Announces conditions (6)
I believe the answer is:
states
I believe this is a double definition.
'announces' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'conditions' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
(Other definitions for states that I've seen before include "Expresses in words" , "Administrative units in America" , "Conditions of American administrative units" , "Countries with a central government" , "Announces" .)
