This is the Global News Podcast from the BBC World Service. I'm Gareth Barlow, and in the early hours of Tuesday the 29th of August, these are our main stories.

The pressure on the head of Spanish football to resign for kissing a player after the Women's World Cup final has intensified, with football chiefs from every Spanish region urging him to quit now.

Donald Trump has reacted angrily after a judge set the start date for one of his trials for March, a day before the Super Tuesday presidential primaries.

And the Nigerian Air Force says it's carried out airstrikes against illegal oil installations in the Niger Delta.

Also in the forecast...

The Nisga'a people believe the Memorial Pole is alive with the spirit of their ancestors. They say it was stolen from the Nass Valley in British Columbia almost 100 years ago.

So now the 11-meter-high totem pole is beginning its journey home to Canada from a Scottish museum.
