Where, abroad, Ed may be in the news (6)
I believe the answer is:
sweden
'where abroad' is the definition.
The answer is a location as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'ed may be in the news' is the wordplay.
'may be' is an anagram indicator.
'in the' is an insertion indicator.
'news' becomes 'swen' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'ed' with letters rearranged gives 'de'.
'de' inserted within 'swen' is 'SWEDEN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sweden that I've seen before include "Its capital's Stockholm" , "land" , "4's neighbour" , "Stockholm's country" , "N. European country" .)
