to my 13-year-old son. once again, we will talk more about that in a little while. let's get to the top story. the heir to one of the country's most wealthy real estate families. now charged with another. last night on the popular documentary the jinx he appeared to confess to even more crimes. nbc's stephanie goss is where he is appearing in court. good morning to you. >> good morning, matt. it's extradition hearing and he is expected to waive extradition and being held without bail. law enforcement said they arrested him in the lobby of a marriott where he checked in under an alias and was paying in cash and they caught him mumbling as he walked through the lobby. all of this from the documentary

on him and they promised it would be a dramatic conclusion. the 71-year-old is back behind bars this morning arrested in new orleans over the weekend in connection to the murder of long time friend susan berman. he is the suspect of the documentary, the jinx. >> i tell the whole truth. nobody tells the whole truth. >> he examines three crimes. 1982 disappearance of his wife and a 2001 murder in texas for which he stood trial and was acquitted. >> not guilty. >> and the murder he was arrested for late saturday. the show's finale aired hours after news of his arrest came public. in it he was confronted with a dom damning evidence that tied his

handwriting to the presumed killer. he goes into the bathroom with his microphone still on. he begins talking to himself. >> what the hell did i do? killed them all of course. >> former prosecutor janine investigated him in 2000 during the time of berman's murder. >> susan berman was killed because she knew too much about the case i was investigating and he knew she knew. i believe he murdered her to prevent her from talking to us. >> kathleen's friends feel a step closer to justice. >> i will take what i can get. if there is more forensic evidence there, why not. you can only put him away once. >> while his estranged brother expressed thanks. we are relieved and grateful to everyone who assisted in the

arrest of robert durst and hope he will be held accountable for all he has done. the lapd would not confirm a connection between the evidence they say they have and the documentary. he said i et cetera anded more. he will plead not guilty in los angeles. >> today's legal analyst and thoughts on the case. good morning. let's talk about the confession or what appears to be a confession. i think there is a threshold legal question and whether it would be admitted into court. they would argue it shouldn't be heard by jurors. >> here's what the argument would be. they were communicating with law enforcement over a period of two years and acting as agency of the state. he had a reasonable expectation

of privacy and therefore it should be excluded. >> if i'm the prosecutors, who has a reasonable expectation of privacy. what if there is somebody in the next stall? >> he had a lot of experience being hot miked. this was not his first interview. this was going on for months if not years. he could have been aware of what's happening. >> it appears when he said i killed them all to be a confession. what do you do if you are a defense lawyer with a piece of evidence like that. >> a couple of arguments that he has a mental disease or defect. he is rambling and incoherent. or they can say he is sarcastic. what happened? or i killed them all. >> the evidence was quite remarkable to come out. there was a letter sent by the killer to the police that

spelled the word beverly in beverly hills wrong. they came up with a letter known to be sent from him to the victim in this case. it looks like similar handwriting and same misspelling. is that a smoking gun? >> that is the most compelling evidence. he has a hard time explaining it. the handwriting analyst said it is a match. when you look at the letter n, it is a dead ringer. he has a hard time explaining that. >> i know you watched this first trial closely, the in texas. what do you make of the fact that robert durst's own words appear to be his own undoing. >> he sat for the interviews at great length over the advice of his attorneys. people want to confess. they want to talk to someone. that's what happened here and if he is brought down it's by his

own words. >> who knows. there is new evidence and they have a lot to work with. >> let's move on to other news. the where knows of vladimir putin. the russian president made his first appearance in two weeks. good morning to you. >> this may be resolved as we speak. we are just hearing from the reuters news agency that president putin has turned up for a meeting with the president of kerg stan. they suggest that meeting had already happened. there is so much intrigue. over the weekend where is putin was trending while they were right. his reported girlfriend a

glamorous former gymnast had been having a baby. another suggestion that a coop was under way, shot dead while walking with his ukrainian girlfriend in the center of moscow. >> it is very centralized and we know little about what's going on. >> the famously sports loving leader has the flu, fighting a different cold war. one russian newspaper pictured him in bet. officials tell us putin is believed to be under the weather. his image as a strong man even in past comedy sketches protected at all cost. >> vlad it's barack. i have been trying to call you. >> i have been playing iphone game candy crush. i take the candy and i crush it. >> ten days since his previous appearance seen with italy's

