spoke with hillary miller about the national road, built in the early 19th century to unite the east coast and the western frontier. it was the first federally funded highway and is still in use. this interview is about 15 minutes. >> what was the national road? >> also known as the cumberland road am a was our first federally funded highway in the united states. construction on the road began in 1811, although it had been authorized in 1806 by thomas jefferson. it originally ran from cumberland, maryland through virginia, now west virginia, ohio, indiana and illinois. its western terminus was in illinois. the state capital at the time. why was this type of project necessary? >> it was necessary because in the years following the american revolution, there was a major disconnect between the people living along the western frontier and those in the more established cities on the east coast. a lot of politicians and other important people noticed that there was a disconnect, and it worried them greatly. george washington was one of the people really concerned about western settlers who were

rain is running up and down the east coast, targeting the mid-atlantic. heavy showers now, an area we are watching stretching from ohio running into portions of the mid-atlantic, d.c. up to philadelphia. perhaps eventually new york seeing some of this rain as well. but those are heavy showers that have really brought some strong winds as a result. that's going to be our severe weather threat throughout the rest of the evening talking about cities like philadelphia, d.c. maybe getting up towards new york city. that's what we will continue to watch here the rest of the evening. arthel: lots to cover there in the extreme weather center. adam, thank you very much. >> yep. eric: this week there's new life for healthcare reform or so they say. the president issuing a challenge to senate republicans. what he's saying and whether a healthcare vote on tuesday really is on the horizon. what that vote may be on. we will have much more about healthcare and what we can expect at the top of the hour.

north korea has fired another ballistic missile off its east coast into the sea of japan. the 11th launch this year, although the range of this one seems much greater. south korea's military say the unidentified ballistic missile was fired from a site near panghyon. it came down in the east sea, the korean name for the sea of japan. in the past few days, president trump has been speaking to asian leaders ahead of the 620 summit, seeking their co—operation on north korea. in the last hour, japan has protested strongly, calling the launch absolutely unacceptable. in a moment we will hear from the chief secretary of japan's cabinet. but first, here is china's ambassador to the un. he has already warned of disastrous consequences if tensions with pyongyang are not eased. currently, tension is high, and we would certainly like to see a de—escalation of tension. because, if tension only goes up, and goes up only, then sooner or later it will get out of control, and the consequences would be disastrous. and i'm sure it is in our common interest to avoid anything like that. transl
