Brangelina 'nervous about London riots'

Angelina Jolie put on a brave face despite her fear about the London riots to give her kids a fun afternoon out.

The Hollywood star, her partner Brad Pitt and their six kids are currently staying in Richmond, six miles from the capital, while Brad films World War Z.

And refusing to keep her kids cooped up, Jolie took Maddox, 10, Pax, seven, Zahara, six, Shiloh, five, and two-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox for a trip to a pottery café on Tuesday.

"Angie was a little nervous, but felt safe," a source told Us Weekly. "[Security] had an extra man on the job.

"This morning, she was really scared and worried about the safety of the kids.

"But, as the day has gone by, we've been able to get a clear picture on what's going on. She felt safe enough to take the children out. Of course, we are not going anywhere near central London."

"Brad is... worried," added a second insider. "He's pretty safe because he's in Falmouth [Cornwall], but knowing Angie and the kids are in London is what's making him worried. He has been calling the house regularly, to make sure they are OK and calm."

The rioting reportedly started when a silent vigil held for a suspected drug dealer who was shot and killed by police officers in Tottenham, got out of control. It has since spread to other cities in the UK including Birmingham and Liverpool. So far more than 500 people have been arrested in London alone, over 100 police officers have been injured and one person was found dead from a gunshot wound. Around 16,000 police officers are currently patrolling the capital's streets.

"People should be in no doubt that we will do everything necessary to restore order to Britain's streets and to make them safe for the law-abiding," Prime Minister David Cameron told reporters during a Tuesday crisis meeting.
