaded guilty to carrying out a number of burglaries.
"Leading members" Lamptey and Singh were both jailed for six years.
Lockwood, of Parkside, Halstead in Sevenoaks, was sentenced to five years and four months for four burglaries and the theft of vehicle number plates.
Lamptey, of Swanfield Street and Singh, of Buckhall Crescent both in Hackney, east London, admitted carrying out seven burglaries between November and December last year.
Prosecutor Ann Evans told the court the gang had mostly used sledgehammers to smash into shops but on one occasion had used a stolen BMW to drive through the front of a shop.
Most of the raids happened while the shops were closed, she said, but on two occasions staff had been locked in toilets or made to stand with their hands up.
A total value of £306,632.95 was stolen from shops in Weybridge, Hastings, Tonbridge, Orpington, Guildford, Bishop's Stortford and Galleons Reach, near London City Airport.
Judge Andrew Bright QC told the men: "You were part of a well organised team of burglars targeting phone stores in the south east of England.
"Huge numbers of telephones were stolen, mostly in hours of darkness.
"The offences were well planned. You wore balaclavas, were equipped with sledge hammers and getaway cars."


Police have found a body while searching a property in South Carolina where a missing woman was discovered "chained up like a dog".

A local sheriff said the 100-acre estate was still being searched "to make sure that we don't have a serial killer on our hands."
Registered sex offender Todd Kohlhepp, 45, was arrested on Thursday in connection with the incident.
The woman found went missing in late August this year with her boyfriend.
The body has not been identified, but prosecutor Barry Barnette said the woman saw her captor shoot and kill her boyfriend.
She was found on Thursday after police heard banging noises and screams from inside a metal shipping container in Woodruff, 80 miles northwest of the state capital of Columbia.
It was described by Spartanburg County Sheriff Chuck Wright as "a hellish place to be locked in hot weather. No lights, no windows, no air flow".
The woman, who was described as being "obviously traumatised," was held in the container with a chain around her neck for two months, Mr Wright told reporters.
She told police that four people may be buried on the property's land.
"We're trying to make sure we don't have a serial killer on our hands," Mr Wright said. "It very possibly could be what we have."
He said the woman had worked for Mr Kohlhepp, who was a licensed real estate agent.
Officers had been led to the property thanks to a tip-off by a sex-crime investigator.
Guns and a large amount of ammunition were seized from the property, according to Mr Barnette.
Mr Kohlhepp, who has a previous kidnapping conviction, appeared in court on Friday in Spartanburg on a kidnapping charge.
More charges would be filed, Mr Barnette said.


A further report will be carried out into the financial set up of the Aberdeen International Youth Festival (AIYF).

Auditors PwC found the festival had not been at arm's length and was operating as though part of the council.
A report raised concerns about appropriate controls not being in place over finances.
Councillors have agreed that a further report be prepared into the financial set up of the festival.
The AIYF, which has been running for more than 40 years, attracts thousands of young people from all over the world.


Driving small vans and trucks groaning under the weight of animals, Kashgar's farmers gather at the city's weekly livestock market as they have done for centuries.

