Hello. Welcome to Inside Out. Here is what is coming up tonight: You

are all under arrest. For a -- sent home, at migrants are made to leave

for. Tom Hart Dyke tracks down some very rare plants. I have never seen

the Red Helleborine. Is there any way that today I could go in and

touch it? And from America with love. How one man that the family

The European Union allows free movement to people between member

states. Bognor Regis has attracted 20,000 migrants from Western Europe,

but the UK Border Agency has the power to enforce removal. We have

invited people in to prove that they belong in the UK. These people

are being interviewed in that room. They have breached their treaty

rights. All European people that three months to come into the

country, and in that three months, they have to be able to take care

of themselves. The people that we have invited in

are homeless street drinkers and people who have been involved with

minor crimes. We need those people to prove that they have been in the

country for either five years or less than three months. Some people

today will get some bad news. You are all under arrest. You have got

to come with us. When we get to custody you can get a Polish

speaker. But sending migrants home is usually controversial for --

hugely controversial. For the UKBA saying that this is a last resort.

With the help of a Polish police community support officer, this man,

Leonardo, tells us that it is getting harder and harder to find

So there are too many people and not enough work? Yes. Loads of

Europeans are wanting to stay over here. They prefer here than in

their own country. They live here. If they do not have a job here,

they have still got a better life than in their own country. One

gentleman came to England. He lost his job. He did not leave anything

to his family. They think that he is working but he lives on the

street. He asked me how he could go home without anything. He says that

they think he is working here. He doesn't work sometimes. He sent

them some money. -- he does work sometimes. He sent them some money.

He wants to send money to Paul and so they think that he has got lots

This is a rough sleeper and drinker who is well known to the police. He

has reached his as Bowe and has been put on a notice. This is the

breached within the last few months. He thought he was getting a coach,

this is what he says, but he actually ended up in the UK. He

thought he would stay. He has been offered a lot of support by

different agencies and he does not want to engage at all. Sussex

Police say they are trying to change how some Eastern European

people view the authorities. They are even using social media like

Facebook to get across the message that they are here to help, but not

always what the result that they want. In this case, a Polish

teenager is getting a dressing-down from the police because of

something he posted on Facebook. sent us a message on Facebook

saying that he will not talk to the police and back to anybody who does.

That is not helpful. -- and death are to anybody who does. It does

Europeans arrived in Bognor for back-breaking seasonal work. Many

of them send money home to their Farms could not do without this

work force who are happy to work for �250. This year it has been a

patchy start. They are only doing one day a week here or there. Most

of them understand that it is dependent on the work being there

to do. They are there to take the money back home or provide

themselves with a comfortable life while they are here. By a way from

the places that provide accommodation, there are those who

sleep on the streets. There are people who are leaving their

belongings behind. We have checked all of the names out. We are still

none the wiser. We go in daily to check on who is their 4th up -- to

check on who is still there. There is nothing of any value there so I

will leave it where it is. people work on the farms and they

prefer to save their money. It is about �50 a week. They sent it back

to their homeland. That can be quite a lot for their families. If

we think about one month, they could save about �250 a month for

that they can send to their families. The Border Agency says

that EU nationals who have been here longer than three months must

be working or studying or otherwise self-sufficient in order to stay.

He tells me that he has no papers and no money, but he is still

hopeful that he will not be forced back to his home country. About a

dozen or so people are at the police station in Bognor for their

meeting with the Border Agency which will decide if they have to

go back to Eastern Europe. Everyone seems desperate to stay, but it is

up to individuals to prove they can support themselves. I am diabetic.