prime minister. today more than most in washington and around the world, all eyes were on russia. and we are still waiting to see at the video of president putin as to where he has been. in the past few hours, the president has continued to make decisions. everything the president does is scrutinized. perhaps he said that is just a reality when your president is a superstar. >> thank you carry. >> good pr guy there. now tohistoric feat with a new round of snow. the city of boston is celebrating officially the snowiest season ever. ron mott is there. congratulations. you know you are a boston resident. >> reporter: yeah i have to find out where the celebrations are. some people can do without the record but a lot of people are happy to break it with month

set off an intense manhunt. good morning to you. >> good morning, matt. the shatooting came from that direction about 100 yards away from a vehicle hitting a line of police officers. the police and protesters milling about at the time. this morning is unclear whether they were targeting police or someone else. the shots rang out just after midnight early tuesday morning. >> shots fired. >> one officer shot through the shoulder and the other hit in the face. they charged jeffrey williams with assault, armed criminal acts and firing from a vehicle. punishable with life in prison. >> was he involved in the protests? >> yeah. >> many there demonstrating said

an outside agitator was responsible and not them. police called it an ambush. they claimed the gunfire was a result of a dispute. >> i hate to be too narrow about this but we are not 100% sure. >> the reaction at police headquarters was intense. critics and supporters of police face-to-face. they are still struggling to find common ground. prosecutors say the serious charges will be the same regardless of whether the gunman was targeting the police. both are still at home and expected to recover and the suspect is expected to be in court for his first appearance later today. matt? >> ron, thank you very much.

when the category five cyclone slammed ashore it sounded like a frayed train. behind the camera, they rode out the storm some called hell on earth. >> this is going to be a horrific humanitarian disaster. >> the monster storm packed 185 mile an hour winds and the trail of destruction stretches the length of this small island nation. 90% of housing where infrastructure is strongest is damaged. unicef said 54,000 children are affected by the storm. >> they were really scary. i just have to be strong for them. >> with wind knocking out power and nearly all communication, the 26-foot sea surge flooded many community this is this low-lying nation. one described the now homeless as hopeless.

>> neurotic. >> and open minded. present company excluded. california is carson. also open minded. that makes sense. arizona is not on the list. can you believe it? it's not like friendly beer drinkers. >> most forgettable. they weren't even on the list. >> the digial era handwritten notes seem to be a thing of the past. a new start up. it uses robots to pin notes in your handwriting. here's how it works. carson sends it to this company and calligraphers digitize it by tracing what you wrote and the robots write a note in your handwriting and they seal the envelope and mail it. >> love it. >> do your parents handwriting

what i read luxury toilet paper, i was like what is that? anything quilted or perfumed or ultra soft. reusable. this is the difference. that's fancy. >> sorry that two ply. >> this is the sand paper. let me say that i used to always by generic, the cheapest toilet paper that's like sand paper. >> one thing you should splurge on is toilet paper. >> let's buy the good stuff. who does that? >> a lot of people. >> we can splurge this month. >> let me just have perkale sheets. >> let's make a blanket. >> does it feel soft and lovely? >> wax on wax off.

>> anyone believe in reincarnation? before you dismiss the idea there is a young man you need to mead. >> it's a question or the ages. what happens when we die and is it possible that the dead return? it's a link to many of us and most return americans, but we met a little boy and his mother who are convinced he lived a previous life. while their story doesn't prove reincarnation exists it makes you wonder. meet ryan, a 10-year-old from the midwest who said he was here before. >> does this have a meaning for you? >> i'm pretty sure that's one of my wives. >> is 10-year-old ryan a boy with an overactive imagination? or the reincarnation of a man who died more than a half century ago? it's a mystery that began when he was just 5. >> it was scary at times because

he didn't sleep at night. he would wake up screams and crying. one night he said mom, i have something to tell you. i think i used to be someone else. he started telling stories about how he lived in hollywood. >> had you given much thought to the story? >> no ma'am. i grew up in a baptist church. that's not something we were taught to believe in. >> she tried to keep it a secret worried everyone would think her son was crazy. >> we found the picture, it changed everything. >> a photo about the golden age of hollywood. >> she turns to a page in the book and it's black and white and i said that's me. that's who i was. that's me. >> you thought? >> i was stunned. >> the picture was from the movie night after night, the film debut of mae west. >> her lines were memorable, but the unnamed extra that he

pointed to was in just two scenes and didn't speak a single word. >> this was the picture that his mom showed. >> ryan's memories could be attached to the face but who was he. they turned to jim tucker a child psychiatrist at the university of virginia. for 50 years, researchers tracked 2500 cases of children claiming past lives. >> these cases demand an explanation. we can't just write them off. >> he wrote about many of them. he said few of his cases had as many details as ryan's. >> he was advanced on broadway and gone to hollywood to live in the movies and worked for an agency and seen the world from big boats and talked about being to paris. all of this seemed unlikely. >> ryan remembered he had two sisters and he was married five times and lived on the street

