Summary: The White Helmets have become a favorite story line in western media, know for rescues and emergency care but they were organized by British and American agencies and perform a propaganda role in the attempt to demonize the Syrian government. Sterling provides the details.

In the second part of the interview, Rick Sterling outlines the ways in which an unscientific and incomplete report on use of performance enhancing drugs by Russian athletes led to banning of their track and field team(collective punishment) and all Russians from the Paralympics.

Demonization of Russia by the US is putting the Olympics and international sport at risk.
