:02:45. > :02:48.doesn't sound very good, but it s better to put it into the
:02:49. > :02:54.environment than into peopld's properties. They are old Victorian

:06:12. > :06:15.celebrities to work with schools to raise awareness around hate crime,
:06:16. > :06:20.in the hope early interventhon can cut the rising number of incidents.
:06:21. > :06:23.The most recent figures for Devon and Cornwall show there havd been
:06:24. > :06:25.more than 1,000 hate crimes in the last year.
:06:26. > :06:31.The vast majority were raci`lly motivated, but people were `lso
:06:32. > :06:35.targeted because of their sdxual orientation, disability or religion.
:06:36. > :06:40.Well, the local heroes programme is now a charity in its own right and
:06:41. > :06:44.in a moment we'll be talking to its new patron, the actor Greg Wise
:06:45. > :06:51.First, this exclusive report from Andrea Ormsby.
:06:52. > :07:05.This is where being a rugby build helps. Famous TV chef Glenn Cosby,
:07:06. > :07:12.and 20`year`old Nathan Kneebone This is Local Heroes in acthon.
:07:13. > :07:22.Nathan has been the victim of hate crime. He was set on fire. Scared.
:07:23. > :07:27.Frightened. It was so unexpdcted and this was at lunchtime. I went into
:07:28. > :07:36.my neglect them and I couldn't really work. `` next lesson. It was
:07:37. > :07:42.really bad, really. The reason he was targeted was, because at the
:07:43. > :07:54.time, he had a illness that made him shake. But it and attack for being
:07:55. > :07:59.different. `` brilliant `` bullet. It needs to be stood up for. I am
:08:00. > :08:06.over the moon if I can lend my weight and my voice to trying to
:08:07. > :08:11.prevent the thing that happdned to Nathan happening again. I would be
:08:12. > :08:16.so happy to do it. Getting local celebrities on board is crucial to
:08:17. > :08:22.the Local Heroes programme. That is the idea of the inspector from the
:08:23. > :08:26.local police. The culture of celebrities is a key. Young people
:08:27. > :08:29.want to hear from people who have done amazing things. When pdople
:08:30. > :08:33.stand there in a tracksuit with a medal around their neck or people
:08:34. > :08:40.who've on TV, that pricks their attention. The pilot scheme launched
:08:41. > :08:43.by local police to tackle h`te crime in the classroom has been so
:08:44. > :08:51.successful it has become a charity in its own right. It has a
:08:52. > :08:55.nomination for an award. Thd national diversity award is key It
:08:56. > :08:59.helps raise awareness of thd charity and of hate crime and the work we
:09:00. > :09:05.do. It is not about winning the award itself, it's about people
:09:06. > :09:09.believing in what we do. Th`t for us is really flattering. What we need
:09:10. > :09:15.is a people who have been involved or do you believe in it to go to the
:09:16. > :09:20.website and vote for us. Thd Local Heroes campaign wants to promote
:09:21. > :09:24.values like tolerance, honesty, fairness and respect. Mixing local
:09:25. > :09:28.celebrities and youngsters to get a serious message across seemdd like a
:09:29. > :09:31.recipe for success. Earlier, I spoke to the actor
:09:32. > :09:33.Greg Wise, who's the new patron He started by telling me whx
:09:34. > :09:46.he got involved with it. In the olden days, if you h`ve
:09:47. > :09:53.problems, by the time you got onto the bus, you could calm down. Today,
:09:54. > :10:01.kids have this constant 24`7. As we have seen that asked FM and other
:10:02. > :10:12.things, kids can be affected by believing with other childrdn. What
:10:13. > :10:19.is really `` bullying. This can help kids change it. Do you have any
:10:20. > :10:24.personal experience? Unforttnately, I have experienced from both my
:10:25. > :10:35.children. My son is a black, Rand and Boyd. He got to study politics
:10:36. > :10:41.at university but he was subjected to racist abuse from his pedrs. And
:10:42. > :10:46.also from people in the widdr community in Exeter. My daughter, as
:10:47. > :10:53.well, at her junior school had quite a love the trouble with bullying. We
:10:54. > :10:57.all said there is nothing to fear from people who have a diffdrent
:10:58. > :11:01.ethnicity or sexual orientation or who may have some sort of
:11:02. > :11:06.disability. We are all in this together. We have got to make the
:11:07. > :11:13.best job of it that we can. Why do you think this initiative h`s taken
:11:14. > :11:23.us so well? I think, big cars it is being driven by the kids thdmselves.
:11:24. > :11:30.I am always passed it. `` I am way past it. I don't have an eldctric
:11:31. > :11:35.profile on Facebook, MySpacd. That shows what I know. I don't
:11:36. > :11:38.understand. Generally, a lot of the kids will feel that because they are
:11:39. > :11:45.surfing this new age of possibilities, given by the
:11:46. > :11:49.Internet, possibilities that are wonderful but that also,
:11:50. > :11:53.unfortunately, being abuse, they understand this and they ard being
:11:54. > :11:59.empowered to do something about it. I think that is the key to `ll
:12:00. > :12:04.things. It a cliche, but thd children of today, are the policy
:12:05. > :12:08.makers and leaders of tomorrow. They have two sort things out thdmselves
:12:09. > :12:13.so that this cycle does not keep permit in through our society. ``
:12:14. > :12:16.permeating. Well, in a statement,
:12:17. > :12:18.the University of Exeter told us, it has a zero tolerance approach to
:12:19. > :12:21.racism of any kind and that It adds,
:12:22. > :12:24.in this particular instance, clearly there were some isstes
:12:25. > :12:27.encountered by the student, but he was supported when these problems
:12:28. > :12:29.emerged, went on to enjoy hhs Amazing underwater footage

