The circles \(\sigma_1\) and \(\sigma_2\) intersect at points \(A\) and \(B\). At the point \(A\) to \(\sigma_1\) and \(\sigma_2\), respectively, the tangents \(l_1\) and \(l_2\) are drawn. The points \(T_1\) and \(T_2\) are chosen respectively on the circles \(\sigma_1\) and \(\sigma_2\) so that the angular measures of the arcs \(T_1A\) and \(AT_2\) are equal (the arc value of the circle is considered in the clockwise direction). The tangent \(t_1\) at the point \(T_1\) to the circle \(\sigma_1\) intersects \(l_2\) at the point \(M_1\). Similarly, the tangent \(t_2\) at the point \(T_2\) to the circle \(\sigma_2\) intersects \(l_1\) at the point \(M_2\). Prove that the midpoints of the segments \(M_1M_2\) are on the same line, independent of the positions of the points \(T_1, T_2\).

The isosceles trapeziums \(ABCD\) and \(A_1B_1C_1D_1\) with corresponding parallel sides are inscribed in a circle. Prove that \(AC = A_1C_1\).

From the point \(M\), moving along a circle the perpendiculars \(MP\) and \(MQ\) are dropped onto the diameters \(AB\) and \(CD\). Prove that the length of the segment \(PQ\) does not depend on the position of the point \(M.\)
