DARYN KAGAN, CNN ANCHOR: Time to get the latest war developments from Renay San Miguel.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

RENAY SAN MIGUEL, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): 12:25 a.m. Eastern, 8:25 in the Gulf, a stream of hundreds of disarmed Iraqi soldiers walk south from northern Iraq toward Baghdad. Some of the men tell CNN's Brent Sadler they or their commanders had surrendered. Others told him they had simply walked away from their positions.

1:18 a.m. Eastern: CNN's Martin Savidge reports a sense of lawlessness in Baghdad, looting continues, most stores remain closed and U.S. Marines are trying to dispose of weaponry left behind by Iraqi forces.

2:33 a.m.: CNN's Ben Wedeman reports from Kirkuk that U.S. forces are moving into the northern Iraqi city in greater numbers after the city fell to Kurdish fighters yesterday. U.S. troops are also working to secure oil fields around Kirkuk.

3:38 a.m.: chaos and looting in Mosul. As CNN's Jane Arraf reports, there appears to be no one in charge. No soldiers from the Iraqi regime or the coalition seem to be present in Iraq's third largest city.

4:00 a.m.: U.S. Marines report they shot and killed two children at a checkpoint in Nasiriya when the vehicle in which the children were traveling ignored warnings to stop.

5:26 a.m.: CNN's Chris Plante at the Pentagon reports the Iraqi Army's 5th Corps, in charge of defending Mosul, has surrendered to U.S. Forces.
