New legislation in england and wales could see murderers who refuse to reveal the location of their victims bodies spend the cosplay experts longer in prison. Helens law follows a campaign have got me a costume. By the mother of helen mccourt, oh, this ones for me . Thank you very much who was killed 31 years ago but whose body has never been found. Dan johnson reports. For marie mccourt, the grief of more than 30 years has been compounded by the added pain of being unable to bury her daughter. Helen was 22 when she disappeared. She was murdered by ian simms, so, im not sure what this is, the grand reveal. A pub landlord who is still serving hopefully its one i recognise. Oh, its totoro, from a life sentence and refuses to say my neighbour totoro, the Studio Ghibli film this one i know and am very happy to wear. What he did with helens body. Very happy cosplayer today. Lets go marie took her campaign to downing street, calling for helens law to prevent murderers like simms being eligible for early release. Now the justice secretary has agreed to the change across england and wales. To have this law means that other families will not have to hopefully go through the pain and grief for as long as i have. I believe that these killers now have to face up to what they have done, because to take a life is horrendous, but then to take the lives of the family of that loved one thousands of people have come for the comic con, and not let them know ireland edition. Many are taking part where their loved ones body is, in the cosplay competitions, there is no torture worse than that. Hoping to be picked to represent ireland in the euro cosplay championships. Others are here to play their favourite characters. Running the cosplay side of things, is guild of nerds. The parole board can already use i think years ago, cosplay was seen withholding information as a reason not to release a prisoner because it as sort of an oddity, but now it has become very may suggest they are still a risk mainstream, where like 50 to the public, but it is optional. Of the convention will be in cosplay now, helens law changes that. And i think in the last ten years, it makes factoring it in a legal requirement. Theres actually people who have the hope is this move will help made a living out of it. Address criticism of the parole system and rebuild trust. So, why has it become so big . I mean, how did it turn from a couple of people this is one element of trying going to a convention to restore confidence, in costume to all this . By making it mandatory, in effect, the internet. For them to take account and theres some people of this particular issue. Who may be isolated, i think there are lots of issues and when they come to conventions, with the criminaljustice system thats when they can meet and it is people like marie like minded people and some people who identify what they are when theyre actually in costume, and campaign for them that they get a bit more confident and their acting in the character, it makes them act like the way they normally wouldnt. Pretty much most people i know are introverts, but you see them and they will will change the system. Be extremely hyper. This is maries weekly ritual in memory of helen. Its this ongoing anguish the ministry ofjustice says its acting to recognise, we are going to start things off, on behalf of families denied anyone who would like to come up the chance to lay their loved ones to rest. In costume and show us something dan johnson, bbc news. Are you ready to start . Now on bbc news, the travel show. If i rub this lamp, will i get three wishes . Only if you say, i wish. How about questions instead . Coming up on this weeks programme but you still have to start i am dressing up in dublin them with, i wish. As cosplay marks its 35th birthday. 0h, 0k, well, iwish ade heads to dubai to explore for you to tell me. Tell me a little bit about the costumes and the competition here because it seems fierce to me. Well honestly we are all. A record breaker, in full bloom. We are all big nerds. We love what we love. We all love anime, we all love videogames, we all love this place is like the chelsea movies. Like myself with aladdin, flower show on steroids. I have non stop. Non stop been listing to the aladdin songs. And lucy puts a cardboard on repeat, 24 7. Kayak to the test oh dear in this months global gadgets. 00 03 45,147 4294966103 13 29,430 this is pretty sturdy. So now you get to, kind of, come and show your passion for this . Yes, a lot of people here, we have our day jobs which go into our hobby, a lot of people can spend a lot of money. But some people some people who start out especially, they could use their own clothes at home, your costume could be just a tank top and shorts, something very basic. And, boom you are cosplaying so have you heard, just anecdotally, like, oh such and such spent like 2 grand on a dress . Or. Yeah no, thats happened. That has happened a lot of times. Back to the competition, and there has been a development. They have allowed me to come up on the judges panel, and i even get to give my own specialjudges award. A very wide array of costumes so far, including some pretty gory ones. Contestants are judged on effort and performance for portraying the character, with those making their outfits from scratch gaining extra points. We all get to pick one place. Oh, god youve chosen all my picks but it means im like, on point with myjudging. So thats good despite all the fun, there has been controversy