The world in brief 
Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, admitted that talks with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, could be necessary to end the war. Yesterday he had accused the Kremlin of pursuing an “obvious policy of genocide”; the UN said that at least 4,000 civilians have been killed since the war began. Meanwhile, Russian forces continued their push into the Donbas region of Ukraine. The mayor of Severodonetsk, an encircled city, said that 1,500 of its citizens have been killed and 90% of housing damaged.
Officials in Uvalde, Texas, admitted that police waited an hour between their entry to the school and their confrontation with the shooter during the massacre on Tuesday, in which 21 people died. At least two children called 911 from inside the classrooms where the gunman’s rampage unfolded. A law-enforcement official said it was the “wrong decision” not to enter the classrooms sooner.
Iran seized two Greek-flagged oil tankers in the Persian Gulf. The action appears to have been payback for Greece’s role helping America confiscate oil shipments from an Iranian-flagged ship in Greek waters earlier this week. Greece’s foreign ministry accused Iran of “acts of piracy”.
G7 energy ministers called on OPEC, a cartel of oil producing countries, to “act in a responsible manner” and boost output to tackle rising global energy prices. In the same breath the leaders made climate pledges to end “inefficient fossil fuel subsidies” by 2025. OPEC will meet next week but is expected to resist calls to pump more oil.
In Brazil, video footage of a black man asphyxiating to death in the boot of a police car caused widespread anger. Accounts differ as to why Genivaldo de Jesus Santos was stopped by the police in the city of Umbaúba, but he was handcuffed and forced into the boot by officers who then apparently let off a gas grenade beside him. Mr Santos’s widow described the incident as a “crime”.
A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit by Donald Trump attempting to halt the New York attorney-general’s probe into alleged fraud at his real-estate business. It was the second legal defeat for America’s former president in two days: on Thursday he was ordered to testify under oath in the civil investigation. Previously the state prosecutor’s office said “some kind of enforcement action” against Mr Trump and his business would probably come soon.
ABBA returned to the stage after four decades in “ABBA Voyage”, a digital show that uses motion capture technology and a live backing band to recreate the 1970s superband in their prime. Thursday’s premier in London was attended by Sweden’s King Carl XVI Gustaf along with the four real-life members of the band.
Fact of the day: 125, the factor by which Chinese exports of goods to America increased in the three decades to 2015.
