Some drifted off the coasts of India and Indonesia later weeks, but hundreds of other survivors are dead. Thailand has denied any abuse, but said that the boat people are economic migrants, not refugees.

The local press has seized on the controversy - but not all, took the party of government.

Angelina Jolie Is Missing Its Brood



Even if they are returned from nearby security, Angelina Jolie is missing its brood. Her partner (that would be Brad Pitt, of course) is the baby-sitting duty caring for their six children, four months Knox twins Leon and Vivienne Marcheline, as she is in labor, giving few interviews before glitzy participating in the New York premiere of his latest film, Changeling.

"I can not be far away for too long," she said. "They are part of me and I am part of them. In fact, they are high - I'm surprised that you can not listen. "

"Floor" is the penthouse suite of sumptuous luxury hotel in Manhattan where we meet. Angelina arrived bang on time, looking every inch perfectly trails the prestigious Hollywood star. "Oh, yes, but you should have seen me a couple of hours ago when I was a breakfast organization," she laughs.

The image of corn flakes in his extra-long eyelashes is difficult to talk about yet. It is a vision composed of costs - a mane of hair dark brown a tumble on his shoulders and a tight fitting, cream Ralph Lauren crew-neck jumper underlines the rapid turnover has regained its wow factor since birth twins in July.

The risk, dangerous sexuality that characterized her in the past - to talk about bisexuality and a fascination with knives - certainly not on display today. Tattoos (nine at last count) are hidden under the sleeves and cashmere wise it looks like a beautiful Manhattan mom on her way to meet many wealthy friends for brunch.

"How do I get my figure back? Well, breastfeeding for a start. It is to run around and after six children, "she says. Indeed, there are photos of her womb, taken by Brad, on the cover of a magazine and other publication would have paid 14 million dollars for exclusive photos of newborn twins, is the frenzied interest in Brangelina brand.

Wherever they travel, children go with them - son Maddox, seven, and Pax, four, and daughter Zahara, three, who were all adopted, their biological daughter, two years, Shiloh, and now the twins, too.

"It was a crazy amount of money," she agrees, referring to treat child images. "But look, we use our money for charity and this way it does some good."

This is typical of Angelina, a woman who is ready to exercise its reputation as a club, if it considers it useful. His work as a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has taken in some of the most dangerous in the world. And the Jolie-Pitt Foundation has funded projects as diverse as legal aid for refugee children, $ 2 million donation to a clinic in Ethiopia and the support of a proposed wildlife conservation in Cambodia (the birthplace of Maddox).

"You should never help someone out of pity, or to get Brownie points in the sky," she says. "You really find joy in making someone else's life better."

The charity work and her travels around the world have changed Angelina from a non often wild young woman in a conscientious parent leads determined to use his notoriety - and money - for humanitarian causes.

It was while she was in her first film Lara Croft, Tomb Raider, in 2001, she traveled to Cambodia. She returned to the same United Nations country on a mission on the ground and decided that it would adopt a child. She recorded with an American-founded and the adoption agency in Cambodia is returned again in March 2002, to visit orphanages.

"I woke up the day I met Maddox thought, 'My son or daughter is here. They will introduce myself to a child and I wonder how I will feel? "And when I met him [Maddox was seven months old at the time] I knew that I was her mother. And I can not explain it. I do not know why, but it is quite expected be. "

She always had a difficult relationship with his own father, Jon Voight (Oscar-winning star of Midnight Cowboy, Coming Home and Mission: Impossible), who left his mother when Angelina was a toddler, there were long periods when they didn 't spoken.
"As you get older you see more character to your face. Now when I look at myself, I see someone at peace and I see a mother - and that the
a kind of beauty "

Becoming a mother made her feel more secure in itself and, for the first time, at ease with how it looks.
"I know this is his shot, but I had for the first time satisfied with the way I am when I became a mother. There is this idea that beauty is when someone does the hair and puts a lot of makeup on your face you and sticks on the cover of a magazine. Is this beauty?

"You know what is beautiful? My mother. [His mother was French actress Marcheline Bertrand, who died 56 years last January with ovarian cancer.] It was nice for me, and I am more my mother that I get older. Something else comes to you when you become a parent, and as you get older, you start to see more character to your face.

"Now when I look at myself, I just see someone at peace, and I see a mom, and I see my family in my face - and this is a kind of beauty that exists for all world and does not disappear. "

In the past, she said that her teens and early 20s were difficult years when it was "very unfortunate and unhealthy." What turned his life around, she said, Brad meeting was in 2005 (he was still married to Jennifer Aniston and Angelina when they co-star comedy thriller Mr. and Mrs. Smith, playing a married couple unaware that they are both until they assassins are hired to kill each other), have children and implementation of humanitarian action.

"I knew I had to find order and balance before becoming a mother. , I would not have jumped in until I knew I was all right and could be stable. "

His latest film, Changeling, directed by Clint Eastwood, is based on a true story and was, she says, the most poignant role it has undertaken, which causes nightmares and panic attacks. "I was wacko, emotionally, during it," she said. "I just could not get the story of my head."

