Broadcast about child ending in squalor — here? (4,3)
I believe the answer is:
skid row
'here?' is the definition.
The answer is a location as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'broadcast about child ending in squalor' is the wordplay.
'broadcast' becomes 'sow' (sowing is a kind of broadcasting).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'child' becomes 'kid' (synonyms).
'ending in' indicates one should take the final letters.
The final letter of 'squalor' is 'r'.
'kid'+'r'='kidr'
'sow' enclosing 'kidr' is 'SKID ROW'.
(Other definitions for skid row that I've seen before include "dingy streets" , "Vagrant slum" , "From very poor area" , "bad part of town" , "ghetto" .)
