British Prime Minister David Cameron is getting a new team, after a major cabinet reshuffle.

Among the appointees -- Euroskeptics and women.

The shake-up comes ahead of a national election next May.

This was Cameron on Tuesday.

(SOUNDBITE) (English) BRITISH PRIME MINISTER, DAVID CAMERON, SAYING:

"Well I think it is a team that reflects modern Britain and it's only by reflecting all of modern Britain that we'll get the best for our country and I'm very proud of the fact that great talent has come through the Conservative ranks and you now see Conservative women occupying posts like Home Secretary, Education Secretary, Agriculture Secretary, Development Secretary, vitals jobs with really good people, doing their jobs to secure the future of this country and I'm very proud of that."

One of the big surprises was William Hague's resignation as foreign secretary.

Defense Minister Philip Hammond -- a known Euroskeptic -- will take his place.
