this is the "cbs morning news" for tuesday, march 17th, 2015. good morning. good to be with you. i'm anne-marie green. a united airlines jet was forced to make an emergency landing after a violent passenger charged the cockpit. united flight 1074 was en route from washington to denver last night with 33 passengers and 6 crew members on board. not long after takeoff, a male passenger tried to get to the cockpit. other passengers grabbed him and threw him to the floor. >> no! come on! >> don't fight, david. >> the pilot declared an emergency and returned to washington. >> we had a passenger becoming violent. no weapon involved. he's restrained by other passengers now though. we don't know his mental condition. but sounds like he's restrained for now. just need to get on the ground. >> the boeing 737 like this one

eventually resumed its flight to denver. the passenger was detained by police and taken to a hospital for evaluation. it's unclear what provoked his outburst. robert durst has been charged with murder in the cold-case death of a longtime friend and could face the death penalty. the real estate heir appeared to confess during a documentary, but his lawyer says durst is ready to fight the charges. danielle nottingham reports. >> reporter: robert durst now faces a first-degree murder charge. prosecutors say he shot and killed his friend susan berman in 2000. for more than 14 years, investigators hadn't been able to gather enough evidence to charge him. that all changed after robert durst reached out to a filmmaker to tell his life story. in the hbo season finale of "the jinx," he presented durst with some new evidence. a letter durst wrote to berman seemed to match the handwriting

and spelling on an anonymous letter telling police where to find her body. >> i can see the conclusion the cops would draw. >> reporter: as soon as the interview was over durst went to the bathroom still wearing his live microphone. >> what the hell did i do? killed them all, of course. >> reporter: he said on "cbs this morning" that his crew didn't realize what they recorded until the editing process. >> obviously for us a shock because it was many months since we had sat down with him. >> reporter: authorities in new orleans arrested durst saturday. monday he waived extradition and agreed to go to los angeles to face the murder charge. >> bob durst didn't kill susan berman. he's ready to end all the rumor and speculation and have a trial. >> reporter: prosecutors will decide later if they will seek the death penalty. danielle nottingham, cbs news, los angeles. well overseas it's election day in israel. voters are choosing a new parliament and possibly a new prime minister.

prime minister benjamin netanyahu is seeking a fourth term. he's run a campaign based on security issues. but polls indicate his party faces stiff opposition. in israel's 67-year history, no party has ever won an outright majority, and the next prime minister may not be named for weeks. susan mcginnis is in washington. good morning, susan. >> reporter: good morning, anne-marie. the polls are open in israel and this election that benjamin netanyahu himself called several months ago, figuring he'd have an easy ride to victory, but this morning he is locked in a tight race, and that trip he made here in washington to address congress about nuclear talks with iran may have backfired on him. as polls open this morning in israel, both the prime minister and his top challenger isaac herzog, made a last-minute push for votes. the two competitors have taken opposite positions on a crucial issue. netanyahu says if elected, he will not create a palestinian

state, a reversal from his past position. the stance puts him at odds with the obama administration which has called for a two-state solution. >> that is something that we are going to continue to work with the international community to achieve diplomatically. >> reporter: herzog promises to work to restore relations with the palestinians an approach that appeals to israelis who want peace. >> if you're a left winger in israel, someone who, among other things believes there has to be peace with the palestinians with two states created side by side then frankly you're angrier than ever at netanyahu, and you're sure to go out and vote today. >> reporter: netanyahu's recent address to congress opposing nuclear talks with iran worsened already strained relations with the white house. >> he certainly thought that would help him in his election campaign look strong but a lot of israeli voters according to the polls, felt uncomfortable that netanyahu was allowed relations with the u.s. to get sour. >> reporter: the state department says the u.s. will work with whomever wins.

but it could be weeks before a winner is determined and a governing coalition formed. anne-marie? >> susan mcginnis in washington thank you, susan. this morning several grass fires are burning out of control in oklahoma. this one in northwest oklahoma has burned at least 23,000 acres. the fire is 15 miles long in between one and two miles wide. a state highway has been closed and nearby homes evacuated, but no injuries are reported. the cause of the fire is not known. more rain is expected in the seattle area today. just what folks there don't need. record rains over the weekend are causing mudslides. this one caused a hillside to crash into a street. no one was injured, and no homes were damaged. another mudslide buried a stretch of railroad tracks. the red cross in vanuatu says survivors are separate for food, water and shelter. this morning relief workers and

know what we have in common? we talked to our doctors about treatment with xarelto®. me, when i had a blood clot in my leg that could have traveled to my lungs. that's why i took xarelto®, too. xarelto® is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. i took xarelto® for afib... an irregular heartbeat that can lead to a stroke from a blood clot. xarelto® is proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. hey, well i'm glad we got together. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. i tried warfarin before, but the blood testing routine and dietary restrictions had me off my game. tell me about it. let's see, golf clinic, or blood clinic? ooh, that's a tough one. not this time. not with xarelto®. anything else? i'll have another arnold palmer. ok. make mine a kevin nealon. really, brian? hey, safety first. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor as this may increase your risk

of a blood clot or stroke. while taking xarelto® you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious bleeding and in rare cases may be fatal. get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto® watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle-related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve, or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto® tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® has been prescribed more than 11 million times in the u.s. and that number's growing. like your guys' scores. with xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring, and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto®. you may be able to get up to 12 months at no cost.
