She shows anger over a piece of news (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

irene

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'she' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'anger over a piece of news' is the wordplay.
'anger' becomes 'ire' (ire is intense rage).
'over' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a piece of news' becomes 'ne' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ire'+'ne'='IRENE'

'shows' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for irene that I've seen before include "Greek goddess of peace (English name)" , "- - Worth, actress" , "Peaceful girl" , "One can find a girl in Ree" , "Girl of peace" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
