I try with this c# code but nothing happened:

XDocument feedXML = XDocument.Load("http://www.hellenicshippingnews.com/sitemap-news.xml");

        var feeds = from feed in feedXML.Descendants("url")
                    select new
                    {
                        Title = feed.Element("loc").Value,
                        Link = feed.Element("news:title").Value,
                        Description = feed.Element("news:keywords").Value
                    };

Answer 1

You are forgetting about the namespaces (see those xmlns attributes around urlset root element).

Also, you should use Descendants method instead of Element

See notes in bold below:

Per documentation, Element :

Gets the first (in document order) child element with the specified XName.

And, Descendants :

Returns a collection of the descendant elements for this document or element, in document order.

A child element is considered a direct inner node of the parent element. title and keywords aren't child nodes of url , so you should use Descendants method to search deeper in the node hierarchy.

string ns = "http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9";
string news_ns = "http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-news/0.9";
var feeds = from feed in feedXML.Descendants(String.Format("{{{0}}}{1}", ns, "url"))
            select new
            {
                Title = feed.Element(String.Format("{{{0}}}{1}", ns, "loc")).Value,
                Link = feed.Descendants(String.Format("{{{0}}}{1}", news_ns, "title")).Single().Value,
                Description = feed.Descendants(String.Format("{{{0}}}{1}", news_ns, "keywords")).Single().Value
            };
