There is no embedded video on https://www.france.tv/france-2/journal-20h00/ thus nothing is downloaded.

[MichelLopez]

It was the same for the http://pluzz.francetv.fr/videos/jt20h.html page previously but yt-dl was still capable to download the first linked video.

Currently when going to https://www.france.tv/france-2/journal-20h00/ page the top video linked is https://www.france.tv/france-2/journal-20h00/141375-edition-du-vendredi-12-mai-2017.html

Previously it was embedded directly in the page. Currently it's a redirect.