Hundreds of sheep, cows and donkeys are corralled or tethered to metal bars where they are inspected by butchers and other prospective buyers.
The sound of bleating and neighing competes against intense haggling over the final price.
Kashgar remains a city where trading is very much in the blood.
It stands on the Silk Road - the trade route of ancient times stretching from the eastern Chinese city of Xian to the eastern shores of the Mediterranean.
With the advent of major shipping lanes, however, the overland routes fell out of use and Kashgar became something of a backwater.
But now Kashgar is experiencing its biggest economic boom in living memory.
Beijing is pouring billions of dollars into a city which it designated as a special economic zone back in 2010 - one of only half a dozen such zones in the country.
The authorities want to transform Kashgar into the transport hub of old - opening up markets in Central Asia and beyond.
"The opportunities here are priceless," says Zhang Yunjian, a spokesman for Gangzhou New City project in Kashgar. "That's why you see so many investors coming to the city to start businesses."
Currently the largest construction project underway in Kashgar, the development is will house 100,000 people and have a shopping complex along with recreational facilities.
"I believe that Kashgar could one day catch up and even surpass the development we see in other Chinese cities," says Zhang Yunjian.
Beijing believes that economic development will help ease ethnic tensions not only in Kashgar but across the remote western Chinese region of Xinjiang - one of the poorest parts in the country.
Xinjiang is home to approximately nine million Uighurs, a Turkic ethnic minority.
The Chinese authorities frequently accuse Uighurs of fomenting unrest - and some activists do want their own independent state.
In 2009, the region witnessed an explosion of ethnic violence partly fuelled by economic grievances.
In the capital, Urumqi, Uighurs clashed with Han Chinese - the majority ethnic group in China. Almost 200 people were killed.
All the development is changing the face of Kashgar and not just in terms of construction.
Source: Kashgar City Government website
A decade ago the city was almost entirely Uighur but now a third of the population is Han Chinese, according to local officials.
This migration is creating a fresh set of tensions. Many Uighurs complain that they are not sharing in the economic boom. They say that most of the profits are going to Han Chinese entrepreneurs.
"We aren't really seeing any benefit from all the construction," said one Uighur, whose family have made traditional musical instruments for generations.
"Why else would they (Han Chinese) travel thousands of kilometres if they weren't profiting?"
Evidence of the tensions in Kashgar is everywhere. A fire engine sits outside the city's biggest mosque equipped with a water cannon ready to disperse any angry crowd.
In Kashgar's main square, under the watchful gaze of a six-storey-high statue of Chairman Mao, there are dozens of armed police, armoured personnel carriers, along with military trucks and vans.
Check-points ring the city where Uighurs have to get out of their vehicles to show their identity cards and sometimes be frisked.
Han Chinese tourists visiting the city travel with police escorts. Armed guards are posted at their hotels.
One Han Chinese entrepreneur in the city to scout out opportunities said he felt safe "because they are so many police on the streets."
Uighurs have long complained about repression under China's rule.
In July, marking the third anniversary of the riots in Urumqi, the London-based rights group Amnesty International issued a statement saying that Chinese authorities "continue to silence those speaking out on abuses" in the region.
Many Uighurs also say that their traditions and culture are under threat.
Nowhere is more apparent than Kashgar's historic old city, which dates back hundreds of years. Built from mud bricks, houses are piled on top of each other along a warren of paved alleyways.
For centuries, the city has stood as a symbol of Uighur identity. But now locals say that more than half of it has already been torn down and thousands of families have already left.
Many Uighurs fear that a huge part of their culture has been lost forever.
The local authorities say that the demolition is necessary because houses may collapse as Xinjiang is an earthquake zone. They are rebuilding chunks of the old city in the traditional style.
But that is of little comfort to Tursun Zunun, 53, a pottery maker in the old city. He says that his house is almost 500 years old.
"Many of my neighbours have already left," he said, sitting out his balcony, which now has a view of the city's new skyline of modern high rise office and apartment blocks.
"By the time my grand-daughter grows up all the old city might be gone."
Kashgar is a city that has long mixed traditions with trade.
But an old way of life is fast disappearing, creating a fresh source of anger among the Uighur community.
The city's economic development may not bring the stability Beijing wants.


A murder probe has been launched after a conman jailed for what was said to be the world's biggest timeshare fraud was shot dead.

John 'Goldfinger' Palmer, 64, was found by his family last Wednesday at a house in Sandpit Lane, South Weald, Essex.
The death was not thought to be suspicious initially, but post-mortem tests found he was shot in the chest.
Police want to speak to anyone who was in the area from 16:00 to 18:00 BST on Wednesday.
"The area is rural but is often used by dog walkers and joggers," said Det Ch Insp  Simon Werrett, of Essex police.
"Officers are at the scene making inquiries and I would urge anyone with information, no matter how small, to come forward."
Palmer was jailed for eight years in 2001 for masterminding a timeshare fraud targeting people across the UK.
A year later, he was ordered to hand over Â£35m, but the ruling was overturned on a technicality.
His wealth was once estimated at Â£300m, according to an Underworld Rich List compiled for the BBC in 2004.
Palmer had owned helicopters, a French chateau and a Â£1m mansion in Bath, and was once considered one of the biggest landowners on Tenerife.
He was acquitted of handling gold from the 1983 Brinks Mat robbery at Heathrow airport.


