rosslyn jordan has more from washington. >> reporter: there are a couple of reasons why ash carter called on the members of the jcc and other middle eastern countries to do more militarily against i.s.i.l. the first is to try to combat the important acceptings that the u-- perception that the u.s. led air strikes against i.s.i.l. are really u.s. air strikes against i.s.i.l. al-qaeda wants to underscore the point that other countries have been taking part in the air war and certainly the countries that were there at the beginning, including jordan and the united emirates should be more involved, more engaged in trying to destroy parts of i.s.i.l.'s infrastructure and in terms of going after i.s.i.l. fighters. the other part is this, it's to push back against domestic political pressure here in the united states where a number of congressional republicans want to see a more robust u.s. military operation against i.s.i.l. both in syria and in iraq. carter's mission, before the senate armed services committee on wednesday was to try and persuade those there that the u.s. military could radica

the first example a most famous example is experiment that was done by the rosslyn institute in scotland where they wrought and dolly the sheep. dally was clothed cloned using a mammary tissue cell. at the same time, they got an egg cell from a different type, a different breed and remove the nuclear material, including all the dna from that xl. so they had some empty xl and put these things together, the memory and cells break open a material from that stressed out cell dumps into the egg. the protein in that xl can actually do some magic and cause that sell to regress, to go back to that early state where it has the capacity to become every type of cell in the body. then you have a different type and eventually dolly was born. this technology does work, it's not particularly efficient. dolly was one of nearly 300 different eggs they attempted to use in the process. it has been shown to work in different sequences. dogs, cats, rabbits, pigs and things like that. so how would it work with the mammoth? we find a well-preserved mammoth remover cell, then insert into an cell, does its magic

jeff goldberg is live at the rosslyn station. what was behind this? jeff: equipment malfunction. if you walk in the metro station for the first time today you would not know there was a problem with the machines. this has been corrected. much to the relief of the metro riders. the station managers and wmata. this is what we saw on the fare card machines all day today. cash only signs posted on the fare machines all over the place. they were not accepting credit or debit cards to add to smart cards. that was a major inconvenience. first, paper cards are practically all gone. many people do not carry cash. metro says this is due to equipment malfunction. they worked it out late today. probably an hour ago. when it was happening riders wither not thrilled. >> frustrating because it's in a hurry. like said there are bunches. jeff: the station managers were working to collect them and allow them to get out and get in. it would not do much. but thankfully for metro today people are off for the holidays so not as busy as usual. back to business. live in arlington, jeff goldberg, abc7 ne
