це - "фіди" №5 і №7 (1400GMT i 1800GMT), роздруківки кадрів і текстів, які журналісти Рейтеру дають в свої розсилки по телекомпаніях усього світу. Багато телекомпаній подають свої міжнародні випуски на базі інформацій, наданих Рейтером (Рейтер часто критикують за тенденційність і монополізм в галузі міжнародних новин).

Нижче розписані основні "шоти" (кадри, які знято) і синхрони в перекладі на англійську мову, а також "сторі" - основний матеріал, на базі якого пропонується робити новини (ліниві журналісти часто так і роблять).

Звернемо увагу на те, що в першому фіді не повідомляється про масовані примушення людей голосувати, подається про-офіційно, квазі-збалансовано (з синхронами Кучми і Януковича), про Донецьк розповідається в абсолютно позитивному ключі. В той сам час другий фід вказує, що при екзіт-полі Ющенко отримав більше голосів і не говорить про фальшиві екзіт-поли, контрольовані владою (або ФЕПом Павловського).

читайте і аналізуйте!

STORY: Outgoing Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma voted in presidential elections on Sunday (October 31). It is a contest set to determine whether the ex-Soviet state intensifies traditional links with Moscow or begins looking towards the West.
The election is tantamount to a referendum on the decade in office of Kuchma, who is backing his prime minister, Viktor Yanukovich.
Kuchma said he was casting a vote for stability. "I want to stress one more time that I voted for stability and not just voting, but I have done everything to prolong and continue the stability (in Ukraine), the outgoing president said.
Though it cast off Soviet rule 13 years ago, Ukraine remained subject to heavy Russian influence in the campaign. Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin visited Kiev in its final stages and endorsed the premier's record of high economic growth.
Yanukovich was among many early voters in Kiev.
"I voted for the future of Ukraine because I think that we must
guarantee the future for our children and this future must be in safe
hands," Yanukovich said after casting his ballot.
Of the 24 candidates running for the presidency, Yanukovich and his main challenger the Western-leaning liberal Viktor Yushchenko, are expected to go through to a second round of voting on November 21.
With the two rivals even in opinion surveys, neither was likely to get the 50 percent needed for a first-round victory.
Yanukovich stands for closer integration with Moscow and the solid economic growth posted under his stewardship was endorsed this week by visiting Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Yushchenko accuses authorities of plotting to rig the election to
secure victory for the prime minister. He has charged Kuchma's team of plundering Ukraine in the interests of business clans and wants to move gradually closer to the West.
Yushchenko told reporters after he cast his vote in Kiev: "I want
to live in a proper country where the leaders are honest, where people are not afraid of their leadership but respect them. I want to live in the country where the journalists are not intimidated; I want to live in the country where the human rights and laws are respected, where there exists an honest judicial structure; I do not want my children to know what a criminal government means and what does the shadow economy means and (what is the meaning of) authorities who are unable to protect the national interests of the
country."
In the coal mining region of Donetsk, Yanukovich appeared to be the most popular choice for the presidency. He was governor of the region until his appointment as prime minister in 2002.
The prime minister's stewardship of the economy in the last two years has persuaded voters in the area, lacking investment since the collapse Soviet Union, that he will be the right choice.
Polling stations for 37 million eligible voters remain open until 8 p.m. (1800 GMT). Results of an exit poll will be announced soon after, with returns coming in overnight.

STORY: Two polls, conducted by Ukrainian research institutes, put
Western-leaning Viktor Yushchenko ahead of Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovich, who is backed by Ukraine's establishment oriented towards neighbouring Russia.
But both leading candidates fell short of the 50 percent needed to win outright in the first round.
According to one poll, in which respondents concealed their identity, Yushchenko scored 45.2 percent to 36.7 percent for the prime minister. Another survey, in which voters were identified, gave
Yushchenko a tighter lead, 41.98 percent to 40.11.
Election observers said many voters, wary after a bruising campaign, were reluctant to reveal their identities. Official returns from the contest, with 24 candidates in the running, were to start coming in later on
Sunday.
The election, the most hotly contested of post-Soviet times, offered Ukrainians the stark choice of intensifying traditional
links with Moscow or gradual movement towards the West.
Each of the two leading camps had accused the other of trying to
subvert the election. The United States and the
European Union voiced concern at some aspects of the campaign and called for a clean vote.
Both hopefuls know the importance of good ties with Russia, Ukraine's giant neighbour which ran its affairs for 300 years,
but big differences in policy and philosophy divide them.
