What's the difference: allegations vs claims?
In legal and journalistic terms, 'allegations' are formal statements of wrongdoing, often made to authorities, while 'claims' can be less formal assertions. The story uses 'allegations' from ITV News and the Guardian, suggesting a more substantial basis than mere 'claims', which is why the BBC is taking them seriously.
