david: so you went to columbia law school, and your law degree is from columbia, correct? justice ginsburg: yes. david: and you did extremely well at columbia law school in the review there, as well. justice ginsburg: yes. david: so, from the harvard law review and the columbia law review, you were flooded with job offers from the major law firms? [laughter] justice ginsburg: there wasn't a single firm in the entire city of new york that would take a chance on me. i have said i had three strikes against me. one, i was jewish. and the wall street firms were just beginning to welcome jews. then i was a woman. but the absolute killer -- i was a mother. because my daughter was four years old when i graduated from law school. so employers who might take a chance on a woman were not prepared to take a chance on a mother. david: so, one of your law professors, professor gunther, got you, after many efforts, a clerkship with judge palmieri. justice ginsburg: yes. david: was that easy to do for him, because you were a mother? justice ginsburg: he had no qualms about a woman. he had

staying in columbia is also not a good solution. >> we know that returning refugees from columbia are required to self-isolate, but how realistic is that? >> it depends how you see it. the self-isolation is not something thehe refugees arare g to do. their journey doesn't stop at the border. it might be not even halfway ththrough theheir journey b bece they havave to go fromom the bor to their respective homes. what the government is doing is puttining people inn quarantnti. we've heard witnesses and we have s seen vidideos of these quarantine centeters and thehers no senatator in controlol, peope arare being stufuffed together r the woworth health c circumstan. there is no running water in these centers and no access to food. >> that is a t terrible situatin either way you look at it. joining us tonight from bogotÁ, thank you. >> a court in the us elegant -- italian city of florence has sentenced traffickers for up to 16 years in prison for smuggling nigerian women to italy to work as sex slaves. the investigation was in part due to reporting by dw news. our reporters learned of the

[applause] the big hurdle was to get that first job. then she did it at least as well as the man so the second job wasn't the same obstacle. there's a wonderful book what they mention it first and it's about the biography of sandra day o'connor. she was very high in her class at stanford law school. maybe there would be a place as a legal secretary. so what did she do, she went to an attorney at is that i will work for you without pay for four months and then if you think i'm worth it, you can put me on the payroll. that is how she got her first job. >> that even after the clerkship, you couldn't get a job in the law firm. you ended up being a law profession. >> i could have

he called a columbia graduate called [inaudible] who was a columbia undergraduate, columbia law school graduate and always took his clerks from columbia. he would say i strongly recommend that you engage ruth bader ginsburg and his response was i've had women law clerks and i know they are okay but she's a mother and sometimes we have to work on weekends and even on a sunday. the professor said give her a 'tchance and if she doesn't work out, a young man in her class was going to a downtown firm and he will jump in and take over. that was the carriage. it was also a stick and the stick was if you don't give her a chance i will never recommend another columbia graduate as a clerk again. [applause] that is the way it was in not so ancient days for women. the big hurdle was to get that first job. once a woman got the job she did it at least as well as the man so the second job was not the same obstacle. there is a wonderful book and let me mention it is called first and it is about a biography of the sandra day o'connor. she was very highan in her class at stanford law school but no law f

i also served as the dean of columbia law school from 2004 to 2014 which i mention for a very particular reason. i was a dean when the professor joined our faculty and one of my proud moments when we persuaded her to do that. so i'm honored to kick off what i know will be a fascinating discussion about the influence oof the influence ofeurope on tl marketplace. last year "the wall street journal" called the decline of europe a force in world affairs the most consequential shift of the last 100 years and there is some truth in that since world war ii military influence of europe is certainly declined, and it's also true the economic growth has been compared favorably with that of the united states or for example with china or india. and of course efforts to maintain an economic union have been more complicated greatly as we all know. but still, i think professor bradford sees things a little differently and in her book the brussels effect of the european union rules the world which is here and also back there and you must have a copy, professor bradford argues that it remains a critically

what reaction has there been in columbia to this decision by the government? reporter: it is a decision that was expected. it is coming not only after two inmates have died, it is also coming almost a month after some of the worst riots columbia has ever seen inside prisons. . particular in the capital 23 inmates died. 83 people were wounded during those riots, which shows just how bad overcrowding is in prisons. not only here, but across the country. there were expectations for a decision to come from the government. there were talks for up to 15,000 inmates to be released or sent home -- to home detention. the government decided this will be for 4000 of them for at least six months, at least for now. this is definitely something that was expected inside the prisons, were tensions remain high, fearing a possible spread of the covid-19 disease. >> thank you. hour,to come in this half trying to find the truth in occupied east jerusalem. why coronavirus infection numbers could be twice the published rate. plus. dame's great bell rings again a year after the cath

