Up-to-date info from US city trial (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

latest

'up-to-date info' is the definition.
(the latest information)

'us city trial' is the wordplay.
'us city' becomes 'LA' (short for Los Angeles).
'trial' becomes 'test' (synonyms).
'la'+'test'='LATEST'

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for latest that I've seen before include "style of today" , "Most recent report" , "State-of-the-art" , "Most recent or tardiest" , "Most up-to-date" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
