Health officials in the Glasgow area are warning people who inject

:00:00.:00:11.

drugs about an outbreak of HIV - after a five-fold

:00:12.:00:14.

On average, about ten new cases are diagnosed in the Greater Glasgow

:00:15.:00:19.

and Clyde area each year, as a result of drug injecting.

:00:20.:00:22.

The health board says last year there were nearly 50 cases.

:00:23.:00:25.

They're warning drug users not to share needles.

:00:26.:00:33.

We need to reiterate the dangers sharing needles and sharing other

:00:34.:00:37.

injecting paraphernalia, because sharing needles and sharing other

:00:38.:00:39.

it's not just needles, other things can carry the virus. Any increase

:00:40.:00:44.

has to be of great concern because if we don't tackle it when it had a

:00:45.:00:48.

very low-level, we know from other cities that it can rapidly increase.

:00:49.:00:51.

So even a small increase in numbers is worrying.

:00:52.:00:52.

There are just three weekends of campaigning before

:00:53.:00:54.

Today the main party leaders have been out in the streets,

:00:55.:00:58.

Our political correspondent Nick Eardley has been following them.

:00:59.:01:03.

Election turf wars. As the 5th of May approaches, to the streets with

:01:04.:01:14.

the campaigns. Fresh from launching the Scottish Lib Dem manifesto

:01:15.:01:17.

yesterday, it was pounding the pavements for the party's leader

:01:18.:01:21.

today. The real benefit of election campaigns is to get out on the

:01:22.:01:24.

streets and to listen to what people have got to say, to listen to their

:01:25.:01:28.

questions and try to come up with some answers. People are really

:01:29.:01:32.

hungry for Scotland where we improve things, where we get asked back to

:01:33.:01:37.

being the best again. Ruth Davidson was talking about her manifesto,

:01:38.:01:42.

too. The Scottish Conservatives leader was in Coric to explain her

:01:43.:01:46.

party's van Zyl Scottish Borders. We're asking the Scottish people to

:01:47.:01:49.

trust us with a very specific job of top I'd love to be First Minister on

:01:50.:01:55.

maybe six but if I'm not, I can do a job for people out there. Just 18

:01:56.:02:02.

days left now for the parties to make their arguments before the

:02:03.:02:06.

polls opened. Next week the SNP will launch their plans in their

:02:07.:02:08.

manifesto and the week after its labour's turn. No manifesto for now

:02:09.:02:15.

but Labour are keen to fly the flag for its key policies. We were the

:02:16.:02:20.

first party to publish our tax proposals. We've also led the debate

:02:21.:02:22.

in this party on closing the gap between the richest brisket in our

:02:23.:02:26.

schools. So so much of our policy platform is ready out there and

:02:27.:02:29.

people are already talking about it. I look forward to carrying on with

:02:30.:02:36.

that message. Nicola Sturgeon thinks campaigners are doing just fine. But

:02:37.:02:40.

will voters welcome her ideas with open arms? I think this week is the

:02:41.:02:45.

week we'll see the campaign really move up a gear. The SNP will publish

:02:46.:02:50.

our manifesto on Wednesday. It will be a manifesto for reform and

:02:51.:02:54.

transformation in our health service and education system, our economy.

:02:55.:02:58.

Very much a manifesto for the next generation. To add a half weeks

:02:59.:03:03.

until voters decide which pitch they support. -- two and a half weeks.

:03:04.:03:09.

Meanwhile, the UK cabinet minister Theresa Villiers claims there's real

:03:10.:03:11.

support in Scotland for the campaign to leave the EU.

:03:12.:03:13.

Addressing supporters in Glasgow, she said the country should continue

:03:14.:03:15.

to do business with Europe - but not be run by it.

:03:16.:03:18.

Remain campaigners say leaving the EU would harm

:03:19.:03:20.

The first of the Scottish Cup semifinals took place

:03:21.:03:25.

The Championship side Hibernian were up against the Premiership's

:03:26.:03:29.

It's those Hibernian supporters just trickling out of Hampden Stadium

:03:30.:03:42.

behind me who leave here the happier of the two sets of fans. Hibs were

:03:43.:03:47.

handed the ideal opportunity to go in front early on after a player

:03:48.:03:53.

handled in the area. Jason Cummings stepped up to take the penalty but

:03:54.:03:58.

his audacity went unrewarded, much to the anguish of all those in

:03:59.:04:02.

green. Hibernian handed a debut to the goalkeeper and he turned out to

:04:03.:04:06.

green. Hibernian handed a debut to be a real colossus. In the penalty

:04:07.:04:10.

shoot-out he made him suffer real hero, saving from two players. And

:04:11.:04:18.

so the stage was set for Jason Cummings to step up and score the

:04:19.:04:22.

winning penalty, giving the Hibernian players and fans who will

:04:23.:04:26.

be back here on the 23rd of May Scottish cup final. Tomorrow they

:04:27.:04:30.

will find out whether they play Rangers or Celtic in that final.

:04:31.:04:33.

Tennis, and Andy Murray is out of the Monte Carlo Masters,

:04:34.:04:36.

beaten in the semifinal by Rafa Nadal.

:04:37.:04:38.

But he lost the next two sets against Nadal,

:04:39.:04:41.

to make it seven wins for the Spaniard out of eight

:04:42.:04:44.

In rugby, Glasgow Warriors beat Scarlets 46-10 in Wales.

:04:45.:04:50.

A try by Henry Purrgoss just after half time secured a bonus

:04:51.:04:54.

point for the Warriors in their quest for a home semifinal

:04:55.:04:57.

Now it's over to Jennifer Bartram for the weather outlook

:04:58.:05:04.

Hello, good evening. It's going to be another cold and frosty night

:05:05.:05:14.

tonight with clear spells for many of us, although at first we do have

:05:15.:05:17.

some showers continuing along the Berwickshire coast. Through the

:05:18.:05:21.

night, widespread frost but for parts of the Northern and western

:05:22.:05:25.

isles, we're going to see cloud and outbreaks of rain pushing in for a

:05:26.:05:29.

time. If you're stepping out first thing on Sunday morning, this is the

:05:30.:05:32.

picture. Blue skies for many of us. It will be a bright but chilly

:05:33.:05:36.

start. For parts of North Argyll and the West Highlands, Orkney and

:05:37.:05:40.

Shetland, we have a lot more in the way of cloud. Some outbreaks of rain

:05:41.:05:43.

and it will be feeling a touch milder. For the UK as a whole on

:05:44.:05:47.

Sunday, it's looking like a decent day. It will be staying dry and will

:05:48.:05:51.

see plenty of spells of sunshine. The cloud is gradually going to sink

:05:52.:05:54.

southwards into parts of northern England through the afternoon. Two

:05:55.:05:58.

bridges a touch higher than today's values. As we had through Sunday

:05:59.:06:02.

night and on into Monday, we keep the cloud and be outbreaks of rain.

:06:03.:06:05.

It's going to be turning very windy, too. An area of low pressure just

:06:06.:06:10.

pass into the North of Scotland. You can see the squeeze on the isobars,

:06:11.:06:13.

indicating gale force winds for parts of the Northern Isles and as

:06:14.:06:17.

we had through Monday itself, a weather front bringing some

:06:18.:06:19.

outbreaks of rain, which is gradually going to move away

:06:20.:06:23.

southwards. Behind it, clearer skies with spells of sunshine and

:06:24.:06:27.

temperatures up to 11 Celsius, 52 Fahrenheit.

:06:28.:06:33.

From all of us here, have a very good evening.

:06:34.:06:36.
