John Craven opens the weekly file on rural issues. This week a report on HM Coastguard. The life-saving service, which relies heavily on volunteers, came to the aid of more than 13,000 people in 1991. But many coastguards are now threatening to resign in protest at a government-backed reorganisation which, they claim, will leave them unable to give immediate help at a rescue. Including at 12.55 the weather for the week ahead.
