Problem Statement

Given two circles ω1\omega_1 and ω2\omega_2 where ω2\omega_2 is inside ω1\omega_1. Show that there exists a point PP such that for any line \ell not passing through PP, if \ell intersects circle ω1\omega_1 at A,BA,B and \ell intersects circle ω2\omega_2 at C,DC,D, where A,C,D,BA,C,D,B lie on \ell in this order, then APC=BPD\angle APC=\angle BPD.