over recent years about some cosplayers getting the wrong kind of attention, with accusations of sexual harassment, inappropriate behaviour and body shaming and offence. Thats why this slogan, cosplay is not consent, has started to appear at many conventions along with a set of rules that mean that nobody should be touched or photographed without their permission. Hello, everybody first of all, may i say, everybodys costumes were just incredible thejudges choice award to go to rachel smith, with her character, yennefer from witcher iii, looking incredibly awesome in black for the winners, it is National Cosplay glory. For the other entrants, theres always next year. I knew only very little about cosplay before i came here, but i feel like it had a crash course and i found it to be such an interesting community of creative people but the most important thing that seems to have come across today, is the passion, and the dedication that people have towards embodying these characters they love so much. Well, if you fancy popping on a costume and morphing into a character for the day, heres your travel show guide for places to strut your stuff around the world. The biggest event of the year for many cosplayers is the san diego comic con, with tickets selling out in minutes. The four day event hosts its own masquerade contest in which you can win significant cash prizes. However, the standard is very high, and the panel ofjudges often includes hollywood costume makers. The cosplay scene in india is rapidly growing, with comic con events taking place in delhi, hyderabad, bengaluru and mumbai. Expect impressive costumes as many cosplayers take full advantage of the army of high skilled, and relatively inexpensive tailors, who work throughout the country. If youd rather be fully immersed in the world of those you are portraying, then maybe larping, or live action role play, is more up your street. The Largest Global larping event is the conquest of mythodea, and takes place in germany where 15,000 people come together for a five day long mediaeval re enactment. Or if dressing up just isnt for you, then the British Museum is currently hosting the largest exhibition of manga ever to take place outside ofjapan. The immersive exhibition explores the mangas global influence, from anime, to the origins of cosplay. Still to come on the travel show lucy takes to the water in a cardboard boat. And ades in dubai, to explore one of the biggest outdoor gardens in the world. Im not even messing about, i feel like they are speaking to me. So dont go away. Welcome back to the travel show, now before we go any further i have to show you this incredible costume by sarah. Sarah, why dont you give us a twirl . So tell me, how on earth did this costume come to be . Well i saw it on a video, it was like on youtube of like, this guy, a designer, who made loads of dresses for little girls that like, transformed, and i just really wanted one but he doesnt make them for older people so i was like, i will make my own, i will figure it out and ill do it myself. So underneath there is a coat hidden, and the coat is reversed so you stick your hands through and pull it up out the back, and wear it literally like a coat and then you pull the dress up and hide it, so it goes like that. Oh, there you go and so for you, what do you enjoy about making these costumes . Ijust love to make things with my hands, like i love the physical aspect of it, ijust love spending time on it and its something i really enjoy. So, how it take to make Something Like this . Well, for me, this one took about two weeks, like, full, every day working on it. What does being part of a Community Like this mean to you . To me, it is like a really big family. When i was in school i didnt really have many friends and, was really lonely, and no one understood, like. And i was into all these comics and disney and superheroes and no one was, and then i found out about comic con and cosplay and i came to my first event, and it was like, everyone swarms you, and theyre like, oh my god, join our little group this is a family, all these friends, and its so nice cause everyones just. Relates so well and you get along with everybody. Its your tribe . Exactly and you put together this one as well . Idid. Its worked out so well, thank you so much for showing your amazing costume thank you and now for global gadgets with lucy. Summer has sort of, almost nearly arrived in the uk, so today i have three gadgets that could help you make the most of the long sunny days, whether youre at home or on your holidays. First up, its the solgaard life back solar. The Company Released their first crowd funded backpack in 2016, and this is a new upgraded version. So, it powers your devices when youre on the move and the battery pack slots in nicely here and can recharge itself via the solar panel on the front. If it is an overcast day, which in london, is a lot of the time, it can still be charged by a micro usb. Now, the company says it is good for up to five full phone charges, but if you are relying solely on that solar panel, it will take more than 2a hours to fully charge. Other features include secret compartments for your passport, travel documents and whatever else, but while the bag is advertised as being antitheft, theres a usb port in one of the side pockets, which might not be the safest place to charge a device. All in all, though, its a potentially useful option if youre going to spend long days out and about with nowhere