rachel: yeah. what is interesting here is that what he was saying privately he was also saying out loud publicly. he was saying it rit after the election. he was saying it in an effort to overturn his election loss. and what it is isust flat out lies. but it shows you the lengths that the former president was willing to go to try and convince everyone around him, from his supporters to aides to people inside of the white house, to get on his side, to join his team, to have this idea of loyalty, to back him. and there's going to be outrage over it. we're seeing that outrage spill out on capitol hill and it's adding to this sort of desire to really investigate and get to the bottom of it. but again, all of this is becoming very political now. and where you have republicans that are eager to sort of turn the page and move on, eyeing the mid-term elections when they're trying to win back the house and the senate. yamiche: all of that and ryan, when i think about what rachel is pointing out here, there'

>> yeah, rachel. there's a variety of mixed emotion that -- that i and many other afghan-war veterans are experiencing. it started when the president announced the withdrawal, a couple of months ago. i had another moment, when i saw that last flight leaving bagram airbase, last week. that was a base where i have spent a lot of time in my life in the past. and again, today. so, there is a lot of emotion. and i agree with the president, wholeheartedly. that it's time to bring our troops home. that doesn't mean we're going to abandon afghanistan. doesn't mean we're going to, you know, leave them to their own against the taliban. we'll continue to support them but we just can't continue to do this. you know, a lot of -- so many americans have left their lives, their loved ones, pieces of themselves and pieces of their heart in afghanistan. and -- and i, certainly, can sympathize with that. so it's a difficult time. but it is time that we focus on what we can do in the next couple of months. what we can do

rachel says that he repeatedly intimated her in that time. i would go to events, and as soon as he was there, i had to leave. i was in, at an event, and everyone that i was with watched him walk past me and put his hand on my lower back as he walked past, even though he's not allowed to talk to me. there's an end—of—exams christmas ball called daft friday. he came from across the room and stood shoulder—to—shoulder right next to me. just smirked, didn't say anything. it took the university five months to investigate rachel's allegations, and she says she only learned the outcome after pressing them for an answer. the university's investigation was inconclusive, but the bbc understands paddy everingham was given an official warning. nearly a year and a half later, holly says she is still waiting for the outcome of her complaint. so, i made that complaint, and i was never contacted again by the university to say how the investigation went. so, you made your own complaint in 2020, and you never heard anything after that? i've not heard a

after rachel made her formal complaint, holly followed suit. and this wasn't the first time the university had been made aware of concerns about his behaviour towards female students. disclosure has learned that a member of the student representative council spoke to a senior university official in may 2019. they alerted the official that they were aware of concerns about paddy everingham and said they were worried about the safety of women on campus. a few weeks later, we understand paddy everingham was spoken to informally by the university and that no further action was taken at that point. despite this, when formal complaints were made against paddy everingham, the university decided not to suspend him. he continued as gusa president and remained on campus while the complaints were investigated. rachel says that he repeatedly intimidated her in that time. i would go to events, and as soon as he was there, i had to leave. i was in at an event, and everyone that i was with watched him walk past me and put his hand on my lower back as he walke

when you first heard what rachel nichols had said, what ran through your mind? >> first, i thought invasion of privacy. she did not expect her conversation to be overheard. she was expressing frustration over a lost opportunity that she thought she deserved. the fact that was aired i believe is very inappropriate. that's the first thing that happened. the second thing that came to mind, the question about what many african americans including my company and i experience is that people make a presumption because the pendulum is swinging to become much more equalized in america. that somehow african americans get their opportunity mainly or primarily because of their race and the desire to create a more equitable society. and that marginalizes us as business people and professionals. so those two things. and both, one is clear-cut and one is a little more complicated. >> yes, i agree. and subject to a lot of different interpretation. for what it's worth, what i heard was rachel nichols saying, hey, i get it, espn has a poor track record on diversity. and i myself

i understand what rachel— want to come back in? i understand what rachel is _ want to come back in? i understand what rachel is saying _ want to come back in? i understand what rachel is saying about - want to come back in? i understand what rachel is saying about young i what rachel is saying about young people, but i don't feel any envy towards people that can now go and travel. probably more so than i can. we have to start somewhere, we have to stagger this a little bit because if we try and rush it to quickly, i think it'll make it more difficult. there has to be a balance with this, in my opinion. there has to be a balance with this, in my opinion-— in my opinion. talking about those countries might _ in my opinion. talking about those countries might be _ in my opinion. talking about those countries might be allowed - in my opinion. talking about those countries might be allowed to - in my opinion. talking about those countries might be allowed to go l in my opinion. talking about those l countries might be allowed to go to, other countries will look at these 30,000 cases an

let's get back to rachel. the president was pressed if there would be consequences for russia after this conversation, after this agreement, or encouraging conversation was the word that they used to describe it, in which president putin seemed to acknowledge that he might have to take action in his own country. but if no action, the president said there will be action from the u.s.? > reporter: that's exactly right. the president tonight making it very clear that there will be consequences for that latest cyberattack. a senior administration official says that they will not be telegraphing what action they plan to take, but we can expect it to come in the coming days and weeks. that phone call between the two leaders lasted for nearly an hour, and i'm told the president delivered a very strong message that russia has the responsibility and must crack down on cyber criminals in its own country. but the biden administration is not expecting things to change overnight. they say that this will take time, but they