I do not speak English well. I was told by my employee that I would be

able to work. They are waiting for me to come back to work as a

valuable team member. OK. So, what is the news forgers have? - No What

is the news for this man? -- White is the news for this man? Are you

everybody is as lucky as this man. Four out of five people are sent

home. A lot of the people we have seen this morning had been given a

lot of options and engagement from other agencies. It is a sad fact

that sometimes these do not work and we have to remove people back

to their home country. For this man it has not gone well. He is under

arrest and will be sent back to Poland. But because this is not an

official deportation, there is nothing to stop him going back, and

some critics believe forcing the you members back is illegal.

or two about some of the extreme lengths that some people will go to

find rare and extreme plaque. He missed his own life trying to get a

rare orchid in one ear. Welcome to my garden here at our family home.

Today I have the absolute privilege of for introducing you to some of

the most precious and unusual plants in southern England. Honest

admit, bringing a tear to my eye, I am going to be showing you the

darker side of the plant world. First I am going to be giving you a

mini-tour of my garden. There are 8,000 bracts from all over the

globe. -- plants from all over the Book of your teeth up at a

And don't I know it? I was even kidnapped and held hostage while

trying to find a rare orchid. Even in England, people can be just as

it obsessed. I am going to a top secret location where I will show

you one of the most rare plants in this country. All I can say to you

today is that we are in the children heel. Passionate good

Chiltern Hills. It is the pride and joy of the Berkshire,

Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Mi facing the right direction? I

have never seen the Red Helleborine. And it is fabulous. It has been on

the brink of extinction for the last 20 years. The is delicate and

very fussy or did only grows on We turned up one day, and all but

one of them had been cut off. was the.? I don't know. Certain

people just fill the one to deny the pleasure of it to certain

people. This thoughtless disregard for the Red Helleborine has had a

knock-on effect. Is there any way today that I would be allowed in to

see them up and actually touched them? You would have to knock me

out first. That is not on at all? Not at all. The Red Helleborine is

on a knife-edge, critically NJ -- endangered, sono. Could I suspend

myself in the air? I've got a zoom on my camera lens. The Wildlife

Trust is working with Kew Gardens to find ways of spreading the plant.

But this is the closest I will be able to get to the delightful Red

Helleborine. Next, I've come to this estate in

Suffolk -- in Sussex to look at this other rarity which was

targeted by collectors. What a fantastic place, look at that beech

tree, marvellous! Look at these delicate fronds. Fantastically

delicate. This is the tiny fern wishes all battered remains of a

plot that was ripped from the rocks. This whole patches where the firm

was. This whole packed? After it had been pulled off, there was a

bright white area of rock. How many were taken? I would have to say

hundreds. It is the equivalent of taking an entire forest, it grows

so slowly. Who was it, a specialist collector? I wouldn't want to guess.

I can't understand it. You have to know exactly what you are looking

for to find it. And there were bits that fell on the ground that he

managed to be propagate? Yes, not very much. We found a bit the size

of my head. We separated it into smaller chunks and located in

different places on the Rock. it Penygroes on the sandstone? --

and it only grows on the sandstone? Yes. It would never get a gold

medal at the flower -- at the Chelsea Flower Show, but it is a

gold-medal plant. It is a fantastic name. I am happy, seeing it for the

first time, it is very exciting. I am now on my way to find my third

and final rare plant which grows here and nowhere else in Britain.

