1. Use wget to retrieve the google news alert page to a file
2. parse the file with PERL, gaining URLs
3. wget those URLs, putting them into subdirectories based on the day 
your script is running

Put the above in crontab/anacron, to run on a daily basis...

I haven't seen a specific tool to the above.
