A think tank claims a tenth of all Britain's Islamist terrorists come from a small area of the Midlands.

The report by the Henry Jackson Society says terrorist convictions have doubled in the five years up to 2015 - with east Birmingham being a hotspot.

It comes on the day that Ch Supt Matt Ward speaks out for the first time since being appointed as the new head of the West Midlands Counter Terrorism unit.

I've asked him why there has been a larger proportion of convicted terrorists from Birmingham and the West Midlands.

He said: "Countering terrorism is always going to be more than pursuing individual terrorists. It's about challenging radical ideologies, integrating communities.

"In the West Midlands an incredible amount of time, effort and resource has gone into making sure we build those links."
