:00:00. > :00:31.I would like the police force to come out openly and say this
:00:32. > :00:33.investigation is at an end and there is no foundation for believing the
:00:34. > :00:36.rumours. We'll hear more about
:00:37. > :00:38.what's been reported Arrests are made over
:00:39. > :00:50.the trouble which marred A day of action to highlight
:00:51. > :00:56.the role that migrant workers play And we meet the man who has

:01:03. > :01:15.for a first class stamp. There are calls tonight
:01:16. > :01:17.for Wiltshire's Chief Constable to explain how details
:01:18. > :01:19.of his force's investigation into Sir Edward Heath ended up
:01:20. > :01:22.in a Sunday newspaper. Officers have been
:01:23. > :01:23.investigating the former Prime Minister as part of a wider
:01:24. > :01:25.sexual abuse enquiry. Our Home Affairs Correspondent
:01:26. > :01:33.Charlotte Callen reports. It all started here at
:01:34. > :01:45.the gates of Sir Edward I am appealing to anybody that has
:01:46. > :01:49.been a victim of crime or a witness to something that may have taken
:01:50. > :01:51.place concerning Edward Heath. At a cost of more than ?800,000
:01:52. > :01:54.Operation Conifer has been trawling through every aspect of the former
:01:55. > :01:57.Prime Minister's life Wiltshire Police say
:01:58. > :02:01.they have a duty to properly investigate all allegations
:02:02. > :02:08.of historical sexual abuse. Newly elected, Heath takes his place
:02:09. > :02:12.in Number Ten in 1970. Now his place in the history
:02:13. > :02:20.books is uncertain. With such a high profile
:02:21. > :02:22.investigation, there's no surprise None more so than from friends,
:02:23. > :02:30.like his former agent, a woman who worked with
:02:31. > :02:35.Sir Edward for many years. It should have stopped months
:02:36. > :02:39.and months and months ago. It is destroying the idea of a man
:02:40. > :02:53.who is blameless. are concerned about apparent leaks
:02:54. > :02:59.or briefings to the Mail on Sunday about operational details
:03:00. > :03:03.in this case. Yesterday the paper
:03:04. > :03:05.claimed that more than 30 alleged victims had come forward,
:03:06. > :03:08.that the Chief Constable, Mike Veale, was certain
:03:09. > :03:24.allegations were 120% genuine. The level of detail contained in the
:03:25. > :03:30.newspaper reports has led some comic including friends and politicians
:03:31. > :03:35.wonder whether there was a leak within the investigating team. I
:03:36. > :03:40.asked the police today if they had been involved in any way with this
:03:41. > :03:45.story but they refused and Sir. I asked them if the 30 plus figure
:03:46. > :03:47.five victims was also correct but again they refused to mention
:03:48. > :03:51.anything. The Chief Constable has
:03:52. > :03:53.always said he is in sole charge of Operation Conifer
:03:54. > :03:54.and that no details on numbers of alleged
:03:55. > :04:03.victims would be released. I rightly accept the scrutiny and it
:04:04. > :04:08.is important to affirm to the public and my staff that the conduct of
:04:09. > :04:09.this investigation is my responsibility and my responsibility
:04:10. > :04:12.alone. This afternoon the
:04:13. > :04:14.Conservative MP James Gray told me if the leak came
:04:15. > :04:16.from the Chief Constable, And that this kind of briefing
:04:17. > :04:20.risked prejudicing the inquiry. So far there have been two arrests
:04:21. > :04:22.from the investigation but they have no link
:04:23. > :04:25.to Sir Edward Heath. For now his life remains
:04:26. > :04:40.under investigation. Charlotte joins me now. Where is
:04:41. > :04:45.this investigation now and where does it go? The police have issued a
:04:46. > :04:48.detailed statement. They are keen to clarify that they have to fully
:04:49. > :04:54.investigate these allegations brought to them by victims and will
:04:55. > :04:59.do that without any fear or favour. Saying they will not be swayed on
:05:00. > :05:03.this investigation. They have said speculation that is happening in the
:05:04. > :05:06.newspapers is unhelpful to be investigation but they are yet to
:05:07. > :05:14.give us any clarification on how they may have got those details. We
:05:15. > :05:19.are ?890,000 -- there is ?890,000 that has been spent on theirs. By
:05:20. > :05:26.the end of the year, it could be more like ?1 million being spent on
:05:27. > :05:31.it. What I have been told by friends of Edward and MPs is that when that
:05:32. > :05:35.report comes back, they wanted to have a conclusion. He guilty of
:05:36. > :05:40.sexual abuse or was he not guilty? What they won't accept is a report
:05:41. > :05:46.that he is protected from the public eye or comes to no. We are getting
:05:47. > :05:53.breaking news that will ship a loose is -- Wiltshire Police are digging
:05:54. > :05:57.at two properties in relation to Christopher Halliwell. This is one
:05:58. > :06:06.of the largest investigations they have had to had to deal with.
:06:07. > :06:08.Progression is happening today. Sean memory had opened the investigation
:06:09. > :06:16.into whether Christopher Halliwell killed more victims. He killed Becky
:06:17. > :06:23.Godden and Sean O'Callaghan in 2011. He is serving life for those murders
:06:24. > :06:30.and he is serving a sentence. Questions about whether he could
:06:31. > :06:35.have killed more people. Today they have issued a statement saying that
:06:36. > :06:39.specialist officers are carrying out excavation work within the gardens
:06:40. > :06:45.of two properties in broad Street as part of their ongoing investigation
:06:46. > :06:48.being carried out by the major crime investigation team. This relates to
:06:49. > :06:51.intelligence that the force has received and they say they are
:06:52. > :06:55.unable to comment further. We will bring you more as we get it.