to charge your device. Next, bose are widely known for their earphones and speakers but not stylish fashion items. That could all be about to change with frames. Its their new line of sunglasses with speakers built in to the side arms, so you can listen to music without anything covering your ears. They re actually pretty clever, so theres a built in speaker in both of the arms, the sound comes out here and is then directed into your ears. And the quality is surprisingly very good. You do get a tiny bit of audio leak, but its about the same as youd get with a lot of other earphones out there, they also connect via bluetooth, although its worth noting its all too easy to hit that connection button when taking them off and putting them on again, so watch out for that. If im being honest, they re probably not going to replace your everyday earphones, and being sunglasses, they are not much use indoors, plus battery life is limited to around 3. 5 hours. But as an accessory, theyre fun, theyre stylish, theyre new and theyre discreet. What if youre more of an expedition type . Well, heres something a bit more adventurous. The onak is a new brand of foldable canoe. Its made from a special type of polypropylene which the manufacturer claims is 100 recyclable. To help me assemble it, ive brought along my friend, outdoor tech expert, kieran. So, this is it. What do you think . Are you ready to help me put this thing together . Lets give it a crack. Lets do it weighing i7kg packed down, the canoe is light enough to wheel around. So, would you say that a love of the Great Outdoors is compatible with a love of tech do the two Work Together . I think they do. I know a lot of purists would say you get out to the outdoors to escape technology, and a lot of technology these days is seen as something that dislocates you from your environment, but a lot of the tech that i really like best helps you to get out, it connects you with your surroundings. So the onak canoe, for example, will enable people to go and see things they will have never have seen before. There are loads of gadgets like that. They are just enabling you to get out and explore more. So, are you sure you dont want to join me . Unfortunately, theres only one lifejacket, so you are on your own this time. Here we go youre free its pretty sturdy the company says it can be used just like any other canoe, but obviously, you need to take the usual precautions. So im out here on the very calm waters of regents park boating lake and ive got my lifejacket on. Ok, so far, so good. Theres no leaks and i feel pretty safe sitting inside the canoe. If say, you have limited storage at home but you love the outdoors, you love going on the water, this is definitely worth considering thanks, lucy well, to finish off, weve got the Perfect Place to put that solar backpack to good use. The sun beats down in dubai pretty much all year round, so you wouldnt think it is the best place to grow flowers. But that hasnt stopped them creating one of the worlds biggest outdoor gardens. We sent ade to go check it out. Heading for the entrance here at the miracle garden, three things immediately strike you. First, the smell, then its the colour, and then, theres the scale. This place is enormous since it opened on valentines day back in 2013, almost 8 Million People have come to take a look around the miracle garden. And im off to meet the man whose idea it all was. Dubais full of surprises. Where did you get your inspiration from . Actually, my inspiration, first of all, i am a landscaping engineer. And since i was a child, always reading about heaven, paradise, and it is filled with flowers, so always this idea in my brain, and always when i see my kids playing, you know, games on screens, on tv, i always. It comes to my mind, really, i need something for people to go out. So this has inspired me to create something to take people outside, to take people to nature. And its on such a grand scale so many flowers here how many flowers do you have in this park . We are always sustaining above 50 million flowers. 50 million flowers . yes. This place must take a lot of water. Where do you get it from and how do you keep it sustainable . Actually, we are using the recycled water from dubai municipality, so all the grey water over the city, the municipality recycle it and pump it to us, and from our side we refilter this water and convert it to very high quality water. And what about your challenges . What is the biggest challenge for you . Actually, the biggest challenge is just the wind. If we have strong wind, it is really our best challenge. We cant control it. We can control pests, we can control irrigation, temperature, everything can be controlled but not the wind. This place is like the Chelsea Flower Show on steroids. But you know what im looking forward to . Its when all these people leave and i get to hang out with the gardeners and find out how they keep everything looking so immaculate. Owl hoots. This place takes on a completely different aura at night. Its actually quite scary. I mean, those giant animals staring down at you, they feel more lifelike. Itsjust gone 10 00, and its only myself here and 200 gardeners that work all night to keep this place looking pristine. Im going to find one of them now. Hello, ade how are you . Nice to meet you. Lovely to meet you. This place is so different at night. Of course it is what is going on here . It seems like its raining should i have brought my umbrella . No need for