Kidnapper ants raid other ant species' colonies, abduct their young and take them back to their nest. When the enslaved babies grow up, the kidnappers trick them into serving their captors – hunting, cleaning the nest, even chewing up their food for them.

DEEP LOOK is a ultra-HD (4K) short video series created by KQED San Francisco and presented by PBS Digital Studios. See the unseen at the very edge of our visible world. Explore big scientific mysteries by going incredibly small.

A miniature drama is playing out on the forest floor in California’s preeminent mountain range, the Sierra Nevada, at this time of year. As the sun sets, look closely and you might see a stream of red ants frantically climbing over leaves and rocks.

They aren’t looking for food. They’re looking for other ants. They’re kidnappers.

“It’s hard to know who you're rooting for in this situation,” says Kelsey Scheckel, a graduate student at UC Berkeley who studies kidnapper ants. “You're just excited to be a bystander.”

On this late summer afternoon, Scheckel stares intently over the landscape at the Sagehen Creek Field Station, part of the University of California’s Natural Reserve System, near Truckee, California.“The first thing we do is try to find a colony with two very different-looking species cohabitating,” Scheckel says.

“That type of coexistence is pretty rare. As soon as we find that, we can get excited.”

--- How do ants communicate?
Ants mostly use their sense of smell to learn about the world around themselves and to recognize nestmates from intruders. They don’t have noses. Instead, they use their antennae to sense chemicals on surfaces and in the air. Ants’ antennae are porous like a kitchen sponge allowing chemicals to enter and activate receptors inside. You will often see ants tap each other with their antennae. That behavior, called antennation, helps them recognize nestmates who will share the same chemical nest signature.

---Can ants bite or sting?
Many ants will use their mandibles, or jaws, to defend themselves but that typically just feels like a pinch. Some ants have a stinger at the end of their abdomen that can deliver a venomous sting. While the type of venom can vary across species, many ants’ sting contains formic acid which causes a burning sensation. Some have special glands containing acid that can spray at attackers causing burning and alarming odors.

From Jamaica to Ghana, Trinidad to Nigeria, and Barbados to the continent at large — Black nations are forging new alliances grounded in shared heritage, economic empowerment, and cultural pride.

In this video, Whitney Mckoy explores how these growing ties signal the rise of Pan-Africanism 2.0 — one rooted in direct diplomacy, joint economic ventures, and diaspora-driven unity.

💡 What does this mean for Foundational Black Americans (FBA)? Everything.
This is about building a global Black economy, reclaiming agency, and connecting our struggles — and our power — across continents.

We break down:
⚡️ Diplomatic partnerships between the Caribbean and Africa
💰 The vision for a united Black economic power bloc
✊🏾 How FBA, Caribbean, and African people can collaborate on the future
🚨 Why now is the time to get involved — economically, culturally, politically

👀 This is not just news. It’s our future.

👇🏾 TAP IN:
Which country in Africa or the Caribbean would you build with?
Do you believe in the dream of a global Black power network?

#afrikanmusiconly #blackmusicmagic

In this revealing video, we delve into the harsh realities surrounding the African Union (AU) and expose its shortcomings that have left millions of Africans questioning its true purpose. From the failure to protect the continent's wealth to the lack of unity among its member states, the AU seems to be more of a facade than a force for change. We discuss the failure of the AU to address critical issues such as the exploitation of the Democratic Republic of Congo's resources, the tragic assassination of Colonel Gaddafi, and the ongoing crises in regions like the Sahel, Somalia, and Sudan. Despite being a union, African citizens need multiple visas to travel across the continent while Europeans enjoy free entry. The hypocrisy and inefficiency are staggering.The video also covers the political failures, such as the constitutional coups in Uganda, the negligence during the Rwandan genocide, and the indifference toward the ongoing conflict in Ethiopia and Sudan. We question the role of the AU in maintaining peace and security when it fails to act on the continent's most pressing issues.Join us as we question whether the African Union is a beacon of hope or just a gang of greedy leaders who care more about their personal gains than the well-being of the people. This is a must-watch for anyone interested in the future of Africa.

Socialite Dayane Alcântara, a Brazilian and naturalized American citizen, was recently sentenced to nearly nine years in prison by a federal judge in Rio de Janeiro for the crime of using racial slurs against the 4-year daughter of a popular Brazilian couple.

‘Moussolou’ CD, LP & digital – https://worldcircuit.lnk.to/OumouMoussolouID

Acclaimed for its outstanding production, Oumou's first album established her as a major star in Mali and beyond. Its title translates as "Women" and many of the songs deal with her experiences as a woman in a male-dominated country that still embraces polygamy. Utterly modern and at the same time respectful of tradition, this is a powerful debut.

World Circuit Records have established their reputation by producing some of the finest world music albums of the past two decades, specialising in music from Cuba and West Africa. The label is best known for the GRAMMY winning Buena Vista Social Club album, which is the biggest selling world music album of all time, and led to the phenomenal rise in popularity of Cuban music. 10 years after their historic concert in New York, World Circuit release Buena Vista Social Club At Carnegie Hall.

World Circuit's African artists enjoy equal prestige, including Grammy winning albums from Ali Farka Touré and kora virtuoso Toumani Diabaté, Mali's 'star of stars' Oumou Sangare, afrobeat legend Tony Allen, and the great Orchestra Baobab.
