When happened?

Could you tell me when happened this fact and how the situation was resolved by the crew?
i CAN'T FIND THE VIDEO, ANYWAY AN air france (I think flight 417) airplane was approaching an airport (maybe in argentina) where the atc couldn't speak english very well and was told to the pilot to take runway 35 (where ILS was inoperative), the captain asked many times if the ils on 35 was operative (because didn't received signal) and the answer was always yes, after a while he was told "no"

meantime the aircraft lost lots of minutes and the "fuel low" sign was on
