Current example in New Street covered by press (3,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

jet stream

'current example' is the definition.
(jet stream is a type of current)

'new street covered by press' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates an anagram.
'covered by' indicates putting letters inside.
'press' becomes 'jam' (synonyms).
'street' with letters rearranged gives 'etstre'.
'etstre' placed within 'jam' is 'JET-STREAM'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for jet stream that I've seen before include "Strong westerlies" , "Upper atmosphere current" , "flow behind aircraft" , "High-altitude, high-speed wind" , "High atmospheric westerly current" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
