rafael nadal has ended his glittering 23—year professional tennis career, bowing out after spain lost to the netherlands in the davis cup. he retires as the second—most successful men's singles player of all time. here he is — speaking to the crowds after that final match. just a kid that followed their dreams. worked as hard as possible to be where i am today. and at the end of the day, being honest, a lot of people work hard. a lot of people try their

best every single day. but i am one of these that, i have been very lucky that the life gave me the opportunity to live, uh, unforgettable experiences because of tennis. so ijust, uh, want to be remembered as a good person and a kid that followed their dreams and achieved more than what i ever dreamed. quite something, that final speech. russell fuller was there and he told me more from malaga. the noise yesterday, for the match, and then also for the doubles, as spain tried to extend nadal�*s farewell by winning the quarterfinals of the davis cup, 11,000 capacity, many
4:47 pm
shouts for rafa, even when he was on the team bench and was not on the court. then we have the video presentation with words from federer and serena williams and andy murray, and it was a very special evening, even though spain did not get the fairy tale ending which would have been nadal lifting the davis cup for a fifth time on sunday, that has been denied to the spanish public. you have watched him over many years, so what stood out for you? his career has been so long that i have only been able to cover the second half of it but the match that everybody thinks of, when they think of nadal, the compelling and enduring rivalry with roger federer, is the wimbledon final of 2008. it was a spectacular tennis match. so significant for nadal to be able to beat roger federer on centre court in the final at wimbledon, and then there's the 14 french open titles. imagine even the playing
4:48 pm
in the same grand slam 14 times, let alone winning it! and then the style in which he played, and there was no hiding his tactics, his strategy, his ambition and desire to win, the ferocity of that forehand. he thrilled crowds around the world with the athleticism and intensity of his game. he did have an obvious flaw which is to be part of a generation which included novak djokovic and roger federer! but maybe he is greater because of it and all of the top players would say the same thing. you wonder how many grand slams each would have won if the others had not been around but i don't believe they would have exchanged the era in which they lived and played for anything. the florida aquarium evacuated because of the hurricane milton over a month ago.

4:52 pm
he denies any wrongdoing. i have to say, the real logan paul looks very different. did you come all the way over here to ask about how i look? is logan coming? i'm right here, bro. we've been investigating the influence of logan paul's crypto activities for nearly a year. but when we booked an interview, he sent a lookalike and trolled us. i wanted to ask about allegations from critics who say he made personal gains by misleading his fans about crypto. for this, he denies any wrongdoing. the allegations relate to the way the influencer�*s used his social accounts to promote cryptocurrencies, like in 2021, when at the height of his interest in crypto, he posted about an elon musk—themed meme
4:53 pm
coin to his global following. what he didn't say is that he may have been a secret holder of the token. our investigation looked at an anonymous crypto account with close links to logan paul. we noticed the anonymous account was first funded by logan paul's public crypto account, then from his fan clubs nft project, and it purchased a large amount of the coin. moments before the tweet, it bought almost $160,000 worth. when the market peaked 12 hours later, it sold its holding at roughly $120,000 profit. shortly afterwards, the price crashed. so it appears an account with close connections to logan paul made a lot of money from that tweet by buying directly before and selling after. i went to the head office of the securities and exchange commission. i asked their chair about the laws around promoting crypto. they're supposed to tell you if they get paid, how much they get paid,
4:54 pm
whether they own the tokens, whether they've made money on the tokens, whether they actually know something about the project. and we at the securities and exchange commission have brought a number of cases in these areas over the years. gensler couldn't speak specifically about paul, but he told us... influencers, whatever their name might be, don't go out and tout something and mislead the public. because it's illegal? yeah. it's also wrong. there are still questions around paul's crypto activities, but instead of answering them, he chose to send a lookalike. in doing so, he appears to be ambivalent about what happens to fans who invested based on his endorsements. and with a class—action claim filed for his failed cryptozoo project, the allegations around paul exploiting his significant platform to promote cryptocurrency continue to mount. logan paul has consistently denied any wrongdoing and blames other team members for the failure of the cryptozoo project. the full report is available on the bbc iplayer. coming up, we
4:55 pm
will hear more from matt in terms of that investigation. we will also have the latest on the news that the uk's storm shadow missiles have been used inside russia for the first time, this comes after the americans allowed the missiles they gave to be used in russia yesterday. the bbc understands that the uk supplied missiles have now been used on targets inside russia for the first time, so we will have more reaction to that. we will be on capitol hill, that is the door of the ethics committee, they will meet and central is the basic question, are they going to vote on releasing the report into matt gaetz? he is the man who has been chosen by donald trump to be his next attorney general but those allegations are swirling around drugs and
4:56 pm
sex trafficking. we will be back with gary 0'donoghue regarding the committee and that report after the weather. hello there. it's staying cold through the rest of this week. there's a risk of some further snow and icy conditions. have a look at the satellite picture. this area of cloud here could head towards the south west of england and bring some wintry weather by the morning, but today most of the wintry showers are coming in on that northerly wind, which is why it feels so cold. even if you've got the sunshine. and many places will be dry this afternoon but temperatures are 3 to 5 degrees. feeling a lot colder down the east coast of england, where the rain, sleet and snow that we're seeing here is going to move away this evening. more snow showers inland across northern scotland overnight. a few wintry showers get pushed into northern ireland over the irish sea. icy conditions here too, and a wintry mix arrives in the far southwest of england.
4:57 pm
it's going to be another cold night. temperatures similar to last night, another widespread frost. but this time we have this area of low pressure here. and whilst it's going to bring most of the rain and snow into france and a lot of snow to the alps, we're just going to catch the tail end of that, which is why we could see a couple of centimetres of snow over the hills in the south west of england. more snow showers overland across scotland developing a bit more widely. stronger winds for western scotland, blowing some wintry showers to northern ireland and again over the irish sea. eastern parts of england, lighter winds than today. it will be dry and sunny, but it's still going to feel cold. and if anything, temperatures in the south and southwest are a little bit lower than today with that cloud and wintry weather too. that should be moving away overnight. still got cold air though as we arrive into friday. another widespread frost. some icy conditions following earlier showers. those showers near the east coast and stronger winds should move away. the winds do become lighter on friday, many places will be
4:58 pm
dry and quite sunny. still cold, mind you. temperatures mayjust creep up a little bit across england and wales and also northern ireland. but big changes to come over the weekend because this deepening area of low pressure is going to be steaming in from the atlantic. it could be the next named storm of the season. it's going to bring with it some very windy weather moving into saturday. it's going to bring with it some heavy rain and, just for a while, there could be some snow all the way from the vale of york northwards into scotland. snow lifting onto the hills. and that's because milder air is going to be heading in slowly but surely through the day. temperatures up to 14 or 15, perhaps, in south wales and the southwest of england.
