Doctor paused taking temperature for latest news (7)
I believe the answer is:
updates
'latest news' is the definition.
(up to date information)
'doctor paused taking temperature' is the wordplay.
'doctor' is an anagram indicator.
'taking' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'temperature' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'paused' is an anagram of 'updaes'.
'updaes' placed around 't' is 'UPDATES'.
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for updates that I've seen before include "Revises to current status" , "New versions" , "Moves with the times" , "latest reports" , "Brings to current status" .)
