That's the current URL for their feed - it's just not valid.

It looks to me like it's just a case of an invalid timezone in the various 
date elements - should be "GMT" not "GMT+00:00".

The rest of the problems reported are just warnings. Nothing too serious, 
although the "Misplaced Item" warnings are interesting. That's the result of 
the channel description element being included at the end of the feed, after 
all the items. I'm curious what effect that'll have on feed readers.
