New developments from city trial (6)
I believe the answer is:
latest
'new' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'city trial' is the wordplay.
'city' becomes 'LA' (Los Angeles).
'trial' becomes 'test' (synonyms).
'la'+'test'='LATEST'
'developments from' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for latest that I've seen before include "hot bit of news" , "most behind time" , "Most recent or tardiest" , "In vogue" , "News update" .)
