A vehicle should be able to make a right hand turn after checking to see if the lane is clear. This is the reason you are allowed to make a right turn on a red light.
Same with a roundabout. If you are making a right turn and your lane is clear, you can go. The driver should not expect another vehicle in the opposite lane to suddenly cross over and cutting you off.
In this scenario, the person making the right turn did it correctly. Checked to see if the lane was clear then proceeded. It was the other car who suddenly jumped lanes instead of yielding to the car that was now in front of him that was wrong.