US drinks giant Coca-Cola has reported a rise in profit after raising prices in North America.

Earnings rose 20% to $3.1bn (£2bn) in the second quarter, compared to a year ago, with the price rise offsetting the effect of a stronger dollar, which eats into overseas revenue.
The world's largest beverage maker gets more than 40% of its sales from international markets.
Total revenue fell more than 3% to $12.16bn in the three months to 3 July.
"Our second quarter results were in line with our expectations and mark continued progress toward restoring momentum in our global business," said chief executive Muhtar Kent in a statement on Wednesday.
However, he warned that fluctuations in exchange rates would continue to have an "unfavourable" effect on its results this year.
The US dollar has risen more than 8% against a basket of major currencies so far this year.
The Coca-Cola Zero brand saw growth of 6% in the quarter, compared with 1% for the Coca-Cola brand, 3% for Sprite and 2% for Fanta.
"Growth in these brands was partially offset by a 7% decline in Diet Coke," the company said.
The drinks maker has been struggling to grow as health conscious consumers continue to turn away from carbonated soft drinks.


Four unarmed guards manned the Tunisian hotel where 30 Britons were killed in 2015 despite the resort being a known terror risk, an inquest has heard.

Former manager Mehrez Saadi told the inquests into the British deaths that gardeners had briefly doubled as security guards the previous year.
Islamist gunman Seifeddine Rezgui killed 38 people in total at the five-star Riu Imperial Marhaba, near Sousse.
The attack was the deadliest on Britons since the 7 July 2005 London bombings.
UK officials had also been told of security concerns in Sousse six months before the attack in June 2015, but decided against discouraging all travel to Tunisia, the inquests heard.
The inquests, being held at London's Royal Courts of Justice, heard a report by a UK embassy official in January that said there was "little in the way of effective security" to protect an attack from the beach.
In a statement, Mr Saadi also revealed just four unarmed, untrained security guards were protecting the 631 guests and the CCTV camera at the front entrance was not working on the day of the attack.
However, he said the hotel had purchased metal detectors detectors to check people entering the hotel and mirrors to check under vehicles.
Andrew Ritchie QC, who represents 20 of the victims' families, quoted from the heavily-redacted report into the security of about 30 hotels, including the Riu Imperial Marhaba, in three neighbouring Mediterranean resorts on the Tunisian coast.
He said the report had paid particular attention to beach access points after an attack on the Riadh Palms Hotel in Sousse October 2013 was launched from the beach.
Rezgui was shot dead by police about an hour after the attack began, but Mr Saadi said police were slow to respond when he called them to report what was happening.
"Security services did nothing to stop the attack during the whole time," he said. "I didn't understand why."
The government's travel advice website had warned in June 2015 that there was a "high risk of terrorism" in Tunisia, but stopped short of telling tourists not to visit.
This was despite an attack on the Bardo Museum in the country's capital, Tunis, four months earlier, in which 24 people were killed, including 20 tourists.
In a YouTube video from December 2014 mentioned in the report, extremists linked to the self-styled Islamic State group also warned they would target tourists in the area.
Jane Marriott, the Foreign Office's Middle East and North Africa director at the time of the Sousse attack, told the inquests there had been "little public desire for a more intrusive police presence in Tunisia", which had been a dictatorship before the Arab Spring revolution in 2010.
She added: "This made it difficult for the authorities to be proactive with security."
The inquest was shown an extract from minutes of a meeting between UK embassy officials and tour operators in Tunisia shortly after the Bardo attack.
It said: "Following the incident, the knee-jerk reaction was to pull British tourists out of Tunisia.
"Embassy staff... lobbied hard to retain the tourists here in Tunisia, but agreed to strengthen the text of the travel advice to reflect the severity of the incident."
Ms Marriott also told the court that Hamish Cowell, the UK ambassador to Tunisia from 2013 until December last year, had taken his family to Sousse on holiday in May - two months after the Bardo attack and less than two months before the beach shootings.
The court also heard from survivor Paul Thompson, who had been advised by his travel agent TUI that it was "100% safe" to go to Sousse.
Mr Thompson had gone to a shop in his home town of Ilkeston, Derbyshire, in May 2015 with his daughter, where he was told that the Bardo attack had been a "one-off", Mr Ritchie told the inquest.
Over the next seven weeks, the inquest will examine whether the UK government and travel firms failed in their responsibility to protect British tourists.
The government has applied for some details to be kept private because of national security concerns.