I'm delighted that this plant has not been tampered with. The locals

are taking no chances. This I have found it. In the best

location in this country. The only place in the country to find it. I

am struck by how ornamental it is. The park was only discovered in the

19th century. -- the plant was only discovered. It is critically

endangered. This site is on the Isle of Wight. Look at those

flowers, that fantastic speckling. The petals are very ornamental

close up. The smell also intrigues me. Especially on the upper part of

the stem, but also on the leaves. They are minty scented. The wood

can amend was nearly lost altogether. Now it is making a

comeback. The habitat is being managed more sympathetically with

the help of the local Natural History Society. We got the seed

under licence and scattered it here. We Tom sponsored other seeds from

the local area and the following year, we had a nice show which was

the impetus on getting it to take it elsewhere in the side. You have

saved one of the rarest plants in the country from extinction. It is

fantastic. In your capable hands, Imagine growing up not knowing one

of your parents and then discovering you had a whole new

family on another continent? That happened to one American man whose

journey brought him to the south. Ted being and his wife are waiting

for an American cousin. Terry Byng is coming by sea to meet his

British family. It is almost unbelievable. Because as far as the

American family were concerned, his family never had -- his father

never had any more children. Terry Byng grew up in America never

knowing his father or his Portsmouth family. Terry's family

John went to America during the Second World War where he met and

married terry's mum, Nancy. But a few years later, Jack, as he was

known, left Nancy and returned to Portsmouth. When his father came

back from America, his father waved another Banana about. We have never

seen a Banana! You know what it means? The last 25 years have been

a blank spot in my life. I have always wanted my children and

grandchildren to know the side of the family we have never known.

is not unlike his father. His father used to wear a hat like that

when he was bowling. But you are taller than I expected. His father

was tall? About the same height. First visit on the day's agenda and

Ted is taking Terry and his wife, Martha to the dock where their

father had worked. All the dockyard people worked here and everybody

went in that way. That is really where your father went every day

for 45 years. Except when he was in America. Terry first found his

British family when he posted details of his British father on

the social networks site. About two years ago, my older son had gone

into Facebook and have found a thing called our family page. I put

a post on their about who I am and Portsmouth, and for two ears, never

heard anything. Fast forward a couple of years to a week before

Easter. I was on Facebook with my grandson and this name came up,

John Alfred. He was scrolling down a anti- scrolled past my post and

said, wait a minute! Go back. said to my grandson, house-trained,

my Uncle Jack, his real Alfrick -- his real name was John Alfred.

wife said there was a man on the computer trying to talk to us from

Portsmouth, he says he knows your father. You could have knocked me

over. I said, what are you talking about? She said, this guy wants to

talk to you. The first thing I did, was asked if he had any pictures.

Within five minutes came two pictures. Myself and my wife Gwen

said, my God, it's Uncle Jack! Because his mum told him so little,

Terry can only guess why his dad left her. My mother was a �90 a

red-headed Irish woman who had a temper like a bobcat in a burlap

bag. You did not want to be on the wrong side of that woman. From what

I know, my father had a short temper. They probably didn't get

along real good. Jack came back from the United States not knowing

his wife was pregnant. That is what I feel. So of course, Jack went on

with his life. He lived with his mother until she died. On the day

that he died, he came to our house and our mother opened the door, and

said -- and he said, mother is dead, can I stay with you for a few days?

He stayed 17 years. Until he died. Your father gave this to me, just

over 50 years ago, just after we were married. But I have only used

it once. It is always called Jack's camera. Jack died without him or

his family ever knowing he had had a child. In America, his son grew

up without a father. This is your father's camera. When I grew up

post-World War Two in America, everybody in a small-town had a

father. I was the one who didn't have one. Look where it was made.

Bingham town. We are terribly lucky. We have

family, cousins. He has never had anything like that. I feel so proud

to be with him. That was your father's it is now

yours. For him, it must be pretty

wonderful. He bought it in the States with your mother. Possibly,

the photograph that you have got was taken with that. He is 10 years

older, he has had a great life, and we don't have much life left but we

are going to try to spend some of it together. But we are off --

because we are family and family is very important to me, because I

didn't have a family. There is another few fund are here. --

Another viewfinder. OK, take the pictures now. Terry's dad Jack was

to me -- was cremated so there is no great to visit. They have come

instead to the grave of their grandparents, buried just outside

Portsmouth. Here we are. What about that, then? October 1953. Our

grande marque, 1957. Just before I went in the army. I'm very proud of

to be here with our grandparents, he and I together. Not many of us

left. This is a wonderful thing for us. After all these years, and for

me, 66 years of, to finally come to this place. Not the way I wanted to

meet my grandparents, but our family is united. Thank you, terry.

We are a family, now. That's all we have time for from

Bognor. See you next week. Next Monday, we Checkout cold

callers who claimed to have a great green investment opportunity.
