organized by druze community leaders the druze have historically been considered really state's most loyal minority with the six members serving in the police the military as well as holding political office but they say the new legislation has driven a wedge through that special relationship one druze leader even said the law paves the way to israel becoming an apartheid state this nation state law is an evil and sadistic law designed to allow the state of israel to become an apartheid state. well some members of the knesset including members of prime minister netanyahu his ruling party have also asked that the controversial law but he's hit back calling its critics hypocrites and claiming the law does not infringe on the rights of minorities this quote there are suggestions that we should change the flag and the anthem in the name. but first of all in the state of israel it is something that

10:49 pm
humanitarian heroes arguable the enemy of donald trump and president assad hollywood though doesn't see it that way at all thank you to the white house is. sadly right the head of the white homeless is not able to join us tonight the white helmet being celebrated there at the oscars and while the head of the group couldn't make it to receive the other wardrobe has been able to make it to talk to going underground the head of the group that has been nominated for the nobel peace prize for its work in a conflict that has killed wounded or displaced millions joins me now via skype from istanbul in turkey. welcome to going underground so how many lives have the white helmet saved. since the establishment of the white helmets in syria at the beginning of twenty thirteen and until now we have saved more than one hundred fifty thousand people from under the rubble during the aerial bombings by the syrian regime in russia. and who from foreign governments have
10:50 pm
supported you know. like all other humanitarian organizations that are working in syria like that arab syrian red crescent all the other humanitarian organizations like the agencies that are affiliated to the united nations that receive international funding from all countries we don't have any exclusions in terms of funding we accept funding from america great britain holland denmark canada france and other countries like japan and qatar and we also receive very large public financial donations from the arab people and people from to do. different countries that is through donation campaigns that we launch through our websites or social media the british prime minister talks proudly of british funding for the white helmets britain give more than the united states number yes britain is one of the largest supporters of the white helmets and that can't be hidden from anybody the british government announces publicly in the financial amounts that it offers to
10:51 pm
the white helmet and we also have a true partnership with the british government at the service of humanity in syria and i want to get into the humanitarian issues in a second but did you feel a bit abandoned by the dollar trump who appeared to try to stop funding by the us government for the way home it. knew and i think there's been some vagueness on this issue is there was general funding which included funding for the white helmets and after that came to a stop it was restarted again on the funding for the white helmets began again in a normal way there is currently no reservations or residence on the amounts that are donated to the white helmets on the contrary the budgets that are offered by the united states of america have in fact increased in order to sponsor the search and rescue operations that's we do in syria the bombings and raids are done by russia and the syrian regime and so are the white helmet still are in syria because there are reports that white helmets are being evacuated to other countries.
10:52 pm
those that have been evacuated are ninety eight volunteers and their families escaping the revenge operations that they were subject to by the syrian regime and the militias that are affiliated to it that's word advancing towards the syrian golan heights however we currently still have around three thousand seven hundred volunteers who are working in the areas that we are able to access and are providing essential services to the communities that they work with where did the ninety six go. currently they are still in jordan right so the early in britain or israel or france as being reported they are still. ok i don't know were what you thought of this with the british broadcasting corporation's panorama program british aid is going to terrorists they made a program called in jihad these the jihad is you pay for what do you make of allegations that aid money from britain is actually going to terrorists the program that was presented by panorama was not in relation to the funding that was received
10:53 pm
by the white helmets there has been some reservations about some of the funding that went to certain organizations however the truth was later revealed as this was merely propaganda and a promotional action by the media that was aimed at distorting and ruining the reputation of civil syrian activists eventually the work of these organizations was restarted and continued once their innocence was proven through an investigation that took place in britain with the sponsoring parties yeah so you've never worked with the free syrian police and all white helmet volunteers are always other homes throughout the throughout the conflict. no no i have never said those words what i said was that the b.b.c. report was concerning other organizations i've not said that we do not work with the syrian free police we do work with the free police and with all the civil organizations that work in the areas that we are able to access what i said is that the program was talking about other organizations and the white helmets organization in syria since you have been involved in the white helmets have you
10:54 pm
ever seen any evidence of infiltration in the way of helmets by islamist groups national and system when we established the organization there were rules and regulations in relation to the international humanitarian norm and the management of the search and rescue operations teams based on which this organization was built that it began to expand and prosper and became an international humanitarian entity working for the service of the syrian people and to save them from under the rubble after the aerial shelling done by the syrian regime and russia we have not seen. any case of infiltration having said that there has been on some occasions certain areas that we have had to evacuate in a sudden and quick manner and therefore we left behind some clothing or equipment have been used by some groups to distort the reputation of the civil defense the photographs and fabrications that have come out as a result are not necessarily truthful or generated by the syrian civil defense the white helmets in fact in regards to all the issues that have surfaced if they were
10:55 pm
ever related to that organization we produce an official statement and we announce our stand regarding the mistakes that's might take place. so are other organizations responsible for the alleged fake videos and photos a large. i believe that the main motive for the forgery and misuse of the photographs comes from groups that are active in social media and that are affiliated to russia and the syrian regime they are constantly working on ruining our reputation in order to refute the facts regarding what we offer to the united nations' community concerning the violations that have been committed by the syrian regime against the civilians which includes the use of chemical weapons as well as the violations that have been committed by the russian army during their operations in syria tell me about. the boy whose photos were awards he was covered in dust and the white helmets of the bordley saved his life.
