LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Pittsburgh quarterback Eli Holstein was carted off the field and taken to a hospital with a left leg injury sustained while being sacked in the first quarter of Saturday's Atlantic Coast Conference game at Louisville. The redshirt freshman's left ankle was caught at an awkward angle beneath Louisville defensive end Ashton Gillotte's hip on a twisting tackle for a 4-yard loss at midfield. Panthers medical personnel rushed to Holstein's aid, with a cart arriving quickly on the field within minutes. Javascript is required for you to be able to read premium content.

Man City routed 4-0 by Tottenham in fifth-straight defeat as crisis deepens for Pep Guardiola What started as an evening of celebration for Manchester City ended with the four-time defending Premier League champion falling to a fifth-straight loss in all competitions and facing a deepening crisis in a season that is threatening to unravel. A 4-0 defeat to Tottenham left City five points behind league leader Liverpool, having played a game more. Two goals from James Maddison inside 20 minutes at the Etihad Stadium stunned the home crowd. Pedro Porro scored a third for Tottenham after halftime. Brennan Johnson added a fourth in the third minute of stoppage time. City manager Pep Guardiola signed a two-year contract extension this week. Chelsea, Arsenal and Brighton all won and closed the gap on Liverpool to six points. Florida knocks No. 9 Ole Miss out of College Football Playoff contention, 24-17 in the Swamp GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — DJ Lagway threw two touchdown passes, Montrell Johnson ran for 127 yards and a score, and Florida upset No. 9 Mississippi 24-17 on Saturday to knock the Rebels out of College Football Playoff contention. The Gators beat ranked teams in consecutive weeks for the first time since 2008 and became bowl eligible. The late-season spurt provided another vote of confidence for coach Billy Napier, who is expected back for a fourth season. Ole Miss lost for the first time in four games and surely will drop out of the 12-team playoff picture.

(AP) — Luke Altmyer found Pat Bryant for a catch-and-run, 40-yard touchdown pass with 4 seconds left, sending No. 24 Illinois to a wild 38-31 victory over Rutgers. Illinois was down 31-30 when it sent long kicker Ethan Moczulski out for a desperation 58-yard field goal with 14 seconds to go. Rutgers coach Greg Schiano then called for a timeout right before Moczulski’s attempt was wide left and about 15 yards short. After the missed field goal was waved off by the timeout, Illinois coach Bret Bielema sent his offense back on the field. Altmyer hit Bryant on an in cut on the left side at the 22, and he continued across the field and scored untouched. Andy Murray will coach Novak Djokovic through the Australian Open Recently retired Andy Murray will team up with Novak Djokovic, working with him as a coach through the Australian Open in January.

Formula 1 expected to expand grid to 11 teams as early as next week for Cadillac to enter in 2026 LAS VEGAS (AP) — Formula 1 is expected to approve grid expansion for an 11th team originally started by Michael Andretti as early as next week. The team will be called Cadillac F1 and powered by Ferrari engines when it enters the sport in 2026. General Motors is expected to complete its own Cadillac power unit ahead of the 2028 season. Multiple industry insiders spoke to The Associated Press about the grid expansion on condition of anonymity because an announcement ahead of Saturday night’s Las Vegas Grand Prix could potentially steal the spotlight from the showcase event on the F1 calendar.

