Re: how to get image in feeds

I am looking to include the images from the BBC news feed. They are in the 
format:


    <item> 
      <title>British women attacked in Zanzibar</title>  
      <description>Two 18-year-old women from London have had acid thrown 
in their faces on the east African island of Zanzibar, police 
say.</description>  
      
<link>http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-23611840#sa-ns_mchannel=rss&amp;ns_source=PublicRSS20-sa</link>
 
 
      <guid 
isPermaLink="false">http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-23611840</guid>  
      <pubDate>Thu, 08 Aug 2013 12:40:28 GMT</pubDate>  
      <media:thumbnail width="66" height="49" 
url="http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/69178000/jpg/_69178361_facebook.jpg"/>
 
 
      <media:thumbnail width="144" height="81" 
url="http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/69178000/jpg/_69178575_facebook.jpg"/>
 
    </item> 

I can extract the content in the <title> or <link> tags with something like 
"result.feed.entries.title". How do I extract the value of the url 
attribute of the media tag?

Many thanks for any help

Bis :-)
