Kids and Yoga: Fit and Fun
专为儿童设计的瑜伽课程
These four and five-year olds are having fun while taking a yoga class, but it's not for adults, it's designed specifically for young people. They do a little rocking, a little stretching and learn new ways to breathe. And don't forget the strengthening.
这些四五岁的孩子上瑜伽课时趣味十足。不过这些瑜伽课并不是成年人的，而是专为儿童设计的。他们做了一些摇滚式动作，一些伸展运动，并学习了新的呼吸法。不要忘记强化和巩固。
"I need to do yoga, so my muscles can grow."
“我需要做瑜伽，这样肌肉才会生长。”
Instructor Cheryl Crawford says that whether you are a beginner or more experienced like these teens, that yoga first builds strength and flexibility.
教练Cheryl Crawford表示，无论你是初学者还是像这些青少年一样经验丰富的老手，瑜伽首先都会塑造力量和柔韧性。
"And then when you have the balance of strength and flexibility, that's when you're calm and you're calm but you have energy as well."
“当你达到力量和韧性的平衡时，当你内心平静时，你就会精力充沛，充满能量。”
And as with adults, yoga can help young people reduce stress.
至于成年人，瑜伽可以帮助年轻人缓解压力。
"So what separates yoga from any other form of exercises is the constant awareness of your breath and just by moving with your breath that just starts to get you grounded. Just by doing that."
“瑜伽和其他运动的不同之处在于一直意识到自己的呼吸，跟随呼吸的节奏来运动，让你从基本训练开始。”
These children end the class as it began. Now perhaps better grounded, but still having fun.
这些孩子的基础课程已经结束。或许现在基本技能更扎实，但是仍然能从中找到趣味。

CCTV9:中国寻找缓解老龄化新方法
China seeks new ways to cope with ageing pressure
中国寻找缓解老龄化新方法
China's rapidly aging population has posed enormous challenges to its pension system. In March, regulatory authorities approved a new house-for-pension scheme by an insurance company that is similar to a reverse mortgage loan. So far, 22 people in four pilot cities have signed up for the program.
If you are retired and find your pension inadequate, would you be willing to sign away the deed to your house in exchange for a guaranteed monthly income?
Mr. Kang and his wife Ms. Ma are the first couple in Beijing to say yes to this house-for-pension idea.
The couple, who lost their daughter tragically some years back, now get 9,000 yuan each month, over and above the pension they already receive.
Happy Life Insurance is the first company approved by the government to operate this scheme.
It is testing the waters and accepting applications in the four test cities approved for the pilot: Beijing, Shanghai, Wuhan and Guangzhou.
All participants must also be between 60 to 85 years old.
Those who are approved for the program receive monthly payments, based on the market value of their property, and their life expectancy.
Professor Dong Keyong specializes in pension systems. He says there are three main obstacles in the way of this new scheme gaining wider popularity.
First, is the traditional Chinese belief that parents should leave property to their children as an inheritance. Another issue is calculating life expectancy and how much will be paid, and for how long. It is also difficult to evaluate housing prices due to China's volatile property market and policy.
The United Nations estimates China will have nearly 440 million people over the age of 60 by 2050—around a quarter of the total.
That will push the already stretched pension system to the limit. And businesses and individuals may need to find their own ways to fill the gaps in the system.
For elders like Mr. Kang and Ms. Ma, joining the house-for-pension scheme can be a much safer way to ensure a decent life. But this program is not a one-size-fits-all solution. There are still many others in urgent need of financial support, and it is going to take time and testing to find an answer for everyone.

Euro zone countries divided on Greek bailout
欧元区针对希腊救助存在争议
Euro zone countries are divided, after Athens submitted a loan request to the IMF on Friday to unlock its third bailout since 2010. Germany is taking a hard stance on austerity, while other countries fear it may be insufficient to reignite Greece's economy.
Euro zone countries are still debating on whether the austerity measures would bring economic growth to Greece. While it worked in the case of Iceland and Ireland and helped these countries to regain growth, it wasn't as effective in Southern European countries.
Katseli believes the austerity measures were simply unsuitable for Greece's situation.Other experts also suggest that politics plays a big part of the negotiations. They say Euro zone countries did not want to help the left party in Greece to abolish austerity measures, as this would leave chances for the left party Podemos in Spain to rise to power.