On a day Air Force added recruits for the future, it saw one of the key players of the present slip away. Defensive back Linoln Tuioti-Mariner, a standout of the defense during the second half of the season, announced on Twitter that he will enter the transfer portal when it opens on Monday. Assuming there is not change of direction, the sophomore’s final game with the program was Saturday’s 31-20 victory at San Diego State in which he had 10 tackles — four for loss — as the team closed the year with its fourth consecutive victory. "I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the United States Air Force Academy football for an incredible journey over the last three years,” he wrote on social media. "This experience has shaped me in ways I’ll carry forever. “I’m truly grateful for my close friends and teammates who I’ve played with during my time at USAFA. It has been [a] journey that I will remember for the rest of my life.” Tuioti-Mariner went on to thank coaches — particularly Alex Means, Nick Toth and Brian Knorr — and friends and family. The departure of an established contributor is rare for Air Force football. Cadets can leave the academy without penalty until the beginning of their junior year. Because the Falcons almost never play freshmen and only occasionally see sophomores rise to featured roles, those players don’t generally see their stock rise at a time when they might be tempted to test the portal. Also, the cadet experience is frontloaded in terms of the most difficult parts, so many understandably feel invested and don’t wish to depart. But Tuioti-Mariner will certainly attract attention after averaging more than seven tackles over the final seven games with 6.5 TFL, a forced fumble, fumble recovery and two passes defended. The 6-foot-1, 215-pound native of Las Vegas who took a two-year church mission prior to joining the Falcons played the nickel or “spur” linebacker position in Air Force’s defense. Though the departure isn’t common in football, other sports have routinely seen players leave early — including 2024 NL Rookie of the Year Paul Skenes in baseball and current basketball players Jake Heidbreder (Clemson) and Rytis Petraitis (California). As movement in the portal becomes more frequent with fewer detriments to student-athletes, it could continue to become a hindrance for service academies that can lose players to transfer but not bring them in without that player starting over as a freshman with basic training. Others may be weighing the same decision. In a year marked by Air Force’s roster inexperience and then a rash of injuries that contributed to a 1-7 start, multiple young players saw action. Over the final stretch Tuioti-Mariner, quarterback Quentin Hayes, guard Alec Falk, outside linebacker David Santiago and safety Houston Hendrix were all starting as sophomores and fullback Owen Allen ran for more than 100 yards in a game.

UK startup PhysicsX, founded by former Formula 1 engineering whizz Robin “Dr. Rob” Tuluie, has unveiled an AI tool that could fast-track the time it takes to design a new aircraft from months to just a few days. Dubbed LGM-Aero, the software creates new designs for aeroplanes. Using advanced algorithms trained on more than 25 million geometries, the model predicts lift, drag, stability, structural stress and other attributes for each shape. It then tailors the design according to what you want your plane to do. PhysicsX said the AI is the first-ever Large Geometry Model (LGM) for aerospace engineering. A barebones version of the model, Ai.rplane, is also accessible free of charge. “This is a first step in transforming the way engineering is practised in advanced industries [like automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing],” said Tuluie, founder and chairman of PhysicsX. “Over time, we will bring new capabilities to LGM-Aero and Ai.rplane, allowing users to select powertrains, add controls and further content to reach mature designs in days rather than months or years,” he said. Tuluie wasn’t always an entrepreneur. For the first half of his life, he worked alongside Nobel Prize winners as an astrophysicist. Then, at 41, he entered the F1 scene where he devised designs that helped Renault, and later Mercedes, win four Formula One world championships between them. In 2019, Tuluie founded PhysicsX alongside Jacomo Corbo, a Harvard-educated engineer who ran McKinsey’s AI lab. Together, the duo have assembled a 50-strong team of some of the world’s top minds in data science, AI, and machine learning. PhysicsX, based in London, emerged from stealth in November 2023 with €30mn in funding. The company is on a mission to reimagine simulation for science and engineering using AI in sectors such as automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing. PhysicsX says it is looking to help engineers better anticipate design bottlenecks, such as the drag of a new aeroplane or car design before they set out on building a physical prototype — saving them time and money. Its software acts like a supercharged wind tunnel for ideas. “In the same way that large language models understand text, Ai.rplane has a vast knowledge of the shapes and structures that are important to aerospace engineering,” explained Corbo. “The technology can optimise across multiple types of physics in seconds, many orders of magnitude faster than numerical simulation, and at the same level of accuracy.” Corbo called LGM-Aero “an important stepping stone” towards developing physics foundation models. These are AI systems designed to simulate and solve complex physical problems by learning patterns from data and physical laws. Applying AI to complex scientific problems is gaining traction. In 2020, Google Deepmind’s Alphafold model famously cracked a puzzle in protein biology that had confounded scientists for centuries. The discovery has accelerated research in drug discovery, molecular biology, and bioengineering. Other companies, like Dutch scaleup VSParticle, are using algorithms to fastrack the discovery and synthesis of potentially game-changing materials . While the applications of AI in science may differ from discipline to discipline, the benefits are shared: artificial intelligence can supercharge scientific discovery by analysing data, simulating complex systems, and uncovering insights faster than humans ever could. So AI isn’t all about asking ChatGPT what to eat for dinner? No, dear reader, it’s a actually pretty big deal.Greek stocks ended slightly higher on the Athens Stock Exchange on Wednesday, with the market completing three consecutive sessions OM a rise, with the general index registering gains of 3.11%.