that, just we are doing our irrigation work. We wait till the people leave the garden, then we start our irrigation. Is there anything i can do to help . Of course, you can do as you can see here, we are approaching the sunflower. You can see how it is blooming, it is nice. Its beautiful yeah, so we need to keep it beautiful, as you said. How we would do that, of course, we need to get rid of the dried ones. To trim it, prune it from time to time. 0k. So if you like, you can try by yourself. So, im looking for these dried sunflowers where the leaves are. Of course, the wilted ones, the dried ones. Actually, i was speaking to one of the gardeners earlier and he says, you know, you almost develop this relationship and a connection with the plants. Im not even messing about. I feel like they are speaking to me. You know, these ones are saying, stay away from me with those scissors stay away from me, you madman now, this looks a little bit more complicated than what i was doing earlier. Yes, of course. Why is he shaving the clock . I will not allow you to do it. Come on, come on and the clock, is it accurate . It is accurate, of course, it is connected with the gps, you can check your timing now. Lets have a look. 10 46. 10 a6, yes. Good job, yeah . It is almost time for bed for me, but the team of gardeners will be working here throughout the night until the gardens reopen up to the public at 10 00 tomorrow morning, making sure that all of those millions of flowers are in blooming, tip top condition. Thats all we have on this weeks programme. But coming up next week on the travel show mikes on australias Great Barrier reef, looking at some of the amazing work being done to protect it. Ok, and here we go, we havejust started our descent. Below all we see is blue. Ifeel a little bit nervous. As well as finding out how eco submarines could be the future of underwater sightseeing. So, dojoin us then. And in the meantime, dont forget you can catch up with us on our social media feeds, where you can share your travels with us and the rest of the world. Until next time, from me, christa larwood, the travel show team and the cosplayers of dublin, its goodbye. Hello there. The best of saturdays sunshine was across the northern half of the uk, but its not where we saw the highest temperature. Even though we saw scenes like this across the great orme looking out towards llandudno. We did have lower temperatures than those of friday. It was distinctly grey at times with some drizzle underneath our weather front, however, so a very different day. Its in the far south, where we had the early sunshine, where we saw the highest temperatures. For most, it was a very pleasant high teens, low 20s, but chilly in that north westerly and some showers in the far north of scotland. That fresher air is gradually filtering further southwards. So through the early hours, therell still be a lot of cloudy and dampish weather in the south, could be quite misty around some of the coasts and still feeling quite close for sleeping. But for the vast majority, it is a fresher end to the night and a lovely start to our sunday morning. Certainly a sunnier day for england and wales. Eventually, this weather front, dragging its heels a little, will clear away any showers, diminishing too, and then most of the showers will be across the north east of scotland, the afternoon developing across the hills of england where they could be quite sharp. But for the vast majority, its a dry day. Good spells of sunshine. Strong july sunshine. So, feeling pleasant enough despite that north west breeze. Away from the breeze, obviously feeling much more pleasant. But some strong sunshine, some very high levels of pollen. Now, heading further afield, the womens world cup final, stade de lyon, thereve been some heavy showers around through saturday and into sunday, but they should be ebbing away, but worth noting they could still be around. And there could still be some showers around through sunday night into monday, but the main theme is how chilly its going to be. Temperatures could fall low enough for a touch of grass frost in the glens of scotland come monday, and it should be a fresher, more comfortable night in the south by then, having lost our weather front. And we start the week with high pressure. However, you can see already those weather fronts are starting to stack up a sign of a change for the coming weather. A more unsettled picture, particularly as the week goes on. But still, the detail is going to be quite devilish and the confidence quite low. But for many, on monday, it looks fine and dry again, the cloud and rain approaches Northern Ireland towards teatime. There could be the odd shower around elsewhere. But despite the chilly start, well see temperatures leaping up to around average for the time of year. Feel pleasant enough with the light winds. But come tuesday, weve got that rain passing through Northern Ireland, Northern England and into scotland. Showery rain albeit. And there will be more cloud further south. But were picking the temperatures up because weve lost that north westerly wind. Were picking up the Atlantic South westerly instead. The outlook is a more unsettled one, though, from tuesday on, isnt it, for the northern half of the country, and by the end of the week, the likelihood is well pick up some heavier showers further south as well. Well keep you posted. Theres more online. Welcome to bbc news. Im reged ahmad. Our top stories can Irans Nuclear deal be saved .
