Hello and welcome to Business Matters.
I'm Rodgy Hereing.
On the programme today, a weaker jobs market in the US suggests the economy is doing less well.
But could that lead to interest rate cuts?
Also here from two businesses caught up in the tariffs chaos, Apple's latest tech is unveiled.
We'll tell you what it is and how a high murder rate is threatening tourism on a Caribbean island paradise.
And I'll be joined throughout the program by two guests on opposite sides of the world,
Takara Small, national technology columnist at CBC, who's joining us from Toronto.
So Takara, very good evening to you.
Good to you as well.
Good to have you there.
side of the world, Travis Patterson,
business consultant and director at Stratagraph, joining us on the line from Jakarta.
Travis, very good morning to you.
Hi, good morning to you.
Pleasure to be here.
Good to have you both there.
We start as we always do by getting a sense of what's going on where you are.
So Travis, tell me, I mean, we know that there's been a lot of,
well, protest demonstrations across Indonesia in recent times.