like a blind taste test in fact they did a study like this at columbia. the heroin user can't tell which is which and if you ask them which they like a little bit better they actually rate the oxycodone higher than the heroin so when we talk about opioid painkillers we are essentially talking about heroin pills. no the world has an interest in keeping its citizens locked up solid a. new virus will go by this restrictions will remain i think it's a. fair idea governments of the world very much interested in listing this for stretches they are evidently and presumably scared of doing

and for more on this i'm joined by adam to use he's director of the european institute at columbia university and is closely following this debate. out of so crowded and sort of has stolen the spotlight of a lot of this debate but really a massive growth in the e.u. budget it looks like isn't this a win for those who believe in a more fiscally coordinated e.u. and i think it will depend very much on the details of what emerges from the package only 6 of my own will can then subsequently be agreed between the governments i think it's worth remembering that this meeting was billed as make or break i think it's that it's a little hard to see it as an anticlimax to be honest because this sort of the clash on the bones of this proposal on the other hand from the point of view of those who do not think i get your lies ation all debt and finance within the e.u. it's also a relief in a sense the new and no one knows it was in fact a commitment to the expansion of the budget a very considerable expansion of the bucket everything i think is probably still to play pool at this moment. does this mean tha

i went to columbia. when i was there before women were allowed my entry class was 650 students as i learned as a graduate student working in the office, when applications came in they were put into one of three piles. one is the five borough of manhattan, second a radius of 50 miles of new york city to take in the suburbs in connecticut, westchester and new jersey in the third pile was the rest of the world. i was in the third pile because i lived 100 miles from new york. columbia did not want to be a new york city school and they easily could have filled the entire class from the bronx so they filled up one third of graduates from the bronx. but that was only the first part. columbia had a football team. not very good but then harvard was a very good either the reason is ivy league schools don't give athletic scholarships you needed somebody to put out there or the basketball team or the baseball team or tennis or debate they ran a student newspaper that solicited ads to put out a paper five days a wee

>> so the race that we found on the columbia campus are pretty similar to the rates that have been shown at campuses across the country so we found by graduation that one in three women had experienced nonconsensual sexual contact is not always great. it can be unwanted touching but that can be very scary. and about one in six men had experienced nonconsensual sexual contact so that from the survey, not from the ethnography and those are the numbers that have been shown in survey research across the country and i think it's important to note that the rates of sexual assault are higher for women in the same age group who are not in college that there's a lot of attention on women in college and they're easier to survey because they're all in one place. of assault are lower for men are out of college but those are the numbers. >> i have a follow-up. so you mentioned that there are two instances in which you had a senior and there's a freshman and you wright said that because of the ongoing unequal power dynamic that that could lead to cases in which some people think they are entitled to s

ali vitali in columbia, thank you. meanwhile, from south carolina to georgia, georgia's governor also plans to reopen some businesses starting friday. so far more than 20,000 known cases of the virus, more than 800 people have died in georgia. now a number of mayors there are speaking out against the governor's decision. i want to bring in one of those mayors. atlanta mayor keisha lance bottoms, a democrat. you told chuck todd on tuesday at that point you had not spoken with the governor about the decision to start reopening businesses on friday. have you talked to him last night or talked to him today? >> i have not talked with him today, but i did receive a call from his chief of staff to my chief of staff that the governor did want to talk over the next couple days. so i do appreciate the call and look forward to having that conversation with him. i'm deeply concerned about where we are in this state. >> on the same date that the governor announced the guidelines for reopening the state, you created your own advisor

smaller than the district of columbia. let us hope that we wanted to add that $700 million in this bill. unfortunately we couldn't get agreement on that. i think that was penny-wise and pound-foolish for those of us who want our constituents to visit washington to see their government. we also must include more help for state and local governments. they have been on the frontlines of fighting this scourge. as a result have spent a lot of resources they budgeted for other issues, including employees, including police and fire and health workers. we need to do that. we wanted to do it in this bill. but those of you who argue for delay i will bet you you're going to vote in the next tranche for additional state and local help. aybe not all of you. why you're delaying that help is beyond me. this by the way is not an abstract accounting problem. we are talking about states and counties across the country being able to keep teachers, first responders, as tax revenues collapse due to the necessary social distancing. this pandemi

