donald trump has had a conversation with malcolm turnbull and he has a p pa re ntly with malcolm turnbullapparently said i spoke to merkel today, and believe me, she wishes she did not do it. this is about opening the door to a large number of immigrants. what do you make of this? i think you are right to say it is as told by donald trump, so there is always a bit of a health warning on that. a conversation between him and the australian prime minister. it is donald trump saying, he had been told this by angela merkel. it feels right, whether she would have admitted it to the american president i don't know. do they have a very close relationship! talking about angela merkel when there are all those people from across the mediterranean and syria and other places, i think she felt we must be generous, germany must be generous and open our doors. i think it is one of the few mistakes she has ever made, caused an awful lot of trouble and tension and problems in her own country. she is now regretting it, ithink in her own country. she is now regretting it, i think a lot of people in britain w

that is when news of the contentious call between himself and malcolm turnbull first broke. the president said, quote, thank you prime minister of australia for telling the truth about our very civil conversation. that fake news media lied about. very nice. not the case. let's talk about all this. sabrina is with us, political reporter for "the guardian." david sanger, also national security correspondent for the "new york times," and cnn military and diplomatic retired rear admiral john kirby, a former spokesman for both the pentagon and the state department. sabrina, let's start with you. the biggest take away with this is that essentially the president is saying to pena nieto, listen, we'll figure out what's going to pay for this thing, it's going to come out in the wash, paraphrasing, but you know, stop saying you're not paying to the press. it's all about optics. >> it is indeed. and i think it's striking that for someone who fashioned himself as a candidate as a great negotiator, who is going to come in and strike deals with foreign leaders in a way that his predecesso

the us should accept refugees in australian detention centres, a deal that was struck between malcolm turnbulls rather angry. he goes onto say that he hates those people and guarantees they are bad. he said that he told mr turnbull that the conversation then was the worst he had ever had and he notes that one exchange that they had gone well. he said "i had a pleasa nt they had gone well. he said "i had a pleasant call with vladimir putin". also making news today: an air france plane carrying more than 330 passengers may have come as close as 100 kilometres to an intercontinental ballistic missile, which was launched by north korea last week. air france is extending its no—fly zone around north korea as a precaution. these were the scenes in tokyo when the world's largest fish market was engulfed in flames. the outer area of the market, which is crowded with small shops and restaurants, was worst affected. there are no reports of any injuries. and just take a look at this. hamburg zoo in germany has welcomed in four siberian tiger cubs. here are some of them making the their first public outin

in this conversation with malcolm turnbull, trump also said "you have brokered many a stupid deal in business and i respect you but i guarantee that you broke many a stupid deal." this kind of tough talk, is there anything to be gained by that with another world leader? >> look, you know, i am probably not the best person to defend or even interpret the president's sort of tactics in dealing with foreign counterparts. sure it is important sometimes to push a party across the table who you're negotiating with, even a close partner and ally, but what the president was seeking to accomplish here is not totally clear. he sort of conceded up front he was going to continue the obama era deal that had been made, the arrangement that had been made regarding migrants and proceeded to beat the australian counterpart up about that very same deal so it's not clear to me what the objective was. it didn't seem to be to change anybody's mind. >> got to get to the wall, because that was discussed on the call with the mexican president asking pena nieto to stop saying we will not pay. he says my posi

: the "post" also obtained the january 28 transcript of an even more explosive phone call of malcolm turnbull of australia, one of america's most closest allies. referring to a deal with the obama administration to take in refugees, mr. trump said, "i hate taking these people. i guarantee they are bad. they're not going to be wonderful people who go on to work for the local milk people." turnbull then told the president that "a deal is a deal," and "you are going to stick with it." soon after that, the president abruptly ended the call. we should note that in the months since those phone calls, the president has met with the leaders of australia and mexico, and the white house has described those meetings as >> announcer: this is the cbc overnight news. >>> a massachusettswoman faced as much as 20 years in prison for encouraging her boyfriend to kill himself. but when she was sentenced today, in a first of its kind case, she got a lot less. erin moriarty of "48 hours" was in the courtroom. >> this is a tragedy for two families. >> reporter: 20-year-old michelle carter showed little emotion as

because then the day after, the president had a conversation with the australian prime minister, malcolm turnbulla deal president obama had made with australia in which he would consider taking in 1250 refugees in detention centers in australia. here's what the president told turnbull. "here i am calling for ban where i'm not letting anybody and then we take 2,000 refugees. this is going to kill me. i am the world's greatest person that does not want to let people in the country. this is a stupid deal. this deal will make may look terrible." the prime minister basically said a deal is a deal. you've got to live up to it. the president said this is the most unpleasant call i've had today. my call with putin was much better. he abruptly ended it. your thoughts. >> >> it's remarkable course. in some ways not all that new, much of this had already been reported about this very testy phone call with malcolm turned, as i read it, he comes off as alternatively begging and pleading and then trying to play on trump's sense as a businessman. a deal is a deal and sometimes you have to stick with one that yo