Although Matt Murray made a miraculous comeback this year, it's not been the easiest start and there are questions about how long he can keep playing in the NHL. After not having played in the NHL for 638 days, Matt Murray made his return this season and ended up victorious after battling through a bit of a shaky game. It was a great story of perseverance and showed how important the game means to him. But his second start went pretty badly, and he looked a few steps behind and didn't seem to look comfortable in the crease, something the veteran alluded to in his post-game comments: Could This Be The End For Matt Murray? Murray , a two-time Stanley Cup winner with the Pittsburgh Penguins, has enjoyed both a fantastic career and a struggling one. Exploding on the scene as a rookie, he helped backstop the Pens to back-to-back Stanley Cups and was poised to be the future after Marc-Andre Fleury. But as quickly as he succeeded, he faltered. After leaving Pittsburgh he went to Ottawa and suffered some pretty bad seasons. Quickly falling off, Murray was acquired by the Maple Leafs in 2022 and helped them in a pinch, providing solid goaltending behind Ilya Samsonov and Joseph Woll. Craig Berube had some sympathy for his veteran goaltender but also didn't mince words about his play, admiring his heart but acknowledging his weaknesses: Toronto doesn't have many options either. Besides Woll, they can turn to Dennis Hildeby again however he hasn't done well this year. Anthony Stolarz is still out for another month, so it's getting concerning very quickly. There's a chance they could bring in rookie Artur Ahktyamov to help but he's still adjusting to the North American game and could be risky forcing him in. It's a tough situation that the Maple Leafs need to figure out soon, because just as quickly as their goaltending brought them to the top; it can just as easily crumble and have the season crash down.

Just a few days into the 2024-25 basketball season, it looks like one of the state’s top girls teams is again coming from the Mt. Hood Conference. Clackamas' stellar class of 2025 is now full of seniors and is looking for another deep playoff run. Here’s a preview of the girls basketball teams in the Mt. Hood Conference, listed in alphabetical order: Barlow Bruins Last season: 15-11 Coach: Nick Hudson Key players: Rachel Jones, G/W, SR; Lizzy Weber, G/W, SR; Addi Knight, W/C, SR; Kinzie Hopkins, G/W, SR Outlook: After consecutive years of deep playoff runs, Barlow graduated several stalwarts ahead of last season and the Bruins were forced to reload with a largely entirely new roster. Despite the turnover, Barlow finished third in the Mt. Hood Conference, behind Clackamas and Nelson. Hudson likes the foundation last year’s given suddenly veteran group. “We have a solid core of returning players who have lots of varsity experience,” he said. “We should be able to score in a variety of ways from outside shooting, slashing to the hoop and scoring in post and paint.” Central Catholic Rams Last season: 11-14 Coach: Sandy Dickerson Key players: Nylah Jae Holt, G, SR; Katherine O’Leary, F, SR; Lillian Jordan, G, SR Coach: The Rams finished last season much stronger than they started it, eventually entering the state’s top 30 despite a 3-9 record in the front half of the season. The bad news is that the Mt. Hood Conference again projects as one of the state’s most loaded. Dickerson said the six-player senior group will lead the way this winter. Holt (second team) and O’Leary (honorable mention) have already proven to be all-conference caliber players. “We have a great mixture of inside and outside presence,” Dickerson said, “as well as defensive tenacity and speed.” Clackamas Cavaliers Last season: 24-4 Coach: Korey Landolt Key players: Jazzy Davidson, G/W, SR; Sara Barhoum, G, SR; Dylan