bayoh retaliated and punched nicole short, who went down.er contact with bayoh and that officer? no. he was running off. kevin says he saw the events unfold over a garden hedge and had bayoh's upper body in his sights. you saw bayoh100% of the time during his altercation with nicole short? yes. and just explain again what you saw. i seen him swinging punches towards her. and then what? then he ran off or attempted to run off. kevin's account is supported by the cctv. the footage is grainy but we are able to identify the two key points of the incident. we can see nicole short knocked down here and the action appears to immediately move away and within five seconds, sheku bayoh is brought down and restrained here. when the officers eventually provided statements to pirc investigators, 21 days after the federation first spoke to the media, two of them described a violent stamping attack on nicole short. those officers were known as officers b and c. they are pcs craig walker and ashley tomlinson. both describe, in very clear detail, sheku bayoh

he says he saw bayoh react to being cs sprayed by punching nicole short, but was immediately broughthe official investigators, pcs craig walker and ashley tomlinson claimed bayoh violently stamped on pc short while she lay on the ground with one saying he thought he'd killed her. that never happened. you're sure? yeah. what you're saying is that those accounts are false? yes. why are you doing this interview? it's not fair on sheku and his family that they've made the incident worse than it actually was to justify what happened, and that's. . . not right. we showed sheku bayoh's sister the allegations. it's making me really angry, because five years ago, the way they painted sheku to be, that's not who he was. no officer involved has faced criminal charges or misconduct proceedings, but questions over this case persist, and a full public inquiry is under way. the scottish police federation told us its members cooperated fully and truthfully with the investigations and maintains that it's seen compelling material the stamping attack did take place, but that the public inquiry was the

. >> yeah, there might be, nicole, but it's not going to be in the short-term.hat president biden does, he's got an incredible elaborate and an incredibly elaborate and seemingly effective idea about what to do it, but it's going to take time to get people vaccinated, and it will take time to build up herd immunity, and make sure that everyone is obeying the -- sorry, everyone is obeying the non-pharmaceutical interventions. so you can imagine what this must feel like. first of all, this new team, the biden/harris team, comes into office. they start pulling back the covers, and they see a trove of incompetency and dishonesty. they should have been hitting the ground running, because they can appreciate what might have been done but wasn't done. now they have to play catch-up, and it's just a tragedy. you know, it's not just that we might well hit 500,000, which i think we will in terms of fatalities. i think by the summer, we'll have 700,000 or 800,000 fatalities. and not to mention, we have the concerns about the new strains or variants of the virus. >> what do

nicole, i say, amen. and the american people should say amen. you have the shortion created when the trump administration made so many people eligible but had no vaccines. that, we're going to work through. the president saying a 16% increase and states can count on that for 3 weeks, that gives us certainty. but what the president is saying is, look, to vaccinate 300 million people, you need 600 million dosages, assuming the two dosage pfizer and moderna. they didn't buy 600 million doses, and he is going to acquire 600 million doses by the end of the summer, and the honesty is, this isn't over until we vaccinate, herd immunity, critical mass, so it's not over until the summer. that's competent government, professional government, the federal government doing what it should do. frankly, the federal government should have bought 600 million dosages months ago. because that was always the number, 300 million times 2. so, now you're going to have the supply, and the honesty is, you're not going to have the supply tomorrow. it is going to take six months to do this. t

amount of time when you're thinking about the short-term goal of getting this figured out as best as we can ahead of inauguration. but to your point, nicoleere's a lot more digging to be done and a lot more time to be invested in this over the coming months to really figure out the extent to which folks on the inside were or were not involved. we know, based on reports and updates yesterday, that 10 to 15 capitol police officers are under investigation for their behavior during the january 6th attacks. the behavior is pretty broad. we don't really know what that means, what level of coordination they had had online or offline or otherwise, for how many number of weeks that was going on. so, it's going to take a really long time, and i think it's a question of how much people want to get to the bottom of this after it's not a current news story. >> we will stay on it here. ashley parker, alexi, thank you so much for your reporting and for starting us off this hour. jason is sticking around. >>> when we return, the lies donald trump continues to tell about the siege at the capitol, underscore the need to root out disinformation of all shape

nicole? >> that's right, norah, in fact just a short time ago former president barack obama and his wife formerma arrived. we also saw former president bill clinton and his wife hillary clinton. at this point we're seeing another arrival coming. we'll keep an eye on who this might be but certainly a matter of time before president-elect joe biden and vice president-elect kamala harris arrive here at the capitol. typically they would go through this carriage entrance you see behind me but instead they will go up the stairs of the capitol and they will be flanked by capitol police in honor of those officers who lost their lives in the january 6th riots. this will also be a significant moment for the president-elect in that this really will be the last time he will enter the capitol, not just as a former vice president, but also as a former senator who served here at the capitol for 36 years, and, of course, when he exits here on the east front following that swearing-in ceremony, he will, of course, be the 46th president of the united states. many norah? >> nicole, thank you. nicole was just ment

nicolle wallace. tomorrow, we have special coverage as congress certifies the electoral college vote, that starts tomorrow 9:00 a.m. eastern right here. but up next, "andrea mitchell reports" starts after a shortgia where two contests will determine who controls the senate and president-elect biden's ability to confirm his cabinet and future judicial choices as well as passing his top priorities. democratic candidates jon ossoff and raphael warnock need to improve their margins from the november election in order to defeat republicans david perdue and senator kelly loeffler. the races are so important, both president trump and president-elect biden campaigned in georgia yesterday and last night. >> the power, the power is literally in your hands, unlike any time in my career. one state, one state can chart the course not just for the next four years but for the next generation. >> each of you is going to vote in one of the most important runoff elections in the history of our
