BBC News Block Hack - Help

I am trying to display the FRENCH version of the BBC news related to Africa. It looks like the layout of the page does not allow parsing of the titles to include in the Block. Is it possible to use keywords instead for listing in the block. Example: *BURKINA* , *COTE* , *MALI*, etc...
p.s. I have tried various URL(s) in the block below with no success.

The French page is only accessible here:

Code:

if( eregi( "block-News-BBCFRENCH.php", $PHP_SELF ) )
{
Header( "Location: index.php" );
die( );
}

global $currentlang;

$rf = file_get_contents("http://www.bbc.co.uk/french/");
$grab = eregi( "<a name=\"startcontent\"></a>(.*)BURKINA", $rf, $printing );
$printing[ 1 ] = str_replace( "<a name=\"startcontent\"></a>", "<TABLE WIDTH=\"100%\" CELLPADDING=\"0\" CELLSPACING=\"0\"><TR><TD VALIGN=\"TOP\" WIDTH=\"1\" ALIGN=\"LEFT\">&&</TD><TD ALIGN=\"LEFT\" WIDTH=\"100%\">", $printing[ 1 ] );
$printing[ 1 ] = str_replace( "</div>", "</TD></TR></TABLE>", $printing[ 1 ] );
$printing[ 1 ] = str_replace( "<span class=\"h2\">", "", $printing[ 1 ] );
$printing[ 1 ] = str_replace( "<a href=\"", "<A target=_blank HREF=\"http://news.bbc.co.uk", $printing[ 1 ] );
$printing[ 1 ] = str_replace( "/low/", "/hi/", $printing[ 1 ] );
$printing[ 1 ] = str_replace( "</span>", "", $printing[ 1 ] );
$printing[ 1 ] = str_replace( "<br>", "", $printing[ 1 ] );
$printing[ 1 ] = str_replace( "<hr>", "", $printing[ 1 ] );
$printing[ 1 ] = str_replace( "<p>", "", $printing[ 1 ] );

$content = $printing[ 1 ]."<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http://news.bbc.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"images/blocks/bbcnews.gif\"></a></p>";
