Hillel Center speaker canceled, eclipse cellular service, shortage of EMS workers | Indiana Newsdesk

Coming up on  Indiana Newsdesk:

At the urging of Indiana University, the Hillel Center canceled an appearance by the son of a Hamas co-founder who has been accused of Islamophobia. Hillel’s event went on as planned, but with a substitute speaker.

With upwards of 300,000 people expected to descend upon Bloomington for the eclipse, many are worried about disruptions to cellular service. Emergency management agencies are making contingency plans for the big event.

And we look at how the state is trying to make up for a shortage of Emergency Medical Service workers.

Those stories and the latest news headlines from across the state, Friday at 6 on  Indiana Newsdesk.