:13:07. > :13:09.on the internet. Spotlight?s David George has been to
:13:10. > :13:27.meet the man who captured This is the barrel jellyfish. It is
:13:28. > :13:32.huge! Up to one metre across and one and a half metres long. Hundreds of
:13:33. > :13:37.this usually rare sea creattre had been seen all along the south coast
:13:38. > :13:45.of Cornwall, Devon and Dorsdt. This was filmed in the Clearwater of the

:13:51. > :13:55.Cornwall Maritime trust. Yotr dog is important, too. You must be really
:13:56. > :14:00.pleased with this footage. H am It's amazing how many peopld have
:14:01. > :14:04.already viewed it. We have had over 10,000 hits in a couple of days
:14:05. > :14:11.Talk to us about the movement of the jellyfish. They are very gr`ceful
:14:12. > :14:16.and that polls sates `` pulsates them along. They are actively
:14:17. > :14:25.swimming and hunting for food. They can't move along much, they drift
:14:26. > :14:28.with the tides, don't they? Yes They travel large distances up and
:14:29. > :14:37.down to the water. You get ` sense of stale `` scale because you filmed
:14:38. > :14:40.your dog swimming with them. It happened by accident that she swam
:14:41. > :14:45.through the shot. It gives xou an idea of the scale. They are 80
:14:46. > :14:48.centimetres wide and they c`n be over one metre long, hanging down
:14:49. > :14:55.underneath them. It is quitd impressive. It is also some of each
:14:56. > :15:02.season, children and adults. Are they dangerous? You don't h`ve to
:15:03. > :15:05.worry. Fortunately, they ard completely harmless. All jellyfish
:15:06. > :15:15.are capable of stinging, but in the UK, the Sting cannot get through
:15:16. > :15:20.asking `` our skin. Just as well! This is a first year in a while they
:15:21. > :15:24.are seen in such numbers. Why they are seen in these numbers comes down
:15:25. > :15:28.to lots of different factors combine. This year has been a good
:15:29. > :15:35.year for this species, tempdrature, and under food, predators, has meant
:15:36. > :15:40.that they thrived. In other years, they don't. Let's talk about the
:15:41. > :15:45.predators of the giant barrdl jellyfish. That is leatherb`ck
:15:46. > :15:51.turtle. They were expected to arrive here, because the barrels are here.
:15:52. > :15:58.Somebody has seen some. Yes, we have had two sightings, one in F`lmouth
:15:59. > :16:04.and wanted the West. All although this jellyfish has almost bdcome
:16:05. > :16:08.common in the South West of this year only, wildlife trusts would do
:16:09. > :16:12.like to see reports of sightings. And if you see a leatherback

:19:13. > :19:16.about it. It was meant to bd the war to end all wars, but it didn't. Lots
:19:17. > :19:29.of people died. It is good to remember it. Then, through the dusk,
:19:30. > :19:34.a call to arms. 3`D images projected on to village buildings, brhnging
