Angelina Jolie is set to give a keynote speech during a live special airing on the BBC on May 16.The 40-year-old actress and UNHCR special envoy will speak out in the special about the refugee crisis.“The debate on the refugee crisis is often polarized and based on fear and misconceptions,” Angelina said in a statement (via Daily Mail). “We need to have a rational discussion that focuses on how we strengthen the systems designed to protect those fleeing war and persecution, while understanding and taking into account the concerns of citizens in host countries. Above all, we need to address the conflict and insecurity that are the root causes of the mass movement of refugees.”Angelina added that she is “looking forward to exploring these issues with the BBC and its global audience, and to a day of discussion in which all sides of the debate can be heard and long-term solutions can be identified and highlighted.”

Burt Reynolds Likes Donald Trump, But Thinks Angelina Jolie Would Be A Better President

Now that we know how “totally zonkered” Burt Reynolds was when he shot his infamous Cosmopolitan spread, it’s time to check back in with the Bandit about the fate of our country. In fact, we probably should have consulted with him sooner. “I don’t think there’s any question that Donald is going to be nominated,” Reynolds, who identifies as neither a Republican nor a Democrat, told The Daily Beast in an exclusive interview. “You know, our current president has kind of messed things up the last four years. But I don’t know who I would vote for.” Reynolds’ support for Trump has a complicated backstory, however, as both were heavily involved with the ill-fated United States Football League in the ‘80s. The actor, who co-owned the Tampa Bay Banditsblames the downfall of the USFL on Trump’s “personal ambitions.” Yup, sounds about right! “I’m worried about Donald in terms of us getting into a war, because he’s all for certain things,” Reynolds explained. “I like him very much personally. I know him, and I like him. He’s always been nice and sweet and kind to me. But he seems to be like a sheriff that’s quick on the draw.” In his eyes, there’s only one man he’d endorse for president: Jon Voight. Talk about a twist, right? Describing the actor as “an answer to our problems,” Reynolds goes on to hardcore stan for Voight for Prez 2016. “If any actor was going to run for office, it should be Jon Voight,” Reynolds remarked. “I think he’s quite brilliant in terms of handling himself and he always knows what’s going on in politics.” But according to Reynolds, Voight “gets red in the face” when a potential candidacy is mentioned, so he has another option in mind: Angelina Jolie. “It’s Jon Voight’s daughter that should run,” he said laughing according to The Daily Beast. “I like her a lot. She’s not afraid to tackle anything, and she’s a very, very sweet girl.” We don’t know about “sweet,” but yes, Angie gets stuff done.

Maybe some features are more or less like hers, but we definitely look different.”Zarina, whose favourite Angelina Jolie movie is Mr and Mrs Smith, admits her family were sceptical when she first took up boxing.But she proved them wrong by winning her bronze medal in the Kazakh national championships — losing in the semi-finals to the eventual winner — and is now hoping to compete in the Rio Olympics this summer.Her coach Alexander Vistoskiy remembers his first meeting with the talented athlete.He said: “I asked her to do a couple of hits. Immediately I realised that she is an incredible talent. In five minutes, she learned as much as most people would learn in a year.” Women were allowed to competitively box for the first time at the Olympics during the 2012 London Olympics, producing the world’s first 12 female Olympic medallist boxers.
