I'm trying to download the video http://www.ted.com/talks/zak_ebrahim_i_am_the_son_of_a_terrorist_here_s_how_i_chose_peace

It might be that the Ted extractor is expecting the old design. I'll check to see if that's the case.

This is the output when attempting the download:

You are using an outdated version of youtube-dl.

It looks like you installed youtube-dl with a package manager (something like apt-get or pip). You can use that package manager to update youtube-dl (you may need to contact the package maintainer though, and request an update).

Alternatively, uninstall the youtube-dl package and follow our manual installation instructions. From then on, you'll be able to update with sudo youtube-dl -U.
