If you request http://www.ft.com/rss/companies/travel-leisure without a User-Agent HTTP request header, you can get an error message back (under a 200 OK status).

This is a bug in FT's website.

As a work around, I suggest using cURL to fetch the data, and then feed a string into DOMDocument.

Why not use a dedicated library like SimplePie to process your RSS feed ?

$feed = new SimplePie('http://www.ft.com/rss/companies/travel-leisure');
$feed->init();
$feed->handle_content_type();

foreach ($feed->get_items() as $item) {
    $permalink = $item->get_permalink();
    $title = $item->get_title();

    // Do what you want...
}

I have not tested this code, it's just to show you an example of use. Here the documentation and an example for more explanations.
