Problem Statement

Let ABCABC be an acute triangle. Let ω\omega be a circle whose centre LL lies on the side BCBC. Suppose that ω\omega is tangent to ABAB at BB' and ACAC at CC'. Suppose also that the circumcentre OO of triangle ABCABC lies on the shorter arc BCB'C' of ω\omega. Prove that the circumcircle of ABCABC and ω\omega meet at two points.
