Is there a right to trade small arms? An arms dealer defends his work. Is there a right to migrate for work? We go to Mexico and China. We speak with the comedians from Allah Made Me Funny. We talk to a Cuban-American woman about the change in US law that will allow her to visit her family back in Cuba as often as she likes. And we hear the dilemma of a woman who wants to leave her dentist - but doesn't want to be considered a bigot.

This week on The State Were In... 15 years since the genocide in Rwanda, Tutsi musician Jean Paul Samputu came home to discover that his best friend Vincent, a Hutu, had murdered his family. After years of drinking and drug abuse Jean Paul went back to Rwanda, found Vincent and forgave him. We look at the right to stay and go and speak with Australians who decided to stay behind to save their homes during last February's devastating forest fires. And we report on how the Israeli government is using red tape to try to drive its Arab population out of East Jerusalem.

In the wake of banks collapsing in Antigua and Venezuela, we consider the right to withdraw your cash. The right to marry, or not. We hear from a British woman who escaped forced marriage, a polygamous husband in Kenya, a man who left to priesthood to marry the woman he loved and Jasvinder Sanghera tells us why she ran from a forced marriage. Finally, we look at the rise of hate crimes in Moscow and commentator Daisy Mohr remarks on Tehran's jolly new murals.
