this is philip hammond britain's new foreign secretary having served as defense minister for years he now be replacing william hague who's overnight resignation came as something of a surprise so who is philip hammond as minister of defense and british media dubbed him mr boring he was an accountant put in place to sort out the cash black hole that had been the british military he also figured prominently in the headlines citing his hardline conservatism and apparent opposition to the rights of sexual minorities but most importantly publisher and political activist david lindsay worries he's more ready for war than his predecessor very hawkish very bookish indeed even to bed william hague however the comment is not a particularly good record in the sense that he strongly opposed equally strongly to closed cuts in the defense budget but they happened anyways it doesn't seem to make a difference but he is very very you know and you can expect to see moral what would be many couldn't quite do in the kind of damage that he did do in respect of libya the media made much ado about what happ

what sort of signal does this reshuffle, in particular with the appointment of philip hammond send to us here in europe? >> well, in your report you touched upon several of the things that are most important. there are three. the first is that we are 10 months from the next general elections. so the new cabinet is the cabinet that will go into the election. that is why it it has been changed. that is why there have been more women appointed to reflect modern pretty an, to try and make the cabinet and government generally appear to be more in tune with society. but the third thing, and perhaps the most important thing for europeans, it reflects the developments with hagan hammond, is that this cabinet has moved significantly to the right. that is how they will move into the election because of the threats and because this cabinet will now reflect the views of many people in the current conservative government. so the question of haig is that he had become much less of a euro skeptic, and this is what happens to foreign secretaries once they realize that europe is in fact arguably the w