Mogel, W, SR; Reyce Mogel, W, SR; Avery Peterson, G, SR; Allie Roden, G, SR Outlook: Heavy favorites to repeat as state champs last season, the Cavaliers stumbled in the semifinal game against Benson. Though they fell short of their own expectations, they project once more as a top-tier contender entering this year. Full of impact players who have been on varsity since they were freshman, and led by the USC commit and three-time Gatorade Player of the Year, Davidson, Clackamas is the state’s most talented team, featuring six collegiate players. “The group is fast and athletic,” said Landolt, “and plays with cohesion and chemistry. We look to push the ball in transition and apply pressure on defense, looking for our defense to create offensive opportunities.” David Douglas Scots Last season: 10-14 Coach: Aaron Hunt Key players: Coach did not respond to inquiry. Outlook: Coach did not respond to inquiry. Gresham Gophers Last season: 10-14 Coach: Alan Simpson Key players: Lily Schenk, G, SR; Sophia Cardelli, C, SR; JoJo Tubania-Askay, G, JR; Arielle Kagawa, G, SR; Rylee Gaffney, F, SR; Peyton Gaffney, G, FR; Skyla Hansen, G, JR Outlook: After logging their most wins since the 2016 season last year, there’s reason to believe the Lady Gophers could surpass that mark in 2024. An experienced, senior-heavy group has their sights set on the school’s first playoff berth in a decade, said Simpson. With a particularly deep guard group, Gresham should be able to play an up-tempo brand of basketball. Cardelli, the team’s center, is returning from a knee injury that cost her over half of last season. Simpson said she’ll be the focus of much of their half-court offense, and should complement the perimeter pieces nicely. Nelson Hawks Last season: 22-4 Coach: Kasima Knight-Hodge Key players: Love Forde, F, SO; Nylah Webster, G, SO; Sophia Gradwahl, G, SR; Tatiana Harris, G, JR; Simone Sideris, G, JR; Jasmine Nita, G/W, JR Outlook: After five years as head coach for the Westside Christian girl’s basketball program, Knight-Hodge inherits one of the state’s most promising young rosters at Nelson. The Hawks won their first nine games last season, one which ended in a second-round playoff loss to Benson. Nelson’s got four all-conference players back in the fold, including standout sophomores Forde and Webster, both of whom have multiple Division I offers already. They bring high-end talent to a roster which proved last season it was more than happy to win with gritty defensive performances. Reynolds Raiders Last season: 0-25 Coach: Torrey Nelson Key players: Mesaline Genes-Pantin, G/W, SR; Sofia Cordway, G, SR; Jorie Robertson, G, FR Outlook: After a winless season for the Raiders a year ago, the new coach Nelson is attempting to change the culture around the program. “The identity of our team will be lockdown defense,” Nelson said. “We will be a good defensive team that will play together and compete at our highest level.” While the roster is still taking shape, the coach expects seniors Genes-Pantin and Cordway (a David Douglas transfer) to be standouts, alongside the freshman Robertson. Sandy Pioneers Last season: 3-21 Coach: Matt Gist Key players: Laila Kitchen, G, SO; Katy Emerson, G, SR; Dahlena U’Ren, C, SR Outlook: Things aren’t getting any easier in the Mt. Hood Conference. Even so, the second-year coach Gist remains concerned with the bigger picture. “This program is working hard to leave a legacy that can be passed down to the next group players and so on,” he said. “While coaches build the high school program the coaches/players continue to build relationships with youth to make one big unit or as we like to call a family.” On the court, this year’s group is an athletic one. Emerson and U’Ren are talented senior captains, and Kitchen made all-conference honorable mention as a freshman.

