title: simplepie not parsing google news rss feed
body: <p>This code works perfectly with any other rss feed but not with google news feeds. I do not know what I am doing wrong, I think it's some bug.
  I keep getting this error when I try to read google news feeds</p>
  
  <p><code>This XML document is invalid, likely due to invalid characters. XML error: SYSTEM or PUBLIC, the URI is missing at line 1, column 61</code></p>
  
  <p>For example if we try the <code>http://stackoverflow.com/feeds</code> feeds it works nicely, but not with google news feeds. Can some one give me a hint?</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php
  
      //get the simplepie library
      require_once('simplepie.inc');
  
      //grab the feed
      $feed = new SimplePie();
  
      $feed-&gt;set_feed_url("http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&amp;gl=us&amp;q=austria&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;output=rss");
      $feed-&gt;force_feed(true);
      //$feed-&gt;encode_instead_of_strip(true);
  
  
      //enable caching
      $feed-&gt;enable_cache(true);
  
      //provide the caching folder
      $feed-&gt;set_cache_location('cache');
  
      //set the amount of seconds you want to cache the feed
      $feed-&gt;set_cache_duration(1800);
  
      //init the process
      $feed-&gt;init();
  
      //let simplepie handle the content type (atom, RSS...)
      $feed-&gt;handle_content_type();