with the word rock in it. he asked for a brand of orange soda discontinued 50 years before he was born. >> i want to go back to my swimming pool. i saw the boys at the bank and they gave me money and i went. >> it's not like a 5-year-old child. >> exactly. >> it took them to identify the man in that old movie. his name was marty martin and just like ryan said he was a powerful hollywood agent. >> he talked about how people changed their names at the agency. >> martin did dance on broadway traveled the world, had two sisters and went to paris with his wife. it was his fifth wife. that street with the word rock in it martin lived on roxbury drive in beverly hills. his daughter confirmed he had a craving for orange soda like ryan said. we found a bottle of that brand.

a lot of people will say come on. this is the parent or someone else feeding him information. >> it's inconceivable that the parents had done all of that. >> even with the 55 specific things ryan said that turned out to be true one claim still bothered dr. tucker. >> he said my daughter will get to be 60 and come back as a baby. that looked like an incorrect statement. >> marty martin's death certificate stated he was 59 when he died. >> since then i got information that the death certificate is incorrect. he was 60 when he died. >> he was just lying about his age like everybody else. >> it was a typo or who knows. >> are you glad you have this experience. >> yes, i am. are. >> does it feel real to you now that you are 10?

>> i still feel like it's real. >> a chance to let go of the past and just be a kid. >> so ryan headed off from the interview to play paint ball. you can read more of the 55 specific facts he got right on today.com. it may be lucky guessing or maybe we need pay more attention. >> too many details for it to be just guessing. >> i went into it saying uh-huh. >> did you actually go like that? >> it's my skeptical raised eyebrows. >> that's amazing. >> it's interesting and the university of virginia they didn't make the college basketball. >> they are in my bracket. >> that and reincarnation. >> and the 10-year-old as the agent. >> back in 15 seconds with easy

. >> we are back with the start of a new series called kick the habit. there is no shortage of advice on how to do that. how do we go about it? we tackle the question in a brand-new book called better than before. good morning. nice to see you. you tackled happiness before and you are tackling bat habits. most of the time we think negative. is that true? >> i have a positive

association. i feel like habits can free us. when people feel a challenge, there is a habit they can't break. >> you are not a behavioral expert. why should people believe your inside on how to change their habits. >> when you look at what i'm talking about, it will ring true. i noticed this pattern before and i didn't have the vocabulary for it. >> we talk about health habits that come to the top of the list. they smack or eat junk foot. how do they kick the habit? >> one is inconvenience. this is very convenient. you dig in before you realize what you are doing. you want to make it inconvenient. you have to untie the knot. >> that would slowly down three seconds. >> that could be enough to make

you think wait this is not what i want. >> you say it's about individual servings as opposed to mass consumption. >> having to unwrap a candy, that's inconvenience. that helps you monitor and it will slow you down. this you can have handful after handful. >> you can never have just one. >> no. for some people not for everyone. for many it's able to give it up and indulge in moderation. cold turkey sounds harder but it's easier. >> that is so wrong. >> if chocolate is your crypt night, no chocolate is easier. >> there is nothing else in there. we can still eat these. >> they are gone. it's easier. >> exactly. >> and the waste. late night snacking is a big bad

habit. you want one cooky and it's three. have a mint that gives you that strong flavor. it gives you that hit. it's not the same as a cookie. even brushing your teeth gives you that same sense of getting your mouth active. >> let's go to savannah who is talking about sleep. a lot of people have a hard time getting to sleep. they want to watch tv or eat. do you have a tip for that? >> use the strategy of scheduling to set an alarm to go to bed. my bedtime is 10:30. most need seven hours. set the alarm to go off and -- >> be regimented about that. >> and you need an alarm to get a head start to get into bed. >> get in your pj's earlier and get your contacts out and brush your teeth. if you tend to say i will watch

we firmly believe in democracy and think freed of of expression is essential for that. we talked about our way. >> the rental womb, that is a judgment. you are not saying it's not for me or not my path. when you label and call children chemical and saying wombs are rented. that's a judgment. >> debra and i, both of our children are ivf and our oldest are adopted. these are real children and give real love and for them to say this, yes, they are quite free to express their opinion as we are free to say what a boneheaded statement and to boycott. i don't wear dolce and gabbana and i don't know if they make men's stuff.