Trump said Atkins, the CEO of Patomak Partners and a former SEC commissioner, was a “proven leader for common sense regulations.” In the years since leaving the SEC, Atkins has made the case against too much market regulation. “He believes in the promise of robust, innovative capital markets that are responsive to the needs of Investors, & that provide capital to make our Economy the best in the World. He also recognizes that digital assets & other innovations are crucial to Making America Greater than Ever Before,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. The commission oversees U.S. securities markets and investments and is currently led by Gary Gensler, who has been leading the U.S. government’s crackdown on the crypto industry. Gensler, who was nominated by President Joe Biden, announced last month that he would be stepping down from his post on the day that Trump is inaugurated — Jan. 20, 2025. Trump, once a crypto skeptic, had pledged to make the U.S. “the crypto capital of the planet” and create a “strategic reserve” of bitcoin. Money has poured into crypto assets since he won . Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency, is now above $95,000. And shares in crypto platform Coinbase have surged more than 70% since the election. Paul Grewal, chief legal officer of Coinbase, congratulated Atkins in a post on X. “We appreciate his commitment to balance in regulating U.S. securities markets and look forward to his fresh leadership at (the SEC),” Grewal wrote. “It’s sorely needed and cannot come a day too soon.” Atkins began his career as a lawyer and has a long history working in the financial markets sector, both in government and private practice. In the 1990s, he worked on the staffs of two former SEC chairmen, Richard C. Breeden and Arthur Levitt. His work as an SEC commissioner started in 2002, a time when the fallout from corporate scandals at Enron and WorldCom had turned up the heat on Wall Street and its government regulators. Atkins was widely considered the most conservative member of the SEC during his tenure at the agency and known to have a strong free-market bent. As a commissioner, he called for greater transparency in and analysis of the costs and benefits of new SEC rules. He also emphasized investor education and increased enforcement efforts against those who steal from investors over the internet, manipulate markets, engage in Ponzi schemes and other types of fraud. At the same time, Atkins objected to stiff penalties imposed on companies accused of fraudulent conduct, contending that they did not deter crime. He caused a stir in the summer of 2006 when he said the practice of granting stock options to executives before the disclosure of news that was certain to increase the share price did not constitute insider trading. U.S. Rep. Patrick McHenry, a North Carolina Republican and chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, said Atkins has the experience needed to “restore faith in the SEC.” “I’m confident his leadership will lead to clarity for the digital asset ecosystem and ensure U.S. capital markets remain the envy of the world,” McHenry posted on X. Atkins already has some experience working for Trump. During Trump's first term, Atkins was a member of the President’s Strategic and Policy Forum , an advisory group of more than a dozen CEOs and business leaders who offered input on how to create jobs and speed economic growth. In 2017, Atkins joined the Token Alliance, a cryptocurrency advocacy organization. Crypto industry players welcomed Trump’s victory in the hopes that he would push through legislative and regulatory changes that they’ve long lobbied for. Trump himself has launched World Liberty Financial, a new venture with family members to trade cryptocurrencies.

Salt Lake City, Dec. 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Intermountain Health has named Ryan Smith as its next chief digital and information officer (CDIO), following an extensive national search. He will begin his new role in early 2025. Intermountain’s search for a CDIO included a thorough recruiting process that involved internal and external partners who vetted candidates throughout the United States. Smith is a seasoned leader with deep roots in healthcare technology and an impressive portfolio of experience with Intermountain. He served in several senior leadership roles across the enterprise for nearly 20 years. He then held executive roles with Health Catalyst and served as senior vice president of technology and chief information officer at Banner Health. Following those positions, Smith returned to Intermountain as chief information officer (CIO) from 2020 to 2022 before joining Graphite Health as its chief operating officer. Ryan now serves as Graphite’s interim president and chief executive officer, advancing the nonprofit organization’s endeavor to make healthcare data more universal, accessible, and scalable. “This opportunity is deeply meaningful to me,” said Smith. “I'm excited for the opportunity to make healthcare an easier, safer experience for patients, members, and caregivers alike.” “I’m confident that Ryan is the right leader to help Intermountain successfully navigate both opportunities and obstacles as a model health system in the complex world of healthcare that lies ahead,” said Rob Allen Intermountain Health president and CEO. “He will lead DTS to support our mission, vision, and strategy to simplify, expand proactive care, and improve the healthcare experience for our caregivers, patients, members, and communities.” As Intermountain’s CDIO, Ryan will report directly to Dan Liljenquist, chief strategy officer. He will also serve as a member of the Enterprise Leadership Team. Smith will lead Intermountain's Digital Technology Services (DTS), including DTS Operations, Digital Services, Data Services, Clinical Informatics, Information Security, and Information Technology. Leaders of each team will report directly to Smith and will continue to serve on the DTS Leadership Team. ### Attachment Ryan Smith

