The part in which we are really interested has been highlighted: we
want to import the various entries of the RSS feed, which correspond
to the :code:`<item>` tag. We also want to import their related link
(the URI in the :code:`<link>` tag).

But to make things more interesting, we don't want to import all news items.
We want only those who are part of the "TYPO3 CMS" category. Let's see
how we can achieve this.