:07:58. > :08:01.she should have to be accompanied on leave. She shouldn't be allowed to

:22:08. > :22:14.of the series of stamps was designed by a man who is with this now. Ian,
:22:15. > :22:20.here is your fine painting that features in the series. You come to
:22:21. > :22:25.secure this amazing commission? I had done a series of paintings for
:22:26. > :22:30.the people that operated the trains for the Post Office. When I heard
:22:31. > :22:33.the post offers trains worth finishing, I recorded the scene
:22:34. > :22:42.inside the carriage of the men sorting them out. What is it like
:22:43. > :22:46.that? It is like going back in time. It is a fantastic atmosphere. You
:22:47. > :22:54.wouldn't have thought it was 2003 when I painted it. What does it mean
:22:55. > :23:01.to secure something like this? It is a great passion of mine and the film
:23:02. > :23:05.made in 1935, the great romance, the intrigue about the Royal Mail
:23:06. > :23:09.travelling through the night. There is lots of interesting stories about
:23:10. > :23:14.the people who worked on the trains. It is a very human thing and about
:23:15. > :23:20.the people. Was the poem running through your head when you are in
:23:21. > :23:27.this train? It did indeed. It is that rhythm that is picked up in the
:23:28. > :23:33.poem. You don't just paint train scenery. What else are you
:23:34. > :23:41.passionate about? I am a landscape painter. I also paint a lot of
:23:42. > :23:44.interiors, particularly public house interiors. I love the
:23:45. > :23:50.characterisation of the people drinking. That must be hard work
:23:51. > :23:55.with a pint in my hand. I never drink when I am painting. You have
:23:56. > :24:05.the stamps there, haven't you? Looking at them now, that picture is
:24:06. > :24:12.going to be immortalised. Are you happy with it? Delighted. It was
:24:13. > :24:17.2003 when I painted it. I painted it on is back. It wasn't a commission
:24:18. > :24:23.at the time but it was taken up by Royal Mail and present to the stuff
:24:24. > :24:32.that was sadly made redundant by the reorganisation. -- staff. What
:24:33. > :24:36.memory will you take from that train journey? Trying to paint at 90 miles
:24:37. > :24:44.an hour was difficult. When I stopped for ten minutes while they
:24:45. > :24:48.sort of the mail, it was heaven. Thank you very much for coming in
:24:49. > :24:51.and bringing the painting. Thank you.
:24:52. > :25:04.Good evening. We have some quiet weather for the next few days unless
:25:05. > :25:12.you live high up. Anywhere above 800 feet, there is a lot of low cloud
:25:13. > :25:16.and Hill fog. The saving graces it is relatively mild with temperatures
:25:17. > :25:21.around 12 Celsius. The possibility of some patchy drizzle around. We
:25:22. > :25:26.have one weather front that stretches in front of us. This will
:25:27. > :25:39.be a pain. Very slow-moving. This is it this evening. Tomorrow, even by
:25:40. > :25:43.Wednesday, it is still here. The low pressure brings us some windy
:25:44. > :25:49.weather on Thursday. Until then, we are into that mild westerly flow
:25:50. > :25:55.which means a lot of cloud and a fair amount of drizzle coming as
:25:56. > :26:02.well. A lot of low cloud and extensive hill fog and an unusually
:26:03. > :26:09.mild night. For tomorrow, we are expecting to see a lot of cloud in
:26:10. > :26:14.general. It stays pretty much overcast. There might be a few
:26:15. > :26:21.breaks in the cloud. A brisk westerly breeze and the temperatures
:26:22. > :26:24.getting up to 11 Celsius. I mentioned as we move towards the end
:26:25. > :26:32.of the week, a different feel to the weather. This is Thursday. Deep low
:26:33. > :26:36.pressure and brisk winds flooding in introducing lower temperatures. It
:26:37. > :26:40.will feel quite a bit colder through Thursday. By Friday, quite a nice
:26:41. > :26:45.day although Friday morning could stop with a touch of Frost. The
:26:46. > :26:50.general outlook towards the weekend is for us to cool down. Temperatures
:26:51. > :26:57.down to three Celsius on Thursday night. Also on Thursday, it will be
:26:58. > :27:01.quite a windy day with those wins coming in from the West which could
:27:02. > :27:05.be touching gale force through the Bristol Channel and the Somerset
:27:06. > :27:13.Levels. Colder and brighter into Friday. That is all from me. It has
:27:14. > :27:17.been milder. Shame to hear it is going to change. Good time for a
:27:18. > :27:24.train journey. Just in case you didn't get a real view of that
:27:25. > :27:29.stamp, here it is. It is absolutely beautiful. He described himself as a
:27:30. > :27:36.modern Impressionist and you can see that. Beautiful. Amazingly, he has
:27:37. > :27:44.had no formal training. Quite incredible. He had to pay that at 90
:27:45. > :27:47.mph. Pretty good. Pretty steady hand. Thanks for watching. Goodbye.
