The problem is that the Date is incorrect.  That problem is shown in the error message at the top of the pane.

The "Sat" date abbreviation is misspelled.  They are using "Sut".  This is certainly not an RFC 822 date, as called out in the RSS spec.

That being said, we have continuously made the date routines more permissive about a wide range of date formats.  One thing that has kept us from mis-recognizing things is that we assume the month, day-of-week and alphabetic time zone are at least spelled correctly.  Making that one assumption allows us to correctly recognize most things a human would recognize as a date.

((Note that we recognize about 60 time zone identifiers))

I haven't done an exhaustive study, but this is the first time I have seen day-of-the week misspelled, but otherwise in its proper place.

Before I put in yet another kludge for this particular site, could you try contacting the webmaster to correct the problem?

i looked thru his xml code and checked the days of the month\year on a calendar and always on Sat the person uses "Sut"

could that be "Sat" for his country?

Update

I have found many web sites that use "Sut" for Sat
