SNAP changes, aircraft safety, Middle East conflict | Indiana Newsdesk

Coming up on Indiana Newsdesk:

Proposed changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program could mean less Hoosiers using the federal food relief program. Sugar drinks and candy are already ineligible for SNAP benefits in the state.

A recent rash of fatal accidents involving both commercial and private aircraft have left people wondering, is it safe to fly? The Indianapolis Airport conducted its mandatory disaster training this week.

We talk with a Middle East expert about the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran.

And Memorial Stadium will have a new football field when IU kicks off the season in August.

Indiana Newsdesk airs at 6 p.m. Fridays and 4 p.m. Saturdays on WTIU. You can also catch it on WFYI at 10:30 p.m. Friday, and 1 p.m. Sunday.
