British Steel collapses amid Brexit uncertainty, US China trade tensions

Britain's second biggest steelmaker has collapsed and forced into liquidation as a partial result of Brexit uncertainty. 

A potential 25,000 jobs are at risk after British Steel failed to secure emergency government funding with potential buyers yet to emerge with a bailout. 

ABC's Peter Ryan says British Steel was hurt by Britain's looming exit from the European Union, high iron ore prices and investor jitters from US China trade tensions.