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks tiptoed to more records amid a mixed Tuesday of trading, tacking a touch more onto what’s already been a stellar year so far. The S&P 500 edged up by 2 points, or less than 0.1%, to set an all-time high for the 55th time this year. It’s climbed in 10 of the last 11 days and is on track for one of its best years since the turn of the millennium. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 76 points, or 0.2%, while the Nasdaq composite added 0.4% to its own record set a day earlier. AT&T rose 4.6% after it boosted its profit forecast for the year. It also announced a $10 billion plan to send cash to its investors by buying back its own stock, while saying it expects to authorize another $10 billion of repurchases in 2027. On the losing end of Wall Street was U.S. Steel, which fell 8%. President-elect Donald Trump reiterated on social media that he would not let Japan’s Nippon Steel take over the iconic Pennsylvania steelmaker. Nippon Steel announced plans last December to buy the Pittsburgh-based steel producer for $14.1 billion in cash, raising concerns about what the transaction could mean for unionized workers, supply chains and U.S. national security. Earlier this year, President Joe Biden also came out against the acquisition. Tesla sank 1.6% after a judge in Delaware reaffirmed a previous ruling that the electric car maker must revoke Elon Musk’s multibillion-dollar pay package. The judge denied a request by attorneys for Musk and Tesla’s corporate directors to vacate her ruling earlier this year requiring the company to rescind the unprecedented pay package. All told, the S&P 500 rose 2.73 points to 6,049.88. The Dow fell 76.47 to 44,705.53, and the Nasdaq composite gained 76.96 to 19,480.91. In the bond market, Treasury yields held relatively steady after a report showed U.S. employers were advertising slightly more job openings at the end of October than a month earlier. Continued strength there would raise optimism that the economy could remain out of a recession that many investors had earlier worried was inevitable. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.23% from 4.20% from late Monday. Yields have seesawed since Election Day amid worries that Trump’s preferences for lower tax rates and bigger tariffs could spur higher inflation along with economic growth. But traders are still confident the Federal Reserve will cut its main interest rate again at its next meeting in two weeks. They’re betting on a nearly three-in-four chance of that, according to data from CME Group. Lower rates can give the economy more juice, but they can also give inflation more fuel. The key report this week that could guide the Fed’s next move will arrive on Friday. It’s the monthly jobs report , which will show how many workers U.S. employers hired and fired during November. It could be difficult to parse given how much storms and strikes distorted figures in October. Based on trading in the options market, Friday’s jobs report appears to be the biggest potential market mover until the Fed announces its next decision on interest rates Dec. 18, according to strategists at Barclays Capital. In financial markets abroad, the value of South Korea’s currency fell 1.1% against the U.S. dollar following a frenetic night where President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law and then later said he’d lift it after lawmakers voted to reject military rule. Stocks of Korean companies that trade in the United States also fell, including a 1.6% drop for SK Telecom. Japan’s Nikkei 225 jumped 1.9% to help lead global markets. Some analysts think Japanese stocks could end up benefiting from Trump’s threats to raise tariffs , including for goods coming from China . Trade relations between the U.S. and China took another step backward after China said it is banning exports to the U.S. of gallium, germanium, antimony and other key high-tech materials with potential military applications. The counterpunch came swiftly after the U.S. Commerce Department expanded the list of Chinese technology companies subject to export controls to include many that make equipment used to make computer chips, chipmaking tools and software. The 140 companies newly included in the so-called “entity list” are nearly all based in China. In China, stock indexes rose 1% in Hong Kong and 0.4% in Shanghai amid unconfirmed reports that Chinese leaders would meet next week to discuss planning for the coming year. Investors are hoping it may bring fresh stimulus to help spur growth in the world’s second-largest economy. In France, the CAC 40 rose 0.3% amid continued worries about politics in Paris , where the government is battling over the budget.

