this is SSLCertVerificationError.

you can fix this by visiting the cited image link in internet explorer or edge. (its working)

Spoiler:

maybe it worked for me because I visited this link in edge. (I don't think I did cause I use firefox mostly)

did you somehow visit the http link type for it to work?

I suggested the above changes so that it will work even when ft isn't published on weekdays or cover isn't updated in kiosko website.

In the above changes i used https, make it http.. maybe this will work.

    def get_cover_url(self):
        from datetime import date
        cover = 'http://img.kiosko.net/' + str(
            date.today().year
        ) + '/' + date.today().strftime('%m') + '/' + date.today(
        ).strftime('%d') + '/uk/ft_uk.750.jpg'
        br = BasicNewsRecipe.get_browser(self)
        try:
            br.open(cover)
        except:
            index = 'https://en.kiosko.net/uk/np/ft_uk.html'
            soup = self.index_to_soup(index)
            for image in soup.findAll('img', src=True):
                if image['src'].endswith('750.jpg'):
                    return 'http:' + image['src']
            self.log("\nCover unavailable")
            cover = None
        return cover

I think if datetime method wont return image.. it should go to kiosko site and find that image.

Or this would be much better,

    def get_cover_url(self):
        soup = self.index_to_soup('https://en.kiosko.net/uk/np/ft_uk.html')
        for image in soup.findAll('img', src=True):
            if image['src'].endswith('750.jpg'):
                return 'https:' + image['src']
            self.log("\nCover unavailable")
            cover = None
        return cover
