Rabbi Ysiroel Goldstein, 58, the former director and founder of the Chabad of Poway, admitted to secretly refunding millions in contributions to the synagogue and providing donors with fake receipts, federal prosecutors in San Diego said in a statement. Prosecutors said at least 20 donors claimed massive tax deductions while Goldstein kept 10 percent of the contribution and pocketed more than $500,000, prosecutors said. Tax losses to the Internal Revenue Service were estimated at more than $1.5 million in eight years.

Prosecutors said Goldstein was under investigation for the scheme on April 27, 2019, when officials say 19-year-old John T. Earnest opened fire on the Chabad, killing one longtime worshiper and injuring three, including Goldstein, who lost his right index finger.

Goldstein pleaded guilty to conspiracy to defraud the United States and commit wire fraud, prosecutors said. He faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison, prosecutors said. Five of Goldstein’s associates pleaded guilty to wire fraud, money laundering, filing a false tax return and other crimes.

The baby boy can be apparently be seen clasping his mother's yellow and black intrauterine device in his hand at Hai Phong International Hospital in the city of Hai Phong in northern Vietnam. The baby's 34-year-old mother claims she had the coil inserted two years earlier but it did not work because she later discovered she was pregnant.

The coil is supposed to stop sperm fertilising a woman's eggs and can work by either releasing copper or hormones after being inserted into a woman's uterus. Dr Phuong said the device may have been moved from its original position, becoming an ineffective form of contraception and allowing the mother to become pregnant.

The baby was healthy when born, weighing 7lbs, and both mother and child were under observation in the hospital after the birth, it's reported.

A brave six-year-old needed 90 stitches after standing between his little sister and a charging dog, saving her life. The vicious animal bit little Bridger several times across the face and head, before he got up, grabbed his sister's hand and ran with her to safety. He later said: "If someone had to die, I thought it should be me."

The tot, who is a huge science fan, knew he needed to step in front of his young sibling, who was unhurt in the horrific dog atack. He was rushed to hospital in Wyoming, USA, where he was looked after by a plastic surgeon.

His aunt also updated concerned people with information on the dog involved in the attack. She said: “The dog’s owners are really great people who have been nothing but kind to Bridger and his family. We feel no resentment toward them at all, and - if anything - there’s only been an increase of love between our families as a result of this incident.