-sadr, professor of epidemiology and medicine and icap director at columbia university discusses the latest responses in the u.s. coronavirus pandemic. then, thomas frank discusses how the army corps of engineers are responding to the pandemic. and illinois congressman danny davis on how the coronavirus has affected a chicago district and state wide in illinois. watch c-span's "washington journal," live at 7:00 this morning. join the discussion. russian president vladimir putin delivered an address on the government's response to the coronavirus pandemic. he said he was extending the week long no work order to april 30. he said workers will still regular wages. speaking russian] translator: friends, my fellow russians, the week i announced as the nonworking week is coming to an end. this is a very tense schedule that we are seeing doctors, nurses, still working. all the medical staff of health institutions. they are all struggling. ward, every infectious hospital, they are on the front lines. they are treating and saving people. they prevent -- general prevention. and i'm sure that a

plus a lot of columbia students doing what she needed to get into and had an socialize much in general and was excited for college wanted to go to parties and drink and be popular. she and one of her roommates met two seniors and they were so excited to be getting attention from seniors. so they boughtin them drinks. the bouncer had that freshman and with their fake ids because that's what they do they lead in the pretty girls in when they don't have good fake ids. they bought them drinks and lucy was pretty drunk and excited to hang out to one - - with scott so they stumbled up during the warm summer night. he is a college student they lost the key they stood outside waited to be let in and eventually the other girl catches up with lucy she wanted to keep her safe and keep an eye on her friend clearly something would happen with the guy. so scott and lucy going to the fraternity with a friend scott asked the girl if they want a drink. they say yes. in the fraternity alcohol is kept on the second floor so they respond to that by keeping it upstairs. so he makes some drinks the friend p

it's unconscionable that the district of columbia on these fronts is not treated like a state. as well, the hospitals are going to get relief. hospitals are losing money because they're not doing elective, high-paying surgeries to make room, of course, for the covid-19 cases. so, there is some relief coming. but the unemployment comp is still a state-by-state procedure filled with red tape. and a lot of people aren't getting it. >> and we should say, listen, this is a gargantuan undertaking that our government is faced with, and we're not saying that there is wrongdoing. we're not saying anyone is out to get anyone else. but there's certainly no one size fits all solution. and with every day that passes, we're putting small businesses in a worse position. they don't have that kind of capital to just carry their business on and on. and the reason the restaurant example is really important, there was a lot of outrage out there saying why do these very successful people get the money? we should really look at this, andrea, in terms of what businesses have been most affected? if yo

according to an american progress center report, only nine states in the district of columbia currently require at least one year of government classes in high school. the lack of concentrated civic curricula in schools violates a basic principle of american government, the educated citizen. >> the founders of american democracy understood the power and knowledge go together. if you want to have your little particle that is citizenship, you need to empower yourself with education. >> the consequences of the decline in civics classes are harrowing. >> let me start with another analogy. when you learn to drive a car, your parents did not simply hand you the keys to a ferreriari. the engine is very powerful. democracy is like that, too. what having the instruction course and car manual does for you is give you all the tools you need to know of how things are supposed to work. that's what civic education does. definitely. it helps you understand the purposes of things but also the grander scheme of things. >> how are youth expected to become stewards of our democracy when they are not even

and we're doing such trials add columbia and elsewhere. i certainly hope this is proven to be an effective remedy it would make me feel better to have something else to offer, i have been pushing hard on plasma therapy, we're close to getting that through the fda. lou: that is encouraging. i know tha that -- work continu. we know of one patient signed up for that experiment, i guess i could call it. shows great promise, as you have pointed out to us from the beginning. even pre-your own experience. personal experience with the coronavirus. your thoughts tonight. when we're told by dr. birx and dr. fauci and corona task force, birx said if it goes right we could see 200,000 deaths, this is beyond sobering, your thoughts. >> well, i think that is a projection. with all caveats associated with projections we hope that is an upper bound, one thing i can say, fact that president hasek 10ehasextend that president whee keep things under wraps, i applaud that, it is courageous and important. we're trying to do, everyone knows that flatten that cur