Ken Livingstone has said he is "beginning to think" Labour will not expel him for controversial comments he made about Hitler and a Jewish state.

He has appeared before a disciplinary hearing after claiming the Nazi leader supported Zionism in the 1930s.
The two-day misconduct panel is due to deliver a ruling on Tuesday.
The former London mayor has defended his remarks, saying there had been "real collaboration" between Nazis and Zionists before World War Two.
But he said claims he had said Hitler was a Zionist were "fake news".
The Holocaust Educational Trust said Mr Livingstone was "promoting a misleading and misinformed version of history to further his agenda".
He faces a charge of engaging in conduct that was grossly detrimental to the party.
During an interval in Friday's session, Mr Livingstone said the case against him was "weak" and suggested many of the allegations, including that he was an anti-Semite, had since been "retracted".
"For the first time I'm beginning to think I might actually not be expelled," he said.
The row erupted in April 2016, when he was defending Labour MP Naz Shah over accusations she had made anti-Semitic social media posts.
He told BBC London: "When Hitler won his election in 1932, his policy then was that Jews should be moved to Israel. He was supporting Zionism before he went mad and ended up killing six million Jews."
This sparked criticism from historians, Jewish groups and Labour colleagues and he was later confronted outside the BBC's studios by Labour MP John Mann, who accused him in front of TV cameras of being a "Nazi apologist".
Mr Livingstone was suspended from Labour by party leader Jeremy Corbyn.
Following Friday's hearing, Mr Livingstone said it was nonsense to suggest he ever said Hitler was a Zionist.
"They now accept I didn't say it," he said.
"The only issue is, was it right to defend Naz Shah? And I was simply saying Naz Shah isn't anti-Semitic.
"If she was anti-Semitic, they wouldn't have readmitted her to the Labour Party."
He said the hearing was "an amazing debate about the meaning of words. I feel now I could qualify for a degree".
What's the difference between anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism?
In a written submission to his disciplinary hearing, Mr Livingstone accused Labour of pursuing the case against him in a "partisan" way and suggested there was a witch hunt aimed at critics of Israel.
Arriving on the first day of the two-day hearing, he repeated his comment that Hitler had supported Zionism, adding that the Nazi paramilitary SS had set up training camps for German Jews so they "could be trained to cope with the very different sort of country when they got there".
Mr Livingston's original comment was described as inaccurate by Yale University history professor Timothy Snyder in a BBC article in April.
And speaking on the BBC's Daily Politics, Mike Katz, the national vice-chairman of Jewish Labour, said he was repeatedly asked on the doorstep when canvassing in Jewish areas "has Ken been expelled yet?"
But Jonathan Rosenhead, of Free Speech on Israel, said that to say you could not talk about Israel in the same context as Nazism "is to restrict political discussion - we need free speech".


In 1961, Monash University in Melbourne, Australia bought its first computer - the Ferranti.

It had 1K of memory, cost $360,000 (Â£220,000) and was the size of a whole room.

