If the purpose of this issue is a site support request please provide all kinds of example URLs support for which should be included (replace following example URLs by yours):

• Single video: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/gorilla-harambe-death-cincinnati-zoo-debate-on-parents-role/

Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

The video URL given above fails to download. I have included the verbose output and updated right before trying.

It may be related to this issue:
#7010

However that issue was closed and it sounds like it was related to it being a live video which this one is not.

[remitamine]

try to download the video directly using the video url until the extraction of videos in article pages fixed.
for this article the video url is http://www.cbsnews.com/videos/cops-investigate-gorilla-incident-at-cincinnati-zoo.

[github-0000]

That URL works normally. I actually already obtained the video from another source and was just making this report as I did not see any bugs related to it. It is already a known issue that you cannot download video's from the article page? I guess I missed it in the open bugs.