10:56 pm
the truth is as you know i'm running definitely she's home was bombed and he was extracted by our teams from under the rubble and we did not photograph in the source of the photograph that was published was not of the white helmets but a journalistic reporter we saved him and his brother who stayed in hospital for several months until he recovered we were surprised at the way he was used and exploited by the russian government to speak in the media had emraan that me she's father been given the safety and been taken to a safe place he would have spoken differently than he did under the threats of the syrian regime he knows well that's we saved his son and his brother who stayed in hospital for several months until his full recovery because mohamed. told us actually the photograph was used to exploit him with regard to the white helmets they primarily work with the press it's a professional tool they are using we had a pulitzer prize winning journalist seymour hersh on the program telling us the way the helmets were a propaganda organization in truth a man's father is obliged to speak in that way and he's not in total safety under
10:57 pm
the regime that has announced the assassination of eleven thousand convicts in the prisons over the last few weeks alone is obliged to speak that way and i on the. his position however we know that we have fulfilled our duty when we rescued his two sons from under the rubble after they were bombed by the syrian regime this is our duty and we do not expect thanks from anybody for fulfilling our duty towards our own people in syria as for the other journalists i don't know who they are the journalist that you are referring to those who have come up with such talk unless they are part of those journalists that create propaganda against the white helmets which have become known by the name we do not feel the need to respond to them because they are aware of the fact that they are lying and we know that they are lines were in any way helmets also evacuated to a glib this year as part of the evacuation plan to northern syria you know yes the evacuation of some of them yes the volunteers have been evacuated with their families to the city of italy what was it like for them traveling in the russian
10:58 pm
buses i understand with isis and al qaeda linked groups four million they want transported in washing buses the buses were sponsored by the evacuation process was sponsored by the red presence and there was a deal between the opposition parties and russia however when they were moved to italy they did so on the names that were different from their real names and they didn't explain that they were volunteers with the white helmets by fear of the revenge that they could have been subjected to they were afraid and worried we were in direct communication with them throughout their journey and they were afraid during their journey until they reached a safe place which was the point where they were received by the syrian government says it's just waiting. to groups in al qaeda linked groups british government in a freedom of information request said that you document war crimes for the british government is that would you send the british government on out of the city in truth the syrian war is a global issue it's no longer the issue of the syrian regime alone we know that the
10:59 pm
party that negotiates in syria in support of the syrian regime is russia and the parties that negotiate in other areas are other countries this issue is no longer syrian in syria the issue is also an end. a national one and it now needs an international trial and an international court in order to hold accountable those who have committed violations in syria from all sides as everybody knows this the regime has used chemical weapons in syria on the fourth of april twenty seventh seen. as that is according to the report that was produced by the joint investigation committee wherein constituted by the decision of the security council that stated in its report dated on the twenty eighth of october twenty seventh seen that the syrian regime has used sarin gas in her home and resulted in ninety one dead and five hundred thirty nine wounded because of this we are in need of an international trial for the judgment of those who have committed violations in syria in order to reach peace and stability in syria yes the o.p.c. w. hasn't said whether it was the way of elmers the syrian government the russians the british who used the chemical weapons and i didn't say that the o.p.c.
11:00 pm
w is the one that made the statement i said the joint investigation committee which is constituted by the decision of the security council in twenty fifteen is the one that produced the report on the twenty eighth of october twenty seventh and said that the syrian regime is the party that stands behind the attacks that took place on the fourth of april twenty seventh team you can refer to the report it's available on the security council website and it was published on the twenty eighth of october twenty seventh seen ok just finally about documenting war crimes the journalist vanessa believes the daughter of a former senior british diplomat who are attention to the beheading of a twelve year old. neuro didn't sinking in july twenty sixth abducted near a white helmet base in ireland sorry why is there no white helmet documentation of the killing of this boy. first of all vanessa billy.