A typical mid-range laptop computer today has 250,000 times the memory, is 4-8 million times faster and costs 1/500th of what the Ferranti cost as a computing platform.
This process, the acceleration of technological capability, is known as Moore's law - and it has meant that since the late 1800s, the rates of technology adoption and diffusion into society have kept getting faster.
While the telephone took approximately 50 years to reach critical mass, television took just half that (about 23-25 years).
Mobile phones and PCs took about 12-14 years (half again), and then the internet took just seven years (half again).
New technologies and initiatives such as the iPod and Facebook are now being adopted by consumers en masse in timescales that are now measured in months, not years.
Apple sold more mobile devices in 2011 alone than all the Mac computers it had ever sold in the 28 years prior.
This was the same year that saw the internet surpass television and newspapers as the primary news source for much of the developed world.
Also in this year, the average time spent daily using mobile phone apps surpassed the time people spent surfing the web on their PC.
All of this technological change has given rise to a new kind of customer. The kind of customers for whom the stuff that bankers consider "new" is in fact just life. It's normal.
Many businesses are now muscling in on territory traditionally held by the banks. Many mobile carriers are providing pre-paid mobile wallets systems - as are stores like Starbucks.
Already 30% of Americans are using pre-paid cards - products that don't need the issuer to have a banking licence.
It means that a new audience of digitally connected people are beginning to decouple in their minds, their day-to-day relationship with their High Street bank.
The oldest surviving bank in the world today is the Monte dei Paschi di Siena, founded in 1472. Its original branch still stands in Siena.
If you were to visit that branch back when it opened the experience would have been very familiar to that of most modern retail banking customers.
A cashier sits behind a small window, a desk to sit and talk to the "banker", a big safe where all the deposits are stored.
This kind of customer experience is a total anathema to the customers of tomorrow.
In Britain, only 30% of people regularly use a branch, and half of this group are small businesses that are still reliant on cash.
With new mobile payments services such as Square (in the US) and the Swedish firm iZettle coming thick and fast, how long will this status quo last?
Even if current trends don't accelerate at all, by 2016 by far the most common interaction that most people will have with their bank will be through their smartphone.
Banking through our desktop computers, or telephones, will still play a major role.
But, in the era of big data and exponential technological progress, can there really still be a role for the 1472 model of banking?
Banks insist that face-to-face advice is still the reason people visit branches.
But the truth is that, with current account margins so razor thin, there is little or no incentive for banks to spend money giving people advice that keeps them out of debt.
Already major payments providers like Visa are pushing Near Field Communications (NFC) payment solutions hard - a raft of contactless payment systems is beginning to hit the market.
The tipping point for these types of payments is fast approaching.
I believe this new kind of technology will pave the way for a new kind of financial advice.
Instead of visiting a branch once every year, spending advice can be pushed through to the payment device itself.
Rather than a "once-a-year financial health check-up", it's far more powerful to tell a customer, as they're about to buy something, what percentage of their monthly income is represented by what they are about to spend their money on.
More importantly, this is the kind of advice that the customers can choose for themselves.
The banks that prosper will be those that have become very, very good at being virtual and digital repositories of their clients' money, allowing access to that money anywhere at any time.
Most of all, however, the successful banks will be those that become great service organisations.
Despite all of the dazzling technological possibilities, there is no silver bullet, no single new technology that will change the face of banking. That will be driven by people.
The banks that succeed in the future will be those that are willing to listen and respond to their customers in a way that no major bank is doing at the moment. In my opinion, that's no bad thing.

Customers of a stationery shop which is due to close in a matter of days have been asked not to "mess up the shelves" or "have a go" at staff.

Blott is due to close its store at the intu Chapelfield shopping centre in Norwich on 1 November.
"Please show respect for the staff still working here," one sign read.
Owner Tinc Limited said it hoped the sign would encourage those who wanted to air their feelings on the closure to contact head office.
Customers said they were disappointed to see the store closing.
Kayley Green, 14, from Norwich, who was shopping with her mother, said the signs should not be necessary.
"You're supposed to respect people anyway," she said.
Wendy Ruffles, from Beccles, Suffolk, said: "You don't know how hard it will be for them to find another job so you should be nice."
The company would not comment on what prompted it to put the sign up.
In a statement, Tinc Limited said the company was "mindful that the passion of our staff for the Blott brand and products is matched only by the passion shown by many of our customers".
"We can only hope that this sign on the front window of our Norwich store will empower people to have the discussion with those of us who had to take this difficult decision, rather than the store colleagues who are also affected by it," it said.
The company, which has seven stores and started trading in 2011, said the Norwich branch was being closed as part of a "repositioning" of its business.