Greek stocks end higherJimmy Carter, the 39th president, dies at 100

French opposition lawmakers brought the government down on Wednesday, throwing the European Union's second-biggest economic power deeper into a political crisis that threatens its capacity to legislate and rein in a massive budget deficit. Far-right and left-wing lawmakers joined forces to back a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Michel Barnier and his government, with a majority 331 votes in support of the motion. Barnier was expected to tender his resignation and that of his government to President Emmanuel Macron shortly. The hard left and far right punished Barnier for opting to use special constitutional powers to adopt part of an unpopular budget without a final vote in parliament, where it lacked majority support. The draft budget had sought 60 billion euros ($63.07 billion) in savings in a drive to shrink a gaping deficit. "This (deficit) reality will not disappear by the magic of a motion of censure," Barnier told lawmakers ahead of the vote, adding the budget deficit would come back to haunt whichever government comes next. No French government had lost a confidence vote since Georges Pompidou's in 1962. Macron ushered in the crisis by calling a snap election in June that delivered a polarised parliament. With its president diminished, France now risks ending the year without a stable government or a 2025 budget, although the constitution allows special measures that would avert a U.S.-style government shutdown. France's political turmoil will further weaken a European Union already reeling from the implosion of Germany's coalition government, and weeks before U.S. President-elect Donald Trump returns to the White House. "We have arrived at the moment of truth," far-right National Rally leader Marine Le Pen said, adding that Barnier's austerity budget plans had been dangerous and unfair and would have meant chaos for France. The hard left France Unbowed (LFI) party demanded Macron's resignation. "With the no-confidence motion, all of the politics of Emmanuel Macron have been defeated and we demand that he goes," said LFI member Mathilde Panot. NO EASY EXIT FROM FRENCH POLITICAL CRISIS France now faces a period of deep political uncertainty that is already unnerving investors in French sovereign bonds and stocks. Earlier this week, France's borrowing costs briefly exceeded those of Greece, generally considered far more risky. Macron must now make a choice. Three sources told Reuters that Macron aimed to install a new prime minister swiftly, with one saying he wanted to name a premier before a ceremony to reopen the Notre-Dame Cathedral on Saturday, which Trump is due to attend. Any new prime minister would face the same challenges as Barnier in getting bills, including the 2025 budget, adopted by a divided parliament. There can be no new parliamentary election before July. Macron could alternatively ask Barnier and his ministers to stay on in a caretaker capacity while he takes time to identify a prime minister able to attract sufficient cross-party support to pass legislation. A caretaker government could either propose emergency legislation to roll the tax-and-spend provisions in the 2024 budget into next year, or invoke special powers to pass the draft 2025 budget by decree - though jurists say this is a legal grey area and the political cost would be huge. Macron's opponents also could vote down one prime minister after the next. His rivals say the only meaningful way to end the protracted political crisis is for him to resign, something he has hitherto shown little inclination to do. ECONOMIC PAIN The upheaval is not without risk for Le Pen, who has for years sought to convince voters that her party offers a stable government in waiting. "The French will harshly judge the choice you are going to make," Laurent Wauquiez, a lawmaker from the conservative Les Republicains party who backs Macron, told Le Pen in parliament. Since Macron called the summer snap election, France's CAC 40 benchmark stock market index has dropped nearly 10% and is the heaviest loser among top EU economies. The euro single currency is down nearly 4%. "The positive signals ... that were seen over the summer, partly due to the Olympics, are now a thing of the past," Hamburg Commercial Bank economist Tariq Kamal Chaudhry said. Barnier's draft budget had sought to cut the fiscal deficit from a projected 6% of national output this year to 5% in 2025. Voting down his government would be catastrophic for state finances, he said. Le Pen shrugged off the warning. She said her party would support any eventual emergency law that rolls over the 2024 budget's tax-and-spend provisions into next year to ensure there is stopgap financing.
