is using them effectively. in all cases, but the report stating they do not have all the information necessary to conclude if in fact international law was broken because of the type of conflict that is unfolding in gaza. all of this being released as the idf closes in on rafah, where more than a million gazans are seeking refuge or safety. friday, our george stephanopoulos interviewing biden's national security adviser about what could happen if rafah is invaded. >> what would happen if they went in? well first, because there's a million people there in very close quarters who've been pushed there because of the military operations in other parts of gaza, you would have really significant civilian casualties. >> the report ordered by president biden was mandated by national security memorandum 20 to examine the use of u.s. supplied arms in active conflict zones. derek dennis, abc news, new york.

see them from anywhere, creston said. >> the northern lights, which are officially called the aurora borealis, are spectacular for when you can see them. and the reason this event is so exciting is because it doesn't happen very often. >> there are a lot of things that happen in your life where you miss it. you go, oh, i'll see tomorrow. i'll do it tomorrow. this is not one of those things. >> san francisco resident elisa yao first saw the shimmering display on a trip to abisko, sweden, when it was -20 degrees outside. >> it was totally worth it and i almost cried. and they look like green snakes in the sky. >> this photo was sent to one of the chabot astronomers from her sister, who lives in lexington, massachusetts. she took this photo around 8 p.m. eastern time at chabot space and science center. lauren martinez abc seven news in the north bay, a massive bird fighting bus that started as a different case. >> it began with rohnert park police investigating a burglary at a storage facility. they searched the suspect's home last

and we'll continue to do nation leading work across the spectrum . >> so here are the major takeaways from newsom's $288 billion budget plan. it proposes funding cuts to some 260 different state programs, including the jobs first and calworks programs. it cuts 10,000 vacant state jobs and eliminates $2 billion in broadband expansion, as well as 500 million that would have improved water storage for san francisco. public health nurses are set to hold a strike authorization vote next week. they're concerned about what they call inadequate and unsafe staffing levels at the city's hospitals and clinics. the san francisco department of public health runs s.f. general and laguna honda hospitals. the department says 166 nurses have been hired since december, and has plans to hire 50 more. well, there's a new push for a major overhaul of melatonin after a report found thousands of kids ended up in the er because they took too much. the supplement is meant to help people sleep, but

city managed to find a new operator. they're called california dreaming. the renovated park is set to open june 8th. >> the new operator has invested, a couple million dollars in infrastructure. they've made some some upgrades. resodded. the area, and some things to improve the customer experience, which to me is important because, for those of us who've been to the park, you know, previously, in the last couple of years, it needed a little bit of tlc, if you will. >> hey, and they are hiring. if you're looking, kali bunga is working on staffing up lifeguards, concessions and ticket takers for the season. they're also planning something special for opening day, so definitely something for us to look forward to. hey, and bhangra and beats night market is back in downtown san jose or san francisco rather. last night's event took up three blocks on battery and clay streets. live djs make south asian bhangra music with popular bay area genres to get people dancing, and it's part of the mayor's plan to activate downtown san francisco with more

valleys. high pressure situated to the north of us. and that is allowing for pretty good deck of low clouds. and that is creating some dense fog here from san francisco all the way down highway one, even up towards marin county. davenport we're looking at a dense fog advisory until 10:00. and from mount tam you can see how the fog there is across richardson bay, the sun coming up at 602. current numbers look like this. it is 50 half moon bay where you can't see anything at all. 53 in san francisco, oakland's 55, 58 in hayward, 59 san jose. and that sun setting at 807. so over 14 hours, seven minutes of daylight. and from our sutro tower camera there salesforce, you can see how foggy it is out there. 53 santa rosa 50 in petaluma. and looking at 57 in concord. by tomorrow morning you could see a little bit of cloud cover into our inland valleys where we get further cooling. so today, the warmer day of the weekend, it's going to be hot

inland. and then once again, the low clouds and fog could be pushing across the bay. and therefore we're looking at that cool down for mother's day. still very nice though. a mix of clouds and sun as you get towards the bay, but then full sunshine by the afternoon and we're looking at that cooler. one of the cooler days continuing into monday. here's a look at monday, where we'll be in the 50s in san francisco. so as that ridge breaks down for your sunday and monday, we're still looking at the upper 70s to low 80s inland. but then after monday, we begin that slow climb with warmer weather. tuesday, back into the mid and upper 80s inland, some 60s downtown 70 across the bay. so very pleasant. not as hot as we've had at the past couple of days. so today another warm one in the south bay, just about the same as yesterday, 86 in san jose, 87 in los gatos. it was 74, in santa cruz, a few degrees cooler today with the low clouds set up along the coast. 80 in redwood city, that sea breeze cooling you off 70 south city. definitely cooler from san

francisco up to the north bay, but still warm if you head up towards santa rosa 88 and on the bay shore, your 81 yesterday in oakland 76 today inland 86 san ramon and 90 antioch. so for mother's day, cooler. in fact, we'll look at temperatures from the upper 50s at the coast to the upper 80s inland. the accuweather seven day forecast, the summer-like spread today and then for tomorrow, we're going to cool it off anywhere from 2 to 6 degrees. and monday, another seasonal afternoon. then the warmth builds as we get into tuesday. wednesday. not too bad though. in fact, we'll look for temperatures was a little bit cooler than average, but inland still those 80s returning. >> zach looking like a nice day. lisa thank you. and speaking of when we return mother's day deals the big day tomorrow. what you can buy on sale. we're also celebrating aapi owned businesses, so we'll be

which is just under about 3000 gallons per second. it will be up to do 6000 cubic feet per second, or about 4000 5000 gallons in this new building outside of the tunnel will slow the energy of all that water as it flows into the coyote creek. >> this should dramatically reduce flooding like we saw in east san jose seven years ago. >> if this project had been in place in 2017, we would not have seen the flooding we did there. and this project is so important and so big that it reaches all the way into alviso and phase one is almost done. >> the next step will be using specialized drilling equipment to install the final 350ft of pipe, which will complete this very important tunnel. >> what we're really celebrating here is a milestone that gets us closer to a completed project, but also creates a high level of safety. in the interim, making sure that communities that are living along this creek aren't negatively impacted as the construction is going forward. >> by next year, this tunnel will be diverting water around the dam and out of the reservoir. so the seven year