A member of the Ulster Defence Association (UDA) has come forward to speak about how difficult it is to leave the paramilitary organisation.

The man told BBC News NI he cannot get out because of intimidation and threats from those at the top of the UDA.
He also gave an insight into the amount of serious crime the group is involved in, including drugs and extortion.
The UDA man spoke to BBC News NI's Kevin Magee but has not been named in order to protect him from reprisals.
Asked why he cannot just walk away from the illegal loyalist paramilitary organisation, the man said: "It's not as simple as that. That's not the way it works."
He added: "It's hard to explain to people the threat level they have against you and your family. If you walk away, they'll torture the life out of you .
"They will damage your property. They'll attack members of your family, they'll attack you. It's impossible. You just can't get out."
He said there were about 2,000 members of the UDA in the south east Antrim area and that the paramilitary group controls "all the criminal activity" that goes on in the local towns.
"Anybody that deals drugs, must go through the UDA, they must buy them from the UDA," he said.
"If they are not a member of the UDA , then they're taxed - so that they have to pay the UDA a certain percentage of the money that they get from them.
"Any stealing that goes on, if there are any break-ins in businesses or whatever, they take a cut of the money."
He said UDA members do not carry weapons but have them stashed away where they "can get their hands on them within 20 minutes or half an hour".
The member claimed that many of these were guns left over from the "so-called decommissioning" of paramilitary weapons earlier in the peace process.
"The kept all the good weapons," the man said.
"They only destroyed rubbish - rusty ones, ones that had been used on jobs and they bought some newer weapons from drug gangs in Manchester."
Asked why he had changed his mind about being a member of the paramilitary group, the man said: "They're a criminal gang. They have no interest in Ulster or politics or anything else.
"They just want to make money and I'm fed up with it.  They are just gangsters.
"They control an area from Whitewell, right down as far as Larne, that takes in Rathcoole, Monkstown, all of Carrickfergus and Whitehead."
He claimed the UDA controlled "100%" of an illegal drugs network in south east Antrim but said he felt he could not report the crimes he witnessed to the police.
"If you went to do something like that you would be classed as an informer - you would have to leave the country, your life would be in danger.
"That would be the end of your life, living on some Army barracks in England in some safe house. That is no life, and if you left... they would target your family."
Alliance MLA Stewart Dickson said there was what he described as a "distrust of police in many of these communities."
Former Ass Ch Con Alan McQuillan said the claims in the interview did not surprise him in "the slightest".
"They've been doing it for 30 years. But I would argue there isn't a UDA anymore.
"The UDA was an organisation that existed at the start of the Troubles.  It then broke up into criminal gangs.
"When you talk about engaging with the UDA, it's pointless. You're engaging with criminal barons.
"This is confined to, I would guess, about four areas of Northern Ireland: Two or three areas in Belfast, south east Antrim, maybe a little bit in Derry.
"Those are the areas the UDA have any presence. It's not province-wide."
Mr McQuillan said "radical measures" should be considered to tackle the problem.
"We need to consider, when they've living in public housing, moving them out of the area, and banning them from living in the area because of their influence in organised crime groups in that area.
"You can't do this at the moment. "


A health trust that failed to properly investigate hundreds of deaths is to be monitored by an external expert.

Health watchdog Monitor has appointed an "improvement director" to work with Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust.
It comes after an inquiry was ordered in the wake of Connor Sparrowhawk's death while in Southern Health's care.
An emergency board meeting was held on Monday after the inquiry showed the trust failed to investigate his and other deaths.
The trust has apologised for failings and said systems have improved.
Monitor said the trust would now receive "expert support to improve the way it investigates and reports deaths" of people with learning disabilities.
Mazars, an audit firm, published a report on Southern Health in December which said the deaths of mental health and learning-disability patients were not properly examined between April 2011 and March 2015.
It blamed a "failure of leadership" at the foundation trust.
The report was ordered in 2013 after Connor, 18, drowned in a bath following an epileptic seizure while a patient in a Southern Health hospital in Oxford.
An independent inquiry said his death had been preventable, and an inquest jury found neglect by the trust had contributed to his death.
Monitor said when investigating, the trust also failed to engage properly with families.
The foundation trust covers Hampshire, Dorset, Wiltshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire and provides mental health services to about 45,000 people.
Monitor has taken regulatory action and the trust has agreed to implement changes.
Katrina Percy, chief executive of Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust, said: "We have agreed with Monitor that we will take a number of steps to show how we are improving.
"These are implement the recommendations of the Mazars report through a comprehensive action plan, get assurance from independent experts on this action plan and work with an improvement director appointed by Monitor."


