| 0:00.0 | Here's your midday brief for Wednesday, November 5th. I'm Zoe Colkin for the Wall Street Journal. |
| 0:10.1 | Payroll processing company ADP says the U.S. private sector added 42,000 jobs in October, more than |
| 0:16.6 | economists expected, and a reversal from job losses in September. But ADP says the rebound in hiring wasn't broad-based. |
| 0:24.6 | ADP says the education, health care, trade, transportation, and utility sectors are leading job growth, |
| 0:30.6 | while employers shed jobs in professional business services, information, and leisure and hospitality. The French government is moving to |
| 0:40.2 | suspend Sheen's website after authorities discovered sex dolls resembling children were being sold |
| 0:45.7 | on its platform. The French government says it wants Sheen, a Chinese-founded e-commerce giant, |
| 0:51.5 | to scrub its site of illegal items. Sheen didn't immediately respond |
| 0:55.1 | to requests for comment, but previously said it would remove the listings and take decisive action |
| 1:00.7 | against the sellers. Sheen is also today opening its first permanent store in Paris. It's not |
| 1:06.8 | affected by the online ban. And we're exclusively reporting, the Motion Picture Association sent Instagram parent |
| 1:14.7 | meta platforms a cease-and-assist letter, saying the social media platform's use of |
| 1:19.4 | PG-13 to describe its new teen safety framework is, quote, literally false and highly misleading. |
| 1:26.5 | The movie industry trade group's letter says its |
| 1:29.0 | movie rating system has earned decades of public trust and is not comparable to meta system. |
| 1:35.1 | Meta says it's trying to simplify things for parents and hasn't claimed or implied that its teen |
| 1:40.5 | accounts were officially PG-13 rated or certified by the MPA. |
| 1:45.8 | Heads up, an artificial intelligence tool helped us make this episode by creating summaries |
| 1:49.8 | that were based on WSJ reporting and then reviewed and adapted by an editor. |
| 1:54.6 | We'll have more coverage of the day's news on the WSJ's What's News podcast. |
| 1:58.5 | You can add it to your playlist on your smart speaker or listen and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. |
