Are to edit and deliver a speech (5)
I believe the answer is:
orate
'deliver a speech' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'are to edit' is the wordplay.
'edit' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'edited' mean this).
'are'+'to'='areto'
'areto' is an anagram of 'ORATE'.
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for orate that I've seen before include "Deliver a speech" , "Make a formal address" , "Erato (anag.)" , "Speak pompously and at length" , "Lecture" .)