Ryanair says it could cut fares by as much as 9% on some routes as competition in the airline industry intensifies in the next few months.

The warning from Europe's largest carrier by passenger numbers follows similar comments about price pressures from Ryanair's rivals in recent weeks.
Competition was growing as airlines switched capacity from Turkey and North Africa, Ryanair said.
Separately, Ryanair said it had made a "non-binding offer" for Alitalia.
On Friday, Italian media reported that about 10 offers had been made for the loss-making airline.
In a statement, Dublin-based Ryanair said it was "important we are involved in the process" given that Alitalia is Italy's largest carrier.
Ryanair's comments came as it reported a 55% rise in pre-tax profits to 397m euros (Â£356m) in the three months to 30 June. Revenues were up 13% to 1.68bn euros.
The average fare during the quarter rose 1% to 40.3 euros, although Ryanair said this was a blip due to the much stronger Easter trading. Easter, a peak-time for holidaymakers, fell in April this year, inside the carrier's reporting period. In 2016, it fell in March.
The airline said it expected fares to fall by 5% in the six months to the end of September and by 8% in the six months to the end of March 2018.
"We expect the pricing environment to remain very competitive" chief executive Michael O'Leary said in a statement. EasyJet and Wizz Air have both said that fares will be under pressure this summer.
The warning sparked a 3.5% fall in Ryanair's share price. EasyJet shares fell 3.4%, while the owner of British Airways, IAG, fell 2.7%.
In a bid to recoup some lost revenues, Ryanair is considering limiting the number of passengers eligible to take a second free carry-on bag. Revenues from people paying to take luggage have fallen at the airline.
Mr O'Leary told analysts that it was possible that only passengers who paid for priority boarding would be eligible. However, he added that no decision had been made.
Ryanair executives also repeated warnings of major flight disruptions between the UK and Europe if Brexit talks fail to agree a bi-lateral deal on flights. The airline has warned it may cancel flights and move operations abroad if there is no agreement well in advance of Brexit.
"We need clarity so that we can plan our schedules for 2019," chief financial officer Neil Sorahan told the BBC.
EasyJet announced last week that it had secured an air operator's certificate in Austria to enable it to keep flying across the EU following Brexit.


Sussex have appointed Keith Greenfield as their new director of cricket.

The 47-year-old, who previously worked in the club's academy system, will oversee all aspects of the professional game at Hove.
"We believe Keith's extensive experience will drive improvements," said chief executive Zac Toumazi.
"His commitment and calm approach makes him the perfect candidate for this role, which will focus on the implementation of the Sussex strategy."
Greenfield, who played 78 first-class and 160 List A matches for Sussex between 1987 and 1999, will be responsible for reviewing the quality of coaching at the club as well as reaching objectives in participation and community cricket.
On-field performances will remain the responsibility of head coach Mark Davis, who will report to Greenfield.
Carl Hopkinson, who has been a coach at the club since retiring in 2009, will now assume the role of academy director while continuing to work with the first team as a specialist fielding coach.
"We are also thrilled to see Carl taking over from Keith to build on the excellent work he has done with the academy," added Toumazi.
"He can now bring his own style and expertise to help develop the next generation of Sussex's players."


A man who raped a woman in her 70s after barging into her south London home has been jailed for 12 years.