Set in 1920s Los Angeles, the film casts like Angelina Christine Collins, a single mother whose nine years, son Walter disappears while she is at work. "In our texts they included newspaper stories about the case in 1928. To know that what really happened and to see evidence of this is incredible, "she said. "It is too bizarre to be true."
"During the filming of Changeling I was paranoid about my own children - where they are, what they were doing"

After months anxiously waiting for news of Walter, Collins is said that the police found him safe and well. But when it comes to gather at the local railway station - with the press on hand to record the event and police officers desperate to extract positive publicity from it - she knows instantly that the boy, although physically similar, n is not his son.

In the context of a city torn by civil and political intrigue, draws on Collins extraordinary inner strength and refuses to accept the "bad" boy.

Eastwood is powerful, moving film reminds us that Angelina can really act, and could well win his Oscar another (she won the best supporting actress for Girl, Interrupted in 2000).

"It's excruciating to watch and, yes, it was wrenching to go," she said. "During this film, I was much more paranoid about my own children - where they are, what they were doing.

"I remember one weekend I took a nap and Shiloh was asleep in his cradle, and when I woke up, she disappeared. I was like this. And nothing happened - Brad and took the remaining children to the park.

"But the story of Walter haunted me. Throughout filming I was shaking the children and keep them near me."

The similarities with the Madeleine McCann case are obvious. "My heart goes to this family," she says. "We do not know what happened to your child is the worst thing in the world.

"I love Brad and if something happened to him, it would wreck me, but if something happened to my children ... that is something I can not even think is shocking. "

Changeling was filmed in California in August and September last year, like Brad and Angelina have thought to try for another baby, so that the subject has been particularly traumatic for them.

"It was like," Do you want to start a pregnancy in this
High emotional state? "I felt so raw.

"Now we joke that we had perhaps too much energy because we ended up with twins! It was a huge surprise - we both had to laugh hysterically when we discovered.

"The twins are on the mother insertpseudonym hand, if we had joked about the possibility, but do not think it would happen. But it was great. "

For her portrayal of Christine Collins, Angelina heavily on the memory of his own mother. 'Mom was so sweet, just a very sweet person. Yet if you were to take her children, she would have been just as Christine - she would have found the strength somehow to do what was necessary to get his son.

"I felt very fragile [about my mother's death]. But it was actually a time to reconnect with her. When she first passed away, I could not look at pictures of her - I would just start crying.

"But then I looked in the mirror and I could see my face - even brown hair, the way she smiles. I played kind of sound in this film. To spend time with it this way is very healing. When Brad saw the film, the first thing he told me was, "I can see your mother ..." "

The tabloid rumors that swirl around Angelina and Brad - who she suffers from postpartum depression, that their relationship is in difficulty - are reduced to just over Tittle-Tattle when you meet. She seems perfectly happy and content with his life.

"I have a wonderful family and I go out from time to time and make a film, if I never read these magazines. There are things about me that are useful for people to read, and then there are things that simply ridiculous. There are errors that I made, the lessons I learned - and I am pleased to speak - and I speak of love to other mothers about things I do not know how to do " .

She and Brad live a nomadic life, with homes in LA, New Orleans and Cambodia. The advice that, with school commitments, they could settle, but said: "You know, we are lucky, we can move and adapt children and they can be with us - c That is the priority. "

It seeks to adopt a green lifestyle, but admits it is difficult. "I love for each car to be more environmentally friendly.
I love to recycle better, and I would love if there are laws against excessive packaging and plastic things and you know, you buy a toy for children, and I think that is something like 80 percent [that] Whether you buy
is the packaging.

"But I'm not as good in this respect that Brad. He taught me a lot. And if we fly private, we buy carbon credits where we are going. "

Pregnancy and the birth of twins means that it has not worked since Changeling, more than a year. "I'll make a film [The mercenary: love and honor] in February, and after that I will not work again for another year.

"But it was even difficult to decide. I had many discussions at home - can you balance things? Mom can get to work? Can it be all right? Maybe I'll make a few months of work annually.

"Brad and I are trying to balance our lives so that we raise our children properly, and we also try to ensure that we are true - that artists, as a person. When we film offers, we must ask ourselves, "Will it be good for the family?"

"Fortunately, [Brad] such a great father, and when he goes to work, I'm home, and vice versa. And any parent knows that sometimes, just a little time for yourself makes you a better mother. Whether you get a good night's sleep and you're so much better the next day. "

At home, she insists, they are like any other family. Children run and play and watch DVDs - including Shark Tale, an animation in which Angelina expressed one of the characters.

"They have not seen many of our films yet, because they are a little young, but I'm looking forward to one day the discovery of Mr. and Mrs. Smith," she smiles. "They will have a great laugh - to see where their parents met in reality, and watch them fall in love and try to kill each other!

"And it was Madd while we were filming, it was a part of it. It is quite extraordinary."

But then, there has never been anything about Ms. Jolie ordinary.

This has not happened. The marriage did not work. And shortly after we separated, we were on the phone and we had a long, long conversation with them and said many things, and since we were incredibly warm and friendly each other. "
