Lord Weidenfeld is a prominent British Jewish figure, now 95 years old, who is funding a project to rescue two thousand Christian families from the Islamic State group in Syria and Iraq. The first phase of Operation Safe Havens, funded by Lord Weidenfeld, saw a hundred and fifty Syrian Christians airlifted this month from Syria to Poland. He told Newshour why he's doing it.