Jason Batchelor, 46, of Wallington, attacked her as she made breakfast in her house in Purley on 11 May.
He admitted rape, attempted rape, sexual assault, actual bodily harm and intent to commit a sexual offence at Croydon Crown Court.
Batchelor was given a custodial sentence of 12 years, with an extended licence period of eight years.
The rapist tapped on the pensioner's window at the back of her house and she indicated him to leave her garden, which he did.
But moments later he knocked on the front door and when she answered he forced his way in, police said.
He punched her in the face before raping her and taking her money.
When he was arrested he told police: "I'm sorry, I never done anything like this before, I swear to God I've messed up, I'm sorry."
Previously Det Insp Keith Ward praised the victim's "bravery" through the "horrific ordeal" and the investigation.


BBC Sport's football expert Mark Lawrenson is pitting his wits against a different guest each week this season.

Lawro's opponent for this weekend's Premier League fixtures is Mark Selby, the reigning snooker world champion.
Selby's nickname is the 'Jester from Leicester' and he supports his local team - he is a lifelong Foxes fan.
Selby is currently defending his world title at the Crucible in Sheffield but is also keeping a close eye on Leicester's bid to stay in the top flight.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"We started off the season in fantastic form but then we went on a bit of a bad run," Selby told BBC Sport. "It wasn't as if we were playing that badly, but we were having some bad luck that was costing us results.
"But now we seem to be coming good at the right time and hopefully we have not left it too late.
"Would I rather retain the World Snooker title or see Leicester stay in the Premier League? That's a tough one. I have got to know [Foxes manager] Nigel Pearson quite well over the past year so, as long as he is not listening, I think it would have to be me winning the world title."
You can see all of Mark's predictions on Football Focus at 12:15 BST on BBC One and the BBC Sport website (in the UK).
A correct result (picking a win, draw or defeat) is worth ONE point. The exact score earns THREE points.
Last weekend, Lawro got three correct results from seven Premier League games, with one perfect score.
His score of five points saw him beat WWE wrestling star Wade 'Bad News' Barrett, who picked two results, with no perfect scores. That gave him a total of two points.
Barrett is joint bottom of the guest leaderboard but will have a chance to improve his score on Tuesday when Liverpool travel to Hull for their game which was postponed because the Reds were playing in the FA Cup.
Lawro and Barrett both correctly predicted that Arsenal would reach the FA Cup final, but they both wrongly thought Liverpool would beat Aston Villa. Those results do not count towards their weekly totals.
We are keeping a record of the totals for Lawro and his guests (below), and showing a table of how the Premier League would look if all of Lawro's predictions were correct (at the bottom of the page).

Charlton Athletic have sacked head coach Guy Luzon after a 3-0 home defeat by Brentford left them in the Championship relegation zone.

The Addicks have lost seven of their last nine league games and last won in the Championship in late August.
Luzon, 40, was appointed in January and won 12 of his 36 matches in charge, steering the club to a safe 12th-placed finish last season.
Coaches Damian Matthew and David Martane have also left the Valley.
Saturday's Brentford loss followed a defeat by the same 3-0 scoreline at home to Preston in midweek.
Luzon told BBC Radio London on Friday: "We are not a team that need to be a part of the relegation war. We are more than this.
"I have a lot of experience in this kind of situation. In my career I have passed these obstacles."
The Addicks face away games at Middlesbrough and MK Dons next week, before they host Sheffield Wednesday on 7 November.


An area of Cardiff has been chosen to pilot a new ultrafast broadband network, BT has announced.

Whitchurch is one of 26 locations across the UK which will try out Openreach's G.fast technology by 2020.
Ultrafast broadband has download speeds of up to 330Mbps, 10 times the national average, allowing users to download a two-hour HD film in 90 seconds.
Swansea was earmarked as the first area in Wales to receive the service, following a trial in 2015.
The announcement is part of the company's rollout of ultrafast broadband to 12 million homes and businesses within the next three years.
Ynyr Roberts, Openreach's director for regional infrastructure delivery in Wales, said: "It's a real coup for Cardiff to be at the forefront of the rollout of ultrafast broadband.
"Now we've identified this latest group of pilot locations, engineering work will begin installing the new network. It will take a few months before people are able to use it."
Openreach said it has made fibre broadband available to more nearly 1.3 million premises through a partnership with the Welsh Government.
