  Radiative decays of the $\phi$ meson have been studied using a data sample of
about 19 million $\phi$ decays collected by the CMD-2 detector at VEPP-2M
collider in Novosibirsk. From selected $e^+e^-\to\pi^{0}\pi^{0}\gamma$ and
$e^+e^-\to\eta\pi^{0}\gamma$ events the following model independent results
have been obtained: \par $Br(\phi\to\pi^{0}\pi^{0}\gamma) = (0.92\pm
0.08\pm0.06)\times10^{-4}$ for $M_{\pi^{0}\pi^{0}}>700$ MeV, \par
$Br(\phi\to\eta\pi^{0}\gamma) = (0.90\pm 0.24\pm 0.10)\times10^{-4}$.
  It is shown that the intermediate mechanism $f_{0}(980)\gamma$ dominates in
the $\phi\to\pi^{0}\pi^{0}\gamma$ decay and the corresponding branching ratio
is \par $Br(\phi\to f_{0}(980)\gamma)=(2.90\pm 0.21\pm1.54)\times10^{-4}$. The
systematic error is dominated by the possible model uncertainty. \par Using the
same data sample the upper limit has been obtained for the P- and CP-violating
decay of $\eta$ at 90% CL: \par $Br(\eta\to\pi^{0}\pi^{0}) < 4.3\times10^{-4}$
>.
