Problem Statement

Let ABCABC be an acute-angled scalene triangle and Γ\Gamma be its circumcircle. KK is the foot of the internal bisector of BAC\angle BAC on BCBC. Let MM be the midpoint of the arc BCBC containing AA. MKMK intersect Γ\Gamma again at AA'. TT is the intersection of the tangents at AA and AA'. RR is the intersection of the perpendicular to AKAK at AA and perpendicular to AKA'K at AA'. Show that T,RT, R and KK are collinear.
