home. meanwhile, gaza is not for sale. that's the message to president trump from pro-palestinian demonstrators here in san francisco. the protest was held outside the powell street bart station saturday afternoon. demonstrators accused the white house of sabotaging the ceasefire in place in gaza by calling for millions of palestinians to be moved out of the area. >> i would like to see a cessation of fire and the ability of palestinians to have dignity, and for them to have uh. the what i'm looking for is sovereignty on their land. >> trump said last week he wants the u.s. to take over the gaza strip, send the palestinians elsewhere and redevelop that land. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu said it was, quote, worth listening carefully to that idea. back here at home, napa's wine industry could be impacted by the layoffs of

maybe a dusting of snow. so mount shasta, extreme northern california, looking at the rainfall. very light rainfall and perhaps a maybe a couple hundredths up towards santa rosa and down through marin county. the coastline will give you a tour. here is live doppler seven. you see that lightning strike offshore, but we are looking at the light rain from cloverdale to santa rosa. highway 101 and right along the coast there, the marin county coast will go in closer from point reyes around marshall highway one, inverness. this is just a lot of farm country here. and also looking at olema, maybe a few sprinkles as we get into vacaville and i-80. so most of this north of i-80 moving into sacramento and just kind of fizzling out. so with the cloud cover, we have temperatures from the low 40s in livermore to the mid 40s from san rafael, 48 though downtown, all that cloud cover insulating us. so morning showers today looking at partly cloudy. a lot of clouds around

monday and tuesday, but we will be dry. our next opportunity for rain comes in on wednesday and it's another slight chance. and then we'll be looking at those showers once again, maybe a 10th to 2/10. here's a look at how what's going to play out today. so you notice through 6:00 it remains in the north bay. maybe a sprinkle over to the east bay. 8:00 you could see a few sprinkles just kind of moving through the bay shore. otherwise we're left with the clouds around and a somewhat mild afternoon. here's a look at the rainfall amounts. anywhere from a couple of hundreds there to a 10th up in santa rosa. so light activity throughout the early morning hours, and then we're left with a good deal of cloud cover. we take you out to the next seven days, and you'll notice that perhaps san francisco picks up a quarter of an inch upwards of a half inch in in santa rosa, and then maybe a 10th down in san jose. so no big impacts this week, just some light rain shower chances today. then again on wednesday, mainly

this morning. left with the cloud cover. upper 50s today low 60s. so this is kind of going to be the way we sit for much of the upcoming beginning of the workweek. and then as we get into the end of the work week. check it out. we've got much warmer weather. here's the accuweather seven day forecast looking at a chance of showers, mainly in the morning, mainly in the north bay, and then partly cloudy for the holiday. a mix of clouds and sun on tuesday. another chance of showers on wednesday and then as we get into thursday, friday and the weekend, we're well into the 60s, even 70 possible. that's well above average and i think we're due. stephanie. >> all right, not bad. lisa thank you. a reminder that you can watch all our newscast live and on demand through the abc seven bay area connected tv app. it's available for apple tv, google tv, amazon fire tv and roku. you can download it now and

>> about 80% of usd's $1.3 billion budget is staff, and so unfortunately, there will need to be some positions that are reduced for next year. >> teachers have protested the planned cuts. some educators say the district needs to prioritize the classroom and move away from focusing on administrative tasks and costs. s.f, usd officials say layoffs will all be in accordance with the law and contracts they have with teachers unions. in the south bay, a decision on school closures has been postponed by at least two weeks. the franklin-mckinley school district in san jose is looking at a list of six schools. the district appears to have settled on three to close, but they are looking for a total of five, and it was clear that there wasn't a consensus at the district's last meeting. the debate at times was heated. >> if we don't do anything right now, by january we will be bankrupt. we will not be able to

pay our teachers by next january if we do nothing. >> the two weeks will give the board more time to reach a final decision. each closure could save the district around $1 million. across the nation, amazon workers in north carolina won't be unionizing anytime soon. the warehouse workers overwhelmingly voted against the effort to form a union yesterday. in fact, more than 2400 workers voted against it. nearly 830 workers voted in favor of a union, which was only 25% of the vote, according to the national labor relations board, at least 30% of workers need to sign cards or petitions saying they want to unionize to be granted an election. well, if you're looking for a mood boost, it might be time to book your next trip. and as abc news reporter reena roy tells us, you don't have to wait until your travel dates to feel the effects. >> feeling those winter blues. although retail therapy can give us a quick rush, there might be a better way to spend your money

to lift your spirits. professor of psychology and host of the happiness lab podcast, doctor laurie santos, says studies have shown that buying an experience can bring you more happiness than buying material goods. >> so we've known for a long time that experiences like travel can make us happier. but a recent survey by united airlines found that 70% of americans report feeling happier once they book some travel. >> doctor santos says there's science to back this up. >> one of the reasons travel feels so rewarding is it helps our brains overcome what researchers call adaptation. that's just the fact that we get used to stuff. most people's vacations aren't long enough for you to get used to them. so unlike some material purchase like a new tech gadget or some clothes, you don't really get used to the benefits of travel over time. and that means that travel can have a kind of more lasting effect on our happiness. >> and we can get the happiness bump from travel even before we take the trip itself. she says that from the moment of purchase, the anticipation can boost your mood and the planning phase is uplifting too. >> we start thinking about, well, where should i go for

restaurant? what hotel am i going to stay at? what activities am i going to plan? all of that can feel really exciting. >> then there's the trip itself. >> of course, being on a glorious vacation feels amazing. >> and even once you're back home, the memories can spark joy. >> when we're thinking back, reminiscing with friends, looking at pictures that winds up making us feel good too, sometimes decades into the future. >> doctor santos says any destination can bring on the positive feelings. >> but research shows that novelty can also impact our happiness. so i often encourage people when they're asking about a booking boost to consider traveling to some new destination, which can be novel and make you feel even more psychologically rich over time. >> reena roy, abc news, new york. >> still to come on abc seven mornings. the trump administration continuing to trim down the federal government. thousands of irs employees now facing the chopping block. the plans for potential layoffs next week. plus, this is the weekend san francisco needs will take you to a huge street fair that celebrates
