Triangle $\Delta ABC$ is inscribed in circle $\Omega$. The tangency point of $\Omega$ and the $A$-mixtilinear circle of $\Delta ABC$ is $T$. Points $E$, $F$ were chosen on $AC$, $AB$ respectively so that $EF\parallel BC$ and $(TEF)$ is tangent to $\Omega$. Let $\omega$ denote the $A$-excircle of $\Delta AEF$, which is tangent to sides $EF$, $AE$, $AF$ at $K$, $Y$, $Z$ respectively. Line $AT$ intersects $\omega$ at two points $P$, $Q$ with $P$ between $A$ and $Q$. Let $QK$ and $YZ$ intersect at $V$, and let the tangent to $\omega$ at $P$ and the tangent to $\Omega$ at $T$ intersect at $U$. Prove that $UV\parallel BC$.
