BBC World Service - The World This Week, May snaps back

The UK prime minister stunned the EU by saying it was meddling in the general election.

Theresa May accused EU politicians and officials of interfering in the upcoming general election.  The charge followed hostile briefings to European - but not British - news media after what seems to have been a rather difficult meeting in Downing Street.  London correspondent Rob Watson and Damian Grammaticas in Brussels discuss what comes next.
