'of which the bad news' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'may be cabled east?' is the wordplay.
'may be' is an anagram indicator.
'east?' becomes 'e' ('E' can be a synonym of 'east').
'cabled' is an anagram of 'debacl'.
'debacl'+'e'='DEBACLE'

(Other definitions for debacle that I've seen before include "Lace bed (anag)" , "A sound defeat" , "Disatrous collapse" , "Catastrophe" , "Utter failure" .)
