SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- The Bay Bridge lights are back? Well, they are for now. A KRON4 traffic camera (view above) captured the Bay Bridge being lit up Sunday night during the 8 p.m. hour.After ceremoniously shutting down the lights one week ago last Sunday, the lights on the iconic San Francisco Bay Area landmark have come back on. At least temporarily. The lights are not supposed to be on, Illuminate CEO Ben Davis told KRON4. He says the lights are glitching out, turned on randomly and now they won't turn off.Illuminate is the nonprofit in charge of the Bay Bridge's lights. It has been raising funds, with a goal of $1 million, to bring the lights back permanently using 50,000 LEDs. Illuminate's plan is to light both sides of the bridge and have them visible from Oakland and Alameda.Before turning off last week, the Bay Bridge lights had been lit up for 10 years.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — Micronesia’s president accused China of “political warfare” in a letter to other national leaders and discussed switching diplomatic allegiance from China to Taiwan in exchange for $50 million.President David Panuelo said China had been using nefarious tactics, including spying and offering bribes, in an effort to ensure that if it goes to war with Taiwan, Micronesia would be aligned with China rather than the United States, or would at least abstain from taking sides.Panuelo sent the 13-page letter dated March 9, which was obtained by The Associated Press, to state governors and other political leaders of the Pacific nation.The letter represented an unusually frank assessment of China’s motives in the region and laid bare the financial incentives for smaller countries to switch diplomatic allegiance.
