After (next-sibling, not child!) a <figure class="sde-video-player" …> tag there is a <script> tag including var video = {…,"videoUrl":"http://pix.sueddeutsche.de/video_fs/dpa/C/6/C682FB96-F0CA-4CC7-B991-69F69D6706F1.mp4",…}. (I assume the dpa part may vary.)

I assume, something like re.search('"videoUrl"\s*:\s*"([^"]+)"', page_content).group(1) should work.
