here with health hazards at the beach, dr. david samadi.talked about it here. death by lightning seems unfortunate to the 19th degree. how common is this? >> number one, i want to make sure people don't avoid the beach. it's fairly safe and we want people to enjoy. but obviously if there's a thunderstorm out there and lightning, you want to make sure you get out of the beach. water a conductor. you can get massive shock if it hits you. that shock can hit your heart and all the chambers of the heart can go out of sync and you can have a cardiac arrest. it is the biggest shock you can get. get out of the water. >> not even wet sand; correct? >> exactly right because water is a great conductor. it can affect you. if you have a car, getting getting -- get into your car because that is connected to the land and can get rid of a lot of the lightning threat you have. go out there but use common sense. that's one of the reasons as a urologist i'm covering the beach and water stuff. >> people think run under a tree. that could be one of the worst pl

dr. strong lang from david cameron and phillip hammerin.n editorial saying that this incident may have the consequence of having the eu completely re-assess its relationship with russia and he urged other eu nations to consider harder sanctions. so a lot of language, in particular out of dolondon, a sense of anger and frustration toward the kremlin not om for support for the separatists but for what they accuse of kremlin of being obstructionists and trying to get an international effort on the ground. >> the dutch are leading the outrage over bodies and how they have been treated. what's the foreign minister saying, one? and, also, 30 australians say on this plane. what's australia saying. >> the dutch lost the most people. they are furious about that. we have heard strong language from the dutch prime minister and the fortunately minister on the ground in kiev has made some strong language about the way the bodies are being treated. you mentioned australiaians. we have heard strong language from the australian prime minister. just recentl

david cameron is expected to .romote more women from more i'm joined by dr. robert ford from manchester. what prompted this massive reshuffle? >> it is worth noting that david cameron's government has been stable. there have been few reshuffles over the past four years. the conservatives are not winning enough support to secure a majority. the prime minister is setting out his stool to the election ampaign, looking to bring in lot of fresh faces and to signal what kind of government he were to lead were he to win next year. it's certainly true that some of the people who have been stepping down have been at the moderate's end. i do not think it has been a consistent massacre of the moderates. i think that is in part with people within the pm's office looking to send a message to the right wing of the party, which has been somewhat discontented that they're giving the right wingers a bigger role. there have been some moderates appointed as well. >> international audience is focusing on the departure of william hague. why is it that he has been pushed out? >> it
